@hanshotfirst77 - You're sooo close! I can't believe it. I mean I can, but you know what I'm saying. Lol. What are you doing for your vacation?
@vetgirl2011 - Awww to the thumb sucking! That's so adorable. I swear my little girl did a complete flip in my belly last week. I could feel her turning. It was so weird.
Question: Did you all do or will you do virtual baby showers? How was it? I'm trying to pick things for a registry and for whatever reason it's overwhelming.
@31magnolia – I am having 3! Because is different groups and they are organizing everything….and since is virtual they prefer to do a small group, otherwise it would be difficult to manage. I created a registry at amazon, which everyone has an account and is familiar with, so that was the easiest way. I think Target can be an option too. I asked a couple of recent experienced moms to help with the list, but just 2…if you involve more people then it will be more overwhelming because with even 2, its difficult because each have very strong opinions.
Also, sorry about the 3hr test. But like you said, at least it's only for 8-9 more weeks! I have my 1 hour test next week. I was doing pretty good, but I've started eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches daily and then a cookie or ice cream. And there's also the carbs. I guess I'll find out next week.

@mtpbadger - Hopefully they'll still keep the appointment in person given the situation! I don't know why doctor's think video appointments are good during pregnancy. In person appointments give you peace of mind and that's important for momma and baby. Keep us updated.

@31magnolia Both babies did that to me. Baby girl like to punch (feels like it) my cervix when I’m walking on treadmill. Very uncomfortable.

@cashewchicken – Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I have an education session tomorrow and appointment later this week, but soooo glad to know I don’t have to give up carbs altogether. I also read something you mention, not actually eliminating carbs/sweets but is more about how to balance.
@andreamm31 – Welcome!! Such an awesome story and so happy for you and your miracle baby!
