5. GTKY: What is the best and worst thing about your job?
Re: Monday Ticker Change Week of 10/16
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 12 weeks today. Baby is the size of a plum!
2. How are you feeling? the same. Still nauseous and tired. I’m going to tell work today and I think we are going to publicly announce this week.
3. Any appointments coming up? My NT scan is on Thursday.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rant- looks like MIL will be getting under my skin this pregnancy as well. She feels the need to comment/insert her opinion about everything and it’s annoying. Apparently she was complaining to BIL about my food/drink choices this weekend and followed UO her complaints with “but it’s none of my business” damn right, it’s not!
Rave- We saw Hamilton this weekend and it was everything I wanted it to be. I laughed, I cried, and I can’t wait to see it again someday.
5. GTKY: What is the best and worst thing about your job? The best thing is helping new teachers through the hardest year of their job and watching them grow into confident, talented educators. The worst thing is working with someone who thinks they are perfect and isn’t interested in receiving feedback or growing. That’s when I want to go back to working with my students because adults are so much harder.
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 11 weeks. Size of a fig.
2. How are you feeling? Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had (all day in bed). Today is okay so far. My nausea is pretty much gone, but I still have strong food aversions/don't really want to eat anything.
3. Any appointments coming up? NT scan next Monday. Hope it goes okay and I'm very excited to see the little one again. I hope she/he is kicking around again.
4. Rants, raves, questions? Mini rant: I weighed myself this morning and I lost another 3-4 lbs. I had lost 3 lbs early on when I was extremely nauseous and couldn't eat, but I figured I'd be holding strong at that weight since now I can eat again. I'm slightly concerned, but I know you aren't supposed to gain much first tri anyway (1 - 5 lbs).
And one last mini rant about how I am an effing moron: I changed prenatal vitamins (I'm not sure when) and apparently I was supposed to be taking 3 pills a day. I have been taking 1 a day up until yesterday. I really hope the baby is okay. I feel like such an idiot for not reading the packaging and just assuming the dosage was the same as my last prenatal.
5. GTKY: What is the best and worst thing about your job? I recently quit my job (April), so right now the worst thing about my day is that I hardly see people except at my gym class.
But the reason I left my job was because my commute was 3.5+ hours roundtrip each day and I usually only had about 1-2 hours of work total, but my boss' boss required us to be physically in the office for 9 hours. I really liked my direct boss and my coworkers and the job was pretty easy (best parts), but I couldn't handle the commute any more. And it made no sense that I had to go in the office every day when I could easily work from home and have a better quality of life. I tried to negotiate this and when that failed, my husband and I decided it was time for me to go. (Leaving was a debacle in itself but that is a story for another day ha.)
Married: 8/22/15

I keep missing these!! Whoops
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks, size of a lime!
2. How are you feeling?
Like crap. Still nauseous. I've found that getting too exhausted, especially at work, brings it on. And the anxiety..... it's so bad.
3. Any appointments coming up?
My next US is in November.

OMG. This. Same here. Mine has to go behind my back to tell my fiancé that she doesn't like my name choices. I cannot stand to be within 10 feet of the woman.
5. GTKY: What is the best and worst thing about your job?
Best thing is feeling like I've made a difference in someone's life that day or made them feel cared for. Worst thing is pretty much everything else.... 12 hour work days, stress, working holidays, and did I say STRESS? Ugh.
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 10 weeks yesterday
2. How are you feeling? Still kind of shit. And kind of bitter about it because I was ok by now with my other pregnancies. I've done enough dr. Googling to know this likely means nothing but damn it is hard not to hypothesize about what is different! Also having a lot of "why me?!?" feelings which is extra dumb because I know lots of people are way sicker for way longer, but logic is tough right now...
3. Any appointments coming up? Yes, first real midwife appt on Monday. She will refer me for the NT scan, so hopefully that soon after!
4. Rants, raves, questions? Tried to use my home Doppler last night. Dumb since I have no training and the midwives won't even look for it this early, so why would I think I could find it? And even though I know there most likely is a heartbeat to find, but I just didn't find it, it's hard not to go down a dark path.u
5. GTKY: What is the best and worst thing about your job? I am a SAHM right now, so I think this is pretty standard. I love the flexibility and not missing anything. The worst part is having no separation of work and life and missing adult interaction.
