Rant/Rave: I am back in the office for the first time and I am already over it. I miss my little guy and I just don't want to be here.
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? I would say when we went to California to visit my husbands family. It was beautiful. We went on a wine tour, to the beach and just had a great time !
Upcoming Appointments: next Wednesday, I have to complete the 3 hr glucose test early due to having GD in my last pregnancy. 🤞 it doesn't happen again!
Rant/Rave: feeling kinda meh today...🙄
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? Honeymoon! We went to Disney World and everyone thought we were crazy to be going without kids, but it was amazing!
Baby is the size of: orange. Though I also read donut, and that’s speaking my language.
Upcoming Appointments: next week I have my 16 week appointment.
Rant/Rave: Rant is for my three year old who won’t go to sleep. He gets so wired at bedtime. My tiredness is preventing me from coming up with a rave.
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? Traveling through England and Scotland the year before my son was born. I can’t wait to be able to travel again with these kids.
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow I have one . Just a normal midwife appointment
Rant/Rave: things have basically been sad and somber around here lately . My mom took all our kids yesterday for a couple days and that’s huge! Much needed break
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? hands downThailand , Laos and Cambodia . Went there for 3 weeks right after college . It was magical
Upcoming Appointments: Telehealth visit with my midwife tomorrow.
Rant: I’ve had a slight headache every day for the last couple days.. I hope they don’t get worse! 🙏🏻 Rave: Target is having a sale on baby items and my husband’s parents bought us a Graco travel system. Happy to have one bigger item checked off our list!
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? Honeymoon to Montego Bay, Jamaica 🇯🇲
@surlyjaneausten SO jealous of your trip to England and Scotland! The #1 place on my travel list is the British Isles (because I can't pick just one country). I will eventually get there but the difference is I don't want to take my kids! 😆
Rant/Rave: These headaches are something else! Some days, I go to bed with a headache, wake up at 4am with the same pounding headache, and have to take more tylenol when it comes back in the early afternoon. Ugh! On the bright side, my NIPT test came back all negative/normal yesterday and we found out its a BOY! We're so excited!
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? Definitely Japan! We went in 2017 for our honeymoon and it was amazing! We booked a trip to go this year for cherry blossom season, but, as you can imagine...that didnt go as planned.
@acdc1109 We went to Disney a few years ago childless and it was awesome! I can't wait to go with kids but, there is definitely a ton to do without them. Even some things that are better done without them. We went during the Food and Wine Festival in Epcot and I would probably not have enjoyed it as much if I had children with me.
The headaches are awful. I also clench my jaw at night and seem to do it more while pregnant which makes them worse!
Upcoming Appointments: Not until 6/22 for the anatomy scan
Rant/Rave: The daycare guidelines for our state were just released and I'm honestly not confident that our provider will be able to stay open. Ugh.
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? Hawaii for our honeymoon. We went to Maui and Kauai. We're hoping to go back (childless) for our 10 year anniversary in a few years.
Rant/Rave: Hello second trimester! Our work is having a steps competition so I've been trying to walk more in the evenings. It definitely has helped ease the pain in my lower back! Also felt movement 2 different nights this week!
GTKY: What is the best vacation you've ever been on? DH and I went to Custer State Park in South Dakota last year. I had never been out west, so it was an amazing experience! Planning on going out to Yellowstone this September with our toddler!
@1sttimemomma98@windywoman@surlyjaneausten have you found anything that helps with your headaches? Mine have been horrible the last two days and Tylenol is not doing the job anymore 😩
@lalarose22 I’ve found taking Tylenol right when it’s starting is the only time it’s effective for me. Tons of water and I’ve used ice packs on my head too. Sorry they’re so bad!
I have a rave for this week (since I didn't have one when I originally posted). I just spoke with one of the ob coordinators at my ob office and she said I don't have to do the 3 hr glucose test this week! Because I had GD with my last pregnancy I was told I would need to do the 3 hr test at 16 weeks, but apparently my A1C looked good in my initial bloodwork so I'm back on the normal protocol! (1 hr test at 28 weeks). I could not be more excited about this!!!
@lalarose22 I’ve been trying to up my water intake and sometimes a quick nap helps! the tylenol hasn’t been doing much for me either wish I could be of more help
