Rants/Raves: None of the meetings we have at work finish or start on time, such a bother.
Questions: None
GTKY: What is your favorite hot drink? It has to be good old boring coffee! The sad thing is I quit coffee last December/January 😅 but I'll still have decaf from time to time. So, when I have this healthy baby, I look forward to enjoying my morning coffee again, until we TTC again!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Size of a lime today. Craziness
Upcoming appointments: Not til November 10th
How are you feeling?: Starting to feel a tiny bit better. Still gagging but I have a few more foods I can eat now which is nice.
Rants/Raves: My mom was in town this weekend and DS had a blast with her. Poor thing is a very active boy but I've had him in front of the tv a lot. He loved having extra attention and ran around a local garden with her for an hour. It was a great break for me and a change for him.
Questions: None
GTKY: Normally I love a soy vanilla latte but right now I'm just happy I can drink hot chocolate. Hoping my body will be ok with coffee again soon.
Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out hopefully this week!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a golf ball

How are you feeling?: I’m feeling anxious. The pregnancy dreams haven’t been great and I wake up most mornings in a panic. I hope the doctor calls with the blood test results this week and I think that may help settle me.
Rants/Raves: I’m so ready for the morning sickness to at least subside a little. It has been rough this time!
Questions: I can’t think of any right now.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: size of a Macaroni
Upcoming appointments: Nov 3
How are you feeling?: Pretty good. I'm starting to feel like I can stay awake most of the day with an early bedtime so that's a plus!
Rants/Raves: Rave: My dad was in town this weekend and I hadn't seen him since last Thanksgiving so it was really fun to see him and DS play together. DS is going to be really bummed when he leaves today 😢. But we had a really good time!
Rant: I have a huge project go-live at work this weekend and am exhausted just thinking of all the hours I will be working these next two weeks.
Questions: Nothing right now

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: I’ll be 11 weeks tomorrow!
FTM/STM/STM+: 4th kiddo
Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finallllly convinced my fiancé to agree to finding out the gender lol. We will just do a special 4d US around 16 weeks. We are going to keep the gender and name a surprise for everyone else though, that was the compromise ha.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: I can’t remember.. but I think this app says 11 weeks is a Lime? Which was crazy to me, so much bigger than just a week ago!
Upcoming appointments: in my 12th week
How are you feeling?: I will immediately knock on every wood surface in my house after I say this but... surprisingly much better. I am down to one zofran a day and it’s keeping me pretty buttoned up for the most part. I really think I may get over the yuckiness soon.. I have had severe HG in my past pregnancies practically living in the hospital and needing to carry a backpack of IV fluids around. So I am very very happy to feel so much better. Other than that, I’m still very tired. I’m having the worst insomnia. BUT.... my constipation seems to be improving and THAT makes me so happy haha.
Rants/Raves: We just bought my dream home and close on the 30th. I’m so excited and can’t wait to move in and start making it our home. Rant: I really want a doppler, the fact that I AM feeling so much better makes me also a little nervous 🤦🏼♀️. But, my placenta has attached itself to the front of my uterus and they said it may be hard to locate heartbeat... so I don’t want to get one and not be able to find it and freak myself out.
Questions: Needing some amazing recommendations for a good pair of maternity leggings! My favorite leggings are the space dye material collection from Beyond Yoga. They are worth every penny in my opinion. But they are sold out of all sizes in maternity 😭. Something super soft and strong/sturdy. I can’t stand leggings that are the slicker workout material.
GTKY: What is your favorite hot drink? I’ve been treating myself to an occasional al hot apple cider from Starbucks lately. At home I’ve been enjoying making hot chocolate with some peppermint mocha creamer, whipped cream, marshmallows, and a few chocolate chips on top 🙈
@brynn_mamaof4 Two great pieces of news! So glad you’re feeling better and may not have HG this time *knocks on wood* Congrats on the new house! What makes it your dream home?
@SkilledSailor thank you so much! It’s the perfect “modern farmhouse” on 6 acres. We live in a pretty populated area, so finding a home with that much land is super rare. It’s private too with gorgeous views. Everything is updated and I just love it! Plus it has 5 bedrooms so enough room for all the kiddos ha. Kids are on upper floor and master on main. A walk out basement! Just room to breathe and plenty of space for our Rhodesian Ridgeback to run to his hearts content outside. There’s an adorable play house for my youngest daughter and an awesome tree house for my son. It will just offer so much for us! We feel super lucky. The market here has been very stressful to look for homes in... everything good goes in 24 hours, people are offering above asking, accepting “as is” etc. we had to go quite a bit above asking to beat an all cash offer, and I wrote the sappiest letter ever, and they chose to work with us.
It’s been crazy to look in but I am SO excited to sell my home in this market haha. I’ll make a decent amount of money and I bought 2 years ago.
We are finally moving in together (fiancé and me and the kids) so I’m just so ready for this next chapter of life.
