First Prenatal Appointment with Baby #3

August 8th, 2024

I had my first prenatal appointment last week and it went well! As I type up this post, I’m almost 11 weeks along. I don’t have any pregnancy-related pictures, so I’ll just include some life ones in this post so it’s not all text.

Mom and kids at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA

Visiting the National Aviary with Sadie and Mordecai!

Some thoughts: I am still struggling with nausea. You guys are going to crack up at this story. For some reason, the only thing that has been getting me through the day food-wise is soft pretzels.

So, I was ordering Doordash soft pretzels like daily. I thought, okay: this has to stop! So I bought a pack of frozen soft pretzels at the grocery store. Guess what Jimmy ordered in the mail the same day? A huge box of soft pretzels. LOL. Pretzel overdose! But not really because they’re just the best. If you live in Pittsburgh, the best soft pretzel in the city can be found at…. Sheetz (a gas station!!). No joke 😂 So to sum that up, the baby is 95% soft pretzel, Sheetz has the best ones, and Jimmy is way too good to me. (more…)

Pregnancy Diary: First Ultrasound for Baby #3

Thursday June 27th, 2024

Okay, I was able to have an ultrasound today to try and figure out how far along I am! First of all, let’s just take a moment to laugh about the fact that I had to go at 12:30 pm (Mordecai’s nap time!) with both kids and Mordecai did not want me to set him down. Poor buddy. He was such a champ through what was probably a confusing and tiring afternoon for him.

Anyways, we were able to see a yolk sac in my uterus! This is good news because the sac was in the right place. The ultrasound tech thinks I’m around 5 weeks and 3 days. So, very early on! I think I would be due in March?
