    GTKY: Strangest gift you ever received? DH bought me hubcaps. Usually for our anniversary we pick something together that's for both of us. One year he said he found something to surprise me with, and it was hubcaps, something that's hard to find for my car, but still...

    GTKY: Strangest gift you ever received? Hmm, my fiancé gave me a reusable tote bag twice 😅 The last one was last Christmas I think and his grandfather couldn't stop laughing and saying it was a bad gift 😂 I got plenty of other much nicer gifts in his defense. We like to give each other a few of what we call little thoughts.

    Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out (hopefully) on Thursday! 

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a light bulb 

    Upcoming appointments: had a chiropractor appt today, have my 16 week tomorrow and an elective gender scan on Thursday 

    How are you feeling?: The last few days have been pretty rough but today was much better 

    Rants/Raves: I believe I felt the baby move for the first time a couple days ago. It surprised me in a good way! My placenta is anterior so I expected it would be longer but I think the baby was in the right spot because of my positioning at the time. Haven’t felt it sense, but it was exciting! 

    Questions:

    GTKY: Strangest gift you ever received? I received a “50 shades of chicken” cookbook which is strange in the best way. The description of the recipes are hysterical haha.

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: It says that baby boy is the size of a CD today. 
    Upcoming appointments: I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow afternoon. 
    How are you feeling?: I’m feeling some better. The last few evenings I have cut my Unisom in half. I’ve been a bit more gaggy but it is tolerable. The upside is I’ve been a bit more alert during the day. 
    Rants/Raves: N/A
    Questions: Is anyone opting out of the blood draw that tests for spina bifida? I believe I opted out for my last two pregnancies. I think I may do it this time but my big concern about any of those tests is receiving a false positive and adding stress.

    When my husband and I had just started dating, he gave me a stuffed soccer ball. I’m convinced he had no idea what to get me and decided to find something random. He’s gotten much better at gift giving over the years. 😄

    @dlynn484 I kind of just found out about the spina bifida test this week on this board. No doctor has ever talked to me about it. I read a little about it and it seems like they can diagnose it at the Anatomy Scan? As for the hormone they test, I had it measured when doing my screening for trisomy 13, 18, 21 so I assume if they had seen anything they would have flagged it...🤷‍♀️

    @brynn_mamaof4 😂 Nope! He used to be though.
    @mimser That’s a good point! I will ask if my previous test checked for that.

    @dlynn484 I just had it done this week, but I think the late a/s at 20 weeks seems to be what the doctors really go on. The blood test is less reliable but can give a few weeks of additional time to confirm with a second blood test and do intrauterine surgery on baby's spine (if it's warranted) in a specific time frame.
