Rants/Raves: My son just had his 3rd birthday party and loved every minute of it. It makes me feel good that even when I'm pregnant and feel awful, I can still do something for my little man that makes him feel special and loved. I know tired mama hasn't been any fun lately.
Questions: None really. Just lying here, eating Oreos and trying to feel better.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Cheese. I HATED cheese as a kid and now I love it. Also chocolate. I was a weird kid.

courtneyqdk · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: July 19th, 7 + 6

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out, hoping to do the NIPT bloodwork after 9 weeks

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: keyboard key? I thought this meant piano key all day and was so confused but I guess it's a computer key haha

Upcoming appointments: Dating ultrasound is finally booked! December 16th - why does that feel so far away?

How are you feeling?: Last night was actually the worst nausea I have felt to date. It was horrible I couldn't get out of bed! Luckily my in laws were around to keep 3 year old busy and my husband did dinner and cleanup and everything because all smells were making me gag. Even the smell of my own pillow!

Rants/Raves: @binxybaby it was my son's 3rd bday too! Well it is today actually, but party was Saturday. Seeing the pure joy on his face during cake and presents was just the best thing in the world. Makes me so excited for Christmas but it is going to be an overwhelming month of stuff to do!

Questions: Why does time move so slowly during first trimester? I cannot wait for that dating scan to reassure me that things are as they should be.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Olives! Also cilantro. A lot of things actually, I enjoy almost all food (when I'm not pregnant). These days it's crackers and cheese and ginger ale and basically whatever I can stomach.

inthewoods23 · December 2021

@binxybaby hope everything goes great at.your appointment Wednesday! Crazy that we've got people in the double digit weeks! Exciting!

@stardustskies ha I used to also hate mushrooms. Those only recently grew on me in maybe the last 3 years.

@courtneyqdk I had the same thought when I got that baby fact! DH had to help me with that one haha

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: July 14/8w4d

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: team finding out!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: baby is the size of a peanut (presumably a shelled one?)

Upcoming appointments: Thursday for a 9 week ultrasound growth check. I think I'm supposed to have my progesterone and estrogen checked again too. Need an order for it though

How are you feeling?: The last 5 days or so I have felt like total garbage. It's been tough and idk how DH expects me to be completely fine through Christmas and not say anything to family. I'm always totally fine in the middle of the day but mornings and evenings my stomach just feels terrible and I have developed an aversion to ham now that we've had a smoked ham for multiple meals. Also the dishes haven't been washed in a while and are starting to smell making me want to puke 🤢

Rants/Raves: we've passed my loss milestone! Rant and rave - Christmas shopping is done. Of course I had almost no help from DH with it 🙄. Can it be Christmas yet?? I need the time off so bad!

Questions: I asked this in the exercise thread - any good prenatal yoga videos on YouTube?

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? I used to hate fish. Like won't even eat fish sticks. I hated the smell.too. And now we eat quite a bit of salmon 🐟 yum!

jellie603 · December 2021

@binxybaby happy 3rd birthday to your son! I'm glad he loved it!
@stardustskies As I get older I think that I can do mushrooms but every time I am given the opportunity, I still pass haha!
@courtneyqdk ooo happy 3rd birthday to your son too!
@inthewoods23 the dishes smell is getting to me too, ugh. I hope you your Christmas time off comes quick!

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: EDD 7/26 / 6w6d

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a honeybee!

Upcoming appointments: First appointment is 12/13 - one week!

How are you feeling?: Physically - okay. I can eat 2 meals a day usually and then nighttime is when I feel gross. My boobs are sore, I'm incredibly thirsty and I'm fairly tired. I am also so moody which annoys me. Mentally - not good. I won't get into the long of it but I will say thank goodness for my supportive husband and for my therapist haha.

Rants/Raves: December is a wicked busy month for us and I am trying to figure out how to navigate it without feeling like total garbage and also not bite everyone's head off.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? The first thing that comes to mind is chunky stuff like salsa and spaghetti sauce! I liked the taste but wasn't interested in the chunks. Now I scoop that ish like its my job.

sjb2215 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/11, 9 weeks today

FTM/STM/STM+: third time mama

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: leaning towards finding out, probably not until anatomy scan

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: cherry

Upcoming appointments: not until 12/22. Has anyone done an appt at a women's center/elective US center? We have DHs immediate family Christmas the weekend before our appointment and was hoping to tell them then

How are you feeling?: Still nauseous and sleep has been hard lately.

