Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Pink

Baby is the size of a(n): Kale / ping pong paddle

Upcoming appointments: March 4th, regular checkup

How are you feeling? Bad back pain due to strict bedrest and having my pelvis propped up all the time. Other than that, good! I got an emergency cerclage 3 weeks ago ans will be leaving the hospital tomorrow. Yay! It was brutal!

Raves/Rants: Just the one rant: what is it with the restless leg syndrome!? I'll be starting on magnesium supplements these days so I'm hoping it will get better...

Questions: Nope

GTKY: If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
London! I loved it as a tourist! Their museums have the best exhibitions and there are so many fun options for leisure, plus all the landmarks, parkand historical buildings... There's not a week that passes that I don't think back and smile a little

Baby is the size of a(n): head of cauliflower?

Upcoming appointments: Idk. Another 3 ish weeks I guess? Not this week which is about all my head can remember. I'll do GTT next time.

How are you feeling? I think my 3.5 year old has the flu, my husband and I have just a cold, for now. Busted pelvis and this cold are stopping sleep so I'm still just miserable and mostly on house arrest. I can't wait until it's warm ish outside, so my husband can set up our patio furniture, and I can at least sit outside while kids play in the yard.

Raves/Rants: Disabled with a house and car not set up for it is hellish. Trying to even get a kid into the doctor is a huge to-do. Rave-our new-to-us Roku and sharing my sister's Disney Plus to go with our Netflix is really helping to get through this bad stage. It's been cold and miserable since mid-October, we've been sick a majority of that time, and expecting over a foot of snow between tomorrow and Wednesday. Any day they close schools is a day that makes it more likely for baby to be born before school ends. And our snow blower has a broken part. So...screw this week.

Questions: Not a real question, just rhetorical, but how does one sign up for a pregnancy that isn't completely awful? They must exist, because most people can function and some choose to have many more kids than me. Ugh.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere, where would it be? I'll throw out total guesses, because I've never been able to leave this continent. But I'm thinking rural UK or far outskirts of town in New Zealand. looking for places with decent healthcare, that care about families and children, have decent transit system when you're in cities, weather not awful, English speaking is a help, lol.

I would love to sign up for one of these pregnancies! Seeing how risky this one is, I'm very afraid of considering a second one. MH is actually more open towards adoption than me! so I think I might just start giving this a more serious thought...

I don't blame you at all! I do hope adoption isn't crazy expensive in your country, it's several thousands of dollars.

We definitely won't be doing another pregnancy after this one, but we're lucky to also know that our family is certainly complete with this one too.

@pourmeanothermocktail
I don't think it is expensive... I do know it's complicated, but there's a Christian organisation here that helps parents with just that, so, if we decide it, we'll probably turn to them for guidance. As far as I know, we actually have some financial support from the governement for a while after adopting, which is cool

Baby is the size of a(n): VHS Tape

Upcoming appointments: 3/2 for glucose

How are you feeling? TMI but constipation just started and is something i have never dealt with before. Gross. I just clearly remember sitting on new years eve listening to the comedian joke about hemorrhoids and now that i get it, its not funny. Not funny at all.

Raves/Rants: Just got back from the "babymoon" which i was really excited about and was wonderful but now i am feeling a little stressed over the 90 days left.

GTKY: If you could live anywhere, where would it be? @pustiulari Hubby and i have talked about london many time and i even looked into the work visa but then we decided to start a family

And speaking of adoption, we had a long road to get here which i do not regret at all but DH final gets why i kept throwing adoption into the discussion and just last week said that he was sorry he didnt give it more thought. He obviously couldnt have realized how pregnancy can affect the healthy of the mom. Hang in there ladies, we can do this.

I was actually expecting difficulties, but not as many,

. I don't regret it either despite how hard it got. Adoption is still open for us, but because I am not very fond of other people's kids (I see them, think they are cute but don't really feel like interacting with them) I felt like a really needed to push for our own, to see how I could manage and how my maternal instincts would awaken, haha

And it's never too late for London, even if it's after the kids have left the nest. So worth it, at least to visit...
