    Baby is the size of a: lime? Weird sizing in this app as it is the smallest line ever apparently 
    Team blue/pink/green: will find out! 

    Upcoming Appointments: had one today with both my GP and an ultrasound... Bonus ultrasound due to my SCH causing some spotting issues, so got to peek in on baby today to see them flailing around like crazy. NT ultrasound next week and then finally seeing my OB at the end of next week. I'll probably go get my NIPT blood work sometime this week too.

    How are you feeling?: Bit of an anxious mess over the weekend with the spotting flaring up for the first time this pregnancy, but better after seeing happy flailing babe this morning. Still exhausted and have intermittent nausea, but that seems to be easing up and I'm starting to feel better overall, other than the tiredness. 

    Rants/Raves: rantish... My boss asked me today if I was preggers when I was leaving for my dr apt... I flat out told him no as I'm not ready to share our news yet and frankly I think it's none of his business... Just a little miffed he thought he could ask me what my Dr appointment was for. 
    Rave: we live far from family, so my brother in law surprised us with a visit this weekend and it was nice to see him playing with my DD. 

    Questions: NATM

    GTKY: What is your favorite beverage? (Can be boozy or non-boozy!) I love tea, I have a rather embarassingly large tea collection.

    @megh061816 Have you tried gummy prenatal vitamins? You may need to take an iron supplement alongside them though, because I don't think any gummies have iron. I took iron supplements with my first pregnancy and they're small...but might make constipation worse.

    Baby is the size of a: bobby pin
    Team blue/pink/green: finding out
    Upcoming Appointments: Thursday!
    How are you feeling?: Better. Nausea and fatigue are almost completely gone. I keep getting cravings for red meat and I have a feeling this means I'm anemic again  :/ Looks like I'll find out on Thursday when I get bloodwork done.
    Rants/Raves: I think I've come to a breakthrough with my job: with any luck, I'll be able to secure a promotion after I come back from maternity leave, if not sooner!
    Questions: none right now
    GTKY: What is your favorite beverage? (Can be boozy or non-boozy!) Boozy: sauvignon blanc. Non-boozy: vanilla caramel tea!

    EDD / Weeks + Days: EDD 5/3, 12w3

    Baby is the size of a: lime

    Team blue/pink/green: finding out soon!

    Upcoming Appointments: NT scan on Monday with an mfm

    How are you feeling?: physically pretty normal, still pretty tired by the end of the day but nausea is a lot better. Emotionally getting anxious for the NT scan results and part of me is still struggling every time I go in for a scan because of the MMC I had in May that was found on a dating scan. Feels like I’m holding my breath as it gets closer every time now.

    Rants/Raves: Getting antsy for my NIPT results which I’m on day 10 waiting for at this point. 

    Questions: natm

    GTKY: What is your favorite beverage? (Can be boozy or non-boozy!)  Arnold Palmer, tea with raw honey and lemon (I’m missing it so much right now) and suddenly Sprite is appealing even though I don’t normally drink soda
