2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Tired. Sore. Overburdened.
3. Rants/raves/questions? I just need this week to be over. I need a lazy don't do anything weekend.
4. Any appointment updates? A/S next Monday!
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one mean everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? I assume this is supposed to be meat? I'd probably say steak and leave it open as to type. I have no idea how I was a vegetarian for 7 years.... I could live on steak right now.
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Tired, stressed, like a baby baluga
3. Rants/raves/questions? I just want dh home.... I will even take zone cleaning. He is down in North Carolina doing Storm Cleanup etc, and I am glad he is helping people, but I need him home to help with kiddos!!!! oh and I miss him too
4. Any appointment updates? I have an ultrasound every visit. BIG ultrasound with fetal anatomy scan is next week, but I found out the gender today... an that dear little one has a fetal arrhythmia.... so back to the high risk doctors I go for a fetal echo... trying really hard not to read too much into it.. which leads to secondary rant... absolutely NO coffee for me any more... not a drop, or even half a cup.. AAAAAH!
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one mean everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? I thought meal vs meat... but I can go with meat... Steak.. definitely steak.
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Exhausted. Moody. Large.
3. Rants/raves/questions? Work has been absolutely INSANE. I’m transitioning to a new position and it’s like no one understands that I cannot do both jobs at the same time and remain a sane, well-adjusted employee. Also, my best work friend (who is also pregnant) has zero patience for our usual venting sessions and it’s hard not to have anyone to talk to about work-related frustrations. I’m a lawyer, so trying to talk to non-lawyers about these frustrations is hard, and cruel on my part. Ok. Pity party over!
4. Any appointment updates? AS tomorrow. I’m freaking out a little.
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one mean everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? Meat: turkey, hands down. Meal: pizza.
@kayjay44 and @brazilgirl85 I’m the polar opposite right now - you couldn’t force feed me a steak on threat of serious bodily harm. I only have eyes for poultry!
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? - Physically fine, as long as I take my meds. Mentally okay, nothing noteworthy is going on, good or bad.
3. Rants/raves/questions? - I’m loving the little kicks and flutters!
4. Any appointment updates? - AS Friday next week!
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one mean everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? - Meat: Chicken. Meal: Hmm... probably pasta? Endless variety!
DS born 2/18/2019 DD born 4/1/2023 Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Tired (always) and random heartburn is starting already. Ugh. Mentally pretty good. I don’t feel like it’s fullu sunken in that we are going to have another baby and two kids!
3. Rants/raves/questions? MIL took DD yesterday while I grocery shopped. It was heaven haha. I usually loathe grocery shopping too!
4. Any appointment updates? Had my OB check up on Monday. All is well. Signed my paperwork for TOLAC (trial of labor after c section) I’m excited and nervous to try for a vbac!
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one mean everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? Meat: chicken, so versatile. Meal: pizza, also versatile.
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Physically pretty good, just large and slow-feeling. I miss feeling in shape. Mentally, I'm much calmer after the good AS this morning, but I'm still a little nervous about glucose test and my blood pressure, which has always been in the higher range due to genetics.
3. Rants/raves/questions? Rant: I have to work this Saturday, and Sunday's going to be a busy day. I want a boring weekend for once so that I can get some of my own projects and fun things done!
4. Any appointment updates? AS was today and everything looks great!
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? Cacio e pepe with various roasted veggies.
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Physically just tired and kind of large. Mentally SO MUCH BETTER than the past couple of weeks now that our AS looked normal and the baby is negative for down's.
3. Rants/raves/questions? Storq maternity leggings - they are expensive but I love them. I just bought a second pair because it's too hard when my one pair is in the wash. Nothing else is as comfortable.
4. Any appointment updates? AS and amnio last Friday, have my regular OB appointment next week on 10/2
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? I'm not a huge meat fan just on its own, so I'll go with meal. Soup noodles! I love all varieties but beef noodle soup (with just broth, no meat because I'm a weirdo) is probably my fave. Pho comes in second.
2. How are you feeling physically? Mentally? Pretty good for both.
3. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing new here, but I’m getting more excited about the baby!
4. Any appointment updates? I had an impromptu appointment on Monday due to pain. Everything is fine, but I did pull the ligament attached to my uterus, so it’s pretty painful. The baby is kicking lots and has a good heartbeat.
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pasta!
@episcowitch I feel you on rape culture. I can’t even read the news right now.
@ChloandCoco That sounds really painful! How did you pull the ligament? Hope you get some relief soon.
AS went well! Baby girl looks good, but was really wiggly. We have to go back in 8 weeks for another scan to get more pictures of the heart, but what we did see Dr said was perfect. And I finally started feeling her move once I had the scan and could place her! You guys were right.
Physically, fat. Mentally, super impatient and grumpy. I’m a total pleasure to be around.
3. Rants/raves/questions?
DD is driving me insane. My sister warned me 3 was the worst age, she is right.
4. Any appointment updates?
Nope.
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be?
meal - this is tough, but probably tacos.
meat - how has no one said pork? Bacon, prosciutto, pork shoulder, pork loin, ham, bbq, ribs, carnitas, chicharrón, pork belly...probably the one type of meat I can’t live without.

2. How are you feeling
physically? Bloated
Mentally? Still worried. No discernible flutters
3. Rants/raves/questions?
Not a fan of humanity right now. Rape culture is going strong. Can't use social media without the possibility of reliving trauma.
4. Any appointment updates?
AS on October 2! Can't wait.
5. GTKY- If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Still dealing with the food aversion, sick at least once a day. Water is good.
