Upcoming Appointments: I have a televisit on July 23rd and no in person appointment until August 21 for a check and the glucose screen....which seems like FOREVER away. I also have a fetal echocardiogram on July 20th, so hopefully that will hold me over until the end of August.
Rant/Rave: Nothing new to report today. Feeling a little more movement, which is good but also more heartburn.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Oh man, I have been wanting everything sugary this pregnancy. I don't discriminate!
Upcoming Appointments: AS & midwife visit on July 8! 9 more days 🤗
Rant: Even though I know my body is doing something incredible right now, I’m having a hard time accepting some of the changes happening to it. I feel guilty that I can’t just embrace the changes!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Lately? Everything! Current favorite is probably chocolate cake donuts.
Week of pregnancy: 19. Can’t believe we’re almost half way there!
Baby is the size of: mango I think
Upcoming Appointments: bloodwork tomorrow, AS next week! Also just booked an elective 3D ultrasound. Can’t wait to see more of this little boy.
Rant/Rave: baby’s movements have become more consistent. The past several nights I’ve been able to feel an 11pm dance party. My first had the same party time!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Lately I keep wanting chocolate croissants. Also Whole Foods makes a key lime tart that I could eat every day. I want it now.
Rant/Rave: Rant: working on a total reset for my DDs cloth diapers (recently changed washing machines and pur previous wash routine didn't carry over well) so it's a TON of work but soo worth it in the end. I'm just grumbling about it lol. Silver lining: finding out now vs after the twins are here! Rave: starting to feel more movement which is the beat thing ever IMO!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Do I have to pick one? 🤔 a GOOD tiramisu is LIFE! Or homemade cheesecake.

Rant/Rave: Rant: this app. Wasnt able to post anything the past couple of weeks. Although that could be operator error as well 😅might try to pull it up on the desktop and give up on the phone app.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Caramel pie. Hubby makes one every year for my birthday, yummmm.
Upcoming Appointments: Next week I have an OB appointment on 7/9 and AS on 7/10. I am thinking of rescheduling my OB though because I would prefer to have it after the AS and I don't want to take to 1/2 days off in a row.
Rant/Rave: I could complain about how no one seems to be taking Covid seriously anymore and that numbers in my county are jumping crazy.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Ice cream! I could eat it all day every day.
Upcoming Appointments: July 8th for both OB and AS. I am so excited!!!
Rant/Rave: I feel huge and I'm only (approximately) half way! So many people asking if it's twins...🙄. November cannot get here fast enough!
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? All of them! Currently, I've been indulging in some Tastykake cream filled chocolate cupcakes and chocolate milk before bed every night. I have no shame! 😆
Rant/Rave: RANT: Stretch marks appearing on my thigh and buttocks *i feel guilty crying about it* I expected it to be on the stomach ONLY. Three days ago, i had the worst round ligament pain EVER! It confined me in bed for 2 days arrrggghh!
RAVE: i feel the baby move now. Although not much but i can tell.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Cake!! *I feel awful but can’t help it😄
Rant/Rave: I ordered my first maternity clothes, I thought I had more flowy summer dresses than it turns out I do I am normally a strong supporter of my local thrift shops - since that's a no go for the foreseeable future, I checked out the Mercari app. Pretty easy to use to sort down to size, type etc.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? ICE CREAM, always. I'm 2 blocks away from a churro place, so this will be the summer of churros in all forms (filled churros, milkshakes, ice cream sandwiches, sundaes)
Rant/Rave: I’m so excited for the AS but also terrified at the same time. We have always been team green but more tempted to find out this time around. I have 2 boys so want to be prepared if this one is a girl. My wallet thinks it would be best to wait. Haha
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? I don’t like sweets while pregnant and chocolate makes me sick right now. My sweet craving is pop. When not preggo, I love cheesecake!
@drsddc OMG! We are exactly the same! We were team green for DS1 and DS2, but we have decided to find out. Mostly because it's probably our last baby and I want to purge! DS1 was born in May and DS2 is October so I have a full baby wardrobe for every age and season that I don't really need!
@acdc1109 We are the same! DS1 was October and DS2 was end of April so we also have a ridiculous amount of boy clothes for all seasons! This is also our last so trying to talk my husband into finding out- 1 week left!
@drsddc Haha! My husband is the one who first suggested we should find out so we can experience both! DS1 is 4 and we also think it will help him connect with the baby if he knows if it's a brother or sister and the baby's name.
Upcoming Appointments: Not until the 28th. Had one last week with an ultrasound. Just glad everything looks good!
Rant/Rave: Gotta give props to my husband. He's been such a team player. I'll complain about something and he's like "in my book it says that happens because..." Always checking in on how I'm feeling, mentally and physically. He's just all around being super.
GTKY: What is your favorite dessert/sweet treat? Sheet cake. Give me a big 'ol piece of sheet cake. Leave the leftovers for breakfast! Dessert sidenote: we're making crepes tomorrow and I'm beyond excited!
@acdc1109 and @drsddc this time it seems so much harder to not find out! I keep reminding myself about the excitement in the delivery room when we finally saw.
