I’m having some slight gender disappointment. I think it’ll pass soon, especially since I’ve started planning out a Star Trek nursery, but I’m mourning the idea that I’ll never have a daughter. I have a great opportunity to raise two wonderful boys into kind and compassionate men, but there were a few things I was looking forward to teaching a daughter that aren’t necessary to a son. (Like the spiritual component of your menstrual cycle for one major one)
Any upcoming appointments?
Tomorrow I have a routine visit. Hopefully nothing comes out of it.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO?
My favorite book(s) as a kid was Battle for the Castle by Elizabeth Warren. I read it so many times the spine fell apart. I had snagged it at a scholastic book fair when I was in kindergarten and it took me a few months but I read the entire book that year.
I’m most looking forward to sharing chronicles of narnia and Harry Potter with my boys though. I love how immersive those two worlds are, and I love that they have strong leaders who fight for justice and what’s right for everyone.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I’m enjoying the three day weekend. I have a big presentation at work on Thursday and a very busy work week. Rant- DS impossible to wake up on school days. Today? up at 6. Rave- spent some time at the park with my bff today and our kids.
Any upcoming appointments?I go back 2/1.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO? I love to read! It’s so hard to pick just one. I am really looking forward to reading Harry Potter and any of the Roald Dahl books to my kids when they get older. I loved Matilda, the babysitter club series, and anything by Judy Blume.
@ivyvines6 that’s a great book! I have vivid memories of my 4th grade teacher reading it aloud to us after lunch ever day.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Doing okay, just dying waiting for my amnio results.
Any upcoming appointments? My next appt isn't until the 30th with the MFM.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO? I really liked Three Yellow Dogs and Too Many Books.

Feelin' fly ... I cringed typing that but felt compelled to regardless lol
Any upcoming appointments?
ummmm Feb 4, regular Dr. check-in. I had glucose early last week and haven't heard anything yet so I'm assuming no news is good news. I never had GD with my first either.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO?
ive already shared two with DS "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and " The Velveteen Rabbit". But that's a toddler/ under 6yo book for sure. Older kid books I'm looking forward to are: Anne of Green Gables series, Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley High, Goosebumps, Charlottes Web!!! Oh man... So many! I'm sure I'm missing tons

Nesting has set in- I forgot how amazing it feels to get shit done! I got the girls moved into one room and assembled their bunk bed almost entirely by myself. Next project is to sort and get rid of all their old clothes, then I’ll focus on baby boy’s nursery. There’s really not much to do there except put the side back on the crib, raise the mattress, and organize the baby stuff.
Any upcoming appointments? nope.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO?
Jack London Books, esp White Fang and C.S. Lewis. I can’t wait to share those and Harry Potter- my 5 year old is already a fan of the movies and we listen to the audiobooks in the car on long rides.
@onesmallcoconut I love Charlotte’s Web!
@MissusTexas nice work!

OB said I have SPD, and it's killing me. I don't know how I'm going to do 3.5 more months with a very active toddler and teaching.
Any upcoming appointments?
Not this week.
What was your favorite book as a kid? What stories are you looking forward to sharing with your LO?
I never read the Harry Potter books as a kid, but we have gotten the illustrated editions for DS and have been reading those. I loved Sweet Valley High and The Boxcar Children like @onesmallcoconut. My mom bought me a book called The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Story of Louis Pasteur as a kid and I got into that, too. I need to check out the Elizabeth Warren book @ivyvines6 !!
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I got a snoogle pillow and love it!
Any upcoming appointments? Not until Jan 30
