    Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: team green

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: as tall as a kitkat 

    Upcoming appointments: NT scan on Wednesday 

    How are you feeling?: Decent. Post nasal drip has really ramped up in the past few days, and it’s triggering my gag reflex pretty bad. My belly keeps getting progressively more sore in random spots from all the stretching and stuff.

    Rants/Raves: Spent the day taking down all of our Christmas stuff. My house looks so bare now!

    Questions: Anything I can do to help the post nasal drip? I can just feel it sitting in the back of my throat, but I can’t get it up unless I puke. It’s really disgusting. 

    GTKY: What is your favourite movie of all time? Hmmm this is tough. Probably Bridesmaids or Step Brothers. Both movies never fail to make me laugh!

  • @canucklehead123 I would also love some recommendations.  I'm in some serious need of stretching.  My muscles feel so tight.  I'm going to hunt through a bunch online and I'll share any good yoga, pilates ones I come across.

    @daisy528 I remember the first time I saw step brothers.  I laughed so hard I almost peed.  So good!

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a baseball

    Upcoming appointments: OB on January 28 is my next.  I'll be 17 weeks and he just wants a good baseline for my BP before I pass the 20 week mark.  I've had issues with blood pressure after 22-24 weeks with my 3 previous pregnancies.

    How are you feeling?:  Ok, abit achy but otherwise alot less tired and nausea seems gone, thank goodness.

    Rants/Raves:  I'm sick of Covid and lockdowns.  I hate how much my kiddies have sacrificed over the last year.   I just want Covid to go and them to get some sort of a normalcy back.

    Questions:  Anyone have any good Netflix recommendations?

    GTKY: What is your favourite movie of all time?  Little Women, the one with Susan Saradon.  It's my go to when I'm sick or feeling crappy.

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: 🥑

    Upcoming appointments: Jan 18 for my 1st GD test and February 9 for my anatomy scan 

    How are you feeling?: Pretty good. Energy is back so yay but still battling on and off nausea. I forget I’m pregnant until then. 

    Rants/Raves: Work is annoyingly busy. I forgot to make bread yesterday so I’ll make this morning with DS. It seems our lockdown will be extended by 3 weeks. Sigh. So over it. 

    Questions: I am pretty sure I remember this in my 1st pregnancy but last night I got shooting pains that had me doubled over in severe pain. It was super weird. Felt like extremely severe ovulation pain? 

    GTKY: What is your favourite movie of all time?

    Hm. I genuinely don’t know. I have quite a few faves like Bridesmaids, she’s the man, mad max, anything with Thor because 😍😍, and many others. But idk what my fave is. 

    *Live, Love, Laugh, Learn*

  • @tiggywiggles, not sure if you’ve seen any of these but:

    - Queen’s Gambit 
    - Bridgerton 
    - Emily in Paris (so cheesy but so bad it’s entertaining)
    - A suitable boy 
    - never have I ever 
    - Sweet Magnolias 
    - Cable Girls (in Spanish but SO good) 

    @daisy528, does a nasal spray help? I have it too but don’t have a nasal spray to try. 

    @canucklehead123, I’m doing a class with my barre studio and it’s virtual. It’s like €6/class but I did it throughout my 1st pregnancy and it was so great. Anything you could like that? Find a barre studio offering virtual classes?

  • @kime783. I go more for a specific savory dish (crispy chicken costeletta) but my favorite cheesecake is the white chocolate caramel macadamia nut. We didn’t get any dessert this time because we bought a chocolate mousse cake from Costco that I have been eyeing for a while and let me tell you that it did not disappoint
