    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: green

    Baby is the size of a(n): grapefruit

    Upcoming Appointments: January 8 for a repeat anatomy scan and a prenatal check up. 

    How are you feeling? Same old! Exhausted, backaches... 

    Raves/Rants: finished my last real class of my masters degree last week! Yay! Now on to my practicum portion from January to March, then walking in May! I can’t wait for my baby to watch me walk to get my masters degree! 
    In other news, when is it ever ok to walk up to a pregnant woman and just touch her belly? Seriously! I love that I’m showing that much, but stop. I love my personal space. 

    Questions: nope. 

    GTKY- what is the best Christmas or other holiday (or birthday) gift you ever received? Our first year together, MH got me something that still sticks with me. I’m a huge Michigan football fan, and 5 years ago my moving truck was broken into. My favorite Michigan jersey was taken out of it along with other things. But that year we met, and he got me a new Michigan jersey for Christmas that year. It was honestly the most thoughtful gift he has ever given me. 

    @kathryn0903 I love my kitchen aide mixer!

    Upcoming appointments: 12/31. Repeat anatomy scan and growth check, them OB check-in. 

    How are you feeling? So tired. Cannot function much of the time. Back pain, hip pain, and lightning crotch are common. 

    Raves/Rants: I have a meeting I have to go to at church tonight. Wondering if/how I’m going to stay awake, but at least it includes pizza. 

    Questions: nope. 

    GTKY- what is the best Christmas or other holiday (or birthday) gift you ever received? It was a wedding/Christmas gift, but the guy DH bought it from sucked, so it was basically a Valentine’s gift (package arrived in Feb but ordered in Nov). DH got me a limited release Disney Princess wedding cake snow globe that he tracked down on eBay. It has one couple dancing inside the snow globe and four others around the globe on layers of cake. They dance to “So this is love” from Cinderella. DH got it for me because he knew that I collected snow globes  as a kid, but that they all got destroyed in my parents’ attic over the years and because I love Disney. We got married about a week before Christmas, so it was supposed to be for both. 

    @kathryn0903 Enjoy the break from the end of semester craziness. 

    @ejoseph16 I will argue that it’s never okay to touch a pregnant woman’s belly without permission. That is one of my least favorite things about pregnancy. People seem to think your belly is public property. It is ridiculous. But, I generally don’t like being touched, so I’m probably extra sensitive.

  • @mercury94 ugh I HATE being touched! I have a student with autism that is obsessed with me being pregnant. He asks for permission. He told baby merry Christmas today and that he loves baby. It was adorable, and I 100% pregnant cried! Anyways, random, but when is your wedding anniversary? We are celebrating our 3 year tomorrow!

    Raves/Rants:

    Questions: any other heartburn remedies people rely on? I am on Pepcid AC 2x a day, try to take apple cider vinegar before dinner and a good supply of tums...

    GTKY- what is the best Christmas or other holiday (or birthday) gift you ever received?

    DH and I were dating about 4 months and he gave me this beautiful necklace with a star outline of mini diamonds and a sapphire flower inside the star. I’ve worn it practically every day, wore it at our wedding etc...  
    *TW* Our firstborn was stillborn in September 2018 and was named Stella. We realized that this necklace was both her birthstone and the shape of her name, as Stella means “star”.  This was a total coincidence.

    Questions: None

    GTKY- what is the best Christmas or other holiday (or birthday) gift you ever received? I'm named after my Great Great Aunt who was never married or had children and passed away right after I was born. Last year my Mom/Grandmother/Uncle went through some of her keepsakes that they had been saving and gave them to me- her vintage watch, wallet and a few other special items. It was so cool!
  • @ejoseph16 It's never okay for anyone to touch a pregnant woman's belly without permission! I hate that people still do it.

    @mandarenee898 Nothing is working for me and I was told to only take Tums since Zantac was pulled. Heart burn and acid reflux are really bad this time around, I may see if my OB can prescribe something stronger.


  • @doraleigh35 I know! I’ve started sleeping with a pillow under my ribs and two pillows under my head to be at the incline!
  • @mandarenee898 and it' so random. I could eat spicy foods all day long and be fine, as soon as I eat something with butter or peanut butter I'm done!
