    @paytonpedro funny story about that song. It’s not about dogs. It’s about ugly women in the club. I don’t remember when I learned this but it never left me

    @and_peggy has your OB said anything about monoclonal antibodies?
    @wisewitch222 with baby #1 my first u/s was at like 7w, i don't recall movement... this one will be at 9w so i'm assuming totally different
    @wigglyicecream caste is on my list, supposed to be very good! i hope you enjoy expecting better, i read cribsheet, it was good but not as good as expecting better imo - have not read oster's 3rd book. i also really enjoyed bringing up bebe.
    @paytonpedro that's great about free tests and masks! it's still like hunger games trying to get them here, we have a little stockpile from ordering online at sams club.
    @bridgiebee82 um that no heat sitch sounds miserable. they didn't close school for it?!

    @leahrnmom Add some freeze dried fruit to it! Like strawberries, apples, etc.! That's what I do.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8/21 / 8w 1d

    Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry 

    Team: finding out 

    Upcoming Appointments: first US is on Wednesday! They JUST updated the visitor policy, so my husband can't go. 

    How are you feeling?: nausea has been really getting bad. Last pregnancy I puked a total of 2x. This time around it's tending to be twice a day. I simply can't function, so today I got an Rx for Reglan. Hoping it works!

    Rants/Raves: Rave: DH is really stepping up where I simply can't do things, thanks to the nausea. He is 100% in charge of feeding and changing #2 diapers for DS. I'm so thankful, and tell him every day how much I appreciate it. I can tell it's overwhelming for him right now. 

    Questions: anyone else familiar with Reglan? Curious about your experiences.

    GTKY- What are you reading or listening to this week? What keeps DS occupied. Right now it's videos of car washes on YouTube 😅

    @darkrose88 I’m so glad you asked your np to look for the heartbeat and I’m even happier she found it!! So awesome!! 

    @malloryfrommn no advice on the reglan but I’m lol-ing at your ds’s current choice of videos haha. I remember my ds1 only wanting to watch videos of airplanes landing and taking off haha. Or he went through a fire truck phase too.

    @starkette I’ve definitely distanced myself from people who made me feel anxious during covid. I’ve even gotten off fb. I’m glad you were able to take a step back! Everyone on here is talking about bagels and now I want a bagel!! Maybe I’ll try to get my kids out the door early tomorrow and get one from a coffee shop 🤔

    +1 to distancing over COVID stuff. I got rid of all my social media bc it’s too overwhelming.

    @mangoandguava I’m lol-ing at your whole response here. Haha. Totally always forget to switch the laundry lol. Sorry your pants were the devil and it’s looking like yh won’t make it to your first appt. Maybe you can record it? Not that it’s the same but then you can still enjoy it together.

    @paytonpedro thanks, I’ll be here all week! 🤣 Laundry is the bane of my existence. I suspect if a week were ever to go by where I didn’t forget a load of laundry in the washer, MH would think I’d been replaced by aliens or a foundling or something. The good news is all my dresses and leggings are dry for tomorrow!

    I did get to have a surprise ultrasound at my pregnancy confirmation and I did record that one and we watched it together on the big TV in our living room, which was a nice alternative. Plus I have it to go back to whenever I want. So. 

    @meagan-firsttimemommy8-22 I have been wanting to get back into Downton Abbey! Where do you watch it? (Please don’t say Prime.)

    @lmaplejc thank you for validating that feeling. It’s so weird for me. I think it’s me trying to protect myself. As far as my pregnancy pillow… we are supposed to put them away when we aren’t pregnant? I sleep with mine every since I got it in 2018.  I plan to start caste now that I’m slightly feeling better. Which is also a mind f*ck.

    @mangoandguava I'm writing a book about sixth century religious worship in Gaul, but to write I have to do a lot of reading, so it's pretty much always back and forth. Last week I wrote several pages. Then today I wrote one paragraph and then requested six library books and had to stop because I need those books before I can write the next section. 

