Re: **Monday Ticker Change**
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling pretty good, except for being bloated from eating so much food over the holidays. I feel lots of "wiggles" now, I describe it as my belly being full of Jello Jigglers. I can't say 100% it is the baby, I've always had digestive issues, so who knows. I hope it is baby though!
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? MY A/S IS THURSDAY! SO EXCITED/NERVOUS!
Rants? Raves? None today.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I am usually not very good at New Year's Resolutions. The only one I've really kept was my 2012 resolution to run a 1/2 marathon before the year was out. This year, I think my resolution will be to write in my pregnancy journal more frequently. I want to always have a record of this time (the ups and the downs). My mother still has hers and she said she had fun re-reading it when she found out I was pregnant.How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling good now, but I've been having some stomachaches and RLP. Yoga is getting more difficult and I'm feeling like a cow. Baby is moving a lot now, and sometimes he makes it hard for me to sleep because he's moving so much at night.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? No appointments for a few weeks.
Rants? Raves? My mom and sister were able to feel the baby move on the outside last week. It was a pretty awesome to share that with them.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I'm not usually one to make the "lose 10 lbs" or "stop cursing" resolutions, but I like to make resolutions that involve small changes. This year, I'm going to try to speak up for myself more often. This will be especially important with a baby coming! I need to be more vocal about my preferences and decisions.Week? Fruit/Veggie? 22/Papaya
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? tired and so not ready to take down Christmas decorations. They'll probably still be up by the time baby is born at this rate. Baby girl is getting way more active and I'm feeling her every day now. Last night, I had my laptop propped up on my stomach and she kicked so hard it made the laptop get some air!
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? A/S was 2 weeks ago, she was measuring ahead and hitting all her milestones like a boss.
Rants? Raves? None today
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I never seem to be able to go through with any of my resolutions so I've given up. Maybe I can shoot for getting all the Christmas decorations down by February, but we'll see haha. I should probably consider decorating less for the holidays so there's less to take down. Ah well22/papaya
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet?
Some RLP but other then that good! Feeling little man a lot more lately which is fun!
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates?
Not until 1/14
Rants? Raves?
Rants: still can't decide between the two boy names we have. Husband is so conflicted!
Raves: worked on the nursery this week! It's getting there
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it?
I don't tend to do these. I think it will be to continue my workout ruitine and get back to regular weight after baby:)
Week? Fruit/Veggie? Week 19; Mango!
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I started feeling baby this week more and more. DH also thinks he felt him/her. I was hesitant to believe it (although I wanted to) because everyone keeps telling me it will be a while. My mom said it's possible because I'm thin so I'm going with her opinion! haha
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Regular doc checkup tomorrow. A/S next Monday (but trying to reschedule for this week!)
Rants? Raves? Rant: Anytime I talk about baby, some on my in-laws (mostly my MIL) say "oh it's my baby!" I get that she's excited an everything, but this baby is MINE and my DH's. He/she is your grandbaby and you will love the baby to death but he/she is still mine. Really random thing but it irks me a bit.
Rave: I have another whole week off of work...by the time I go back that's 16 days off!
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I want to go back to church like I used to.Week? Fruit/Veggie? 22/Papaya
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm feeling great, besides some back pain. Baby girl is very active. DH has felt her a couple of times, but she usually stops moving when he tries to feel her. It's pretty funny.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Next one is the 14th. At that point I won't have seen my Dr. in 8 weeks, which makes me a little nervous. She had to leave for a delivery before my last appt, but the tech said that everything looked great.
Rants? We can't decide on a name. We have whittled our list down to 4. One of them DH really likes, but none of them seem like "the one". We are down to: Alaina/Elayna, Rachel, Alyce, and Kaelyn/Kaylin. Why are names so difficult?
Raves? I love being a teacher and getting Christmas break! DH went back to work today, so I have the whole house to myself!
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? Just the usual: eating healthy and exercising (both of which I am terrible at).Week? Fruit/Veggie? 21/pomegranate
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I still feel pretty normal mostly, just some heartburn. I feel the baby most days now, which is really nice.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? None.
Rants? Raves? It's -14 degrees here. grumble. Also, DH and I had our version of a fight last night (very low key, but still upsetting) so I feel like shit today. Tired, swolen, pregnant shit.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I usually have ongoing personal improvement projects instead of waiting for the New Year. Right now I'm working on being more confident, and trying to get some exercise instead of sitting around the house all the time. It's looking like I might have to make a resolution to get the thank you cards written though. I made a list of who gave us what but that's as far as I've gotten so far. Blarg.How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Movement is getting pretty consistant, I'm usually guarenteed after breakfast and when I lay down for bed. And lots of randoms throughout the day.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Next week
Rants? Raves? Raves: Made curtains and changing pads for babies room, and have the burp rags cut out. Plus my mom has the sheets about done. Just need to get painting done so we can start organizing. For not really getting into things at first, now I want things done early so I can relax at the end.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? Just getting back to being healthier for the rest of this pregnancy. Consistent exercise, more fluids, better at taking vitamins every day, and eating better. I was pretty good about these things before m/s derailed them and I want to get back to them being part of my lifestyle.Week? Fruit/Veggie?
