Upcoming Appointments: AS 10/14! So stinking close
How are you feeling? Minimal symptoms. Occasional want to gag but overall great!
Raves/Rants: Rave, decided I'm going to make some gender reveal cake pops for my coworkers next week! Rant- still kind of sad I havent really felt any discernable movement.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I probably would have kept up my diet and exercise routine. I had lost 60lbs before I met MH and fell off the track and gained it all back.
Upcoming Appointments: 10/8 for midwife 10/11 for AS
How are you feeling? Good but I feel like sleep is a lost cause
Raves/Rants: raves I’m loving my belly rounding out I think I’ll join in on hdbd this week😉 rants sleep has been rough for a couple of weeks and now that it’s october SO is insisting on scary movies which is just making it that much harder to fall back asleep when I’m waking up every 2/3 hours
Questions: anyone with sleep problems have a good hack for sleeping through the night
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? Sticking with healthy eating and daily yoga I have great intentions but after a week or two it just kind of fizzles out😐
How are you feeling? Pretty good other than some aches and pains brought on by the weather change.
Raves/Rants: Rant- I have yet to feel a single flutter. Rave- I am loving my Old Navy maternity clothes because they are so comfortable!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I would go straight into nursing school from college instead of waiting so long. I have a lot of student loans towards a degree that I didn't even finish because it wasn't what I wanted.

IUI (Dec '18) MMC

How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise great. I am battling a bad cold. It is definitely the worst cold I've ever had: really sore throat, pink eye in both eyes, gunk in my nose and now a cough. My voice is also gone. It's been a week.
Raves/Rants: snow is in the forecast for this weekend. It is too early! I need more fall weather.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I would pursue a nursing degree instead of a business degree. People who knew jack about nursing school advised me against it. I graduated college 14 years ago and I still think about it.

Upcoming Appointments: AS was this morning. All good!
How are you feeling? I'm still super tired, but I think that's more from being a shitty sleeper and having to get up at 6am everyday for DD's school.
Raves/Rants: I'm starting to feel him move on a daily basis! I love it!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I would have never left college. I made the choice to leave and while it seemed like the right thing to do at the time, I wish I had made a different choice.

How are you feeling? Overall good. I keep getting sick in the am bc of sinus drainage though
Raves/Rants: I think I've felt a flutter or two, but haven't felt anything in past week. (FTM)
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I met my now husband in high school, and I would've attempted to hook up with him a lot sooner than I did (jr yr of college).
Upcoming Appointments: AS with MFM on Thursday. Fingers crossed they have some answers for why I was bleeding and that I can come off bedrest. 🤞🏻
How are you feeling? Ok. My appetite is still weird. But at least I’m not nauseous 24/7 anymore.
Raves/Rants: bedrest is frustrating but you do what you have to do 🤷🏼♀️
Questions: none
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? Nothing, really. I like where I am now and if I changed something that might not be true.
Upcoming Appointments: AS was today and baby looks healthy!!
How are you feeling? I’m exhausted
Raves/Rants: I’ve been sick with some illness or another this entire pregnancy and I’m over it.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I wouldn’t have shut everyone out after my first baby was born. Being a SAHM is lonely enough without cutting all your friends off.
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan on the 15th and 20w OB on the 18th
How are you feeling? Overall ok, last week I was miserably full of air.
Raves/Rants: I let my one employee go at work and am trying to hire someone to replace them and capable of covering my maternity leave. I am feeling the pressure to finish getting settled in our house (we moved in mid-July). The babies room is finally cleared out and ready to be made into a nursery. I am having trouble keeping up with everything, including here!
Questions: none as of right now!
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? I agree with those that have said they would change nothing for it would alter where I am today.
Upcoming Appointments: 11/4 but hopefully the AS soon. Still haven’t gotten a phone call about that!
How are you feeling? Fairly good. Pelvic pain and lower back pain just started this week. Hopefully it doesn’t get much worse!
Raves/Rants: Rave to being half way there! I can’t believe it!!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go back in time and change one decision about your life, what would it be? Stay in my hometown and try to get a teaching job there. We moved provinces to get a job, which I’m so grateful for, but we want to move back but it is so hard to leave 2 full time jobs for what if jobs 😔 Maybe one day! It just sucks being 2800Kms from all family!
