Baby is the size of a jelly bean, which perversely made me crave jelly beans...
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow, 7/16!! Looking forward to our ultrasound.
How are you feeling? Like total crud! I haven’t thrown up as much with this one as with my second, but it feels constantly imminent. No appetite, crazy food aversions, until about 6pm when I eat every available carb in my house.
Rants/Raves: @TennisLove30 same here!! I scheduled my 5 year old for half day camp and had a million summer activity ideas for her and my toddler, and all I want to do is sleep and/or puke. Total bummer. On the other hand, my 5 year old is being AMAZING about it and I keep thinking how different this sibling experience is going to be for her because she’s older than when her sister was born. Very excited to give her the news if the ultrasound goes well tomorrow.
Questions: none
GTKY: Ireland, UK, Norway, Iceland... too many good options!
@rikiteacup Mirroring what daffodil said they talk and go over a lot! I was actually there for WAY longer because after our hour long appointment i needed to get blood work and do the one hour glucose test.

Rants/Raves: Questions: has anyone heard of any bad side effects of being in a pool too much during pregnancy? My doctor recommended I take up swimming and my local rec center’s pool is so chlorinated I can smell it from the parking lot. I am a little concerned about submerging myself in chemicals for hours per week

How are you feeling?: TIRED and nauseous ALL the time no matter how often I eat.
Rants/Raves: My sense of smell is nuts. If I smell something and baby doesnt agree with it I puke. This is NOT what my first pregnancy was like so this is all new to me. And I would really like for that to stop. Very hard to explain to a toddler that the baby is making mommy sick but the baby isn't evil. LOL
Questions:
GTKY: If you I to leave your current country I would move to Bali. We traveled there back when I was barely pregnant with our first and I would LOVE to make it our home because the people, culture, food, everything were simply amazing.
