Baby is the size of a(n): Roborovski hamster
Upcoming appointments: US and OB intake tomorrow!
How are you feeling? pretty good today, and as a whole, really. Still not great. But not ready to puke at all times, so I'll take it!
Raves/Rants: this is neither of those things... just sharing. DH and I haven't really talked about names much, except that I let him know I like Hudson. I found out, this weekend, that Grayson is his front runner. Grayson used to be my #1 boy name... but now I'm loving Hudson more. So, I won't be disappointed if we end up with Grayson, but I'm definitely going to try to convince him to go with Hudson instead.
Questions: none
GTKY: Apart from baby's arrival, what are you looking forward to in 2020? .... hmmm... that's a toughy right now! I haven't put much thought into it and we don't/won't have any trips planned so I can save up allll the PTO.
I guess one thing I'm already looking forward to is warm weather toddler hangs. We're good friends with the parents of most of DD's daycare friends and we always have lots of fun get together/play dates when the weather is warm. One family we're super close with lives in the neighborhood so it's lots of fun to just pop over to each other's homes after work and let the kids play/have a few drinks (not me this year, obviously). So, I'm excited for that!

Baby is the size of a(n): Apparently baby can fit on a peanut butter cup today 🤤
Upcoming appointments: NIPT ultrasound in one week! Once I see that baby is still doing okay, we’ll make it public
How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Slowly getting some energy back, and have even stayed up past 10pm some nights! The thought of eating healthy food still kind of turns me off and takes some effort. Looking forward to second tri!
Raves/Rants: today is my last day of work until the new year! My coworkers and I just got back from brunch so now I don’t really feel like doing much for the rest of the day.
Questions: nada
GTKY: Apart from baby's arrival, what are you looking forward to in 2020? 2019 started out great, and ended poorly, so I’m just looking forward to start some new memories as our family grows.
EDD/weeks+days: 12 weeks
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Green for now
Baby is the size of a(n): Swedish Fish
Upcoming appointments: Jan 16th
How are you feeling? Fine. Sometimes I forget that I’m pregnant, and then all of a sudden my boobs hurt or I am about fall asleep.
Raves/Rants: Rave that I am off work until the new year! Perks of being a teacher include Winter Break
Questions: How early is too early to wear maternity clothes? I am down to one pair of pants that fit other than sweats or yoga pants.
GTKY: Apart from baby's arrival, what are you looking forward to in 2020? Honestly I have not thought about it. Right now our minds on focused on this miracle.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): plum

Raves/Rants: raves! We announced in our Christmas card this week and found out 3! of my friends are also expecting pretty close to me!

NT scan 12/26, NIPT came back last week all good.
How are you feeling?
My nausea is finally easing up to just the evenings now. I’m still tired all the time.
Raves/Rants:
Rave / enjoying the time off from work and doing nothing at home with DH. Our family is in Australia so Christmas is just us which I’ve come to love. Next year it will be with our little boy

None

Our first child being born is top of the list but the other thing we are excited about is becoming US citizens.
Team pink- girl confirmed at us and by NIPT
How are you feeling? Overall better, had migraine yesterday and that sucked
Relieved NIPT results were all clear.
rants/raves
On vacation until 1/6!! This time was desperately needed. Checked out two children’s resale stores close to us. Lots of super cute things a lot with original tags.
Questions- Do any STM or TTM remember how many newborn sized things you bought or got in shower?
As much as it’s nerve wracking (budget wise) my wife’s retirement from her teaching career. New opportunities and think she’ll be a lot happier.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team green this time
Baby is the size of a(n): Swedish fish
Upcoming appointments: my OB office (god bless military medicine) had NO open appointments for my follow up next week so I'm in limbo; but should be next week (insert eye roll here)
How are you feeling? Eh, we’re home and my phone has no service in BFE where my parents live. But I always miss home, and it’s nice to see all our old friends
Raves/Rants: my husband thinks it’s fine to drive all over the area to see everyone. The car increases my nausea and our toddler isn’t a fan of being stuck in weird peoples homes and places. I told him we drove 2 days to get here, the least people can do is make their way to us
Questions: nope

finally submitting my release from the military! Woot woot!
I didn't get hardly any clothes at my shower because I didn't register for them. I put, like, one or two things on there for the people who would insist on getting some...but put the not as fun things on there for the most part. I didn't want to encourage people to give a gift of all clothing b/c then you have a ton of stuff that may not be your style. Plus, let's face it, I'd rather buy the clothes if I have to buy something... b/c it's the fun part.
I'd say start with at least 5-7 NB sleepers and same with outfits (I hate laundry, so I'd rather have too much than be stressed trying to get laundry done b/c baby spit up or had a blowout on their last outfit). The rest should be 0-3mo. The exception would be if you find out you're likely going to deliver early. Then you might want some preemie sized stuff and more NB, depending on how often you end up getting out of the house.
Pro tip: anything other than onesies and shorts/pants are a joke when they're that little. They have no control so you spend all your time pulling down their shirt/skirt/dress b/c they're basically up around their necks lol. Stick with stuff that has snaps so it doesn't move.
@samwalker714 still with the nausea everyday! and sometimes puking. Keep waiting for it to start getting better... Also omg that puppy 😍 can’t handle the cuteness
@mama_of_two_huskies I’m only down to sweats or unbuttoned jeans w an elastic. Planning to get some mat jeans ASAP!

Upcoming appointments: End of January
How are you feeling? Pretty crummy. Have a cold now, so took a Benadryl last night and half a Unisom for nausea (worried since they’re similar meds, I shouldn’t double up, even though i take the kind of Unisom that’s doxylamine not diphenhydramine). Anyway, that meant throwing up this morning, I think since I didn’t get the full dose of Unisom. Basically makes for a very unfun ”would you rather” - Would I rather throw up a bit in the morning or be congested all night?
Raves/Rants: see above 😂
Questions: anyone ask their doc about this potential Benadryl/ Unisom combo? Mine said not to double up if they’re the same thing, but the one I’m taking is different.
GTKY: Apart from baby's arrival, what are you looking forward to in 2020?
Hoping to do some traveling once I start feeling better. Planning to visit some family in California in early February.
Here's the site I used: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/benadryl-with-doxylamine-896-1617-942-0.html
Also, I totally didn't think about summer for myself! The one reason I love being pregnant in the summer is that it's the one time I'm totally confident about my body. I'm definitely that pregnant lady that just rocks her regular bikini lol... PP body... ehhhh... I could do without that during the summer. But I doubt I'll be taking DD to the pool a ton/at all (with baby in tow) in the very early days anyway.
@blaf322 thanks for the tips!
@mama_of_two_huskies i think maternity pants are a personal thing. The bloat from the fertility meds had me in them early. Could have waited but didn’t care. Super comfortable.
@mama_of_two_huskies your pups are ADORABLE
