Questions for the Group:
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever taken? My wedding in Mexico was the best trip!
I'm not really doing anything to get ready yet, but I'm a perpetual procrastinator. My husband has backed my bag while I was in labor 2/3 times now LOL
Weird (for me) symptom: I almost passed out last night. I've never passed out in my life. I worked in surgery for years, but last night I was reading about EDS and just thinking about it made me weak and nauseated and everything went grey; had to call husband out from taking a crap to come help me - embarrassing
Best vacation: my honeymoon - stayed at the most amazing b&b on a private beach and the weather was perfect. The b&b owners managed to completely pamper us while still being practically invisible. Leaving packed picnic baskets for us, coming back to gourmet meals. We were in between a touristy area to the south and a beautiful historic area to the north with lots of nature trails, etc. We went back for our 1st anniversary too. I can't wait to return, it's my "happy place" when I relax; I dream of living there.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: "Researching" on Pinterest aka not cleaning up the house.
Rant/rave/symptoms: Still sore tatas and I'm more tired than usual. I'm not crazy so I don't WANT more symptoms, but with a history of loss, I would actually feel better if I had them? Still quite early in the pregnancy though so I am sure I'll regret that soon enough.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever taken? It wasn't a vacation per se, but I studied abroad in France when I was a junior in college and it was an amazing experience. I only had classes Tues-Thurs so we traveled at least half of the weekends I was there. Got to see a lot of cool stuff and a lot of cool places. Would love to do that again on an actual working person's budget though haha.

What's new with baby (size, development): We are somewhere between a blueberry and olive...I had my second ultrasound today! We heard the heartbeat which was incredible.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We did have our spare bedroom repainted (a light oatmeal color) and ordered some closets from Ikea (they don't typically build houses with closets in place in Jordan!).

Questions for the Group: Anybody lose a little weight during these few weeks? I lost a few pounds, which I'm thinking is because my MS was bad last week, but it could have been water weight even though I'm still holding a ton! My doctor said it was normal but I was so shocked because I feel so big and heavy from the bloat!

Yeah, we just got married a month ago, but we weren't "trying", we were just going to let it happen when it happened... and it did.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: told three of my close friends last night which was really fun!
Rant/rave/symptoms: today wasn't bad nausea wise (which is a relief after yesterday's misery). I put ginger snaps in the night stand and ate them the moment I woke up, I had to choke down breakfast still, but at least I didn't throw up today. I sucked on some jolly ranchers and didn't let myself get too hungry which seems to have helped me feel almost normal for most of the day.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever taken?
Hard to chose one, but after my grandma died, my whole family flew to Florida and had a celebration trip in her memory. She had left behind a little bit of money and so we used the extra funds to make it a really special trip. We went to whatever parks we wanted and ate whatever we wanted. Growing up without a lot of money, it was really amazing to be able to go on a trip like that and have the freedom to not worry about how much everything cost.
