**Wednesday Ticker Change**

AnyMax

(I know, I am posting a little early...)

Hi Wednesday ladies!  Back when I told MG I could take on the check in, work was slow, and I was a lazy blob. Since then, work has already started to pick up, and we are not even into the busy season yet.  Fortunately/Unfortunately, that means it is only going to get busier and I will have much less bump time.  Would anyone like to take over?  If no one is able, I will just make sure to get it posted each week, but I am not sure if I will be able to respond to everyone as I would like (totally dropped the ball last week, sorry!).  Let me know

One more week down and that much closer to meeting our sweet LO's!

Just a reminder that this is a weekly check-in for those of us who start a new week of pregnancy today. If you are new, please feel free to jump in, give us your EDD, and welcome! 

How far along are you? 

How are you feeling? Symptoms?

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&P for? 

GTKY: My mom recently sent me pictures from my 4th birthday party. When we got to talking about the pictures, she couldn't believe how much detail I remembered from that day.  It is definitely the earliest birthday I can remember, and probably one of my clearest early memories.  I love hearing what other people's earliest memories are. Soooo, what is one of your earliest memories?  (Maybe I will even share the picture below... )

Well, I can't really volunteer...but I think you've been doing a wonderful job!

How far along are you? 39 weeks

How are you feeling? Symptoms? Feeling mostly good - I am definitely uncomfortable, can't really sleep much at all anymore. Still dealing with swelling.

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&P for? Well, technically I go in at 1:00am Thursday for my induction, but it's pretty much Wednesday night. The countdown is on! Definitely would like to request T&P's for a smooth labor and delivery and a healthy baby.

Probably when I busted my head open and had to get stitches, it was about 4 months before my 4th birthday. I remember hitting the door, and I remember my parents freaking out and taking me to the doctor to get stitched up. I also remember that the nurses at the doctor's office gave me a candy cane for "being so good" (it was around Christmas).

I am also sorry I can't be able to take over this post. It is also our busy time at work and won't end until close to edd. You are doing a wonderful job though.

How far along are you? 15 weeks ahhhhhhhhhh can't believe it!

How are you feeling? Symptoms? Still suck with nausea and typical 1st trimester symptoms dispute being in 2nd trimester. But to add to it I am having headaches and dizziness. So have been instructed to eat more often. Which is hard when nothing sounds good!

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&P for? I had an appointment yesterday and baby seems to be doing well. He/she had a strong heartbeat of 145-150. But our big appointment for early anatomy scan is quickly appoarching and nervousness increases daily. I am really hoping this time will be different.

My earliest memory is when I was 3 my sister cut my bangs as we played babor shop. My parents were still asleep so my sister told me to go show my parents. The last I remember is climbing the stairs to go show my parents.

How far along are you?  19 weeks! So close to halfway!!!

How are you feeling? Symptoms? I caught a cold last week and it's slowly going away. Still very congested though. Otherwise, I feel pretty good overall. Was having less anxiety until last night when I must have had a nightmare. Hopefully it will diminish again as the day goes on. Mostly I am hungry or tired.

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&P for?  A/s is on Friday at 4 mountain time. Nervous for sure.

Dancing up and down the street with an orange pom pom on my head when I was about 3.

@anymax I am about to be unemployed as my job is ending tomorrow. I don't plan to go back to work until next year so I could take over.

How far along are you? 11 weeks - a lime - holy guacamole!

How are you feeling? Symptoms?  Nada.  Boobs aren't as sore as they used to be.  The only symptoms I have in "the book" of pregnancy (according to TB) is a thickening mid-section and very visible veins.  Occasionally I have some cramp-like sensations in my uterus but not scary cramps, hopefully more like "I gotta grow my uterus real estate" growing cramps.  Oh, according to MH, I've been a little more moody than usual.  Oops.

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&P for? Yes, please.  This Friday is my NT scan and I'm terrified I'll go in and they'll say "I don't see a heartbeat, the baby stopped growing at 9 weeks" or something.  I'm already nervous for the appointment and have been trying to cherish every day.  I hope to be pleasantly surprised that everything is fine.

GTKY:  Soooo, what is one of your earliest memories? I grew up overseas so my earliest memories are of my time in Yemen.  I remember running on the gravel roads barefoot because, well, we were kids in Yemen and you either wore really loose-fitting sandals or were barefoot and running barefoot was more comfortable than running in the sandals. We had pretty good callouses because of this . 

