DH was watching this cooking show yesterday that only uses leftovers and it made me gag so bad he had to turn it off. 🤢
*TW* death
I also had two co-workers pass away from covid right around Christmas.
Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us, Brooklyn 99, Schitt's Creek, Grace and Frankie, The Good Place, Parks and Rec, Game of Thrones, Cobra Kai, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, His Dark Materials
I might watch way too much TV 😬. DH and I have started watching old seasons of Big Brother because I've never seen them and we do enjoy some good trashy TV
@pickle-chips hope the wretched symptoms ease up a bit for you!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: almost the size of a pea
Upcoming appointments: January 22, dating US
How are you feeling?: Physically fine, a little more tired than usual. Emotionally, I don't know. Not going to lie, kind of hesitant about the idea of two as our threenager runs around the house wild. A little too late now, but I would be lying if I didn't admit to have some "wtf were we thinking moments?!?" 😬
Rants/Raves: nothing much, going back to work tomorrow after two weeks off. 🙃
Questions: none

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: I’ll probably find out, I feel like I’m not really connecting to my pregnancy and maybe finding out the sex will help with that
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A raspberry
Upcoming appointments: Only 2 more weeks to my first appointment! It feels like it will never get here lol
How are you feeling?: Crappy. I feel nauseous all day long and just randomly sad for no reason at all at various times during the day.
Rants/Raves: I’m not really looking forward to the semester starting. While I’m glad I don’t have to teach in person while feeling so terrible, I don’t like teaching online and I’ve been teaching online only since March
Questions:
GTKY: What are your favourite television shows? My husband and I just finished catching up on Doom Patrol and it’s SO good! I also really loved Harley Quinn. The Mandelorian is great. I’ve re-watched Criminal Minds more times than I can count. Gilmore Girls is also a favorite though it’s been awhile since I’ve done a re-watch. The Great British Baking Show is very soothing to watch, I like to watch it when I’m stressed and need to relax. I definitely watch too much TV
Jan 25ish -more bloodwork
Sea bands are helping and I'm trying to avoid meds this time around.

How are you feeling?: Nausea was little worse this morning. Sleep is crap so started sleep meditation again.
Rants/Raves: I'll jump on the don't wanna go back to work wagon
Questions: none
GTKY: What are your favourite television shows? Used to love criminal minds and other true crime shows but now I can't watch them after having the baby. We are Michael schur fans so Brooklyn99, the good place and parks and rec are all perennial favorites (I do not care for the office as much but MH is obsessed). Also love the west wing. Can't watch medical shows other than scrubs and some ER bc they are so wildly inaccurate (except for House MD, somehow I can tolerate the earlier seasons of that one). This might be UO but I never watch reality shows (partly bc we haven't owned cable until this year but I'm not that interested either).
My comfort shows are GBBO and other cooking shows. The Australian masterchef is SO wholesome it makes me want to cry (see if you can find the episode hosted by pregnant Katy Perry).

Upcoming appointments: Last RE appointment on 1/11 and first appointment with my new midwife on 1/12.
How are you feeling?: Ongoing nausea and fatigue. I took people's advice and started taking colace, which has helped with the constipation, so thank you! I think I've started having round ligament pain, which feels weird, but not terrible.
Rants/Raves: TW animal death: I mentioned last week that this was happening, but we put our 14 1/2 year old dog to sleep on Wednesday. It was really hard, and it still feels strange to not have her around the house.
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: What are your favourite television shows? I watch Parks and Rec or New Girl on repeat a lot. Schitt's Creek has been added to the rotation recently. I'm looking for a new show to watch. I love true crime stuff as well, but a lot of shows end up being super cheesy, so it's hard to find good ones.

Rants/Raves: I have a family member living with me recently, along with her 6 week old infant. It’s been difficult, particularly this weekend. I think that contributed to my fatigue.
