Cravings/Aversions/Symptoms: No major cravings/aversions, although coffee doesn’t taste as good as it used to. Not getting as queasy as I was before. 🙏
Upcoming appts: Nothing until July 5
Rants/Raves/Questions: My 2yo has been talking about the baby and kept kissing my belly this morning. 🥰 On the other hand, when we talk about how small the baby is, he pretends he’s holding the baby in his hands and then throws, dumps, or eats it. 🤣
I’m eager to start getting things ready for the baby but there is so much I’m waiting to decide until we know whether it’s a boy or a girl (US in early August). So hard to wait!
Me: 30 // Hubs: 31 Married May 2019 Baby #1 due April 19, 2022
Team pink/blue/green: we have a house divided. Me and Twin B are Team Blue. Twin A and Daddy are Team Pink.
Baby is the size of a(n): Baby is the size of a small lime, about as tall as a Lego figure and as wide as a paper towel tube.
Cravings/Aversions/Symptoms: So. Much. Snot. Not nauseated or anything. Just constantly gagging on my own snot. I feel like I need to continually eat something to avoid the feeling. Finding low carb things I can constantly munch is becoming hard.
Upcoming appts: Genetic testing blood draws next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions: What's your fave low/no cal snack that you can consume constantly?
GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger? I've been told both Brooke Shields (eyes and eyebrows) and Kate Winslet (probably the hair and more round face). I don't see it as much. But it's flattering.
Cravings/Aversions/Symptoms: craving Brown Sugar Pop-tarts & still queasy and tired. But nothing else new.
Upcoming appts: NIPT blood draw tomorrow. We did an NT scan and no NIPT last time, so new to me!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I announced at work and everyone was so sweet. I work with 85% women (the best!), so folks are genuinely excited and happy to talk about babies.
GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Dakota Johnson when she’s blonde and without bangs. Got that people after 21 Jump Street came out.

Lemon Popsicles sound good. I need to see if I can find some that are almost no calories. Been living off of otter pops lately just because I can. But it's too much sugar to keep doing. Also found some sugar free jello that wasn't bad. Only 5 calories. Was a guilt free way to stop the gag before bed last night.
Baby is the size of a(n): lime and a tall as a rubix cube
Cravings/Aversions/Symptoms: Really uninterested in anything super meaty or greasy and mostly just want fruit. I've been eating mangos constantly - in chunks, in smoothies, in cereal. So many mangos!
Upcoming appts: June 27 for appt and ultrasound
Rants/Raves/Questions: So many rants right now about the systems in my country that don't serve families...I live in the US and navigating terrible parental leave options and exorbitant child care. This is baby #2, so I feel like I'm even more furious and indignant about it now knowing how challenging it was and how financially and emotionally painful it is for families to exist in the US. Not to mention the disproportionate impact for women. It'll continue being a rant in my mind, but appreciate the space to share!
GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger? Jenna Fischer
