Re: Thursday Check-In - 4/7
What's new with baby (size, development): my little Jelly Bean is forming a nose and lips. Their brain is rapidly developing!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: still just lots of reading. Trying to eat better but fried chicken just called my name on Tuesday and I caved so hard...
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: had to break out a hair tie to hold my pants on the other day... The bloat is so real!
When is your next appointment: today! 3pm PST. FX for an ultrasound (not 100% sure I'm getting one)
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? I worked at my dad's storage facility which was in San Francisco. The yard was huge so we used to drive golf carts around and one day I actually got shot in the arm by some kids that were using me for target practice with their BB guns. The projects were on a hill up above the facility so I like to tell people I got shot in the "hood" in SF
What's new with baby (size, development): size of a blueberry (which makes me think of violet from willy wonka and the chocolate factory)
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I had a funeral out of state last weekend for my uncle, and most of my extended family was there. I know it's early, but living 700 miles away I don't get to see them much so I took the opportunity to share the news in person rather than social media. I figure if nothing else, I can use all the prayers and good vibes coming from them!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Had some spotting yesterday that scared me, but the doctor assured me its normal. Battled a stomach virus and I have a sinus infection right now. Overall feeling pretty blah. Haven't worked out in a good week which is frustrating.
When is your next appointment: one week from today (finally)!!
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? My first job was as a hostess at a local italian restaurant in my hometown. I enjoyed it, plus I got to have italian food every day! The owner of the restaurant is still very close with my family (even came to the visitation at the funeral earlier this week).
What's new with baby (size, development):
Lego man!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Still nothing. I have all the big items and until I know the gender we won't be buying anything. If it's a boy we only need a car seat.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Morning sickness is subsiding from all day to occasional. This SCH better have reduced in size!
When is your next appointment:
Today! I get the Progenity genetic test and I'll get to see baby as we look at my hemorrage.
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? I was a bus girl at a popular breakfast and lunch place. I really enjoyed it but the hours and tips greatly decreased after summer due to slow season on the lake. No funny stories that I can remember.
What's new with baby (size, development): baby is the size of a green olive according to TB; a pecan according to another app I have.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: still nothing lol
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm still struggling with nausea, more so in the evenings. And still exhausted.
When is your next appointment: April 29th. Actually, I think I have another one on the 27th with a MFM dr.
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? My first job was working at KFC when I was pregnant with my daughter at 16. I ate so many damn twisters when I worked there lol
What's new with baby (size, development): its a blueberry. Gettimg arm and leg joints. Growing fast
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: reading a whole lot, but not stressing about reading, trying to eat better and failing with my 3 night in a row nacho binge.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: other than slight nausea (no puking) i havent had too many, not enough for my family to question if im pregnant (havent announced yet) just really hungry lots of the time, moody, exhausted. Anything to be super concerned about or is it just normalcy?
When is your next appointment: one week! Consultation with a midwife. Hubby still wants to meet with an ob.
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? My first job was working at curves fitness for women when i was 18. One of the most fun jobs ive ever had. Got to workout daily practically for free. Dont have too many memories from it tho, it was from a darker part of my past where a lot of things went wrong in my life. But 6 years later im happily married with a sea monkey on the way
Happy Thursday everyone!

GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? Ski Instructor assistant for the kiddos (were a ski family). I was 13. You can't legally work in my state till 14 but I hated race training and a few of my friends who were 14 were going to become instructor assistants. I lied to the ski school director about my age so I could start working but of course we had to sign contracts and provide proof of age eventually. I had never lied before and I was so distressed. I ended up coming clean by walking into his office and just sobbing. He laughed at me and said, "I've known you since you were four, you don't think I know how old you are? its ok, I'm proud you wanted to teach so bad." I was so relieved! But the stress of it turned me off to lying forever. He let me "work" the rest of the season. I taught every winter after that into my 20s!
What's new with baby (size, development): Size of an olive, more detailed features are forming
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Not much, just reading and talking to it a lot
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: All the symptoms, however (and I'll probably jinx it now) the m/s seems to be getting a little better each day this week. Super tired all the time, and my appetite is that of a 3 year olds (minus the ketchup).
When is your next appointment: April 28 - can't believe that's only 3 weeks away!!
GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? My first "real" job was at a lake resort 6 hours from where we lived. I lived at the resort for the better part of a summer, cleaned cabins, checked people in, etc. It was a really fun job! No funny stories that I can remember, I just recall flirting with the dock boys all day long
What's new with baby (size, development): jelly bean
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing this week

GTKY: What was your first job? Any funny stories from it? Cashier at a grocery store.
I often worked with my BFF who would work the cash next to me. We had a thing where if a customer was buying a falic looking product we would cough loudly to get the other persons attention and then hold it up in the air to make the other one laugh hysterically.
We were really mature.
