    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: those sweet little hands that will be grabbing my fingers soon are fully formed 🥰

    Upcoming appointments: GD test next week or the week after, lucky me. 

    How are you feeling?: so far so good honestly. Heartburn and exhaustion are my main symptoms. Still not really gaining weight but baby is a good size and doing fine. The bump is bumping. So I’ll take it! 

    Rants/Raves: finding space in our house for another human has me constantly going through my things and setting aside for donation. But I have no idea what size clothing I’ll need post-pregnancy and it’s stressing me out! I do not have room to keep everything but I don’t want to eliminate a size I still need. So tired of organizing 🙄 But it’s worth it!

    Questions: none right now!

    GTKY: if you got a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

    I would love to go to Southeast Asia like Bali or Thailand. Somewhere tropical with amazing food. I’ve never been, and the thought of relaxing in a gorgeous place sounds truly magical.

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: Length of a Dell XPS 3 laptop


    Upcoming appointments: 2nd trimester blood tests and ges diabetes test on Thursday. Midwife Friday. 


    How are you feeling?: Big! Tired! Don't know if breathing issues are from illness, babe or both. 


    Rants/Raves: I hate toddler jetlag. Been waking up at 4am since Sunday. 


    Questions: None! 


    GTKY: if you got a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I'd choose the UK. Visit family and see all of the different areas I haven't been to yet.

    Team Green/Pink/Blue/Finding Out: team blue! 💙 

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: he weighs as much as a portable scrabble board or something like that. I very much question the daily facts TB gives us haha.

    Upcoming appointments: 1/30. I think I get the glucose drink at the appointment to hold on to for the GD test at 28 weeks

    How are you feeling?: TIRED. I think this baby is more up into my chest so I run out of breath so fast!

    Rants/Raves: sorry I've been so absent! Life got crazy both at work and in my personal life (just closed on my first home!) so I haven't had time to pop over here. Things are just chugging along though.

    Questions: nah I'm good!

    GTKY: if you got a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would love to go to Iceland again (need to replace failed marriage honeymoon with better memories) and see the northern lights! I'd also love to do one of those private over water bungalows in the Caribbean or the Pacific Ocean. My BF was looking at that for a possible vacation someday but of course the private bungalow is like $1,000/day to stay there 😳

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: As long as a large chinchilla
    @inthewoods23 The TB baby facts are so weird. Like if you have to specify a large chinchilla it's not a good comparison. And then is it from nose to tail? Or like just it's body? Who knows!

    Upcoming appointments: Next one's not for a couple weeks I think. 

    How are you feeling?: Still so tired. Unfortunately the nausea came back a bit so that's been unpleasant. Hoping it goes away again soon. 

    Rants/Raves: Rave: went on vacation and it was very nice. I did get sick which is a bummer but still lots of great moments with family. Toddler is a mess today. I'm so proud of him for holding it together on the flight, he started crying the second we stepped off the plane. He must have been feeling miserable, poor thing. 

    Questions: None 

    GTKY: if you got a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
    Disney I think. I'd love to go back to Europe and South America but I don't travel very extravagantly. I could blow a lot of someone else's money on an awesome Disney vacation though. 😂

    @inthewoods23 Congrats on closing! What kind of house did you go for?
  • @ferret22 it's a ranch style home! On over an acre 😍. PLENTY of room for all the kiddos to run around. Can't wait for it to warm up so they can burn energy outside!

    Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: baby is the length of the diameter of a vinyl record 

    Upcoming appointments: 1/27, repeat anatomy scan and OB appt

    How are you feeling?: good, apart from my constipation

    Rants/Raves: Rant: I’m currently in triage for severe constipation…I’m scared it’s rectocele which is a type of prolapse. Regardless, this is extremely uncomfortable physically and socially. I’ll spare you guys any additional details. Rave: my husband returns home from his work trip tomorrow! 

    Questions: none

    GTKY: if you got a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I’d choose the Maldives because it’s the most expensive place I want to travel to, so perfect if someone else is paying lol my second choice would be Japan.
