GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Re: *Sunday* ticker change 3/5
Upcoming appointments? End of the month
Symptoms? My boobs are sore about every day and I'm still exhausted
Cravings? Pizza!!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? DH got to come home for the weekend and he's been at his shop more than he's been home. Thanks guys.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a veterinarian so bad!!
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow, 3/6
Symptoms? Still not a fan of protein, food, anything smelly.
Cravings? Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches. But doing the healthier alternative by making strawberry and peanut butter protein shakes.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My grandma and family friends told me this week that I look great this pregnancy. I look skinnier/healthier. That's compliment bec my first pregnancy I got huge! This time around I've been mindful of my eating & working out daily.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? An aeronautical engineer or computer engineer and work for NASA! I ended up becoming an Environmental Engineer and work at a large medical device company as an Environmental, Healthy, Safety (EHS) Engineer. Watching the movie "Hidden Figures" the other week made me reminisce about wanting to be an aeronautical engineer and be some badass lady at NASA lol. That movie made me smile though. Wonderful women in STEM careers for the win!
Upcoming appointments? I have a blood draw on Tuesday as the second part of genetic testing. Everything so far has been low risk.
Symptoms? Just some uterus twinges here and there. My boobs don't feel as awful as they did the first trimester. I mostly just feel big, even though only me and my husband notice at this point. He says it looks like I'm just eatin' good.
Cravings? Baked goods! Blame it on the Great British Baking Show I've been watching on Netflix.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I managed to go out with friends until midnight on Friday night! I've been too exhausted to do anything past 10 the last few months so it was a miracle.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I have no idea. The fact that I'm in a career right now is a miracle, I'm so indecisive.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 14 weeks / Squirt Gun!
Upcoming appointments? Not until the end of the month.
Symptoms? Nausea, vomiting, headaches
Cravings? All the Carbs!
Rants/Raves/Questions? My in-laws suck. That's all.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An archeologist! I still think digging up ancient artifacts around the world would be an awesome job. I ended up working in the research field for 15 years before becoming a SAHM.

Me: 34 / DH: 33
Married: Nov 2011
TTC #1: Jan 2013, BFP Sept 2013, DD: June 2014
TTC #2: Aug 2016, BFP Nov 2016, DS: August 2017
15 weeks - eclair
Upcoming appointments?
Not until 3/24 although I'll go to the lab next week for the AFP test.
Symptoms?
I usually have trouble sleeping and then I'm tired as a result. My nausea is mostly gone except when I wake up in the middle of the night.
Cravings?
If I'm hungry at night, I reach for chips and/or chocolate. Otherwise, I don't really have any cravings.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
DS2's behavior has been pretty awful for the past several days. He has a cold, but I'm sure it's also a combination of being inside more due to the cold weather and not getting his energy out.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I knew I wanted to be a lawyer from a pretty young age. I liked to argue and didn't back down. I think a family member suggested that I should be a lawyer when I grew up and I took it and ran with it. The only other job that I ever thought of doing when I was younger was teaching.
Upcoming appointments? Thursday for a regular prenatal appt.
Symptoms? Not many - the constipation has been the worst. Changing my prenatal vitamin back to what I was using before really helped (body seems to agree better with capsules rather than the hard pill).
Cravings? Finally back to wanting veggies!! Fruit still, not as bad with the carbs.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Had a friend find out the sex of her baby yesterday - Boy instead of the girl that she really thought she was having, she was shocked. Literally was up half the night thinking 'what if it's a girl?' because I've been so sure that I'm having a boy and haven't given nearly as much thought/visualization to it. I had started out saying I prefer a girl, then felt like I was having a boy and got excited about that haha. Hearing the heartbeat - I dont care what sex/gender the baby is but I am definitely excited to find out.
GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be on the police force - I actually went to school for Forensic Science/Criminology but in the end switched to Sociology/Criminology and then got a Human Resources degree, where I am now. I just wanted to help people but I just didn't have the strenght to see people hurt or hurting others a good part of the time. I did some of my co-op with the police force/border control in the Windsor/Detroit area and it was rough some days. I actually love my job now so it all worked out in the end!
