Re: ~*~Monday Ticker Change~*~
1. What week/produce are you this week? 18 weeks, a sweet potato (this is probably the only sweet potato I will ever like)
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? Anatomy scan next Tuesday
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? Only sometimes tired, usually great, but I have noticed my digestive system has a bit less room, and baby's movements are more noticeable.
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? At work, our team buys a family their entire Christmas-- food and all the gifts. I usually buy something for the community "angel trees" too. My MIL and I used to participate in a shoebox campaign too, but now we don't live in the same country, so we've stopped doing it. I should really get organized and do it again next year.

4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? We try to support local charities and drives as much as we can. I work on a college campus, so there are always plenty of things going on this time of year!

For DH's side of the family we have never really done the presents thing. We always donate to a charity close to the heart, and then help out at a local shelter. On my side we usually do a "secret Santa" gift exchange. This year we are taking that money and buying a goat, some chickens and mosquito nets for those in need in Africa. We are also making a gift basket with all the fixings for a nice Christmas dinner and basic hygiene products, as well as a few toys for a family in need in our area. My kids will also be picking out toys to donate to those in need.
1. 20 weeks and a banana
2. We had our AS last week and are on team blue with a healthy baby boy! We don't have another appointment for about 3 weeks
3. I haven't had many issues lately. Just some back pain
4. I work for the county government (in human services) so we do a huge toy drive for children in foster care. They take any gifts, but you can also pick from a tree with kids' specific wishes. I chose a 14 yo girl and a 14 mo boy. Need to find the Tonka truck the boy wants still!
1. What week/produce are you this week? 22 weeks, a papaya!
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? I have a level 2 u/s, on December 7th, to get a better look at the calcium deposit on DS's heart. Then I have my standard OB appointment on Dec. 10th.
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? I've been feeling HUGE!!! I've also been feeling more Braxton Hick's contractions. I know they are normal, but they still make me nervous. I was put on bedrest for contractions (the real kind) at 30 weeks with DD, and I'm really hoping that doesn't happen again.
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? We have a canned food drive going on at work right now. I also give money to my old salon, because they buy Christmas for 5-6 families every year. I'm also gonna make DD donate a crap load of toys before she gets new ones this year.
Morning!!
Week 19!! I am a mango this week - my kids are obsessed on asking how big the baby is every day. So we wound up buying the fruit of the week to leave on the counter so they can see.
Big U/S this week on Friday - we should finally know if we are team blue/pink
My afternoon exhaustion is still in full effect. I hit a wall around 2:30 - 5 that is horrible. But besides that, I am doing good - finally getting some energy back on " non wall hitting" times
Our family does adopt a family every year through our church - we know the ages and "favorite things" of the parents and kids. We get them some neccessities and some gifts. This year, we spent some of our additional time gathering supplies for Sandy victims close to us.
1. What week/produce are you this week? 22 weeks. A papaya?

3.How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? I'm actually feeling great. I've popped... people can see my bump, so exciting!!

2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? a couple more weeks yet
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? I'm feeling pretty good, no real complaints. I think I ate my weight in carbs this past weekend, but no crazy cravings.
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? My vet clinic is having a local photographer come in to do holiday and/or Santa pictures of pets - the donations will go towards our local dog park. Last year our church hosted a Christmas party for a local nursing home - I haven't heard if we're doing that again.
1. What week/produce are you this week? 18 weeks- sweet potato
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? YES!!! a/s today at 3:30, I am so excited I could burst!!
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? I am feeling pretty good over all. I've noticed I'm developing raised veins on my legs & my feet HURT by the end of the day. Sciatic nerve is getting better with physical therapy. Oh, and I am hungry all.the.time- I get a headache if I get the slighest bit hungry. I am not looking forward to the visit today with the midwife when regards to my recent weight gain : (
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? Growing up we ALWAYS participated in food drives & fundraisers but sadly my husband and I have gotten away from that as we drifted apart from the church. I would love to get back involved more though. We always find a can drive to donate to but I would like to do something more physical such as serving at a soup kitchen or volunteering to sort donated items.
Good morning, ladies!

New symptom in the last couple of days-dizziness. I am definitely going to talk to my Dr about it on Tuesday
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year?
I usually do an adopt a family thing where we buy gifts for a family. And my job usually collects money and buys food for the less fortunate. I missed out on our volunteer event to feed the less fortunate on Thanksgiving. That was too bad.
Have a happy and healthy week!

Good afternoon, ladies!
1. What week/produce are you this week? 21 and a banana!!
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? Meeting with a dietician/endocronologist this Friday
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? Pretty good. Hips don't hurt as bad anymore at night. Heartburn is starting to kill me though-usually hits at night when I'm trying to lay down. Other than that I think I'm just cruising along and still trying to figure out a name.
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? I work for a non profit and we usually do something special for the holidays for the clients we've worked with. I also always put money in the bucket for the bell ringers whenever I see them. DH makes sure I have cash during the holidays just for this reason (I usually don't carry cash).

Have a happy and healthy week!

This is similar to MH and I, too. We have a lot going on in our lives right now so it's been a little difficult to try to get out and help others, but I hope once we are more stable (in many senses of the word), that we will be able to start helping out others in need.
1. What week/produce are you this week? 21 weeks.. I think it's a banana?
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? Not until right before Christmas.
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? I feel ok, I've been wicked tired recently, not sure why that's happening. I think I've been getting BH contractions at night, but I'm not 100% sure. (Being a STM, one would think I'd know what to look for lol) Besides that, things are going well.. trying not to overindulge in all the holiday goodies, but let's be honest, that's hard!
My first time participating in this!
1. What week/produce are you this week? 21 weeks - Pomegranate
2. Any appointments or u/s coming up? Not until next month. Just had u/s last week
3. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms or cravings? Feel great. Finally feeling baby kick (and seeing her kick). No weird cravings except LOTS of sugar but I think that's just because it's been around.
4. GTKY: How do you "give back" during the Holiday season? Does your family do any charity work or buy any gifts for families in need at this time of year? We normally at least send a care package overseas. We need to get better about this as it was a part of my childhood and I would like to have it be a part of my child's life. Thanks for bringing this up, I'll have to look into options for this year!
