How are you feeling?: Hoping I'm seeing the light at the end of the MS tunnel!
Rants/Raves: Rant- I wish I didn't wait so long to try preggie pop drops, they have been seeming to help MS tremendously! Rave- PREGGIE POP DROPS! Also, when I announce to my work team about baby, one of the girls said she had to make a baby hat. She just gave it to me this morning!
Questions: None that I can think of today!
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? The Office, Forensic Files, Masterchef, Kids Baking Championship (the last 2 slowly since I'm on the latest seasons and have to wait for the new ones to be posted!)
Upcoming appts: NT scan and NIPT tomorrow! I can't wait.
How are you feeling?: Good. I think the nausea is gone but the bloating is insane. All I had yesterday for breakfast was an apple and my stomach was ginormous. I seriously looked 9 months pregnant. I took 2 Gas-X maximum strength and it didn't do anything. The only thing that helps is a glass of diet Pepsi/Coke. After burping a few times, I look normal again.
Rants/Raves: I was at a wedding on Saturday and my MIL was so effing annoying. It was a child-free wedding. She spent the whole night making a mental spreadsheet about whose kids were there. She was pissed that her grandchildren weren't invited (oldest is 6, youngest, excluding babies, is 2). Now, let me clarify that there were no kids at this wedding but she was stuck on the meaning of the word children. Why were cousin Jane's children invited???!!! Maybe because they are 23 and 25 and friends with the groom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Questions:
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Casa de Papel (Money Heist) season 3 on Netflix. I don't have time for a lot of TV these days.

@babyroma I am glad the Preggie Drops help. They didn't do anything for me. And that hat is so adorable. Is it a Spartan/Roman helmet?

How are you feeling?: Still super nauseated and bloated all day long
Rants/Raves: I was able to verify that there in fact is a baby in my womb and it is not a uterine tumor! I was measuring exactly on track and baby was moving around like crazy. My girls were there and found out about the baby when they saw it on the ultrasound. My oldest is super excited... my youngest appears to be excited but I think she is just parroting big sister.
Questions: heart rate was 175 bpm and everything I can find online gives a range of 140-160 at this point. Anyone else have a baby with a higher heart rate?
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? The final season of Orange is The New Black
@doodleoodle My ultrasound tech told me that normal fetal heart rate can range anywhere from 120 to 180 bpm depending on a number of things, from if the baby is sleeping or super active, if you had caffeine recently, how active you are, etc. If they aren't worried about it then it is fine. Hope that helps ease your mind. 😊
