    I've been really good about not ordering things we don't need!  

    With my anxiety about betas/ultrasounds/etc, I distracted myself with doing quite a bit of online shopping (mostly for myself and DD). It worked at distracting me but I spent a bit more money (well a lot more!) then I should have! Nothing to worry about, of course, but I need to reel it in a bit, heh, and find other ways to cope with the anxiety. With my pregnancy with DD, I dove into video games to keep myself distracted but I can't do that as much now, so I'm trying to figure out other ways to take my mind off of things.

    @2b1gmom I gained too much during my first pregnancy too. I've been pretty good about getting some exercise in lately, so that's my well done for the week!

    @mommaduck2490 that’s so awesome! I miraculously slept over 7 hours last night and felt like a whole knew person!

    my WDW is that I’ve made a point everyday since last Monday to take a fast pace 45 minute walk with my friend at work and today we took 2 walks. My feet are killing me but I’m so happy to be staying active!

    I went to the dermatologist today for a skin check! I’ve only been putting it off for years! 😂

    @brookert615
    I hate skin checks so much -- they really stress me out. BUT I'm incredibly fair skinned with reddish hair/blue eyes so I try to do them as regularly as possible. My daughter's also extremely fair skinned and I'll start taking her with me when she's a bit older. She has two congenital moles (one light one on her upper arm and a darker one  near her ankle) so I want to keep those monitored and maybe eventually removed if the derm thinks it's best.

    @mbradfo2 I am also very fair skinned and I used to tan back in the day for my psoriasis. I seriously was so worried but just a lot of relief now haha. Definitely a great idea starting her early!
