Baby is the size of a(n): tall as a kit Kat? How do they come up with these things...it goes from a bigger thing to a smaller.
Upcoming appts: NT scan in a couple of hours. I'm so excited and nervous. Glad H is coming with me!
How are you feeling?: Mostly better. The quease is still real some days. *Almost* puked in the grocery yesterday.
Rants/Raves: Rave: started putting together my Amazon and Target registries this weekend. Rant: still have to wait until this coming week to announce baby -_-
Questions: just some reassurance for the NT scan would be nice!
GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? It ending! Haha
How are you feeling?: good gas is my only complaint
Rants/Raves: Raves: so excited for Saturday it’ll be second trimester and I’ll get to find out:) I don’t want to rush this pregnancy but I’m ready for Saturday Rants: tired of everyone’s opinions already if they were just suggestions that wouldn’t be bad but the judgemental attitude if you don’t take everything they say like it’s law is annoying
GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? I was just going to say I don’t care for it since I’m down in Florida and it’s miserable but I do love the rain if I’m off work and can relax and just sit out on the porch and watch it:) @babyroma I love your response it made me laugh and totally agree
How are you feeling?: exhausted. Yesterday I slept from 11 to 8:30, napped from 11-12 and still was dragging.
Rants/Raves: Raves: DD1 will be 4 a few months and DD2 is newly 2. They went with me to my dating ultrasound and DD1 recognized that there was a baby on the ultrasound monitor and was instantly excited. DD2 has followed suit. They’ve both been talking to my belly saying things like, “Hello, baby. I love you.” It’s so sweet and I never got to experience it when I was pregnant with DD2 because they’re only 17 months apart and DD1 had no idea what was happening.
Rants: I’ve told a few close family members and friends now and they have literally all launched into how they hope it’s a boy. It is driving me nuts.
GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? Count me in as one of the summer haters. But if I had to pick something I would say... frozen margaritas 😂 But I guess for this summer I would have to say popsicles

How are you feeling?: pretty good. I have been really tired these last few days, don't know where it is coming from. I was useless all weekend long.
Rants/Raves: We have announced to a lot of people and we still need to announce to H's siblings. I can't wait because I need to ask my SILs some questions. According to MIL, none of them (5) had the NT scan. She had never heard about it before. I find it very unlikely but we shall see.

@rikiteacup, with DD in 2016 I was offered NIPT or the NT scan. I opted for NIPT so I didn't get an NT scan with her. This time my doctor's office does both.
How are you feeling?: a lot better overall. No nausea and energy is improved.
Rants/Raves: rave: repeat finally got an NT measurement this time! OB says measurement is good and my labs look good so waiting on the final math from the lab for my risk.
Told my family this weekend! I’m one of MANY girls but the oldest and only married (not that that matters) My mom was so speechless she just yelled “which one of you is pregnant?”
rant: still don’t know risks for sure. My OB has been great and reassuring that the numbers are good so the result should be low. Insurance was dicey bc I’m between two jobs. I think I would have just done NIPT and paid out of pocket if I knew how long this is taking
Questions: good resources for looking up nannies? Do I have to do that with as much lead time as daycare? My hours are weird and I haven’t ruled out daycare but most don’t fit my schedule.
GTKY: As summer is winding down, what is your favorite part of summer? Barbecue and pool parties. I would say margaritas in non pregnant times
