Re: Weekly Check-in 7/26
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Thor’s hammer head
Upcoming appointments: Thursday, just the 25 week appt
How are you feeling?: really good! I get pretty annoying lower back pain at night but the hot water bottle DH makes for me nightly really helps
Rants/Raves: finally out of isolation 🙌🏻 and England’s heatwave has passed thank GOD! We’re back to our regular 70-75 degree weather which is just perfect
Questions:
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? Well my favourite book is My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares (author of the sisterhood of the travelling pants) but as for series, I’m going to be basic and say Harry Potter
Due: 6 Nov 2021
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a loaf of bread
Upcoming appointments: routine monthly appointment tomorrow
How are you feeling?: Tired, not very hungry or not in the mood for whatever is available lately. Not sure if that's just related to the head cold I'm still getting over.
Rants/Raves: Wasn't feeling cereal for breakfast, remembered the leftover blueberry pancakes from the weekend. Score!
Questions:
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? I don't know about 'best' but somewhat more recently, I really enjoyed the whimsy of Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: cauliflower head
Upcoming appointments: a couple of weeks for the GD test and regular checkup
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Baby is pushing everything up into my stomach and i have constant heartburn.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? My brain is not working today lol I’ll have to come back to this one
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: corn on the cob
Upcoming appointments: 8/3 regular OB appt
How are you feeling?: last week heartburn started with a vengeance. idk if it was because we were on vacation and not eating as healthy as we normally do or if it's because my bump has really popped, but tums aren't cutting it. I started pepcid last night, hopefully I won't need anything more than that.
Rants/Raves: My feet are already swelling if I don't wear my compression socks and I can't see to shave my bikini area......how is everyone coping with this? We live on a river so we are in the water constantly, I don't shave completely, but I would like to keep things trim down there, lol.
Questions:
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? I'm going to be really basic too and say Harry Potter, but it's because I truly believe it. Even now as an adult I could reread them countless times. It's just a nice way to escape from every day life and go somewhere magical.
@mayoduck hmm I've never heard of that book series
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 22+4
Due: 6 Nov 2021
My old BMB was so large that I think we initially moved to private BMB to get more comfortable and vet more from viability and then we moved to Facebook right before babies. We still chat daily so it's been great (there were 30 of us that transferred).
I agree that a poll is good. I’m pretty open to whatever everyone else is comfortable with
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a hedgehog 🦔😍
Upcoming appointments: 8/12
How are you feeling?: Had to finally call the Dr and admit the Tums were no longer useful. I think, like @chartput, the Florida vacation has playing into my body's rebellion. I've also been battling some wicked motion sickness/nausea but I think returning more to my typical snacking through work has helped vs the larger meals while on vacation.
Rants/Raves: not so much a rant but a little disappointment... We have a really awesome bird at work and I want it soooo bad but my husband is being a downer. Usually I would get it anyways because I'm an adult and he can't tell me what to do, lol, but I know we don't need it. Ugh.
Questions: We have a super tiny house, 1 bedroom.... those of you who have done this before, do you feel it is imperative to find a place for a glider/rocker or have you found that you could go without?
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? Love a few different series by Hugh Howey (Sci-Fi, dystopian) and the Peculiar Children books.
As far as the "clean up" question... I second having husband do it!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A demi-baguette, a half sized french baguette. SURE.
Upcoming appointments: Early August check-in.
How are you feeling?: Meh. I am having visa D R A M A. I have a visa that expires in November, NOT IDEAL. I can stay in the country until 2023 but if I try and leave I need to renew my visa at an embassy, namely the US embassy in London. So therefore, with the baby and the risk of delta variant, I won't be able to go home. Also, the US is not open to visitors from the UK at the moment and apparently they are not currently recognizing my parent's AstraZeneca vaccine as valid, so I am just trying to keep from breaking down in tears during my working day.
Rants/Raves: See above!
Questions:
GTKY: What’s the best book or series you’ve read? I really enjoy a good crime/murder book. Tara French has a good series, but I really also enjoyed Sue Grafton's Alphabet series based on PI Kinsey Millhone. Sadly, she died before she could finish the alphabet
Due: 6 Nov 2021
I could try and go home but I risk not being let back into the states as they know my visa needs renewing and I can't get the appointment to do that until next year. The lawyers strongly advised I stay put until 2022.
Let's hope the AZ vaccine gets trials that meet the scale requirements for the US and my parents can come see me and the babe.
I'm so happy your parents can come visit, quarantine sucks but I'm glad they can do that with you! I bet you can't wait 🥰🥰