@AnyMax - Thanks for running the check in, lady, you rock .  I hope you do share the birthday picture with us!!

@Ksyknelvr73 - omgomgomg!!!!!!  So many great T&Ps coming your way for a smooth and safe delivery.  So much love to you and your LO!!! :x

@RN536 - So glad the u/s went fantastic.  Sorry about the fever, though, hopefully you can get some extra rest and kick it to the curb.

@whiteroses05 - Sorry you're still dealing with nausea on top of headaches and dizziness!  Yay for hearing the HB yesterday .  Also - my BFF and I cut each other's bangs once and my mom was mortified so she tried to even them out and I looked like this for much of Pre-K.  

@classicstar28 - GL at your A/S!!!!  I'll be thinking of you .  Thanks for being willing to take over the check-in YOU ROCK!!!!

@Pink021 - I loved your BPF .  I'm so glad the nausea has let up some!!  GL on deciding where the best place is to deliver your little man!

Good Morning fellow Wednesdayites!

How far along are you?  14 weeks today. wow!

How are you feeling? Symptoms? No symptoms at all which I know is normal but is worring me all the same.  I was gettting sonos every 2 weeks but now that has stopped and this is the week I would have had another sono, so I am a having a bit of panic lately.  I wish I could stop the worry but  I just cant seem to.  I also ordered a doppler on Saturday and I feel like it is taking FOREVER to get here.  I have also had alot of stretching (at least that is what I am calling it because calling them cramps scares me even more) lately.  But I am trying to hang in there.

Any appointments coming up? Anything you need T&Ps for?  My next appointment is not until the 4th of June.  So we have a long way to go still.  We are telling DH parents the gender this weekend which I am super excited about!  I am not sure when we are planning on telling my family yet tho. 

GTKY:  It is hard to think of early memories without them being sparked for me.  So I am not sure I can think of any off the top of my head.

@carlsonbaby2014‌ LOL at Dh saying you have been a little moody. Pretty sure my DH would say the same thing. We have been having silly little bickerings lately which I start and I am pretty sure its hormonal driven. I was so pissed last night cause he shaved in the sink and didn't clean up the hair!! Good luck Friday. I know its hard to knock PGAL brain to the curb. FX you will see a strong heartbeat and moving around baby!! I had a scan monday and was still nervous today for my NT scan even though it was only 2 days later. The minute she put the probe on my belly I had the same envisions as you. Was so afraid she was going to say "sorry there is no heartbeat". But there was and it was fine!! ((hugs)) for you.

Oh man, when they shave in the sink and don't clean up *SMH* so not cool!!  What if we did that when we shaved?  lol.  Thanks for the kind words, @RN536 - I'll remember them to help calm me down a little before my scan on Friday.  FX babycarlson looks just fine .

How far along are you?

12 weeks

How are you feeling? Symptoms?

Still battling severe nausea and fatigue

Any appointments coming up?

Tomorrow

Anything you need T&P for?


Yes, please! My 12 week appt. is tomorrow at 3 and I'm really nervous. This past week I've had a few bouts of pretty intense cramping and I'm really worried about it. I haven't had any bleeding, but unfortunately I know that that is no guarantee.

I swear I can remember my second b-day. People say it isn't possible, but I can remember it in a very foggy kind of way. I had horrible chicken pox.

@ksyknelvr73 Just a few more hours!! Sending you so many positive vibes and keeping you in my prayers that everything goes very smooth! I cannot wait to see the final update that you are snuggling with your sweet baby boy!

@RN536 I hope your NT scan went well today, and I cannot wait to hear the update on all the results next week! Hopefully the fever is gone and you are feeling better soon!

@whiteroses05 So glad LO checked out great at your appointment!  So many T&P that the A/S goes well!  I have not experienced the dizziness, but am dealing with the headaches way too regularly.  Definitely check with your doctor, but mine even recommended I try to drink some coffee for the caffeine, or use Excedrin tension headache (acetaminophen+caffeine, no aspirin).  Definitely helps me better than Tylenol alone.

