Baby is the size of a(n): naval orange, yellow canary
Upcoming appts: 9/9
How are you feeling?: good wish my stomach was out of the awkward faze and it was obvious I’m pregnant not a beer enthusiast
Rants/Raves: Raves: my baby girl finally put her butt in the air and uncrossed her legs so we could get a firm confirmation that’s I’m going to have a daughter very nervous knowing that though I am a tom boy all the way always have been and I just want to do right by her I want her to be girly but not afraid of getting muddy at the same time thank God SIL is a girly girl I’m going to need her help😊
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I dislike most modern music but other than that I’ll listen to just about anything mainly if it’s me turning it on I’ll put on 80’s/90’s alternative but normally I’m listening to books not music
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: FO, waiting (not so) patiently for next month!!
Baby is the size of a(n): maple leaf!
Upcoming appts: 9/16 for my 16 week appt
How are you feeling?: mostly better? *knocks on wood*
Rants/Raves: Rant-putting together a baby registry is stressful! I'm worried I'm putting all the wrong things haha Rave-i love not being exhausted 24/7!
Questions: hmmm...nope.
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I listen to a little bit of everything, except rap/hiphop. My husband has really expanded my music interests!
Upcoming appts: 9/10 for hb check and blood draw (spina bifida...)
How are you feeling?: pretty good. My bloating is getting much better. I don't feel pregnant at all. I have no bump that is visible through my clothes, no symptoms...I tell H I don't know if the baby is still alive because I don't feel anything. It sounds morbid but I have no other way to know what is going on at this point.
Rants/Raves: I stayed in bed until almost 1PM Sunday and Monday and I still managed to get 6K+ steps each day. I consider that the best of both worlds
Questions: I am going to announce to work this week or next. How is the big question. My direct supervisor works in my office. HR people (2) are based on the other side of the world and are here for 2 weeks. It would be a good time to announce since my direct boss and HR will all be here physically. Problem is, we have a ton of people coming from all over the states and the world who are also visiting since everyone will be in one spot for a short period of time. If I announce during lunch at a restaurant (pretty laid back lunches, nothing formal) I fear my boss might feel blindsided as maybe this is a conversation to have in private first? There will definitely be some people at our lunches that don't necessarily need to know. WWYD in this situation?
GTKY: What is your favorite type of music? I like a wide variety of musics but I really enjoy electronic music and rock/grunge.

@celticknotfire I feel you on the headaches I haven’t progressed to a migraine but have had a slight headache almost constantly for about two weeks not sure how to combat it:(
