    What's going on this week? They are the same size as a hard boiled egg

    How far along are you? 12 weeks 1 day (this still
    blows mind)

    Upcoming appointments? July 23rd

    Cravings/Symptoms? So.flippin.tired. I thought heartburn only came around when I was
    hungry. Last night was not the case. I’ve been holding off on taking daily Zantac but it looks like I’ll be starting that soon. I’ve also started enjoy
    aome lightening (lightning?🤔) crotch. I forget how fun that is. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? I ordered an instantpot on a good deal the other day and it got delivered yesterday. Now I need to find all the recipes! Also looking forward to going to the water park tomorrow and just sitting in the water. I’m tired of being hot, although happy it’s not 15 degrees. Can’t make me happy, I swear 🤣. 

    Questions? Nope

    @kbrown2385 - I had a few shoots of lightning crotch a few weeks ago, but nothing since. So maybe it'll hold off for awhile. Have fun with your instapot!! 

    What's going on this week? Baby is as tall as a tennis ball

    How far along are you? 12w 5d

    Upcoming appointments? August 5th

    Cravings/Symptoms? nausea in the evening, fatigue, and dizziness

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? I think I had a case of "too many blood vessels, not enough blood" this morning. I started feeling dizzy and hot and when I didn't sit down soon enough, I starting seeing spots. Didn't pass out though! I'm extremely tired now that I'm sitting at my desk
    Also, DD is starting the terrible 2s early. She had several screaming tantrums this morning over tiny things. I'm trying to be patient, but it's so hard when I'm not feeling great.

    Questions? People won't stare if I lay on the floor of my office, will they? Totally normal for a pregnant woman, right?

    @kbrown2385 I’m obsessed with my InstantPot! I found out you can also use it to sanitize bottles. I never tried so I don’t remember how exactly, but it’s an option! 

    @marebear15 sorry your DD seems to be in the same boat as my DS. We had multiple throw myself to the ground and scream until I’m red in the face fits yesterday. And I’m too tired to fight him. Also. I’m team go ahead and lay on the floor. You earned it and people can get over it 

    What's going on this week? Baby is the size of a macaroon 

    How far along are you? 12 weeks

    Upcoming appointments? Not until August

    Cravings/Symptoms? Still tired. Still dealing with nausea at night. No real cravings though. I think I can feel my uterus? There’s a harder spot on my stomach and I think that’s it. 

    Rants/Raves/Randoms? As I said above, DS is wearing on my last nerve. This terrible twos phase is worse because the kid is huge. He’s already close to 35 lbs so picking him up when he’s having a fit or to get him away from something he shouldn’t have is exhausting. Rave: I made pot roast for dinner last night and it was so good 

    Questions? Nope

    @MrsJessS maybe this a uo but I don’t sanitize bottles 😬🤷🏻‍♀️. If you have any places to find good recipes or just recipes in general, feel free to share! Good luck with the terrible twos. I’ve heard if they are bad at two they will be better at 4. Ds was good at two so we are really in it her at 4. 

    @marebear15 hope you’re feeling ok. You should totally lay down in your office 🤣. Sorry about dd. The tantrums are the worst!

    @kbrown2385 I never sanitized ours either...and I thought I was in the minority hahaha. That gives me so much hope for 4. Because he’s giving me a run for my money. 
    This Mac and Cheese is one of my all time fav things I’ve made in the instantpot! https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/instant-pot-mac-and-cheese/ I usually find recipes on Pinterest

    @MrsJessS - It doesn't help that DD is in some sort of sleep regression, again. She's been taking 30-45 minutes to actually go to sleep after I put her to bed, and then she's been waking up nearly an hour early. 
    She's also been talking so much more! So I know it's all a stage, but man is it hard!

    @kbrown2385 - Also a non-sanitizer here. It takes enough work to wash all the bottles, much less steam them. I just wash them in hot soapy water every evening. Ugh, I'm now remembering the hassle of washing all the bottles and pump stuff every evening, and packing it up every morning. How did I forget it was so much work?

    *lurking*

    hiiiiii. I miss you guys! 

    @kbrown2385 I’m still in shock for you guys. 😳

    @marebear15 Do you still have your old pump from DD? I’m planning on getting the same exact one and leaving the old one at home and new one at work so I don’t have to lug the pump back and forth when I got back to work. It’s just the pump, but every little bit counts? Lol. 

    Also, so not looking forward to all the bottle washing. I for sure will be utilizing the dishwasher this time. Are you guys getting new bottles, or hopefully just using the old ones (and new nipples)? I’m conflicted.

    @lillywonderland - Yes, I still have the same one and it's still going strong. I have a Spectra S1 (battery pack!) I'm definitely buying all new pump stuff, but I have no idea about the bottles. New ones are so pricey!

    @marebear15 I have a bare bones registry (towels, washcloths, swaddles and the like...) and it’s still like $300 total for everything...Not to mention that we (still) need to get DS’s big boy furniture. It’s so crazy!!! I thought second kid = cheap. LOLOLOLOLOL.

    @marebear15 we’ve started learning a lot of new words too. His sleep had been all over the place. I get it that this is a good thing, but man I’m tired haha

    @lillywonderland we are using all the same bottles and just buying new nipples. Half our bottles are still practically brand new because MH was home with DS during the day and preferred a couple over the rest so he just washed those ones a lot

    @lillywonderland I’m still in shock too 😬. We aren’t getting new bottles, only new nipples. We used playtex drop ins last time so I have to get the liners too. Washing was minimal and we def used the dishwasher as much as possible. 

    @MrsJessS I hope for your sake 4 is a breeze. We are like a week and half into it and he tests me every day.
