Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: celery this week

Upcoming appointments: waiting for 20 week anatomy scan on 12/17. My appointment this past Monday went well.

How are you feeling?: still tired. Nausea is pretty much gone 🥳 but there are foods I just don’t want still. I have pretty reduced appetite. Kind of anxious this week too. The weeks between appointments get hard.

Rants/Raves: I’m not super hungry and I fill up quickly. I haven’t gained weight yet. I started out with a high BMI and my dr said it’s not concerning yet but now I’m anxious about it. I hate that we go so long between ultrasounds. And I was feeling flutters for a week at least, now I’m not in the last five days. Obvi I’ve gone to worst case scenario in my head although online it says it’s so common to feel nothing for several more weeks and position of the baby can affect what you feel. Hard to just assume all is well even though I know it there’s nothing concerning. Ugh!!! This is my least favorite thing about pregnancy.

Questions: anyone else go in and out of feeling baby early in 2nd trimester? When should I worry if I’m not gaining weight? (I’ll message my dr)

GTKY: a whole day!?!? 🤗 I’m definitely picking a book and going somewhere quiet and peaceful to read. Maybe get a pedicure. Go out to a meal somewhere and just slowly enjoy by myself. A yoga class would be lovely. I’m having trouble finding a prenatal class that fits my schedule so I’d see if I could do that!!! And some tv time uninterrupted - perfection!!!

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: as long as a soda bottle.

Upcoming appointments: 12/3

How are you feeling?: Great, lots of energy, been very active.

Rants/Raves: Rant- having to do Thanksgiving with my in-laws without a drink 🤣

Questions:

GTKY: Since I am still childless I am lucky to have days to myself all the time. But it would be exactly what I did this weekend- a long hike in the morning then relaxing and binging a show in the afternoon and cooking a new recipe for dinner.

Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: asparagus

Upcoming appointments: tomorrow, finally!

How are you feeling?: good symptom wise

Rants/Raves:
Rave: It’s been 5 weeks since my last appointment, so I can’t hardly wait to check on baby girl tomorrow morning!

Rant: My in-laws are coming to stay with us this week for Thanksgiving (which is fine!). However they were supposed to arrive tomorrow afternoon, but now they’re arriving today. They don’t know about this pregnancy yet, and I was really hoping to check on baby one more time before telling them. Now I don’t get to do that since I’m already showing (I live in Florida where it’s too hot to cover with big clothes). So I’m just anxious about announcing when baby hasn’t been checked on since I was 9 weeks. I have no reason to believe anything is wrong, but anxiety between appointments can get the best of me. Especially when it’s still early, and I’m not feeling movement yet. Trying to stay positive though!

Questions: none

GTKY: If you had an entire day to yourself and you already had a great night of sleep, what would you do? Most likely, absolutely nothing. I’m exhausted and rarely get a break, so I’d love a lazy day to just rot on the couch.
