๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? So incredibly exhausted! Weekends are tough with my toddler, but this past weekend I napped when he napped and that helped me get through the day. Slight queasiness here and there. I have my confirmation appointment today. I did not have one of these with my son. Of course the nerves are kicking in, but it will also be nice to be seen and have some confirmation to put my mind at ease.
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: My rant is that work is really busy and stressful right now - one of my co-workers is on maternity leave, and another had to unexpectedly go on sick leave. So I'm having to cover a lot of people's work (while also being super drained from pregnancy). It sucks! I suppose I should balance this out with a rave - my manager/director totally recognize that I'm taking on a lot and are giving me whatever support I need. So I'm grateful to have awesome management!
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: NATM!
๐๐ง๐๐ฌ: Whatโs your favorite Thanksgiving dish? - I've been making a stuffing with mushroom and herbs the past few years that I love. And then of course I'm obsessed with pumpkin pie!
๐๐๐ / ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ + ๐๐ฎ๐๐: I think 7 weeks, July 14 (first appointment 12/11, so we'll confirm then).

๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ข๐๐/๐๐น๐๐ฒ/๐ฃ๐ถ๐ป๐ธ/๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป: Team Finding Out - last time we knew the sex before we announced to family, but I think we want to announce around Christmas so we can tell everyone together and I don't think we'll know by then.
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? Really good actually! I had awful heartburn with my daughter, so I'd love to not have that again. I think the biggest thing I'm dealing with is just fatigue, and it doesn't help that my daughter keeps waking up at 5am...
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Kind of struggling with believing this pregnancy is real because we had trouble with my daughter and are not exactly ready for Baby #2... We're thankful that we don't have to go through all the waiting and medication, but our daughter isn't even 1 yet and I'm not ready to share my time.ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: None at the moment.

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? So nauseous, tired, headaches. Basically feel like crap. Trying to keep up working out. I did not feel this rough last go around but that WAS 6 years ago. Lol
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Work is so busy right now with holiday and I just took on additional responsibilities around two months ago as I was not planning this pregnancy. Iโm trying to adjust mentally to this new future as I had accepted we were going to only have the one. Such a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation! I will be glad to get through 1st trimester so I can feel like I can make tangible plans.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: None at the moment.
๐๐ง๐๐ฌ: Whatโs your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Most of the time itโs the desserts! This year it will probably be rolls because I canโt imagine eating anything else ๐

Mild nausea and a lack of will to function but trying to remain optimistic!
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: I swear,ย if i hear "You'll be fine" from my husband one more time when I tell him how I'm feeling on my nightly calls, I'm going to kill him! You try suddenly realizing that bread makes you want to vomit and then you can talk!
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: How dark do positive pregnancy lines actually get? I know they're qualitative not quantitative but I keep thinking the lines might be getting lighter when I feel the urge to double check that I'm not crazy about being pregnant.ย

I have a full time clinical job plus teach a class at the local university, so with patient caseload and finals coming up, Iโm taking it one minute at a time! Just set up a tour of the maternity unit at our local hospital. Looking forward to seeing what awaits us next year. Husband has been amazing and helping with getting the place ready for a new roommate.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Nothing right now.
๐๐ง๐๐ฌ: Whatโs your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Pumpkin pie, hands down. I grow pumpkins each year in my garden, then roast and puree them for fresh pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter, etc. ๐ย
I also wouldnโt worry about how dark or not the lines are. I imagine that time of day/how hydrated you are/lots of other factors can impact how dark it is!

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? Horrible! But I know thatโs typical and a good sign of a thriving pregnancy. Morning sickness but ALL day long, dizziness due to dehydration, exhaustion, sore breasts, insomnia, etc. All the things for 7 weeks

First appt: They did an abdominal ultrasound and it was very surreal seeing our tiny little baby. They said everything looks ok/as they would expect right now. I lost my list of questions I had planned to ask, so I was frustrated with myself, but they gave me a handout with lots of information. It made me a little worried because I had a pink hamburger already lol. It also made me realize that personally I want to be more cautious about not getting the flu or COVID this winter, because of higher risks during pregnancy, which I didnโt know about before. ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
They asked me to think about if I prefer NIPT genetic testing or not. The test screens for certain abnormalities and can also tell gender if you want to know. It can help you know whether you might plan to give birth nearer an equipped hospital if your baby is more likely to have special needs. They said a lot of people base their decision on the cost, which for me is $250 (it could be less for other people depending on what insurance). Wondering about your experiences with this.
๐๐ง๐๐ฌ: Whatโs your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Sweet potato casserole
I also did the NIPT for my son. Everything came back low risk, which was very reassuring for me. Personally, I would want to know as soon as possible if there is a genetic condition so I can prepare. But everybody has different preferences, and there is no right answer. You have some time to think on it! If you decide to go for it, it is nice being able to find out the sex of the baby at 12 weeks instead of at the 20 week anatomy scan (if youโre planning to find out at all!)

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? Good overall. Light nausea throughout the whole day, very tired.ย

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด? Tired and all-day nausea.ย
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: Rave: Iโm just relieved to have made it through Thanksgiving. It was my first year hosting and I made the entire meal. I was so worried about how it would go feeling so tired and nauseous, but it went great. Rant: Fourth time around belly is showing so early. I am also so tired and nauseous. Just feeling really frumpy and not myself. This has been my usual experience in the first trimester, I just always forget about the awkward transition. Looking forward to the second trimester when I feel like myself again. I also probably need to start getting some maternity clothesโฆ (I gave away all of mine after my last pregnancy. I thought we were done! We also gave away all of our baby stuff, so starting at square one. At least I know what we liked and used, so hopefully we can be more streamlined than in the past!)ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Have you all started thinking about names? I have so many names I love, but it was always hard getting on the same page with my husband. I think we actually have our names already picked out this time around. Itโs a relief, but I miss the fun of figuring it out.

My grandmaโs green beans. I wish I could recreate them. They are so simple and delicious. I was feeling nostalgic this year and made Pecan Bars like my grandpa would make and corn casserole like my other grandmother made. Neither were as good as theirs, but it was a nice way to remember them.ย
