Baby is the size of: Cherry!
Team blue/pink/green: Healthy💚
Upcoming Appointments: Next week! 9-26 our first prenatal appt
How are you feeling?: less nauseous this weeke actually. But dealing with constipation, trying to drink plenty of fluids and eat well.
Rants/Raves: my husband has been so supportive and he is so excited. I was scared he would be a bit terrified and standoffish but has has really come through already!
Questions: No, I am worn out absorbing information 😨
GTKY: What is your favorite fall activity? Curling up on the couch with our cats and dogs, sipping hot tea and watching movies!
EDD/Weeks+Days: 4/29 8w6d
Baby is the size of: gummy bear
Team blue/pink/green: Not sure yet if we'll find out
Upcoming Appointments: I just had my first one 2 days ago. Next one is in 4 weeks for NIPT and general check-up
How are you feeling?: Really tired and some nausea. My son doesn't sleep through the night yet, so I'm operating on minimal sleep all the time anyway.
Rants/Raves: it's nearly 100 degrees here. I enjoy hot weather, but this is kind of ridiculous!
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is your favorite fall activity? probably just going for seasonal drinks and/or baking.
@sambo0423 Don't feel guilty about eating what you want. I struggled a lot with being limited in what sounded good to me last pregnancy, and I worried I'd just eat junk the whole time. But once morning sickness got better, it was much easier to make healthy choices.
@allykat92 It's so easy to get into information overload! You've got time to figure things out.
EDD/Weeks+Days: 10w4d, due April 19
Baby is the size of: a tart kumquat 😂
Team blue/pink/green: not sure 💕💙 some days I’m team pink, others I’m team blue! My symptoms mimic that of my son but with waaay more nausea and no headaches so far.
Upcoming Appointments: I have a vaginal appt + heartbeat this week and my first trimester ultrasound in 2.5 weeks (I’ll be 13 weeks)
How are you feeling?: pretty good, just more anxious this pregnancy. Haven’t seen/heard baby since 5weeks6days during our confirmation ultrasound 😭 so anxious to hear the heartbeat this week!
Rants/Raves: pregnancy bloat is no joke - I forgot how bad it can be ha! One day last week I felt & looked SO pregnant and my jeans were not comfortable to wear. Way too early for this haha!
GTKY: What is your favorite fall activity? I love going to get pumpkins and decorating our porch, fall baking & reading thrillers!
