Re: ***Thursday Ticker Change***
How are you feeling? The past few days, great! Not sure if it's because work is super busy since my boss in on vacay and I haven't had time to be tired, but I'm reveling in the fact that I haven't almost fallen asleep at my desk all week.
Appointments/Updates? Monday!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nothing at all yet. Soon I should start pulling out out gear from DD to make sure it's working. I've saved absolutely everything so as long as it's all working, there isn't much I need to buy unless the baby is a boy.
Rants/Raves: It's going to rain this weekend
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). A couple of beach trips.. that's about it.
Week/Fruit: Week 15 - Orange
How are you feeling? Pretty great. My lower back has been bothering me a little bit, and sleeping is just...not what it used to be. But other than that, things are good!
Appointments/Updates? My next appointment isn't until the end of August. However, we're posting our Facebook announcement later today! Eeeee!!!! I think DH is more excited than I am. And I'll be glad to have my parents off my back.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Our friend who took pictures for our announcement brought us an adorable stuffed bear in a tutu and some booties to take pictures with. But that's it.
Rants/Raves: My parents. And FIL. They cannot keep their mouth's shut! We told them all that we wanted to keep things quiet until we posted on Facebook. After that, it's fair game to tell whoever you want. Last week, we got our first u/s, so I sent pics to my parents and DH's dad. Well, my FIL went and posted on FB about how he was so proud that his baby was going to be a dad. That was frustrating, so we asked him to remove it. My mom asked me when they could tell their church (my dad is a pastor, and this is their first grandchild). I told her after it's on FB. Then, Sunday night, my dad texts me telling me that he told his church that morning!! I don't understand what's so hard about listening to me and waiting until I say it's ok!! Then, he had the audacity to tell me that I need to get a move on with my plans to tell people now that I'm in my second trimester. I had to give my phone to DH to keep from saying stuff I would regret. I was so mad. Still a little bitter. I just feel like I haven't been listened to or taken seriously.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). I have one more semester of my master's degree, so I'm gearing up for school, but also just enjoying the time off. I'm also leaving my current internship, so working on that transition is exciting. Honestly, I can't wait for summer to be over. Bring on autumn!!!
How are you feeling? - Overall great! Few headaches here and there but overall super fantastic. Lets keep going!
Appointments/Updates? - I have one this afternoon. Will know more then.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? - Umm. Not really. Waiting to find out the gender of the baby. Not that we are going to be all pink or all blue. Its just the excitement that is going to be push us even more then.
Rants/Raves: I had my highlights done yesterday and they look beautiful! Pregnancy does not have to bring your life to a stand still
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). - Me and DH are visiting our friends at NJ around labor day. We also bought tickets to the US Open -Women's Final. So that's exciting!

Rants/Raves: I live in Miami and it is hot hot hot! I still have probably until Nov or so with this heat. Starting to bother me when I am out walking and doing things.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). Going to see my mom next week and my little brother in South Carolina for a few days. Can't wait to hang out with family!

Rants/Raves: Hubby landed a new job this week which is a HUGE deal. It is a major step forward for him and we are super excited about it. Rant, what was I thinking going back to get my masters?! I am miserable.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). None really. Our big family vacation is Disney World in October so really we are just waiting on that. DD #1's bday is August 14th so we are doing a big princess party and that will be fun.
My girls: August 14, 2011 and December 5, 2013
How are you feeling? Good. Energy is still up. The only crap part is that sleep has been hell. I sleep good for about 3-4 hours and then in early am I wake up 10 times. I can't get comfy. It may be that every time I wake up, I'm lying on my back
Appointments/Updates? None til 8/15
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? YES FINALLY! Last weekend we hit up yard sales so I got a boppy for $5, a grocery cart cover for $4, and a rock n play (a sleepy thingy) for $30! Great deals! I can't wait to find out the sex so we can paint the room and buy the furniture so I can NEST!
Rants/Raves: Just the sleep thing, which really sucks.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). DH and I are going on a 2 weeks trip to Greece the first two weeks of September. I am so EXCITED! I can't wait to waddle all around Santorini

QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over

How are you feeling?
Appointments/Updates?
I had my a/s today!!!!! Everything looked PERFECT. Baby was healthy and all the parts looked normal and fine. I got 2 awesome pics (including a feet pic that I looooove). We remained team green. My next appt will be in Canada, yikes.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?
Rants/Raves:
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not).
How are you feeling? I still really lucky in terms of lack of symptoms. Sleeping is becoming a little more difficult, and I do get the occasional headache. Oh, and the past two days I have been hungry almost constantly!
Appointments/Updates? Nothing to report. Regular 4 week check up on the 13th and then A/S on the 18th. Just waiting, waiting, waiting. I don't like this waiting thing! I'm going to be a mess between 20w and when we do our second elective ultrasound around 30w.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not recently, although my mom talked to me yesterday about wanting to buy the crib and dresser for his room
Rants/Raves: DH is up for advancement this year and we're waiting for the results to come out. There are tons of rumors flying but I really, really, really just want this info to come out like NOW. DH is a mess waiting for the news, I'm really anxious because it could mean a lot more money for us...C'MON NAVY!!
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Appointments/Updates? 8/19/14 (20w5d) ultrasound
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? No waiting until I find out the sex to purchase most things because it is overwhelming
Rants/Raves: FI is an ahole lately! He hasn't been as supportive as I would like and it's hard for me to trust he is going to step up at this point. I don't know if it is nerves or what but I put our house search on hold and got an apartment that I can afford (on my own) incase this isn't a case of nerves
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over
14/Lemon
How are you feeling?
Morning sickness is still there for me... it is just my world... lol plus I feel a cold coming on.. (I hate when I get sick towards the fall)
Appointments/Updates?
No updates.. but I'm going to have a few appointments around 16 weeks
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?
I haven't bought anything but I've been given small gifts from registries and friends
Rants/Raves:
I hate working
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not).
Hopefully I can take my vacation before maternity leave so I can prepare for my baby shower and get stuff for my baby
Week/Fruit:15/orange
How are you feeling? Not great, not sleeping well lately and that means more nausea, ugh!
Appointments/Updates? Next appt is 8/14
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Still nothing yet
Rants/Raves: Daycare was closed last week and ILs watched DS, which is really nice but they don't follow a schedule well so I think we are now getting back on track with sleeping. DS was a disaster last weekend from not napping, poor kid.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not). No vacations planned. The MN State Fair is coming up though and I always enjoy that.
Week/Fruit: 18/sweet potato
How are you feeling? Overwhelmed and totally busy with work. It's 4:15 and I am just eating lunch right now. I also have a wicked head cold that is keeping me up every night. Yay, 4 hours of sleep!
Appointments/Updates? We had a bad result on our trisomy 18 test (1:44) so I took the cell-free DNA test Monday. Results take 10 - 14 days but my a/s is scheduled for 8/6 so we should have some sort of confirmation of results by then.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I really can't. I'm so upset about the trisomy 18 that I can't even bring myself to think about the baby.
Rants/Raves: The genetic counselor we saw on Monday was a real jerk. All she did was make us worry more and she really pushed us to skip the blood test and get an amnio. Luckily I had the foresight to call my doctor and she advised us not to do the amnio unless absolutely necessary - which she feels it is not at this point.
QOTW: It's almost August! Which means summer's almost over What plans do you have for the rest of summer (BR or not).
We have a jam packed August. This weekend is my husband's beach birthday, then we have a 1st birthday for a friend's daughter. Next weekend we have a 50th anniversary with vow renewals, the weekend after that we are on vacation in OBX. After that we have a 3 year old's birthday party, then Labor Day.
