Re: Weekly Check-in /// Week of 8/31
Hmm, I'm going to go with the city we're moving to in Oct, which we lived in before. I love the nature, and that we have tons of friends and family there. That's the reason we're moving back. But I'll definitely miss the culture and arts of NYC. IMO, there's nowhere in the world that can quite match it. We'll be traveling back annually to get our culture fill. That's the compromise.
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 1/8, 21 + 3
@lavenderclouds @whitealbum29 I'm with you on the secret registry! I still haven't told work I'm pregnant, and because of that haven't told many people at all to make sure it doesn't get on social media. I think I've made choices on more of the big stuff. We will probably end up buying most things ourselves anyway, just using it to track decisions so I don't loose things.

baby is adding fat and developing his lungs
not for a few weeks
fine except for SPD. I do have some congestion and lost all sense of smell and most taste, I otherwise fee totally fine but waiting to get a covid test back just in case.
We started clearing out our guest room/office to become a kids room this weekend. After years of it being the catch all room I’m dreading this entire process. I gave up after an hour and just ordered my poor H around.
none
We still get all four seasons, but fall and summer are the longest. In our specific area I love the schools, low taxes (even though other COL is high) and a lot to do for families. I miss the food and culture of NY but it’s getting better here.

as long as a popsicle!
We’ve lived in both southern and northern Cali, Colorado and Boise and I’d say nor cal was my fave ❤️
@briemo Sorry about the BH! Hopefully they don't happen too much.
@kat11223344 I've also found that I have random nausea/sensitivity to smell/almost vomiting episodes in the 2nd trimester. I didn't really have it in the 1st so it's weird! Pregnancy is so random.
@oaktree6 I hope the first day of daycare went smoothly!
@HappyFeet34 Ugh so sorry about the positive test, I hope it's just super mild and clears up quickly and that your doctor gives you some good info and peace of mind about it!
@krisspy22 I've been trying not to count the movements too much b/c I think it will freak me out if I feel less one day, but I would say I feel it at least twice every day? But my doctor yesterday suggested it can vary a lot at this point and I think she said it's not till 24 weeks that they want you to ideally feel it every day. I so agree with your soapbox, I'm definitely a "you get what you pay for" kind of person when it comes to people complaining about contributing to things like schools, libraries, other public services!
@aels12 yay for a great anatomy scan!
I think the things I would change would not make us a mid-size city anymore haha but I would like more in the food scene arena and more shopping. Even a TJs would be great
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 19 weeks! (1/28/21)
TW: a good friend of mine lost her baby at 19 weeks in January due to HELLP so I've been thinking about her a lot this week. I got a BP cuff for home last week even though I've never had any BP issues but I think I'm overly cautious now after her experience.
EDD for #2 1/28/2021
