How are you feeling?: bloated… and almost constantly hungry but trying not to gain the entirety of my weight this first trimester
Rants/Raves: I’m traveling with my soon to be 7 yo and my 4 yo to Illinois this week to see my family and celebrate my nieces high school graduation, we haven’t been “home” since we moved to Florida in October 2020. To say I’m excited is a complete understatement. The kids are so very excited as well!
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: Who is your favorite singer or band? Rolling Stones is probably all time… next would be Dave matthews.
@bwow615 I'm also feeling constantly hungry... and keeping my belly full is the best way to stave off my nausea. So I'm worried about the first tri weight gain too!!
EDD / Weeks + Days: 1/14, 6+2

How are you feeling?: Decent. Nausea has picked up in the past few days so I'm going to have to make sure I have a plan for work...it's gonna be busy the next couple weeks so I hope I can hold it together!
Rants/Raves: Rave: My sweet DD graduates from pre-K this week 😭. She's excited and nervous. Rant: Next weekend MH leaves for a work trip so I'll be solo parenting next week! We'll be okay but I'm still a bit nervous about how things will go!!
Questions: When does NIPT happen? I didn't get it either of the last two times but I think maybe I will this time? I had the NT ultrasound at 13ish weeks last time.

Well, now hubby has accepted a new job offer with a different company and is no longer off on Wednesdays... My appointment falls on his second day of work in this new position, so this girl has to go solo now 🤣

Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry

How are you feeling?: Symptoms have definitely progressed. I feel like I’m in a permanent state of indigestion which makes me queasy sometimes.

Team blue/pink/green: Green for now
Upcoming Appointments: US next Thursday, at 6:45 pm, which is nice so my husband can come too
How are you feeling?: Totally normal
Rants/Raves: Happy that I got to see and hear baby's heartbeat at an US at my fertility clinic today! Printouts were insanely blurry/fuzzy, husband said it looks like a little worm. Hopefully they'll have better equipment at the US clinic next week. Doctor said the heartbeat was a tiny bit low (116) - hope everything's OK.
Questions: Can't think of any
GTKY: Who is your favorite singer or band? Sadly, I'm not such a music person anymore - I blame my job, which requires insane concentration. Definitely planning to fill the baby's environment with lots of music, though, and I know my music-loving husband will be great for that.
r_kenn99, your rant/rave made me smile
