I'm so glad all went well with your follow up scan, whatsit! I'll be 22w6d at my follow-up so I'm hopeful they'll be able to see more, like they did with yours! And how cute and sweet is your little guy. Thanks! He got in the way a bit and got gel all over his sweater but it was still adorable. I hope I reassured you at least a little bit. I have no doubt they’ll be able to see more of what they need to at the next scan! Hoping the wait goes quickly!

Rama Yay! I'm so glad it went well! Is the repeat another a/s? If so, I'm sorry you're in that boat too, but hopefully seeing baby spin all over the place was very reassuring. I'm glad the MFM was able to answer all your questions, too. I'm sure the OB can write the prescription for the breast pump, they have to do it all the time. whatsit It is really reassuring to hear! Thank you again for thinking of me.

DH made coffee with an egg in it this morning. 😒
I am planning a "thanksgiving meal" for DH and I tomorrow. Not really, but I shared my sweet potatoes recipe on the thread on GD and so now I want some. And green bean casserole and a tenderloin.

Hope it's okay to post this here and I'm not sure if I need a TW or not. Let me know if I do or if I need to remove this post.
Today is the EDD of the first baby we lost. He/she should be turning 5 today. So hard to believe! These past 5+ years have led my DH and I down a path we weren't prepared to follow. I still remember the raw emotions and hard moments of losing our first and all we've experienced since then. I don't know the whole reason for posting this. Just to acknowledge his/her existence, I think. So many different emotions and all the feels right now I guess too. Thanks for just letting me put this out there. I think of my babies often and I'm the only one who remembers their EDD's and loss dates. I know many of us are loss mom's and get it. So, hopefully this isn't out of line posting here.

mattsgirl2004 i'm sorry for your loss. anniversaries are hard, i will be thinking of you today. clementine happy gender reveal day! i am excited to hear about your party (i think it is today?) happy saturday! we are just doing some more organizing around here this morning. h is on call and has to go in at 12 so i'll probably get a nap in while dd naps. we are officially starting the 2 to 1 nap transition with her and part of me is sad that i won't have some downtime in the mornings anymore, but it will be nice not to have to work schedules around 2 naps. i'm pretty sure she has been ready for awhile, i've just been dragging my heels. we have my nephew's birthday party this afternoon so i'm pretty excited for cake!

Thanks guys! ❤ I wasn't expecting anyone to say anything. Just needed to get it out there, if that makes sense? Out of the seven babies we lost, the first one was one of the most difficult and sort of the beginning of a long road to expand our family.
I wasn't trying to be a Debbie-downer though, as I am so grateful to be pregnant with hopefully our final take-home baby. I know how blessed I am to have three living children as well. I definitely don't take any of it for granted. Anyhow, thanks for letting me write out my thoughts here today. Appreciate it. ❤

I have the Thanksgiving sads. We've been going to DH's grandparents house for lunch, then we normally leave around 2 to go to his cousins house and eat dinner there. The foods not bad, but I really miss my moms cooking. Plus they don't make my favorites...I love sweet potatoes, rutabagas, and green bean casserole. Last year I made sweet potatoes but I think DD and I were the only ones that ate it.

polson, thanks!! It is today and I am super excited. Can’t tell if I couldn’t sleep last night bc of the bed at my parents or bc I’m anxious. Only 3 more hours!

auri sorry you're feeling blue. i would still make your sweet potatoes and bring them if they are your one of your favorites. that's weird there weren't more takers for them anyways - i feel like those are usually a crowd pleaser.

Any one else breaking out worse than hormonal teenager? No? Just me? Ok then. auri make the potatoes and enjoy them. Screw everyone else. When we travel for Thanksgiving, we always have an encore thanksgiving with our favorite stuff at home. Plus, then the turkey is half off and we have leftovers.

Leaf 🌱 I've been breaking out a ton this pregnancy. The only thing that seems to help is using my normal face wash and then using an exfoliant. I use Body Shops seaweed exfoliant.

You’re all making me sad I missed out on Canadian Thanksgiving this year (we were staying with a friend who doesn’t celebrate) Anyone up for a friendly guest at their table? I promise not to skin suit!

Heartburn is starting Last time I really avoided most of it by drinking water with a little apple cider vinegar in it. It wasn't super pleasant but it was bearable especially since it really helped with the heartburn. But now, I'm using apple cider vinegar shampoo so it tastes like I'm drinking my shampoo which makes me want to throw up. Ugh. I am such a Debbie Downer but man, this pregnancy.

So this is gonna sound strange, but I'm trying liquid calcium. Tums are basically calcium and the liquid calcium is supposed to help relax you to go to sleep at night. My SILs swear by it.

+1 for Monday.
I’m 98% sure this baby will be born with a dent in its head bc DD can’t seem to not knee or elbow me. She’s trying to be gentle but she’s SO tall and just all limbs right now
