k, Those pictures š DS1 has always loved babies. So much. When DS2 (they are 3.5yr apart) was born and he got to meet him, he couldn't stop cooing over him and saying how cute he was. He would get upset if anyone talked above a whisper because he didn't want the baby to wake up. It was the best reaction ever. He refused to not hold him for the longest time lol And he was SO helpful during my leave! He'd fetch diapers, wipes, anything he could reach. It's only been in the last few months that he's started to show frustration and irritation with DS2's 18 month ways.....DS2 is far more vocal than DS1 ever has been and it's a source of irritation for DS1 lol Ah yes, when they start stealing each otherās toys, hitting, wrestling...thereās a lot of that too.

So, I don't really like La Croix but it helps me when I'm nauseous so I drink it anyway. I got the grapefruit one today and if I close my eyes and detach myself from the experience of the taste, I can pretend it's just really shitty beer and that it'll help me deal with the absurdity of my customers and coworkers.

CharlieB, Yay for blue! How exciting! hrh, Hahaha Seriously š I keep finding myself browsing the non-alcoholic versions of everything I like. My mom had a rough work week last week and before we left for camping, she said she almost brought wine along until she realized she'd be alone in drinking it since my dad is on blood thinners and I'm, you know, knocked up.

Just popping in to remark on how ridiculously good it feels to take my bra off at the end of the day.

The US tech guessed girl at my last appointment but weāll find out for sure at the anatomy scan in a few weeks. And yeah this cold is no fun. Hope you all are feeling better soon!

@amc, I wouldn't even give it a second thought about if I was overreacting if I'd had that diagnosis! Better safe than sorry.

@amc, Ugh. That's so awful. I can't even imagine š«
I cannot stop eating today. Seriously, every half hour or so I'm starving. So far, in the last two hours, I've eaten: Yogurt, giant cucumber, strawberries, breakfast burrito, rotisserie chicken sandwhich. Lunch is in a half hour and I have a frozen pot pie. Cannot wait. So hungry. This bean must be going through a growth spurt.

@amc I'm sorry, that sounds so frustrating!
So I'm not sure exactly what this LaCroix is, but today I tried Spindrift sparkling water with real raspberry and lime, it's 9 calories and was so delicious I wanted to cry.

@amc I am sorry you are already experiencing symptoms. If it isn't an issue cost/timewise, my stance is to just check. I'm not a hypochondriac and don't think you are being one, either. You have a very legit history and reason to be cautious and take preventative measures. It sounds awful, I am sorry.
I'm also going through something similar; I had to request to take the glucose tolerance test today because my last pregnancy I was diagnosed at 12 weeks. They were still going to not test me until 18-20. I am terrified of the size of this one and am not good about regulating myself without knowing it is an issue and having accountability. They let me do it but said they'll do the next at 24 weeks... Nope. I will be requesting one at around 18 weeks and the 24 thank you. I'm annoyed that I have to be the proactive one here given my history!

...and this is why I pushed for the test. "It came back high. I'm surprised but you were right to push for it early." YUP. Thanks Doc.

I'm totally late on this but I totally relate to everything being said. I frequently go back and forth not feeling connected to this pregnancy, to did we make a mistake?? Is he going to be ok? Is he even growing? It's so many feelings I didn't think I'd feel. Last night I was getting into bed and my H was laying on the bed with our two dogs putting on a nature documentary and I was thinking "this is perfect, is having a baby going to ruin this" and immediately felt guilty and ashamed for thinking that especially because I want this baby so badly.