Rants/Raves: done with Christmas shopping, but lots of wrapping to do. Any other mamas celebrate St Nick? My family always did growing up and to see my boys' eyes when they saw St nick gifts this morning has me so excited for Christmas (like @courtneyqdk)

Questions: see above

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Most veggies haha, like salads

@stardustskies @jellie603 mushrooms are still one food I have no interest in!

@inthewoods23 solidarity to the holidays and not feeling well. We've had a couple get togethers with friends and family the past few weeks and I'm so over hiding pregnancy, fake drinks etc. I'll be 11.5 weeks at Christmas so thinking we are going to share then

zwink1 · December 2021

@binxybaby and @courtneyqdk, happy 3rd bday to your boys!!

@inthewoods23, ugh, with you on the feeling like crap for the holidays. We had our work party last friday... at a bar... so on top of not feeling well there was the bonus of avoiding suspicion on behalf of everyone that I work with. Luckily, most of our immediate family already knows, and we're not planning on getting together with much extended family so I won't have to do much faking it from here on out.

@sjb2215, I feel like we did St. Nick when I was younger, but for some reason my memory has us not doing it on the 6th but rather doing stockings on like Xmas day. Now I have to chat with my mom to see if I'm remembering right, lol! We did St. Nick with DS this year, but he's so little we only put one thing in his stocking. He's totally digging his book and monster truck advent calendars though!

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/15 - 8w3d

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: still up in the air. We were green last time around and may be again, but I'm giving H the final call for this time around, so we'll see what he picks.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: baby can fit on a dime... at least, I think that was today's fact, maybe it was yesterday's, idk.

Upcoming appointments: I just had first apt with my OB today actually. Next one isn't until 1/17, but I have to get the NIPT testing scheduled some time in between there too.

How are you feeling?: ugh. Like I have a hangover every day without the benefit of having had the fun to justify the hangover. I'm constantly nauseous, and I feel like I've had the same low grade headache for a century.

OB spotted a SCH on today's ultrasound too, which actually helped me feel a bit better about the bleeding issues I'd been having and will help minimize freak outs in the very likely event that any more bleeding crops up in the next couple of weeks.

Rants/Raves: Everything looked good at today's u/s, so that's a relief. I was a little nervous when the bleeding continued after my 6 wk u/s at the RE's office, but that mystery appears to be solved. Otherwise, not much going on here, just enjoying the calm before the storm at work and trying to decide what days around the holidays to take off.

Questions: nope.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Most of the foods I hated growing up I still hate, but I'm not picky so that list is pretty short (it's mostly just onions and cilantro).

inthewoods23 · December 2021

@jellie603 that reminds me that I used to think avocado/guac was gross. Boy have I seen the error of my ways lol.

@sjb2215 my MIL still does St. Nick for us. I don't think it's happening this year since they haven't set up their tree or hung the stockings. At least that's how it was as of last night. My family never did it but my parents do put stuff in our stockings for when we open gifts.

@zwink1 since I'm a day ahead of you in due date, I'm pretty sure dime was yesterday for you because the next one said on a penny and today for me it says a peanut

stardustskies · December 2021

@inthewoods23 Yes, me too! I forgot about that! I also used to hate avocado/ guacamole and I love it now!

zwink1 · December 2021

@inthewoods23, you're right! I checked when I popped back on this afternoon and it's penny today.

tuxielove93 · December 2021

@sjb2215 I have had an elective ultrasound. It was nice! They can’t tell you anything medical, but they can tell you that baby is there and find the heart beat and the size/due date. If you’re just looking to make sure baby is there and the heart is beating away, it works.

runnergirl2018 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9 weeks today, 7/11

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out -hopefully in a few weeks with NIPT

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: an Olive. which is fitting since it's one food I've actually occasionally wanted this week

Upcoming appointments: 12/16 - 3rd US to check on an SCH - it was smaller at the end of last week so fingers crossed it's either smaller again or gone

How are you feeling?: Like a pile of garbage. so tired but not getting restful sleep, more nausea and actual vomitting this week - it gets me at night because I just get tired of eating and nothing ever really sounds good. boobs still sore and occasional growing pains in my low abdomen. I"m also way gassier, so that's fun. I just love first trimester. I am feeling emotionally better after our last US with baby growing well and having a really strong heartbeat. Still nervous since last pregnancy was a loss but feeling hopeful right now.

Rants/Raves: rant - first trimester, the end. rave - even though an SCH feels kind of scary, it feels like a blessing in disguise to get US so frequently and have everything still looking good after how things turned out last time

Questions: how do women do this with multiple children?? I work between part time/full time hours and have a 3 year old and am so exhausted and glad hubby is taking over any night time drama with the toddler but oof!