    @lmaplejc I saw Doris Kearns Goodwin a couple months ago at my university. She was so interesting, but I was really disappointed because instead of letting her talk for 45 minutes about her new book (which is what these talks are normally like) they did this "interview" with her and it was like a lame talk show and such a waste of having a visit from a brilliant writer!

    @lmaplejc +1 for running out of indoor activities. Also too exhausted to do indoor activities 😅 To answer your question, I haven’t pulled mine out yet. But probably only because it’s buried. But I probably will soon. I feel like in my last pregnancy journal it asked what my advice would be about the first tri and I wrote to pull my pillow out sooner. I’ll check on that. Lol.

    @paytonpedro @lmaplejc do either of you belong to the nugget club? When I run out of ideas I pull them out.

    @wigglyicecream I kicked my pregnancy pillow out after delivery, but I’m missing my old friend.  Good thinking, we have 2 nuggets but they are in sofa mode.  I’ll have to up my construction game.

    @wisewitch222 Glad you got to see her, but ugh, that sounds like a waste of her talk.

    @paytonpedro mine is also buried somewhere in the depths of our basement.  That is the main reason we haven’t reunited.  That, and I’ll have to wash it, which is a chore and I don’t like chores.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 8/8 10+0

    Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry

    Team: green! 

    Upcoming Appointments: TOMORROW! I'm so excited.

    How are you feeling?: last week my nausea switch abruptly to frequent hunger. Aversions aren't gone but aren't as restrictive either. It is a welcome change. Also hello round ligament pain! I didn't miss you. 

    Rants/Raves: tough day over here - DS was exposed to COVID at daycare last week and is considered a close contact. He's out all week. It's my first week back at work after a nice long winter break and now it's going to be a big ol struggle. I haven't gone more than 3 weeks without a COVID related daycare disruption and it's so exhausting to work through this! Ugh. Also, DS's COVID test tomorrow is scheduled for the same time as my OB appointment, so DH can't come because he'll be taking DS to the pediatrician. Being spouse-less and masked and such at OB appointments feels like deja Vu all over again with my 2020 pregnancy. I'm so excited to go tomorrow, but sad DH can't come, stressed about needing it to go quick so I can get back to work or take over DS so DH can go back to work, and I can sometimes get queasy/fainty with blood draws so hoping tomorrow doesn't go that way while I'm by myself. Sigh.

    Questions: stm+ - anyone feel like you're changing shape/showing already? I have a tummy so I wouldn't say I'm showing necessarily, but it feels like the belly is growing much sooner than I expected. The "warmed up effect" seems real maybe??

    GTKY- What are you reading or listening to this week? Listening to Hey bear sensory videos in the background while reading email 🥴🙃

    @wigglyicecream I wouldn't say I feel DISconnected to this pregnancy, but I feel less connected than I did with DS. I think it's normal to not be able to sit so squarely and fully in "being/feeling pregnant" when you have other kid(s). Personally, I'm hoping my first OB appointment tomorrow helps, as well as other pregnancy experiences (ultrasounds, kicks, bump, etc). Also I'm about halfway through caste. A really compelling and important read!

    @leahrnmom nuts (almonds, walnuts?), Crunchy peanut butter, coconut flakes...chia seeds won't make it crunchy but will absorb some liquid!

    @mangoandguava that's so cute about you and your FIL having a book club! Also loling at your post. Sorry about the scheduling struggles. MH also works at a bigger company than me and his schedule makes no sense to me. 

    @meagan-firsttimemommy8-22 oh girl team green is so fun! The planning isn't much different (I'm very type A and had very little issue with it) and the delivery room moment is so so awesome. Great reward after 4 hours of pushing.... but that's a story for another day 😅 also I watched Downton in my early postpartum days with DS last summer! @mangoandguava I think it's on Peacock

    @mehugg I am 8 weeks tomorrow with #3 and it’s getting hard to hide my belly. It’s still soft and squishy and mostly bloating I’m sure, but it’s sticking out in that way that makes someone think “I wonder if she’s pregnant?” I thought I was the only one who could see it but I definitely saw a mom friend this weekend looking…
