  Thanks @mimser for posting! 

  
  

  Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7 + 4
  
  

  FTM/STM/STM+: STM, 3 children (13, 9, 3)
  
  

  Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out eventually! 
  
  

  Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Gummy Bear! 
  
  

  Upcoming appointments: October 12th, which is kind of late, but I work  and I’ve got three kids 🤷🏻‍♀️ We have a very busy life.
  
  

  How are you feeling?: Like sh*t. Like I have a  terrible hangover that won’t go away. I haven’t really barfed, but I constantly feel nauseous and exhausted. 
  
  

  Rants/Raves: PNW over here and our air is finally clear, I spent some time outside today for the first time in weeks.
  
  

  Questions: Can someone please magically take my nausea away?
  
  GTKY: when you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? Is it very different from what you’re doing now? Actually, I just wanted to be a wife and a mom. I know, I know, not exactly creative. But once I was an adult I realized I wanted to be a teacher, so I went through college while working and had two children! I graduated to be a special education teacher in 2014, but have been home raising our kids and providing nanny services from home since then. But I definitely use my teaching skills everyday!

  GTKY: when you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? Is it very different from what you’re doing now? I wanted to be a teacher. I'm a retail store manager so very different. But I do get to teach and train associates to be awesome and connect with them like family so I feel like that's similar in a different way.

  Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: May 4th, 8+1
  
  

  FTM/STM/STM+: This is #2
  
  

  Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding Out. I need to call next week to set my next appointment up. We'll be doing the panorama blood draw so will find out sex once that comes back. Debated doing sneak peek, but I'll already be shelling out $250 for the panorama.

  Questions: None right now
  
  GTKY: when you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? Is it very different from what you’re doing now? I wanted to be a broadway star.....I'm an accountant
