Initial midwife appointment on Thursday to talk about the pregnancy, genetic testing options, etc.
I’m feeling nauseous but it might be a smidge better than last week, at least at this moment. Last time weeks 6-7 were my worst so I’m awaiting a little relief soon.
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling ok super nauseas at night. I have started sleeping elevated with two pillows and it’s helped a lot. Also I have the worst taste in my mouth that won’t go away, lemons are helping and anything very sour.
Rants/Raves: just a rant, I’ve been waiting daily for a call from the midwives group to see if I’m accepted to their practice. I go to double check my missed calls last night and see now that they called me on the 13th! I live in the country so I noticed when they made the call I was already home and I get no signal there so I missed it. Super frustrated I didn’t notice till now but I’ll try calling in today and hopefully they still have a spot for me !
Questions: not much
GTKY: If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hmm I think Risotto di Sipa, it’s a black risotto with squid ink it’s delicious, I would probably get sick of that eventually though ahha
Lol @leprechaun lady egg sandwiches are not my favorite meal, and would not be my “last meal,” but I have them for breakfast most days and I think it’s the meal I’d be least likely to get super sick of. Favorite meal would be mushroom pasta (Gordon Ramsey recipe, made by me).
@Xstatic3333, glad your nausea is better @c1kc1kpol1cn1k, I think we should be friends...one of my fave dishes is my husband's squid ink pasta with salmon and cream sauce...and I'm going to make him make it for us soon (once he's ready to "cheat" a bit of his Keto/IF diet! @leprechaunlady, I feel the same way about my frequent trips to PEE at work! Really trying to keep this news under wraps through the summer
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Jan 5/8+2
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: Today, right after work! First visit, so the usual labs and initial US
How are you feeling?: Fine. Have to pee A LOT
Rants/Raves: Finally had a real 2-day weekend where I was completely off, so it was nice to have a little bit of R&R
Questions: Nothing.
GTKY: If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Cheese, cheese, cheese...anything with cheese. Pasta, eggs, sandwiches, you name it
How are you feeling?: Physically not bad, some minor cramping, sore boobs! Mentally - anxious. I cannot wait for the US, I need some tangible proof that this is real.
Rants/Raves: Keeping it a secret is so difficult! I'm excited to want to share with everyone, but I also don't want anyone to know too early.
Questions: anyone else having crazy pregnancy dreams?!
GTKY: If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Traditional Thanksgiving dinner! Extra stuffing and gravy.
@michellleess good idea on the thanksgiving dinner !
@gabadoo the pasta version sounds so good!
Is anyone else here showing? I’m super bloated and already in maternity jeans.
Any other moms here on their 4th baby? I'm 8 weeks and feel like I'm ALREADY starting a bump. It doesn't feel like the bloat from past experiences. LOL HELP!
Upcoming Appointments: next prenatal scheduled for 7/9
How are you feeling?: Exhausted. My sickness seems to have flip-flopped. Where I used to get nauseous in the morning I'm now getting it more in the evening.
Rants/Raves: biggest rant. My old man boss is making me work with another pregnant teacher this summer, and she has found out there is something wrong with her baby. This crap is going to be super awkward...
Questions:
GTKY: If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? PIZZA!!!
Feed me pizza and tacos, and I'll be a happy girl! Lol

Rants/Raves: I look so bloated and my nipples look so awful!
Questions: none today
GTKY: If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Birthday cake! But really, anchovy pizza. Mmmm pizza.