@classicstar28 I am so sorry to hear about your job, but thank you so much for picking up the check-in next week, I really appreciate it!  I hope you are feeling better soon!  And sending you all the T&P for a great A/S as well! Next week we will do the halfway there celebration dance!! Eeee!

@Pink021 Ugh I am so sorry the m/s is still running strong and gd is still not under control. Is there any chance the m/s and gd are related? (I definitely do not know anything about gd...)  I will be keeping you in my prayers, that these both become manageable, and that you and H are able to decide on the best place for you and baby for delivery. (((HUGS)))

@carlsonbaby2014 I know it is difficult, but try not to get too hung up on the lack of symptoms.  Now is pretty normal time for some of the first tri things to start letting up, because before you know it, you and CB are going to be all sorts of second tri!  T&P for your NT scan!  I will be looking for an update, lady!

@Ashris13 Deep breaths, love!  This is definitely a very nerve wracking time, but you are okay!  I hope that the time to your next appointment passes very quickly for you.  Now if that doppler can just get here already!  Hopefully it brings you the peace of mind you need, and that it is not too long until you can feel LO moving around too.

@Belle3184 I am sorry your nausea is so bad still.  Hopefully it begins to let up for you.  Good luck at your appointment tomorrow! Those pains you are feeling could very much just been your ute making more room for little one!  Also, I have a pretty cloudy memory, and my mom said I was only two when it happened, so I think it is very possible!

How far along are you? 22 weeks!

I am going to just combine these. Today was a rough day. I had a little bleeding this morning, but it had already stopped by the time I found it. Nurse was very confident that everything was okay, but that they would see me ASAP if it started again. Thankfully, no more bleeding. Plus little lady has been kicking up a storm, she kept my mind at ease the whole time.

Then, this evening, I tried to be a sweet wife, picked up this gourmet cheese, fruit, and nut plate from the store, and a bottle of wine for H.  It was great, until he noticed his throat and chest were starting to feel tight.  One of the cheeses has penicillium whatnot in it, and he's allergic to penicillin. Of course.  Benadryl, a huge freakout by me, and him insisting he really doesn't need to go to the ER, he is resting fine and said the tightness is letting up.

Tomorrow I have a regular OB checkup, and we'll discuss the random mystery bleeding. And then Friday we will be going to our friend's mom's funeral, she passed away Monday.

Needless to say, my nerves are shot. Can life just chill the eff out?

And if you read all of that, these s'mores brownies are for you.

GTKY: So my earliest memory is foggy and kind of patchy, it was the summer after I turned two. Two of the neighborhood girls were trying to teach me to jump rope in our driveway. I remember falling face first into the pavement, next I remember going to the bathroom and thinking my front tooth felt funny and finding my mom to show her. Then I remember sitting in a dental chair in a very dark room and getting a sucker for only crying a little.  It was apparently more traumatic than that, according to my mom, and I actually split my front tooth right down the middle.  My parents were hosting a block party, and my mom had to leave with me to be seen by an emergency dentist, who had to pull the tooth!

But! The 4th birthday picture as promised above!  Roller skating party, killer bangs, denim overalls dress, missing tooth from when I was two, got a red teddy bear bikini and My Little Pony shrinkiedinks!

@AnyMax - I'm so sorry to hear about your friends mom . It's so difficult to lose a parent.

I'm also sorry that your good intentions of a fun cheese and wine spread went haywire with YHs allergic reaction but I'm glad he's okay. FX the bleeding was an isolated incident, love - my goodness I'm sure that was so scary!! I'm glad your little miss was moving lots to ease your mind a little. Whew!! I call a time out on any crazy developments for the AM house for a good, long while!

Thanks for keeping me grounded and reminding me that second tri is just around the corner. And yes, of course I'll update you ladies on Friday about how it goes .

classicstar28

@anymax not a problem! My job naturally ended since I work for a school district. I resigned as we are moving back to Texas next month. Not a big deal.

I'm glad YH is ok! That sounds really scary. DH doesn't have an allergy like that, but has had random asthma attacks. Always freaks me out. I'm also glad the bleeding stopped and hopefully is an isolated incident.

AnyMax

Thank you so much for all the support, loves. My appointment went prefect this evening. Lena sounded great on the doppler, and my OB truly believes the bleeding was just a random incident. And H made it through the night okay, doped up on Benadryl. I am so ready for a long relaxing weekend at this point!