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Green beans and coconut (but not together) In fairness, all we ever had growing up was canned green beans and i still think they're super gross. I only grew to love coconut in the last 5-10 years and love it now!

runnergirl2018 · December 2021

@inthewoods23 OMG the smells lately. I had to make hubby sit across the couch from me yesteday because I couldn't stand the smell of his soap. My toddler also wandered off to poop in his pants this evening and was halfway across the house and i could smell his poop. fingers crossed none of my patients are stinky this week because I'm going to be in trouble

@jellie603 yes on the food as a kid thing! I used to hate the chunks in salsa and sauces - now i'm all about them! I could eat pico de gallo by itself too

sjb2215 · December 2021

@tuxielove93 that's good to hear, thank you! Yes would really like to hear heartbeat before we share the news

creativesoul63 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/20 7w+5d

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out at 20 wks

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: an earbud

Upcoming appointments: 12/17 is first U/S and OB appt. Can’t wait to see the heartbeat and ease some anxiety!

How are you feeling?: Nausea, gas and bloating continues… I don’t remember it being this bad with DD? Time definitely moves slower in the first trimester.

Rants/Raves: I work in events and my busy wedding season is over, and now I’m dealing with holiday parties which are much easier but I’m honestly just ready to be done for the year. And you know, would really love COVID to just go away so I could stop explaining our cancellation policy and mask mandates to people… I’m enjoying all the new TV that’s been coming out! H and I watch the Voice religiously, and we’re also watching Wheel of Time and Hawkeye. Excited for the new season Mrs. Maisel in February and hopefully Bridgerton not too long after that!

Questions: none right now

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Oh I’m sure lots. Avocado is one for sure. I used to not eat lettuce and tomato on sandwiches/burgers but started liking that in high school. I still hate onions though.

sunshineandlemons · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7w6d. 8 weeks tomorrow!! EDD is 7/19

FTM/STM/STM+: STM+

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out hopefully late next week!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a keyboard key

Upcoming appointments: 12/21

How are you feeling?: Tired. Stressed. I had some spotting this weekend and didn’t sleep well because I was so worried. I talked to the doctor and she put me on pelvic rest. I can’t lift my 2yo unless absolutely necessary and forget about my 5yo.

Rants/Raves: We are getting our new fridge tomorrow! The rant is they called and the delivery window is 8a-8p… what?? Hopefully it’ll be afternoon like we signed up for when we bought it.

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? The only thing close is Brussels sprouts but I started liking them in third grade, so I was still a kid. Otherwise, I’ve not liked what I’ve not liked forever- milk, mushrooms, sausage on pizza lol…

peppylilfoxy · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days:
July 23 2022/ 7w3d

FTM/STM/STM+: technically FTM but I don't like that term because I did have a son and I personally think that we all become mom's regardless of the outcome the minute we get that BFP

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out. We all think it will be team pink though!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of:
A raspberry

Upcoming appointments: we just had an ultrasound yesterday and will have another one next Tuesday to keep an eye on the sch.

How are you feeling?: Emotionally, we are messes. *Tw* yesterday my friend (GC) passed a huge clot and bled quite a bit before the ultrasound. Turns out she has a 4cm subchorionic hematoma behind the gestational sac. Baby is fine and growing on target with a HB of 156 but we were terrified. Both my friend and I have a history of loss (her - 2 early losses before her healthy now teenage daughters and me - 7 losses at varying gestations from 5w to 39w) and even though we are told it's common, the blood scares the crap out of us. My friend said "if this kid ends up being a girl, auntie is getting her a short that says 'drama Queen'!" *End tw*

Rants/Raves:

I am so thankful for my wonderful supportive mom and sister in law and my friends amazingly supportive husband. It made yesterday's scare so much better to navigate through.

Questions:

Have any STM or STM+ had an SCH with previous pregnancies before? I have not had them with any of my previous ones nor has my friend with any of hers.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy?
Peppers!

cmhme · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 9+weeks, 7/7

FTM/STM/STM+: STM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Green

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: your thumb nail

Upcoming appointments: Discharged from RE so long wait until 12/23 appt with OB

How are you feeling?: Hang in there everyone! I was so sick for weeks but on Sunday the cloud started lifting and I started being able to eat real food. Today food actually started tasting/smelling good.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? with @runnergirl2018 my mom only did canned green beans which were horrible. Fresh green beans are completely different!

