How are you feeling? Feeling good
Rants: My PIO injection sites are soooooo bad. It feels like there are tons of marbles under my skin and we're getting to the point where theres nowhere else to put the shot. Like, I just need to suck it up b/c it's going to hurt everyday for 6 more weeks.
Raves: We had such a good weekend... went DD's friend's bday party on Saturday then the Renaissance Festival on Saturday with friends. DD had so much fun at both
Questions: None here!
GTKY:What’s your favorite coffee order and favorite place to go? Maybe this should be a FFFC, but I don't really drink coffee. The handful of times per year that I get anything, it's pumpkin related. PSL for hot and a chai tea latte, iced with almond milk and 1 pump each chai and pumpkin spice for a cold drink...
That last one is courtesy of the macro barista on IG... (so it's not super horrible for you) follow him if you don't! He comes up with the best drink recipes that aren't a gazillion calories each but are still super delicious!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Definitely finding out. I'm a planner.
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea/Maine blueberry
Upcoming appointments: None right now which is KILLING me. I'm hoping to talk to the nurse tomorrow or Wednesday about seeing if any appointments opened up for next week. I got my first scan at 6 1/2 weeks last time, so I'm hoping for sooner rather than later.
How are you feeling? Mostly fine. Some of the nausea and sore boobs are finally kicking in.
Raves/Rants: I'm so glad I started taking my B6 and unisom early on. I'm feeling much better this time around.
Questions: None yet!
GTKY: **stolen from May 2020** What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go? I'm not a big coffee drinker either, so my go to is chai latte. I don't really have a particular place, although my work as a coffee shop, so that's nice.
@blaf322 i have no idea what going through that is like, but I feel bad for you! Hopefully you’re able to feel a bit at ease with the viability ultrasound this week!

How are you feeling?: Nauseous thru all last week, hoping there will be a turn/shift in hormones soon.

Questions: None
Fav Coffee/place: I love my 12 oz. skinny mocha ice rages from a local coffee stand about 2 miles from my house. I got over trying to actually get to the stand tho and just bought the mocha ice rage powder and now make it from home. Win-win!

Upcoming appointments: been getting blood draws and USs every week at my RE. We saw a flicker last Monday! Next Tuesday we’ll hopefully hear the heartbeat.
How are you feeling? Lots of nausea. More tired than usual too, boob tingles and extra smelling powers (though only for bad stuff!)
Raves/Rants: Today work was way too long and hard. Had to get there early after a tough nauseous/dizzy morning, and then stay late. Nearly told my boss since I know she’d go easy on my if she knew, but just toughed it out. TGIF!
Questions: Anyone have weird reactions to Unisom? It seemed like it was working for me this morning but then got super dizzy and almost passed out 😔
GTKY: **stolen from May 2020** What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go? I’ve been missing Philz since we left San Francisco. Usually just like a good black coffee- pour over or French press, but recently have been craving sweet milky iced because nausea.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team green. We found out with #1, # 2 was a surprise. If DH changes his mind though, I could be persuaded to find out. Just makes it easier for me to know what clothes to wash.
Upcoming appointments: I don’t have a doctor appt yet. I guess they’ll see me closer to 12 weeks. I do have a nurse intake appt scheduled for next week.
How are you feeling? I have a bad cold so that combined with a low level of all day nausea has been unpleasant.
Raves/Rants: 3rd time mom prob but I have a really bad cough and I keep peeing myself a little. It is awful. Gotta start working hard on the kegels 😒
GTKY: What’s your favourite coffee order and favourite place to go? I’m a sbux girl for life. I like an iced venti americano with light cream. I’ve been ordering that half caff.
