Every yeah since before DH and I were even engaged, we make ginger bread houses and watch The Polar Express. We did it this last Saturday, and our 4 year old absolutely loved it! Love seeing our traditions grow with our boys!

Rants/Raves: I had so many today that I'm all ranted out.
Questions: none
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? Opening one gift on Christmas Eve had always been special to me. It was made more so with DH proposing to me through the tradition. This year, we get to tell my family the first grandchild is on the way with it too!

GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? I really want to start a friend thing like a cookie swap or something. We aren't traveling this year, so not really doing any traditions with family. I want to start some for just us but DH is a Grinch so it's tough.

Rants/Raves: @quinniebear I couldn’t agree more, since the day I got my positive (at only 6 days past ovulation) time has DRAGGED
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? Watch the old Christmas movies I loved as a kid with my daughter. She watched Rudolph with me for the first time two days ago, she loved it but thought the middle was so sad. She has such a soft and open heart ❤️
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: 2 more weeks until my 1st appointment
How are you feeling?: Like i need to stop reading so many articles. This is my 1st pregnancy so reading about all of the things that can go wrong has me nervous. Then, reading everything thats about to happen to my nether-parts after baby gets here has me *honestly and selfishly* freaked out a bit for my poor va-jj.
Rants/Raves: Meh, not really. The boyfriend is spoiling me when i have bad days (which mainly consist of lots of indigestion & being exhausted - ditto to @cindler on no nausea yet but still keeping the fingers crossed). Boobs arent as sore as a couple weeks ago. Time is dragging ( @happymessmama17 & @quinniebear , i hear ya sisters!) and I'm impatient, but life is good.
Questions: *see above for how I'm feeling* Anyone have some good advice for a noob like me on life for my nether-parts post birthing a child?

Making fig cookies that came over from Sicily with my great gram. My boyfriends mom HATES that i won't share it with her, but its a family recipe!! 🤣
Baby is the size of a(n): peanut
Upcoming Appointments: FRIDAY and I feel like it’s never going to come!!! I’m so ready.
How are you feeling?: I’ve honestly never been so exhausted in my life. Work is so difficult. Nausea finally hit to accompany my insane aversions haha
Rants/Raves: I know it sounds like complaining, but I really am so grateful for the symptoms because I know they’re part of the human I’m creating.
Questions: how are you all dealing with the exhaustion? I took a four hour nap during a work day...
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? I love watching White Christmas and sitting by the tree
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: meet a new midwife next Tuesday!
How are you feeling?: really freakin barfy and exhausted
Rants/Raves: just tired of the nausea
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? Church on Christmas Eve
Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming Appointments: next appt is Dec. 12.
How are you feeling?: super nauseous, bloated, and so tired.
Rants/Raves: I'm really struggling with exhaustion lately and nothing seems to help. I'm so ready to be able to function again.
I'm also kind of in a pickle with my neighbor. I need to tell her I'm pregnant because I know it's going to be very obvious soon.
***TW***
She had a loss years ago and then was never able to conceive again so it's a sensitive topic. I had a loss in October and before it happened, H accidentally let it slip that I was pregnant and it was really awkward for a few weeks (completely understandable) then she found out about our loss and tbh her response kind of hurt so it's been awkward ever since.
**End TW **
Just trying to decided when and how to tell her again. Probably will just sent a text so she can deal with it however she needs to in the privacy of her house.

Definitely going to the Christmas tree farm and cutting down our own tree.

i have to do my two hour glucose test next week sometime and I’m putting off scheduling it.
You drink a glucose drink usually after fasting and you have to have blood drawn after every hour to test glucose levels which is why it takes so long.
@wineandcoffee good luck!! ❤️

I'm horrible to pull blood from and not a fan of needles, so the fewer times I get poked the better!
Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming Appointments: still waiting for my first US on the 26th. Very sad not to have pictures prior to announcing to family at christmas time
How are you feeling?: Nauseous, starving, all smells repulse me, constantly having to pee, and insomnia which is just exhausting
Rants/Raves: so ready for the 1st Tri to be over so I can tell people and pray I start feeling better!
Questions: none that I can think of off the top of my head
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends?
My DH family are huge Friends buffs so we do a friend's trivia for what we call "The Gunther" (friends equivalent to the Geller Cup... And yes it is a troll doll nailed to a 2x4). It gets pretty competitive
@Niesen27 We have the same Due Date! 7/12
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: 12/18
How are you feeling?: Like garbage. Nausea all day everyday and puking at least once which does nothing too alleviate the nausea. And so so so tired...
Rants/Raves: I’m super pissed at DH. He is SO BAD at putting the kids to bed. It usually takes 20-30m per kid so we each take one. The youngest, Monte, is the worst but I am better w him so I always take him. However the last few weeks have been super challenging bc I feel like sh*t. 2 or 3 times this week after I come downstairs from putting him to bed, DH is in our bed with our other son asleep. Then last night he asked if I could please put Monte to bed and I said sure but that doesn’t mean he can just go crawl in bed with our other son. And he screamed at me saying “he didn’t have time for this” bc it was a going to take 30m to put him to bed and he needed to get up early for work. So I told him this is his life and that is his son so he better figure out how to make time for us in his busy schedule. He texted me this morning apologizing but I haven’t responded. Still fuming.
Questions: anyone try the Unisom + Vitamin B6 combo for nausea? Does it work?
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday tradition you do with family or friends? I made Christmas Eve boxes for us that we take out every year and put PJs in to wear that night and into the morning and a small toy or book. I always get the boys matching pjs and teared up thinking from now on Ill need to get 3 matching sets!
I'm also announcing to just immediate family (parents siblings and one set of grandparents) on Christmas! I can't wait to finally get this huge secret off my chest! I don't get my US until after Christmas so I worry about announcing too early as well but if something was wrong I would need family support so I would want them to know anyways.
Not sure how reassuring it is but consider if something was off with your generic tests; who's support you would want? Whoever pops into your mind is who you should tell. Plus genetic testing isn't 100% accurate (false positives do happen) so on the very small possibility you get a positive it would require even further investigation which could push your announcement back further than you want. I say keep positive thoughts, stay hopeful, and start building the support group you want through your pregnancy!
I'm kidding.
