1st Trimester: What to Binge Watch
The first trimester of pregnancy is no joke. I had a lot of time on my hands spent being a horizontal potato which lended itself to eating carbohydrates and watching a lot of tv. This is my binge watching countdown that I like to call Nausea & Chill.
Honorable Mention
The office, Parks & Rec, Game of Thrones, Brooklyn nine-nine, top chef
These shows weren’t part of my Nausea & Chill, but I love them and they should be part of yours.

RuPaul’s drag race
Hulu | 14 Seasons | 190+ Episodes | Reality
Not the girls dancing in another one of Ru’s music videos. Sashay away.

Project Runway
Hulu | 19 Seasons | 180+ Episodes | Reality
These people are wildly talented…I think. Honestly, I don’t understand fashion. I only understand cardigans, and they did not make nearly enough of those.

90 Day Fiancé
Hulu | 9 Seasons | 79 Episodes | Reality
This is a hell I continue to put myself through to this day, but it’s the drama and dysfunction I crave. If an American is engaged to someone from a foreign country, they can apply for a visa. If granted the visa, the person from another country comes to the US, and they have to get married within 90 days.

The Zoo
Hulu | 5 Seasons | 50-ish Episodes | Docuseries
Behind-the-scenes look at The Bronx Zoo in NYC showing how the animals are cared for and the zoo’s animal conservation efforts. There was something so nice about seeing mama and baby animals while I was pregnant.

I still don’t know what the Vice President’s job is, but this one is a trainwreck.

Gilmore Girls
Netflix | 7-ish Seasons | 153 Episodes | Drama/Comedy
Mother & Daughter, Grandma & Grandpa, and a storybook small town full of quirky characters. I was obsessed with this show all through high school and college, and in 2021, this show still slaps.
