Baby is the size of a(n): Hedgehog/Coconut/Water Bottle
Upcoming appointments: OB on 11/13
How are you feeling?: Good! Energy is back, I still get occasional headaches and nausea but I'm officially a new woman! It's also officially getting harder to get out of bed to pee in the middle of the night...
Raves/Rants: Had my AS last week and everything was normal, which was such a relief! I've also been feeling baby kicks all the time and catch myself just smiling away when I feel them... so my coworkers have to think I'm a lunatic I also got a mini vacation this past weekend and went to North Carolina for a few days, which was such a nice break from work! Rant wise, the baby's father and I got in a bit of an argument last week. But, he said he would FINALLY come to an appointment with me, so he'll be at the 11/13 appt.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? Black and white, this is one of the inspo photos:
Raves/Rants: I’m off work Friday and get to go help at DS’ fall festival at preschool. I’m excited!
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? I don’t really have a theme, per se. The walls are going to be a white-pink and I’ve got ruffle-y white curtains. Otherwise she’s getting DS’ old furniture and such. My mom is buying these for her wall 😍

How are you feeling?: Still taking zofran but my energy has been consistently better. Hard to bend over or roll over in bed. Overall pretty good at last!
Rants/Raves: I’ve been able to keep my weight the same the last couple weeks. I’m going to be fighting tooth and nail but I’m doing my best and I’m proud of myself.
GTKY: Um...the theme is “nursery” 😂 We don’t have one and I don’t think we’ll do a theme really. Comfortable, calm and simple is the goal.
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow for regular OB, Friday for repeat ultrasound and MFM consult
How are you feeling?: good!
Raves/Rants: Rants: gaining weight faster this time around Raves: DD got to feel baby move
Questions:
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? The walls are a dark greenish and we aren’t repainting. We bought the crib and dresser below and still have to figure out curtains. It’s a work in progress and that’s as much “theme” as we have.
Upcoming appointments: Thursday, normal midwife visit
How are you feeling? : OK. I had a chiropractor visit today so my sciatica will probably come back for a few days
Raves/Rants: Rave - I did a great job doing DD1's hair for picture day today and am very proud. I never was a hair and makeup person so being a girl mom is a learning experience! Rant - DD1 fell on her face yesterday and has a loose tooth. However the dentist she goes to is AMAZING and saw us right away and Rx a soft foods diet but besides that said she should be fine. PHEW!
Questions: n/a
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? Our nursery is like a teal/aqua blue with pink curtains and a bohemian vibe. The rug is a circle (small room) and white with dots that are pink, purple and blue, and the dresser is distressed grey with magenta drawers and cool Moroccan looking knobs. I haven;t been able to get my phone on the bump for like a months so can't share a picture but it's pretty.
@jvk2012 did your DD like feeling the baby move? I put my DD1's hand on my belly yesterday and she felt a kick and she pulled her arm away and was otherwise not impressed

How are you feeling? : very pregnant, but good
Raves/Rants: I was overweight when I got pregnant, so I’m happy to have only gained 4 lbs so far.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? No nursery for us. She’ll stay in our room until about 6 months. Then she will join her 5 year old sister in her room.
@leksiL, the look on her face at first was pure horror and I laughed and she pulled her hand away. Then we talked more about what baby was doing and she kept going back to try and feel it again.
Upcoming appointments: 10/30 for my 24w appointment with my OB.
How are you feeling? : pretty good!! FINALLY starting to feel baby wiggles on the daily. It's only about 2-3 times per day that I notice it. It's also a pretty faint sensation, but I'm just excited to feel SOMETHING!
Raves/Rants: Rant: there are just not enough hours in the day!! I spent about 6 hours this weekend scouring daycares in our area. Finally have a list of about 16 places to call to see if they even have openings, but haven't had the time to do it!! Been working 12 hr days this week. Plus I started a Master's program on Monday of which I'm supposed to devote 10 to 20 hours a week to. I've only put in about 4 hours in so far, so I've got a lot of reading/writing to do over the weekend. Arg!!
Questions: Any other Mamas out there who pursued advanced education with young kids? I think I might be in over my head.
GTKY: What is your nursery theme/color(s)? No. Clue. I honestly might give my SIL and/or MIL a budget and ask them to put together something for me. Their houses are beautifully decorated.
@malloryfrommn - I went to law school at night while working and there were a few mothers of young children there. They were definitely committed. It was definitely the toughest thing I've ever done so hats off to you! Just take it one day at a time.

@malloryfrommn not personally but I know those who do, including some single moms, and they rock it. They have to lessen the class load sometimes, but they get it done. It can’t be easy but You can do it!
