Interesting Baby Fact / Baby is size of: a postage stamp? Today we move from embryo to fetus!
Upcoming Appointments: I have my first in person appointment on Friday and I am so anxious about it.
How are you feeling?: My anxiety is through the roof because my symptoms have basically disappeared the last couple of days. Which I know could mean nothing, or could mean something. I actually tried to get my appointment changed to today butttttt it turns out the office is closed because it's a state holiday. Ugh.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite flower? 🌺 I love peonies and hydrangeas.
Upcoming Appointments: 4/29 for ultrasound and 4/30 virtual for history/intake info.
How are you feeling?: Was feeling really good yesterday - even thought I might be done with morning sickness.... then I felt worse this morning and just threw up, so 🤷🏽♀️ Definitely exhausted every day still. Sore/sensitive nipples still. Looking forward to that boost of energy in the second trimester!
Rants/Raves: I haven’t been eating very healthy and was getting worried that I was already putting on a bunch of weight. Finally bit the bullet and stepped on the scale yesterday and found I’ve gained a pound at most. Haha. So not too bad. That inspired me to actually put jeans on yesterday and they still fit!
Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your favorite flower? Hmmm.... I’m not huge on flowers but I do like sunflowers or like different colored daisies.

How are you feeling?: usually I wake up feeling hungover. Today I feel pretty normal. Which is sort of concerning, even though I know symptoms come and go.

Rants/Raves: We’re having beautiful weather so that is my rave! My rant is my three year old waking up several times each night lately! Sleep, buddy!
Questions: None right now
GTKY: What is your favorite flower? 🌺 I’ve planted around thirty rose bushes since we moved into our house seven years ago. Lately I’ve been collecting English roses. So my roses are my favorites. They’re like my plant children.