@inthewoods23 Congratulations on passing your milestone!

runnergirl2018 · December 2021

@peppylilfoxy i'm a STM but this is my first SCH in pregnancy. They are watching it closely and it has started to shrink in size. From what I understand they only rarely cause issues. Sometimes they get absorbed by the body and sometimes they bleed out - but the bleeding out doesn't mean anything is more dangerous. It certainly is scary though! sending all the happy thoughts to you!

laeberge3 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: After last week's dating scan, my EDD bumped up to 7/24, so 7+2

FTM/STM/STM+: TTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: In true TTM fashion, I haven't a clue.

Upcoming appointments: Thursday for official first appointment - I get another ultrasound!

How are you feeling?: Like crap. It could be pregnancy, it could be a cold, it could be anxiety, but I am feeling run down.

Rants/Raves: I have basically all my Christmas shopping done! And I'm not super busy to end this year, which helps a lot because I have not been feeling it at all lately.

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Beans. I hated any type of bean growing up but now quite enjoy black beans and can stomach the rest (except baked beans because yuck).

@sjb2215 We do St. Nick! Growing up in a heavily German Catholic community, it seemed like everyone did it. As I got older, I learned it's not that popular, actually. We never did stockings on Christmas Day but now, I do those in addition to the St. Nick stockings. For St. Nick, we always got an apple, orange, some peanuts, candy, and school supplies, so I've continued that with my kids. For Christmas Day, I do small practical gifts in the stockings.

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/22, 7w4d

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Team I'll take anything, but I expect a girl. 😁 (I've posted before, my family only has girls.)

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A jellybean!

Upcoming appointments: 12/15 is the first appointment with the OB. Already met with the NP to get the date and make sure she's not ectopic.

How are you feeling?: Pretty good. Nausea when my stomach is empty, cramping. Not sure what my mouth/teeth are doing lately (sore gums), but I have my dental check-up later this month.

Also, we've been following keto for a while, so switching back to carbs (for healthy fetal growth) has been enjoyable.

Rants/Raves: Rant: Not sure if it's the progesterone supplement or just pregnancy, but I'm having super vivid dreams and nightmares. 🤷‍♀️

Rave: My sense of smell is a superpower. 😆

Questions: None at the moment

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Tomatoes and cucumbers. Still hit or miss depending on cucumbers, but I love tomatoes!

quelinda99 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 8+3, July 19

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

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

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: jellybean

Upcoming appointments: STILL waiting on first appt, Dec 13. Time moves sooooo slowly

How are you feeling?: I am fighting near constant nausea, even after taking B6 + unisom for almost a week. It is hard to eat although I know it helps. It's bringing my mood down for sure. I am struggling and very stressed about our appointment next week. Work is totally falling by the wayside.

Rants/Raves:

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? I don't know. My brain is mush and I can't think of anything for these last few. Really need some good news around here.

zinnia19 · December 2021

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/20, 7w6d

FTM/STM/STM+: FTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Not sure yet! We haven't had the discussion yet. We shall see...either way I'm buying the baby lots of gender-neutral clothing.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a keyboard key

Upcoming appointments: I had my first ultrasound today! yay! Everything is looking good so that is a relief. And I was pretty on target with what I thought my due date was. I had been tracking my ovulation for months so knew the timing. But the doctor was like "we don't go off ovulation dates" and wasn't convinced until she measured the baby on the ultrasound, lol. My first appt with my midwife, which will be more in depth, is on Jan 4th.

How are you feeling?: OK overall. Have mild nausea throughout the day. Snacking constantly! But now trying to make sure my snacks are filling enough (with protein) to last me a couple hours. I'm starting to feel self conscious snacking so much at work! haha.

Also, I get really tired at night. Last night I went to bed at 8:30 and it was ridiculous but awesome.

Rants: I get so tired after work and then I have to drive home a half hour in the dark. I've started to get nervous about driving, now that there is a little one growing inside!

Rave: My hubby and I both took the day off work today for my ultrasound appt and it was super relaxing. Definitely needed some recharge time (even though it's only tuesday!)

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Asparagus! My grandma overcooked it until it was grey. Turns out it tastes way better when only slightly cooked. It's even good raw! I love it now, especially when it is in peak season here in VT in May.

tuxielove93 · December 2021

@peppylilfoxyI personally haven't had an SCH, BUT I've been in 3 BMBs now. Lots of SCHs over that time, all healthy happy babies. No losses from an SCH that I remember. I do distinctly remember a twin mama having a severe one and both babies are happy healthy two year olds now. I hope that helps a little.

@velvetblue88 Your gums getting irritated/bleeding is a normal pregnancy symptom.

@quelinda99 you're almost there mama!! Your placenta should start taking over right about now and that should slowly start making you feel better. Hang in there!!!!

