I legit thought "Ticker change" meant that you had to go through changing your ticker in your signature every week just for fun. I kind of feel like an idiot.
How many weeks? 20!
What fruit or other random object? Bananas. Two bananas dancing in my belly.
Upcoming appointments? My big anatomy scan is on Tuesday. Hoping it doesn't get snowed out!! It is supposed to be 2 hours long and they will do a full scan for each baby. After that, I have a regular OB appt.
Any questions? Symptoms? I still get headaches almost every day, which is very annoying and frustrating. I don't like having to take medicine for them every day, and the medicine is hit or miss. I am not sure what else to do any this point. I have tried the chiropractor too, and that does not really help. Any suggestions?
Food cravings/aversions? I love pasta, soup, french fries, fried anything, McChicken sandwiches, and chinese foods. Man I really want some chinese food. I am not really into sugar and ice cream lately, but I will eat it here and there, especially if it is something sweet AND salty.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? I am probably going to be one of many, but I just adore Jennifer Lawrence. She is so refreshing and real and is just an incredibly talented actress. I like that she does not think what she does is that amazing. I am also a fan of Amy Adams, and hope that an Oscar is coming soon in her future. I have always loved Tom Hanks and Steve Carrell, both for being brilliant in their own ways. They rely on talent and not on looks (not that either man is ugly or anything, but they certainly aren't on par with Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio!)
Upcoming appointments? Monday, just a regular check-in.
Any questions? Symptoms? I've been so sick that I haven't even noticed any pregnancy symptoms. She does seems to be moving and kicking more. Question about movement... Each day, I get a twinge feeling in the same spot. Is this baby moving or just random spasms? Any ideas?
Food cravings/aversions? I don't want to eat anything right now.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? I'm also going with Jennifer Lawrence. She is hilarious and amazing. She owns who she is and doesn't seem to let her fame go to her head. I wish we were besties.
Any questions? Symptoms? Lucky that I feel so great
Food cravings/aversions? I might have had ice cream every night for the past week...
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? I don't watch many movies, but I'll go with Jennifer Lawrence too. I enjoy her movies, and attitude off the screen.
What fruit or other random object? Papaya, supposedly. I don't buy it.
Upcoming appointments? Next Wednesday! I think we have this one plus one more monthly, then they go biweekly.
Any questions? Symptoms? Why does sex feel so weird/hurt. Also, I'm gaining more weight than I'm supposed to and seriously not eating much more than normal. WTF.
Food cravings/aversions? Cappucinos and smoked salmon. Want.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why?
What fruit or other random object? Grapefruit. I don't really buy these fruit comparisons either.
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow...going in so they can evaluate my back pain. After that...next week for my glucose tolerance test.
Any questions? Symptoms? A new thing today: I think she's kicking my bladder and where the cervix meets the uterus (uterine neck??). Feels strange. Otherwise...my appetite is out of control.
Food cravings/aversions? I have really been wanting a beer. No aversions at this point. Maybe shrimp because I had a craving a few weeks ago and ate like a pound of shrimp cocktail. Now it seems gross.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? I think Patrick Swayze was great. I love Roadhouse!! He was masculine yet gentle. My favorite type...like Pa Ingalls from Little House.
Food cravings/aversions? Give me cookies and anything sweet! I seem to have to have dessert after every meal!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? Actor wise it's Christian Bale! Oh Batman! Actress wise, I love Connie Britton. She is just so likable in both Friday Night Lights and Nashville.
Any questions? Symptoms? I've been feeling a *little* bit of nausea lately, which is pretty surprising. I also definitely feel like my stomach is higher; when I drink a lot of water, I can almost feel it at the top of my chest, waiting to come out if I bend over . . . .
Food cravings/aversions? just food! I'm enjoying eating food.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? Oof. I'm not sure . . . . Ok, this is totally embarassing, but I actually think that Justin Timberlake is a pretty good actor. I also like his humorous songs on SNL.
How many weeks? 20! I can't believe baby boy is half baked!
What fruit or other random object? Banana
Upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan tomorrow.
Any questions? Symptoms? Ugh. Constipation still. The only thing that seems to make me go is McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese. I'm a bit concerned about the scale due to my crappy eating habits lately, so that's not a good treatment plan :P
Food cravings/aversions? No aversions, and no pregnancy cravings. I've been eating too much junk (ice cream and cookies) because they're in the house, but I wouldn't call it a craving. I have been craving orange juice, but that's because I'm sick And I can't really drink it because the acid gives me heartburn
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/ actress and why? I'm horrible at any celebrity related questions, I can never think of an answer.
JulieSmiles, I actually have been prescribed fiorocet, which includes caffeine and tylenol. It is a Category C, so not ideal, but my OBs see no problem with it. They even said I could take 4 tabs of Motrin per week to see if that helps. I have never been one to totally quit caffeine while pregnant so I still drink it fairly often…I am thinking I need to try something that works with my muscles or stretching, like prenatal massage or yoga.
