@ellieemc26 I'm sorry you have to wait so long for an appointment. Could you call in a few days to see if they have something sooner? I did this with my office and every time I called I was able to bump my appointment up a week.

Questions: NATM GTKY: What is your go-to coffee order? Depends where I am going. I like to get a non-fat latte or caramel macchiato when I am out at café, but if I am at starbucks around the holidays I like to get the peppermint mocha or gingerbread lattes.

@ellieemc26 you might not have to miss it if it’s not out of town! You might be supppperrrr pregnant and uncomfortable but could still be there for a bit!
DH was best man for our best friends when I was pregnant in my first and I lost my appendix at 26 weeks and ended up in the hospital that whole weekend and missed it. They were married in our city but from away so they were only here a few days, they came to see me in the hospital their last day here and otherwise I never even saw them! It sucks!
@kristah2 my OB told me that because I’m AMA they absolutely won’t let me go past my due date and it’s likely I may be induced early. Somehow I doubt it will work out to be early enough that I could be recovered enough to still go but I guess we shall see! They are local so at least I’ll get the chance to see them and congratulate at them at some point!

Questions: NATM GTKY: What is your go-to coffee order? Caramel macchiato or like @halfanewt I love London Fog especially in the winter
@ellieemc26 as a first time mama, I would go ahead and expect that you’re likely to go past your due date - your hubby should let his BFF know that there is always a chance he wouldn’t be able to be at the wedding - it could be possible that you’re in labor and/or in the hospital that day! 😬

@kristah2 I’m the same! I am usually a lover of all things coffee and haven’t been able to drink it at all!
@klj0228 I’m not a fan of daylight savings with kids. I used to love it when I didn’t have a toddler sleep schedule to screw up lol @ellieemc26 my brother was planning his wedding for May but the date wasn’t set yet since they hadn’t found the right venue yet. I was so relieved that he moved it to august and I’ll be able to attend. I’m sorry you potentially won’t be able to make the wedding hopefully it works out for you to make an appearance.

It will take some serious will power not to find out what we’re having. I couldn’t wait with DD 😂 How are you feeling?: I feel like waking up today was night and day. Seems the exhaustion is subsiding, and my appetite is stabilizing. I was finally able to vacuum and clean my house! 😆🙂 Rants/Raves: not really either, but a weird finding in my last blood test. With DD in 2017 my blood work came back that I was not immune to rubella. After she was born I was immediately vaccinated in the hospital. Well this time around my blood work came back again that I am in fact NOT immune to rubella. My midwife is sending me for Testing to see if I’m vaccine non responsive (meaning my body doesn’t take to vaccines and I would be considered not immune to illnesses I’ve been vaccinated for including things like the flu) it’s all very strange. I’ve never had measles or mumps in my life (same vaccine) so I’m interested to see what the results are. Questions: GTKY: What is your go-to coffee order? I’m pretty simple. Hot coffee with a splash of non dairy milk. Right now I’m on an oat milk kick. No sugar.
@emwj10187 I just had a similar conversation with a friend at work. She is immune to measles and mumps but not rubella. They have made her get revaccinated multiple times because she is a nurse and jobs want you vaccinated if your titer comes back negative. Interesting to run into someone here a few days later with the same issue.
@emwj10187 I've never heard of that happening before with vaccines, the human body is so weird! @klj0228 oy vey DST with kids is rough, we tried to change my DS's sleep schedule change in the days leading up to DST but....yeah. Someone made the comment to me that little ones are like animals with their sleep schedules, they just have times ingrained in them, lol. They're not wrong.

I'm WFH and have gotten friendly with the Starbucks app that lets you order ahead of time and then waltz in there and pick up your order. Starbucks is literally a mile down the street from my home (dangerous). The menu is overwhelming to me so I like being able to hum and haw over it in the app. Lately it's been steamers (pumpkin spice, but I'll probably move to the christmas flavors soon!)
