Before we head out and make the 4 hour drive for Thanksgiving #3, I figured I'd hop on The Bump real quick.
Please preface your post with ***QUESTION BELOW*** if you have a question that you'd like feedback on!
How far along are you?
How are you feeling?
Rants/Raves?
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!!
Re: FRIDAY SYMPTOMS
How are you feeling? Good today so far. Other than some slight cramps.
Rants None
Fave Christmas movie? Either Home Alone the first one or Charlie Brown Christmas. It's not Christmas til I've seen these lol. I'm lame that way.
How are you feeling? Good right now! I think I'm heading out of the nausea phase and into the hungry and horny phase...
Rants/Raves? Just ordered my UppaBaby Vista for $498... I'm honestly so excited, I feel like I hit the jackpot! Although I am going to have a stroller in my house for 28 weeks pre-baby now!
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! Love Actually or The Holiday... Love them both but can't gif to save my life!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
How are you feeling? Better than yesterday- went to sleep last night at 7:10pm!! I was up early with my toddler, so it's not like I slept over 10hrs but it was still helpful. I am feeling anxious though... I'm way past the point at which I had 2 mcs, so I'm feeling hopeful and attached to this pregnancy and pray I don't get my heart broken. I honestly don't know how I would pick myself back up right now. Especially as I look and feel so pregnant.
Rants/Raves? Rant- I just really don't enjoy dinner time lately. I always feel so tired, can't think of anything I actually want to eat, have no patience for my toddler if she's moody etc. I know- first world problems- but I normally love my meals and look forward to big interesting dinners with my family.
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? I actually love all lame made-for-tv holiday movies. I don't know what it is. I just love the really cheesy, predictable ones with B-list actors. It's such a guilty pleasure.

How are you feeling?
Excited to be into double digit weeks! Still naseous but I'm hoping I'm past the worst of the puking.
Rants/Raves?
My brother was excited to find out our news yesterday. Tomorrow we're telling DH's grandparents so I'm hoping for equal excitement. For one set it'll be their first great grand child so I shouldn't be disappointed.
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!!
The Santa clause. Don't know why but I always loved that movie.
How are you feeling? Better than yesterday--had severe back ache. Still battling morning sickness. I just want to feel pregnant instead of perpetually hungover.
Rants/Raves? Hanging out with some old friends today; we used to be very close but at some point they seemed to turn into mean girls. Not sure how this will go. And hoping my stomach holds. My m/s seems to be getting worse at night lately.
GTKY Fave Holiday Movie: Family Vacation. I have at least one or two ugly Christmas sweaters quoting the movie.
How are you feeling? Still nauseous in the AM. Also feeling like I'm smuggling a beach ball, but still trying to suck it in because it's just bloat and organs being pushed up so I feel like I can't really be "showing" yet.
Rants - I am so over my BIL. He works for DH and is a 35 year old man child, DH is always bailing him out of some stupid situation and I'm just so tired of his shit. I can't even explain it all becuase it would be way too long, but suffice it to say he's thinking about moving back to his hometown (6 hours away), DH is upset about it and I can't even pretend to give a crap. Byeeeee.

How are you feeling?
Just tired. Very easily out of breath, too, which is getting frustrating.
Rants/Raves?
It's Friday! And I finished DH's main Christmas gift this morning before work (online), so I'm happy about that. I'm usually at a loss for what to get him but I'm excited about his gifts this year!

(Damn you, mobile. I'll figure out how to GIF from here one day)
It's not Christmas until I've watched Family Vacation...so damn funny! But I'm a sucker for all Christmas movies. DH & I always make our movie line up (Elf, The Santa Claus movies, Home Alone 1&2, Love Actually, etc).

Tired tired tired.

My cousin announced she was pregnant last night! I'm still planning on announcing at Christmas when I actually get to see my family in person, but ahh it was so hard not to tell her I'm expecting too! She's 2 weeks ahead of me. This is going to be so much more fun with two new babies in the family!
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme... What is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
This is so hard. Hmm ok. Ever since I was young my family has held big Christmas Eve parties with family and friends. And the movie A Christmas Story is always on tv ... On repeat. So I'm gonna go with that movie.
How are you feeling? Fine
Rants/Raves? So glad my in-laws could decide last minute to descend from their pedestal to pay us a visit tomorrow. I'd only planned to cook for the three of us. Yay for last minute trips to the store!

DH and I have made it a tradition to watch Black Christmas every year on Christmas Eve! It's been a nice palate cleanser after having to watch A Christmas Story, which is my step mom's Xmas Eve tradition.
I also love The Holiday.
And Love Actually.
How are you feeling? Pretty good except I also get very easily out of breath and my heart races with any little activity (like a flight of stairs!)
Rants/Raves? I caved and bought some maternity clothes because Gap had 50% off their entire site!!
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! I LOVE Elf and Christmas Vacation
How far along are you? 11+6
How are you feeling? Tired, fully/heavy boobs, random shooting pains through my vagina (yay). Other than that, I'm feeling pretty darn good. **My question: Anyone else here with a short torso? When did you / or are you starting to pop out a little bit? I'm 5'6 with a very short torso. Over the last week or so I've noticed my lower abdomen is a bit more hard and I can't suck it in. I don't think this is bloat anymore. Fully aware that it is different for everyone, just curious if those of you with short torsos saw any change sooner than later.
Rants/Raves? I get to see my mom, dad and sister tonight! As soon as H gets home from work, we are heading 4 hours north for the weekend. We don't get to see them very often, so I'm pretty excited. My mom has always made a huge deal about the holidays, so I fully expect Christmas music to be playing and something baking in the oven as soon as we walk in the door. I love it.
GTKY: Favorite Christmas movie...
Family Vacation
Polar Express
How are you feeling? Like I'm always on the edge of barfing. Diaper changes for my toddler have become a real problem.
Rants/Raves? My skin is really nice these days. Unless I dare to wear makeup, in which case I erupt into giant, hideous zits. But as long as I keep anything but warm water off of my face, it's flawless.

I'm still the mayor of Blumpville here, especially in the evening.
@laurenm2123 where did you find your stroller for such a low price???? Black Friday deal??? I want to know!! I'm dying to have this stroller!!!
How far along are you? 10 weeks 2 days
How are you feeling? slightly better, still nauseous in the am and dead tired at 830pm. I'm looking forward to going back to a more paleo diet. For right now, it's ALL the carbs!
Rants/Raves? How do you figure out what you need to buy immediately??? I'm trying to budget and make purchases while I'm at a 100% salary (when I'm on STD for 6 weeks after delivery, I'll only receive 60% pay).
GTKY: We'll stick with the holiday theme...what is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie? Bonus points for a GIF!! One day I'll figure out the GIF thing.....but I do love me some Home Alone!
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Just exhausted and a little squicky here and there. But hey, naps!
Rants/Raves? We hosted Thanksgiving yeaterday, and made our announcement. We gathered everyone for a "family picture", except DH set the camera on video mode. He said "Ok, when the camera starts flashing, everyone say.... [crdo]'s pregnant!" After a stunned beat, everyone flipped. My dad literally jumped up and down, my mom, sis, and MIL started sobbing, and everyone else teared up. Lots of hugs and congratulations all around. It truly was a wonderful moment.

A Christmas Story, for sure. I also love The Holiday, The Santa Clause, Meet Me in St. Louis (not truly a holiday movie, but my family watches it around Christmas), and Love Actually.