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 7/7, 9+5 (I've quit lol we're sticking with this even though I'm positive it's earlier)

FTM/STM/STM+: TTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out! Still want a boy (we only have boys) but my mama intuition is starting to think it's a girl

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: idk she's taking up room though lol

Upcoming appointments: off to schedule the nuchal screening after I get off here and I have my first midwife apt 12/21

How are you feeling?: I almost feel like a normal human today!! Almost.

Rants/Raves: Rant: the damned cat shit in the tub this morning. I did not know this when I went to use the bathroom first thing (which is always a roll of the dice whether I'm gonna get through without vomiting) and between the normal smells and then her crap AND THEN the cat herself refusing to get out of the sink! I threw up. Completely unnecessarily cause I felt fine before I got in there. She's trying to make it up to me and laying in my lap but I'm still so ticked at her.

Rave: have to say it again. I almost feel normal today!!!! Almost almost almost there.

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Omg everything 😆 I was such a picky kid. Between being vegan for about five years and just growing up, I now eat almost anything. Except dairy, idk if it's lactose intolerance exactly but I can't digest the stuff right. Speaking of, if any mamas have to give up dairy when breastfeeding (when we get there) I'm your girl. I know all the dairy free options and the sneaky ways they put it in.

peppylilfoxy · December 2021

@tuxielove93 Thanks so that does ease my mind to hear quite a bit 💕

velvetblue88 · December 2021

Thanks, @tuxielove93. Doesn't make my flossing/teeth-brushing feel any better.

I'll ask my hygienist anyway. I'm sure they'll say to use non-alcoholic mouthwash more regularly. 🤷‍♀️

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: finding out

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: blueberry

Upcoming appointments: I was supposed to have my first ultrasound and appt this morning but I had to cancel

How are you feeling?: Miserably nauseous. Thankfully not constipated anymore

Rants/Raves: I have a lot going on right now. Morning sickness…my 6 year old had a seizure yesterday and was in the hospital overnight for tests and is now on preventative medication…my mom is going thru chemo…we are about to move…oh and it’s almost Christmas 🙃 Thank you for coming to my pity party.

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Salad

Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: July 20th/8w

FTM/STM/STM+: TTM

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out! Fighting the urge to order a sneak peak bc I was probably mess it up lol

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a raspberry or a small Lego brick

Upcoming appointments: 12/17

How are you feeling?: so incredibly nauseous, the past weekend was the worst it’s been so far, woke up nauseous and went to bed nauseous. It isn’t quite as bad when I’m doing things but anytime I stop to think about it, it can be overwhelming. Good aversions are also making everything exponentially more difficult. The exhaustion isn’t quite as bad this week though I’ve had a few random bursts of energy.

Rants/Raves: we have to go back to our hometown to celebrate Christmas with DHs family this weekend and I’m not looking forward to any part of it. They don’t care for me and I definitely don’t care for them, a long history where they do a lot of shady things to my DH and he is more forgiving than me.

Questions:

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? Broccoli and cheese, I hated it as a kid but love it now!

binxybaby · December 2021

Hi all! I didn't want you to feel I'd fallen off the face of the earth. My dating US this morning moved my due date from July 1st to June 26th so I will be moving bump groups! I wish you all the very best in your pregnancies and I'll miss you!!

inthewoods23 · December 2021

@binxybaby GL in your pregnancy! You will be missed!

sjb2215 · December 2021

@binxybaby good luck in your pregnancy!

Good luck @binxybaby! Hope you pop back in to say hi every now and then. We’ll miss you!

FTM/STM/STM+: baby #5

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: definitely finding out!!!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: idk but still so small!

Upcoming appointments: finally made my first appt - it’s on dec 22! They were able to squeeze me in which was good since the next available appt was Jan 6!

How are you feeling?: tired, cranky, nauseous on and off. Mostly cranky. Also thirsty.

Questions: I’m starting to wonder just how long I can go without telling anyone. 12 weeks? Maybe 15? For a number of reasons we aren’t anxious to share with family or at work and I feel like I’d like to be as far along as possible before making the announcement. With #4 my waistline was expanding at 8 weeks so by 12 weeks I was ready to pop and couldn’t keep the secret any longer. Hoping for a more subtle belly this time.

. I work from home, so not so worried about revealing anything on zoom.

GTKY: what's a food you hated as a kid that you've grown to enjoy? I hated kielbasa and shepard's pie growing up - and I make both regularly now!

@feather_heather mmm those both sound good right now. Shepherds pie is on the meal plan for the next time I actually cook 😆
