Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan on 12/20

How are you feeling?: I'm feeling pretty good physically. I've been having a lot of anxiety though. Just general anxiety about the holidays and gifts and day to day stuff, but also the pregnancy for some reason. 

Rants/Raves: we're starting to get the play room and my toddler's new bedroom together, so we can transition him out of the nursery. It's exciting but a little sad that he's getting so big!

Questions: anyone else have anxiety that something is wrong with your pregnancy even though you have no symptoms to indicate a problem? Idk why I'm feeling so much more anxiety than last pregnancy. 

GTKY: Biggest pet peeve
Not sure if it's a true pet peeve, but I hate the sound of people eating and drinking. I need background noise during dinner or else I get so annoyed lol

Upcoming Appointments: 12/11 for anatomy scan!

How are you feeling?: had 2 days of feeling good and was about to start working out and now my throat is killing me. How are you supposed to exercise when your kid is constantly getting you sick??

Rants/Raves: Mainly just being sick

Questions: @mcmanda4321 I also deal with anxiety while pregnant. It has happened both times, it gets real bad prior to each ultrasound but definitely starts to ebb if things look okay. I just get high strung while pregnant and it makes it rough. Lots of meditation has definitely helped!

GTKY: Biggest pet peeve- sounds silly but when cars block the side walk- makes me irrationally angry lol

@cuveema12-23 I've see a few reels on FB of mom's being like "at 16 weeks, my intuition told me something was off, and I was right." And those have freaked me out lol
I think I need to stop watching FB reels

How are you feeling?: Finally feel like I’m on an upswing and only dealing with nighttime congestion after being sick for the last few weeks.  @cuveema12-23 going through a similar thing as my toddler and I seem to be getting each other sick over the last month. I just finally did a super short workout tonight even though I still don’t feel 100% yet, hoping the effort will at least count for something even though it wasn’t anything impressive haha!

Rants/Raves: Still annoyed with this nighttime congestion. As soon as I lay down, it seems like everything gets stopped up and I end up mouth breathing in my sleep which I hate.

Questions: @mcmanda4321 I definitely know what you mean with all those Facebook reels about some crazy pregnancy/birth story. With my first (and even now though not as strict) I ended up giving up all social media during pregnancy and early postpartum to help my mental health. It was honestly a great move for me as I would get in my own head about things that weren’t even real in my life.

GTKY: Biggest pet peeve - when people speed up a bunch to pass you only to get stopped at the same light. Why not just follow the speed limit like everyone else?

Upcoming Appointments: next week Tuesday for 16 week appointment 

How are you feeling?: okay - was feeling better in general and this week my headaches are back

Rants/Raves: just want to get through this week! So hard going back to work after a break. I think my lack of sleep is probably triggering my headaches, plus I'm trying to get back to healthy eating after indulging a lot last week so that might be contributing 

Questions: nothing!

GTKY: Biggest pet peeve
Oh probably driving related things. Lately I've had a semi in the 2nd or 3rd lane going well under the speed limit clogging up traffic on my drives to work and I just can't understand it!
