  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: The background nausea persists.  I also need to remember to eat more frequently or I get more nauseous.  Also learned at the gym this morning (finally got back after the terrible illness my girls brought home a few weeks ago!) that going any near upside down is a no-go.

  @knottie21d2a8f947a0480d everyone has told me start a registry or list when you hit second trimester. Get through the misery of the first and it’ll be something fun to look forward to. I like Babylist their guides are helpful! Curious what the post-FTMs think!

  @rachel_honey I also have to wait until around the first week of April for my first midwife appointment so I feel your pain! My only silver lining is that I’ll (hopefully) be feeling better since I’ll be entering the second trimester and can be my best self for the appointment. 

  
  

  For YouTube I like Beth Grace Moore! Would love to hear if you have any recommendations too. 

  
  

  And I am right there with you with feeling awful. I woke up this morning and literally thought to myself “how in the hell am I going to get through this”. Just hoping and praying it’s goes away soon. But it’s validating to know I’m not the only one.

  @alisonmarie_1 and @knottie21d2 I think I started my list of items around now with my first.  I had an excel sheet with the major items, and when I'd finished my research on one I'd note what I was going with (carseat, stroller etc).  I didn't have a real registry with either of mine (no showers or many people buying stuff for us) so I mostly used a registry site as a shopping list for myself to track what I'd already purchased.
