How are you feeling?: i was really hopeful i was over the worst as i felt relatively ok on friday and saturday and didnt throw up at all. However, yesterday evening, i was right back to puking and today i feel like absolute shit, queasy & have a really bad headache.
Rants/Raves: when we were on holidays a few weeks ago, dd was sleeping in the room with us & since weve come back she absolutely refuses to go to sleep unless myself or my husband lay on the sofa in her room until she falls asleep. i dont know if its since she was in the room with us on holidays or she is unsettled about the new babies but this cant go on long term but i dont know how we fix it!
Questions: nothing this week

Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow is my 12 week ultrasound and dr appointment. I can't wait!
How are you feeling?: Starting to feel better. Still tired and feel like I could use a nap midday but if I take one it usually makes me feel worse. So I'm soldiering on and trying to make it through. The nausea has seemed to subsided. Hopefully it stays that way!

GTKY: What is your favourite family recipe? Please share if you can. We don't really have one. My husband makes a good shrimp sauce with pasta but the recipe isn't written down.
@breweber2010 great that you guys had a nice date night to yourselves!
Looks like all of us have made it through the worst of nausea!
@agrhicks @foodislife @knottie80d7e765ffbfb116 hope your appointments went well!
& depending on what the twins end up being, I may have A LOT of girl stuff to get rid of! Lol
I really am so excited for you! 💖
i paid to go privately to find out the day I turned 16weeks with dd so I am not the person that could not find out! Defs will be finding out the minute they will tell me!
especially since there are 2 I feel like knowing will settle me a bit & allow me to be organised.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Will find out, but not for a while, unless my friend can sneak me in to find out early
Baby is the size of a(n): Plum, at least that is what I think I remember reading.
Upcoming Appointments: Tuesday NT scan and Dr appointment on Wednesday
How are you feeling?: Okay. I have had some red/brown mucus/spotting. I have been assured it is normal and good that it is brown, but still scary. I wish I had a scan this week to make sure LO was doing okay.
Rants/Raves: Got a new job that I am starting soon. I am working with old co workers and I am super excited and I know I will be in good hands when I am able to get my massages. I also FINALLY made it to the chiropractor where I was told my hips were "F"ed up. Questions: Still none.

Chorizo stuffed bacon wrapped dates are my go-to to bring to parties. Very easy and very tasty.
Preheat oven to 400
Line a cookie sheet with foil
1 lb chorizo
2 packages bacon — just regular, not thick cut. Halve them cross-wise.
a bunch of pitted medjool dates (amt you get depends on size. I like the bigger dates for this recipe)
Just stuff the dates with chorizo, wrap them in half a strip of bacon, and put a toothpick in to secure.
Cook for 15-20 min at 400 degrees on cookie sheet. Flip them halfway through.
Enjoy!
@EmilyE13 awesome recipe I will try it out at a party soon
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out at 20 week ultrasound which we just scheduled for the day before our first wedding anniversary!
Baby is the size of a(n): peach
Upcoming Appointments: just had one on 7/5 so roughly 4 weeks from then
How are you feeling?: Physically better! Emotionally/mentally starting to get overwhelmed. We've now shared the news with everyone we plan to before posting on social media (including work) and the amount of stuff to do is hitting me now that it's "out"
Rants/Raves: My normal clothes are uncomfortable and I'm still too small for maternity clothes!! Thankfully it's summer in MN finally and I've just been living in maxi dresses. Also currently trying to convince my overly frugal husband that we should take an anniversary/babymoon trip over labor day weekend (even just up north a few hours).
Questions: Nothing specific at the moment but this is my first pregnancy so I think of 9000 questions a day
