3. I have a us tomorrow to check in on the SCH. I'm nervous about it. I just want the all clear, and I'm terrified of something being wrong. Ugh I wish I could be happier and peppier about this.
4. See above. Just a ball of nerves waiting for tomorrow.
5. I'm not a super sweet person. I guess my favorite dessert is bananas sauteed in butter, honey, and cinnamon. Similar to bananas foster but slightly healthier and super easy to make.
Weekly highlights? I go on Friday for my second OBGYN appointment and for the Doppler.
Rants/Raves/Questions? As a migraine sufferer pre-preg, I've managed to avoid them this entire time....until Saturday night. Oh my lanta it was terrible. Then, I spent all day yesterday puking and feel like it today. What gives!? I thought I was gonna be smooth sailing soon!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? I'm a sucker for a decadent chocolate brownie. Or a really good slice of cheesecake.
How big is baby? lime, Brussels sprout, profiterole (cream/custard stuffed pastry), bee hummingbird, poker chip
Weekly highlights? Just another 11 days until my first appointment! I am excited to get the u/s done, but afraid of blood work. I don't do well with that stuff, so I may have to really keep myself calm. I have the day off, so that will give me a LOT of time to prepare. I am also anxiously looking forward to it, just to know that everything is going well.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. I was out of town this past weekend at my grandparents and managed to feel pretty good most of it. We got to tell them, and they seemed pretty excited. It will be their 4th great grandchild! I have realized though that, on weekends... if we (or just I) have a busy Saturday, I am pretty much useless Sunday cos I am SOOOOO tired. After we got back to town yesterday and ate lunch with my parents, I took a 2 hour nap. I was exhausted. I may just have to keep this Saturdays activities (whatever we end up doing) to a low so I can function Sunday for a cousins graduation party that is out of town. At least I can sleep in Monday for Memorial Day.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? I have a hard time saying no to most desserts (which is probably why I can't ever lose weight)... but I LOVE Grasshopper Pie.

Rants/Raves/Questions?: Really excited to meet the midwife I'm interested in having at my home birth. We're doing a meet and greet in a few weeks.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert?: The better question is, "What ISN'T my favorite dessert?" I have too many to name, but I love chocolate...and cheesecake...and tiramisu...
Weekly highlights?: Dr appointment on Thursday where we will hear the heartbeat for the first time. Next weekend we are finding out the sex!
Rants/Raves/Questions?: I'm really looking forward to getting into the 2nd trimester. I have been feeling better the last two weeks but still have days (like today) when everything just feels blech. Hoping to see less and less of those days.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert?: Frozen custard, Tiramisu
Weekly highlights? Going to a cool conference for work tomorrow which will be a nice change from the end of the school year craziness.
Rants/Raves/Questions? When will the morning sickness end!?
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? Peanut butter cookie dough cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Or really anything peanut butter and chocolate.
Weekly highlights? Hopefully finding out the sex and results of the blood work I had done last Monday

Weekly highlights? Not much..just currently reading up on how to get my dogs ready for baby.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm typically a stomach sleeper, so I've been trying to get in the habit of sleeping on my stomach. My back hurts sooo much from sleeping weird, and I can't use a heating pad.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert? I have so many, but right now Taco Bell has this orange dreamsicle slushee and it is amaaaaazing. I will be drinking this all summer, I'm sure of it.

Bubs is the size of a plum.
I have a wellness checkup today, other than that it's going to be a boring week.
I went 5 days without getting sick and couldn't get enough food. That sadly ended last night.
GTKY: I am a fan of any and all cheesecake, but especially the 'fluffy' variety. But also pineapple upside down from the factory.
