Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: I have my first ultrasound and OB appointment on Oct. 6, and I can hardly wait!
GTKY: How did you and your partner/husband meet? My husband and I met on Tinder when I was 20 and he was turning 23, and we got married in July of 2021. It’s kinda crazy how many people I know that have met their spouse on Tinder/similar dating app.

Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: Finding out via NIPT.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Baby is a blueberry currently!
Upcoming appointments: I won't have my first until October 27 which feels like a million years away, I've been so anxious waiting.
How are you feeling?: Mild daily nausea is setting in. Food aversions and nausea are sometimes sparked by the weirdest things. I swear sometimes certain sounds can even make me nauseated! Also, my boobs HURT especially at night. I'm a side sleeper and any pressure on them has been awful.
Rants/Raves: A daily mandarin orange has been my little happy treat that I'm never sick of. I've had to start filtering out TikTok videos about newborns because I feel like I only see the negative ones and it's made my anxiety worse 😭
Questions: How do you handle having to wait so long for that first appointment and not be worried? I'm trying to really remain positive.
GTKY: How did you and your partner/husband meet? We were friends for many years, both of us in different relationships. When we both wound up single at overlapping times we honestly both fell in love hard and we've been so grateful to have had the chance to make that important connection.
Rave: I told one coworker who is currently on maternity leave and she offered all her newborn stuff because she's done having kids!
Rant: Really craving spicy tuna poke...

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Boo. Weight of a penny. We don't even use those anymore in Canada!
Upcoming appointments: Had first midwife appt by phone. dating ultrasound Oct 17, SIPS bloodwork Oct 20, midwife Oct 21, SIPS u/s Oct 24 (if dates are alright from week before).
How are you feeling?: Better! Turned off of the food my husband cooks but otherwise haven't been as tired. My first maternity leggings came yesterday cause I'm living in sweats now. My mom doesn't know yet and she commented on my gut yesterday. Rude!
Rants/Raves: Toddler elbows to the boob and/or nipple are no effing joke!
Questions: None.
GTKY: How did you and your partner/husband meet? We both lived at the same youth/traveler hostel in Scotland!
May 18th, so 8 weeks today
Second time mom ❤️ we already have a little boy
raspberry!
-had first ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days and got to see/hear the heartbeat 💓
-next appt is in two days! Can’t wait to see baby again
-I take half a unisom every night with B6 so generally I feel fine! It’s super effective against the nausea. Otherwise I’m tired but that’s to be expected. Just so excited to be here 🥰
