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.

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!

    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. ๐ŸŽƒย

  • @lexxipaige My husband traveled the week after I got my positive pregnancy test and I was anxious the whole time, so I get it! And Iโ€™m sorry your husband isnโ€™t being more supportive. I personally wish there was some sort of pregnancy simulator that all men could be put through that simulates every bad pregnancy symptom lol

    I also wouldnโ€™t 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!

  • @lexxipaige It's completely understandable to have concerns about the darkness of your pregnancy test lines. Typically, positive lines should remain dark or get even darker as your hCG levels increase, especially in the early weeks of pregnancy. However, variations can occur due to factors like testing at different times of the day or differences in urine concentration. If you're feeling uncertain, it might be helpful to take another test a few days later for comparison. Additionally, if you continue to feel anxious about your results or experience any unusual symptoms, reaching out to a healthcare professional can provide reassurance and clarity. Trust your instincts and remember that it's always okay to seek further confirmation!

    ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€/๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€:ย 

    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 didnโ€™t know about before. ย 

    ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€:

    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.

  • @watermelonsunshine I think it's up to you what you feel most comfortable with. I for sure want to know and am going ahead with the NIPT blood test. But in Canada it's free so makes it a lot easier to decide. I think I would still do it regardless because then I could prepare myself. But that's up to you if you think it would change anything for you
  • @watermelonsunshine Seeing baby for the first time on the ultrasound is such a wonderful experience! With my son, I remember thinking, thatโ€™s mine?! Iโ€™m the mother?! ๐Ÿ˜›

    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 youโ€™re planning to find out at all!)

    My family traditionally makes Ukrainian dishes for part of thanksgiving, so itโ€™s perogies for me!ย

    ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€/๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Rave: Iโ€™m 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 clothesโ€ฆ (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 


    ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€: 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. Itโ€™s a relief, but I miss the fun of figuring it out. :)

    My grandmaโ€™s 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 

  • @tashaandpeanut I'm in Vancouver! I was talking about the genetic testing which I think is the NIPT test. I'm not sure about finding out the sex that early though. Are they the same test?
  • @bayleafm Iโ€™m in SK, we have coverage for the nuchal translucency screening and associated maternal serum screening, which might also be classified at NIPT? But I was meaning the more accurate cell-free DNA testing which can tell you sex. The cost for the second is about $550 here.