21, pomegranate (how is that bigger than a banana?)
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet?
Feeling pretty good, and this week I've been feeling the baby quite a bit more (particularly after sweet things, like lemon sorbet)
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates?
Not until 24 weeks and the big glucose test...
Rants? Raves?
Rant: It's snowing again. Why can't it be spring yet?
Rave: DH got to feel LO kicking for the first time this past week! It was beautiful to see how his face lit up.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it?How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm feeling pretty good and the massage I got last week is still helping with my sciatic pain. A few twinges now and again but nothing like what I was feeling pre-massage.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? No appointments until Jan. 14
Rants? Raves? Nothing in particular this week.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I don't usually do these but I think this year I'm going to try something like take my lunch to work at least 4 days a week.BFP#1 5/12/13 EDD 1/10/14 MMC 6/20/13
BFP #2 8/27/13 EDD 5/5/14 **hoping for our rainbow baby** We are TEAM PINK!!!!

Rants? Raves? Rant: I'm getting winded doing routine things. Rave: I'm in a nesting mode, so I'm getting things super organized.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it?
My resolution is to be a little thriftier and save more money.
Week? Fruit/Veggie? 19/heirloom tomato
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I got the flu while on vacation. I've been pretty sick since Friday. I normally load myself up on anything & everything so it has been kind of annoying to have to look everything up before I take it (and even then not get straight answers so I end up skipping it). I finally called my advice nurse this morning and I have the OK to use a little combination of things that should work. I think I felt two little kicks on Friday morning though!
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Scan is next Monday.
Rants? Raves? None, except I had this sinking feeling when I got to work that maybe I shouldn't have come in. I was always under the impression that once your fever/initial sickness episode is over, you're good to go. I really don't want to be that guy.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? Nope! I have enough on my plate in 2014.Week? Fruit/Veggie?
I'm 21 weeks today and baby is the size of a pomegranate (which in my opinion is smaller than the banana from last week)
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet?
I started to feel baby move more last week, but I'm not feeling much at all this week, so I think maybe I miss calculated the movements. I felt him a bit on Christmas day, but I've been a bit busy the past few days so maybe I'm just never still and present enough to really notice, since he is still so small.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates?
I had my A/S last Friday (Dec. 20) but the tech I had was a bit of a newbie, so he missed a couple of pictures of the heart and Lemon kind of settled into a comfy place blocking a good picture of his whole spin. From my follow-up with my OB everything looks fine and she has no concerns about the missing pictures, but for completeness sake I have to go back in mid-January for another, shorter scan. I'm not complaining though, it's always nice to get to see him!
Rant: As soon as my husband's grandma and aunt saw my bump at Christmas they immediately rubbed it, without asking. And it's like they didn't even say hello to me, they just went for the bump. I don't really like people touching it, not even family. I know some women are okay with it, but to me my bump is very intimate, it's something me and my husband can touch (I love when he touches it, and I know he is really anticipating being able to feel Lemon kicking). So I politely told everyone in his family (I made the same gentile announcement to my family on Christmas Eve with my mom asked to touch it) that I am really not comfortable with people, even family, touching my stomach. I tried to make it light-hearted and included a joke about feeling like a Buddha statue, but his aunt didn't talk to me for like 3 hours afterwards. Kind of irritating that I can't have my own opinion about my own body.
Rave: We're painting the nursery today! Yay! We've been collecting decor items for quite a while, and my mom is working on making our drapes and some matching baby blankets, etc. For Christmas my parents got us a huge gift card to Lowe's so we could buy paint and new closet doors for the baby's room, so on Boxing Day we went and picked the colour and got all the supplies. I washed the walls and taped everything this afternoon, and I started painting the trim, but even the low VOC paint was too stinky for me. My husband is upstairs finishing the first coat now.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it?
Week? Fruit/Veggie? week 22: papaya
How are you Feeling? better: was absent from the board last week due to family vacation. I got sick, and have been recovering since, and I'm feeling tons better now. Are you feeling baby yet? Yes! Peanut is extremely active, and I think s/he had the hiccups the other day.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? follow-up AS scan on 2/13 due to abnormal AS 12/18. Peanut has a calcite deposit on the liver, and our perinatologist wants to monitor. Other than that, we're working hard to prepare home and nursery for Peanut's arrival.
Rants? Raves? nothing here - all is well.
GTKY: Are you making a New Year's Resolution this year? If so, what is it? I don't make resolutions for New Year's - if I need to make changes/improvements in my life I just do it when it comes to me.
