Upcoming appointments: AS 10/17 - and the pre-appt nerves have arrived.
How are you feeling?: My pelvis is KILLING me. Hoping to talk to the dr. about it, but I feel like my pelvis is grinding... it's extremely uncomfortable and affecting my walking style.
Raves/Rants: Loving the baby kicks!!
Questions:
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? All the Thanksgiving sides (stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberries, green beans, etc.)
How are you feeling? : Pretty good but didn’t sleep well last night. I’m ready for a nap. Or just bedtime.
Raves/Rants: Rave: I’m feeling lots of baby movement today! She’s rocking and rolling in there! Finally!
Questions: nope
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? All the sides - mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, corn, rolls, green beans. Yummmm now I’m hungry again

Upcoming appointments: 11/6 for OB 11/8 to get better heart pics.
How are you feeling? : Pretty good! I've been getting headaches and sleep is getting tougher.
Raves/Rants: We have Fall Break this week so I am excited for a 4 day weekend!
Questions:
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? I agree with the above, ALL the side dishes! I could skip the turkey and just have a meal of sides.
Baby is the size of a(n): as tall as a box of mac and cheese
Upcoming appointments: 10/30 with my OB
How are you feeling? : Pretty good! Impatiently waiting to feel movement. Still have the biggest sweet tooth! It's going to be a struggle to keep out of the Halloween candy between now and Halloween.
Raves/Rants: Rave: had a great weekend! My older sister lives in San Diego and came home for the weekend. She always stays with me, so it was nice to have sister bonding time. Rant: work is crazy. Too much on my plate! Also starting my first class next week for a Masters in Personal Finance.
Questions: none
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? I love making Christmas cookies/treats with my family! We get like 10 people together and each bring a recipe and the ingredients. We spend the afternoon making the treats, then divy up the goodies. Honestly, the time spent together is better than the end result.
Totally with everyone else about sides being the best part about Thanksgiving! I always dish up a bite or two of turkey, and load up on the sides.
Baby is the size of a(n): red pepper? that seems kind of small
Upcoming appointments: next week I have an OB visit, tomorrow I see chiro
How are you feeling? : I've been depressed lately but starting to come around. Very tired. Trying to focus on positive. Being pregnant sucks though.
Raves/Rants: Rave - I had yesterday off work and did some self-care, I used a foot mask and face mask. I got DD1 a little early from school to go to the playground.
Rant - why do older kids run around the toddler part (2-5 yo) of the playground? Yesterday a bunch of 9 yos where running around like crazy people and throwing a water bottle at each other. The first time it almost hit DD1 I said "hey stop throwing that water bottle there are little kids here". The second time I said "you almost hit my daughter, now it's my water bottle" and I threw it in the garbage. Seriously, they have a really cool large playground they can terrorize the older kids there!
Questions:
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? - I always look forward to mac & cheese. I'm not huge on turkey but will eat it. And my stepmom's rolls with butter, yum. and PIE.

@leksiL I hateeeee when big kids are playing near the little ones. Especially at the pool. Like why are you in the shallow end? Go play somewhere else!!! So annoying.

Baby is the size of a(n): coconut
Upcoming appointments: 10/24 for my diabetes test. Hoping I like the drink they give me like some of y’all have said!
How are you feeling? : Pretty good overall and starting to feel kicks which is so exciting but also soo weird!! I’m also fluctuating between feeling super full one second to feeling super starving the next. Ugh.
Raves/Rants: I’m finally making some progress on our registry which is a relief!
Questions: none
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday dish to make or eat? I love all the sides, especially the carb ones but my dad fries a turkey every year and it is to die for!
@malloryfrommn I love your cookie tradition! I may have to start that one up this year as an excuse to feed my sweet tooth
@leksiL that is so frustrating!! I’m glad you threw their bottle away!
@nhh11 - oh girl keep your original due date! You don't want to see that due date go by and start to get frustrated. Later dating is much less precise.

@leksiL ugh I hate that! I also hate when parents stand in or near the play area when all the kids are trying to play. Or worse, join in. Unless you have a toddler who needs some walking assistance, please back up so my kid and others can play!
@leksiL it’s funny, my doctor always had Valentine’s Day based on LMP but I’d been tracking my cycle and I knew I typically ovulated late so I thought that was a few days early and then my early ultrasounds dated me at 2/17. But the last 2 ultrasounds had me smack on track for v day so who knows! I know due dates are just estimates anyway so yea maybe I’ll stick with 2/17 so I feel better if 2/14 passes me by! 😊
