How are you feeling?: still sick and tired. im constantly hungry but nothing sounds appealing and sometimes have to force myself to eat to get rid of the queasiness.
Rants/Raves: We got back from italy late on friday night, on saturday we had dd's swimming lesson in the morning, then a christening in the afternoon which was 2 hours away & ended up just going to stay in my parents house on saturday night, which meant that we didnt get back home til 9pm last night. the house is a bombsite & i have no holiday washing done or suitcases unpacked and i have a hectic week in work with site visits and meetings etc so have no idea when i will get time to do anything!

Rants/Raves: After our US today, my husband said that he thought baby was cute already. Great to see the love instincts already kicking in!

Rants/Raves: Just so happy to be through the first 12 weeks. I've always seen that as a big milestone.

Rants/Raves: My company cancelled our short term disability with the previous carrier and is now offering a new one during open enrollment. The plan is better, but I wont be able to use it since it has pre-existing conditions limitations. I'm kinda really pissed since this messes up our financial situation for during maternity leave

Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow, I'll be able to hear the heartbeat finally. Sometimes I think there's nothing in there so I'm excited.
How are you feeling?: Overall well, no more nausea for the past few weeks, boobs are becoming less tender except for right when I wake up. My hormones though, I just have no tolerance for dumb shit now so I'm easily irritated and feistier.

Questions: none
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Christmas! I love everything about it and love decorating the house.
My skin has been awful all pregnancy but really bad now. It's deep pimples under the skin now. I usually don't wear makeup and now I feel like I have to, because I look like a Dalmatian.
