Kat-well after a marathon weekend, I've been pretty lazy. Made a trip to the pet store in efforts to entertain the boys & also grocery store. We all took a long nap lol. I ordered my weeks estimator off of eBay last cycle. I'm nervous to see what my last one says. None of us really need more tests, but just.can't.stop 🤣
Ash-I love that you told your fam & that they were all so supportive! You are supermom doing all of that while feeling nauseous & tired!! At least with weekly appts, you'll see to see/hear your sweet babe more!!
Sky-family has left. We had a blast, but relieved to have my time & space back to myself since I've been SO tired! Awesome that your DH helped you catch up on some rest. My DH went off to work, so I was up early & entertaining the boys after a whirlwind weekend & really just wanted some sleep! Thank goodness for naps!!!
Bluebooties-I'm so sorry for what you're going through, but please know that we're here for you! I have anxiety issues and take a small dose (25mg) of Zoloft which is also used for depression. My OB said that I didn't need to wean off of it if all is well. My gp always said meds help for the short term, but talking to someone (therapist) may help in the long term. I have never taken that step, but agree that talking to someone may help me cope with anxiety. I feel like it's something that runs in my dad's family & I've researched & developed my own ways to cope. All of that is beside the point, I agree with everything pbn said! It takes strength & courage to realize that you need to take care of yourself first and get yourself back to a happy place b/c your kiddos (and precious miracle growing in you) need you. I like to think of the flight attendant oxygen mask safety analogy. You know how they always say to put YOUR mask on before your children? You can't help them or anyone else until you've helped yourself [emoji173] You can come here & vent anytime!!

Ash so happy the announcing went well and no gender comments???!!!! 😮😮😮 Most people that make them really don't feel they are being rude but then they generally come from people who either have one of each gender or don't have kids at all 😂 I too am not looking forward to it. My sisters, and probably my mum once we know all is well, will definitely say they hope its a girl. We have one girl (the oldest) and six boys between us girls so I'm definitely going to cop gender comments. My payback will be making them wait till birth to find out mwah-ha-ha!!!! 😈😈😈

@Lolabelle wowsers!!! Sounds a full on weekend was had by all but what a great couple days you've had! Now kick back, put those tired feet up and give yourself a well earned rest ❤

Kat that is so funny and just adorable that your dh is letting slip 😂😂😍 Love it!!

Sky and everyone else post a bump or bloat pic 😂 Sky I had hoped mine was bloating too and still am but I'm losing hope that its going to go down 😂

On a happy note I've managed to lose 1kg in six days by counting calories and fat intake!!! I am doing the recommended 1800 and up to 60g fat and have gone over a couple times so not being strict or restrictive in any way I did have some chocolate last night though that will surely tack onto this week 😆 but it was worth it lol!

I'll be stalking for updates on your next scan/appointment! I'm Xing everything that this is your sweet rainbow baby!

You look so cute! I've been doing the same as you and have only gained 13-15lbs so far at 24 weeks! I'm super happy about that!! From now until 34 weeks I'll probably only gain another 5-10lbs. I typically stop gaining weight around 34 weeks. My appetite goes south as I become so big!!

Oh, and to the ladies that have a funny taste in their mouth, I had that with DS1-3. It was like I had a mouthful of quarters [emoji13]!

Thanks xxforhubby xxoo and I hope I can look even half as good as you 😍 (seen your bump shot in your ddg thread and you look A-mazing!!!!! I have the weight to lose as I put so much on since December'ish so hoping to get rid of some of it before next trimester and increase in calories 😂 I thought I'd get a fully clothed shot as I am not going out today however if I did go out like this and run into someone I knew they would definately be asking questions. And I really don't want anyone to know until at least after Thursdays check up and more hopefully not until I get my nipt results.... hope winter gets colder faster so I can start wearing big jumpers 😂

No kat I didn't ask [emoji52] I had a couple good days there but I'm right back to feelings my like poo. Hopefully it'll pass by 12 weeks so only 3 more to go 🤞
Pbn I had one gender comment and it was from my aunt whom I'm close to that also has 3 boys she said she loves all her nieces but hopes it's another super sweet blue bundle [emoji170]
And oh my word I have bloat soooo bad in the evenings! I feel somewhat normal when I wake but by bed time I'm super bloated and gassy ⛽️[emoji15]
@xxforhubby I am so jealous on the weight gain... in my dreams I'll only gain that much but I've already gained 6lbs from visit of iud removal to fridays visit [emoji17]
Blue I agree with everyone it'd be better to get checked out and pos on meds for the depression before it gets worse. Gl to you hope you feel better soon
