How are you feeling?: I was feeling pretty well but then I forgot my unisom one night and felt like garbage the next day, now I'm coming down with a cold from my kids so still feeling kind of yucky even with unisom on board But, we did a private ultrasound yesterday and baby looked baby like with a healthy HB so we told our other kids! Our oldest was excited (although then was asking questions about sex and making babies), our 2nd was like "you said you were done" after our 4th, and the 3 yo and 1 yo are clueless
Rants/Raves: none
Questions: none
GTKY: on a scale from 1/10 how excited for the Christmas season are you? 10. I love Christmas with kids. And I took off the week of Christmas and I love not working
How are you feeling?: I’ve had some good days which are positive but then the bad days feel really bad after having days of feeling good.

GTKY: on a scale from 1/10 how excited for the Christmas season are you? 10! I love Christmas just not getting it together as fast as I usually would which is frustrating! Morning sickness around the holidays is so not fun!
ftm/stm/ttm+: hopefully 2nd kid, but this is my 4th pregnancy after a couple losses
Baby is the size of a (an): tetra fish
Team blue/pink/green: green so far, but I just did NIPT and should be finding out next week.
Upcoming Appointments: December 13 doing the nuchal translucency ultrasound
How are you feeling?: ok, mostly tired. Can’t make it through the day without a nap.
Rants/Raves: I was going to wait til Christmas but decided to text my mom the ultrasound photo. She had to remind me I’m old (37), but otherwise it went well. My sister will also come visit due date week so that will be great.
Questions: Any good ideas for super warm maternity coats? It’s already hard to zip mine, and I live in MN and hike a lot, so it needs to be WARM. Might do a coat extender but those aren’t cheap either.
GTKY: on a scale from 1/10 how excited for the Christmas season are you? I’m trying. It’s a little bit of a bummer with how expensive everything has gotten and I believe it will become more so, but I’m trying to pour myself into decorating and baking and crafting. I used paint markers on the windows this year and that was fun.

-10! I LOVE Christmas!!!!! Christmas and Halloween are my favorite time of year. I'm slowly decorating, it's taking waaaayyy longer than usual. Because I'm so tired. But it's coming a long! 😁☃️🎄🎅🦌🎁💚
@shieldmaiden95 I miss the appetite a little bit, I lost mine completely and am no longer hungry until I'm shaking from a blood sugar crash which I do my best to not let happen but it's kind of annoying to feel zero hunger yet also crave things till I get them and I can eat one bite 😵💫 I thought that wouldn't happen till the third trimester but here we are lol. I found out I lost a ton of weight at my appointment today.

Baby is the size of a (an): lemon 🍋
Team blue/pink/green: green forever but my intuition has always been right and it says boy. I won't find out officially but I'm pretty darn certain I'm having a boy.
Upcoming Appointments: 1st and 3rd weeks of January for prenatal and anatomy scan. It's crazy it's only a month away now 😵💫
How are you feeling?:
Rants/Raves: my daughter has been going through a hard time lately on top of teething canines, she has woken up every hour through the night and had two nights where she was up and fussy from midnight to four am so I'm EXHAUSTED. I wake up in the morning feeling shaky from lack of sleep, it's a rough patch.

GTKY: on a scale from 1/10 how excited for the Christmas season are you? I was never a Christmas person, it was traumatic and hard for me but now that I have kids it's 10/10, I'm so freaking excited and we have been decorating everything. They make everything so much more romantic and magical!
@kalesix3 Ugh. Yes. My appetite was gone. But has came back kinda. I have to eat every 2-3 hours or my blood sugar crashes. It's been like this for weeks and it's been so annoying. I HATE it. I hope you get some rest. 🩵
@shieldmaiden95 my body doesn't mind if I don't eat normally but let me get pregnant or breastfeeding and then the shaky about to pass out episodes absolutely kill me to keep me accountable for nutrition and it's double hard lately because I'm like hey guys I'm trying and my brain says don't eat anything so like take it up with her 🙄 it's not every day but it's multiple times a week so I wish I'd actually feel hungry for things because I really really don't like blood sugar crashes. I hope yours chill tf out soon and leave you in peace, they're so scary and annoying 😭
