How are you feeling? Nausea is mayyyyybe starting to ease up? I don't trust anything at this point. Very tired and achy. Last time around I felt like a million bucks throughout the second trimester, so I'm hoping that'll kick in some time soon...

Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween costume that you've ever worn?
I love making costumes! I made an elaborate flamingo outfit in college and ended up winning a contest in Cosmo magazine. Last year I was Madeline Kahn’s Mrs. White from Clue and that was lots of fun 🔥

How are you feeling? This has been my easiest pregnancy yet. Round ligament pain and pain from muscle relaxing but other than that good.

Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween costume that you've ever worn?
Not sure a favorite. One year I wore one of my sweaters and did my makeup and hair like a lion. I felt really good. Was handing out candy.
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: team blue
Baby is the size of a(n): pomegranate
Upcoming Appointments: Monday Nov 4th for fetal echocardiogram
How are you feeling? Pretty awesome actually and feeling baby move a lot
Raves/Rants: my mother in law just found out from my husband that we had abnormal screening in the first trimester and now she "feels banished" because we didn't tell her sooner. Typical, it's always about her feelings. Hence why I didn't include you sooner!
Questions: ...
GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween costume that you've ever worn? Back when I was a 4 my mom hand sewed a Dorothy costume from the Wizard of Oz and red fluttered my shoes. She was up until 2am finishing my perfect costume. I wore it the next day to daycare and ruined the shoes. She's still a little bitter but I love her for all the hard work and it was such an awesome costume. I always buy my kids costumes so they're never as great as homemade but I just don't sew.
Team Finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out! Getting so excited
Baby is the size of a(n): Pickle!
Upcoming Appointments: Had a prenantal this week! All was good. I got my flu shot and blood work done for the quad screen. I did not do the NIPT testing.
How are you feeling? So much better overall! Most days I wouldn’t know I was pregnant. Just random pains here and there and some back pain. Also by the end of the day I’m super bloated and my belly has grown significantly.
Raves/Rants: I’m in that super awkward stage where it just looks like I’ve gained a few pounds in my stomach. I still haven’t told many people at work and I’m quite thin so I’m wondering when people will start speculating. 😂

Hmm I don’t know!! I’m not very creative when it comes to costumes.
