Upcoming Appointments: Glucose test, it’s drop-in so I think I might go this Friday.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good! The cold I had last week disappeared and I haven’t felt as nauseous lately. No real aches or pains either. I’m at the point where I sometimes forget I’m pregnant (until she kicks).
Rants/Raves: I can’t believe all the snow we had melted in one day! I didn’t leave the house at all at the end of last week because it was so icy it was dangerous. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m sure some of you have seen videos of cars and people sliding around outside in Seattle over the weekend, it was seriously bad!
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? With a book and cup of tea probably. My husband always works NYE. I don’t think I’ve had NYE plans for the last 10 years or so tbh. NYE parties are always boring, it’s too crowded at bars and restaurants, staying in is way better.

Upcoming Appointments: glucose test and 28 week check up 1/17 How are you feeling?: so much heartburn! I think my Christmas diet of cookies and candy wasn’t helpful. I’ll be excited to get back into real food this week Rants/Raves: I’m off work for two weeks and it’s so nice. I’m ready to lay around and forget what day it is.
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? We will have friends come over for dinner NYE and the husbands will watch a concert stream while the kids play. I also invited my brother, SIL, and their baby to come. It’s very nice and laid back.
@etnyah that’s crazy! Seattle has so many hills (compared to Denver) I can’t imagine them being all iced over.

How are you feeling?: so-so. I had a wonderfully relaxing 4 day weekend from work which I have desperately been needing! But finally getting to sleep and relax has made me realize how tired I've been. Also dealing with heartburn, way more than I am used to!
Rants/Raves: Rave about my hubby again 😅 He did all of the clean up of the house before our guests came and I didn't even ask. I came home Thursday and he had swept, mopped and cleaned the house. Did the bathrooms and re- freshened all the fragrances and did all the dishes!
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? We usually ring in the new year with a dinner of homemade cheese fondue then we play board games and enjoy some mixed drinks! Doing mocktails or cocoa this year though lol
How are you feeling?: starting to feel better after being sick all weekend. Outside of that, heartburn has definitely started to kick in, but feeling decent otherwise.
Rants/Raves: not sure it's either, but I came to the realization today that the third tri is just around the corner, and I can't believe it. Like, what? How??
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? We will probably just hang at home relaxing, maybe play a game.
@allykat92 wow, can you send your hubby my way??? 😆 Your NYE plans sound amazing!!!
@trubaby411 third tri is SO CLOSE!!!! Hard to believe.
@etnyah glad you stayed safe during that wild weather! Glucose
test time for me too. Not looking forward to it, but at least I know what to expect.

How are you feeling?: pretty good, but nervous about the gtt. Sleep has been interesting lately, too.
Rants/Raves: can't think of anything
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? I plan to stay home and have a quiet night watching Christmas movies I recorded and didn't get a chance to watch yet. Hubby is going to our neighbors to drink and hang out, which I have no desire to do.
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM EDD/Weeks+Days: 4/19, 23w6d Baby is the size of: a waffle iron Team blue/pink/green: Green Upcoming Appointments: 1/6 How are you feeling?: Heartburn continues to be an issue, but other than that good Rants/Raves: Having a great time in NY with DH's family, my son is loving spending time with his big cousins (he is currently the "baby" on my husbands side, until the new peanut comes in April!). He did awesome adjusting to the 3 hour time change too 🙌
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? we'll still be in NY so the whole family will be getting together and most of them will end up spending the night at the brother's house that we are staying with. After the kids go to bed we will probably play some cards or board games. TBD if I make it to midnight or tuck myself in to bed early 😆
Upcoming Appointments: 1/12 for my glucose tolerance test. Seriously dreading everything about this test. I’m terrible at having my blood drawn, skipping breakfast makes me feel so sick, and I hate the idea of having a second blood draw while feeling unwell. At least my husband has the morning off and plans to fast along with me.
How are you feeling?: I’m feeling pretty good! No major complaints!
Rants/Raves: I’ve had a great Christmas visiting with family and friends! I’m trying to soak in all of our “normal” traditions since I know that next year will be a little different.
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? I will definitely be at home snuggled up and relaxing. I’ll be asleep by 10 pm. 😂
@v_flowers you shouldn't have too fast for the 1 hour glucose test...did your ob specifically tell you to? Mine said eat how you normally would. I think it's only the three hour test you need to fast for, but maybe each OB is different?
@scaredunprepared For some reason my doctor told me no food after midnight. I’m so confused as to why I can’t just do the normal one hour test. I don’t have a history of diabetes and there haven’t been any concerns so far. I’ll survive, but I’m most definitely going to complain in the process.

Upcoming Appointments: 1/13 for glucose and regular check up
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling okay! I threw up for the first time this pregnancy on the 23rd and was psyching myself out for a while. I convinced myself I had all the things wrong with me, but when I woke up the next day feeling better and the anxiety started to diminish too, luckily lol
Otherwise, I've just been feeling a little more lazy. Idk if it's the pregnancy or the break from my work/routine, but I've been really enjoying just lounging on the couch.
Rants/Raves: I am super excited about the exercise ball and the hypnobirthing books I got for Christmas! We also found two rocking chairs we like! My rants is about my mom. She is planning our shower and is making me feel bad about it because it's stressing her out even though I specifically told her she didn't have to throw me one (my MIL and sister also are offering to help but she's not really accepting help). I'm excited for the shower but also excited for when it's over (it was a similar story with my bridal shower).
GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? We're just staying home and maybe having a couple friends over!
@mcmanda4321 what hypnobirthing books did you get? Sorry your mom is stressing you out. I had 3 baby showers for my son and I was always so relieved when they were finished. Although 2 of them were surprise showers.

GTKY: How are you planning to celebrate the new year? Probably not much! Looking forward to a more chill (probably asleep before midnight) NYE this year!
Guys!!!! Somehow, I passed my GTT! No GD this time! My triglycerides are through the roof, though. I really think taking magnesium every day is the reason my BS is under control. I might ask to be tested again at 30-32 weeks just to be sure.
