Tuesday Ticker Change!!!

LongIslandMama1114

I don't think I've ever started one of these. And Tuesdays I leave my normal office to work in a different office until 9pm and internet access (read The Bump) is limited. I'm always posting the next day. So I figured I'd start it today!

EDD:

Symptoms:

Updates/AWS/Rants:

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old?

EDD: 11/18 - 32 weeks! Gah!

Symptoms: Heartburn, hip pain, sciatica, and sleep problems...not total insomnia yet but not a full nights sleep either.

Updates/AWS/Rants: I go to the doctor every Wednesday at this point so I have an appointment tomorrow. I get a sono and a NST every time. Every two weeks is the growth sono so I'm looking forward to seeing how big he is tomorrow!

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? There's a lot of new shows that I'd like to try out but the first show that comes to mind for me is The Voice. I just love love love Adam Levine. Swooooon

EDD:  11/11, 33 weeks today!

Symptoms:  Just tired all the time, feet hurt, swelling, and the pelvic pressure is awful!

Updates/AWS/Rants:  I had a follow up U/S on Friday and the doctor said it is "Very unlikely" that they will let me go past 37 weeks as baby is measuring so big (6.5 pounds).  So it looks like I'll be having an october baby.  Also, baby has some minimal extra fluid on one of the brain ventricles but the doctor isn't too concerned.  Per Dr. Google, most of the time this presents, baby is just fine.  So I'm trying not to worry.

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old?  Probably Homeland, Parenthood, and Nashville.  Oh, and True Detective!

EDD: Nov. 18th/32 weeks!

Symptoms: Not sleeping well, lots of peeing, some heartburn-the usual. I posted this question on the randoms thread, but didn't get any responses, so I'm trying again here to see what you ladies think. I've been really trying to do my kick counts, esp after reading some loss threads. I notice that my baby is only active really after eating, and ESPECIALLY after sugar (ie. soda). Sometimes food alone wont' get LO moving. Is that normal or cause for concern? FTM so I have no clue.

Updates/AWS/Rants: No appt till next week. I was on bi-weekly, then they switched me to every 3 weeks. Boo.

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? Big Bang Theory started last night and I was soo excited, but a little disappointed. Also excited for Modern Family.

@JamieK1882 FTM here, too so I don't have any experience but I'd think that regardless of how you get LO to move, the fact that he/she is moving is a good thing. I know you've had issues with feeling LO move due to your placenta. Maybe the sugar just makes his/her kicks a little stronger so that's why you only feel them then? Again, I don't know for sure but that's the thought that popped in my head.

@JamieK1882‌ re: movement...
I've experienced a bit of a slow down in movement over the last week or two. She used to move CONSTANTLY so it made me a little nervous at first, but she still goes nuts a few times a day (especially after I eat) and it is normal as the womby real estate shrinks. With that being said... by all means ask your doc for reassurance. Normal for you may not be normal for me (but I'd still wager y'all are doing okay).

EDD: 11/18 32 weeks!!! Is this considered 8 months? I can never tell

Symptoms: Acid Reflux, swollen ankles and feet, discomfort getting out of chairs and bed, just moving around in general is getting a little harder

Updates/AWS/Rants: A little AW. We found our pediatrician and I'm thrilled! She was recommended to us by a friend and now I know why. She was amazing, detail-oriented (which i truly appreciate) and spent 1 hr talking to us! She's in practice with her husband which i thought was sweet. And the office is just 10 mins away! Woo Hoo! Also, we have a sono next tuesday, i'm excited to see how our little girl has grown!

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? I don't even know what's starting. I'm mostly a netflix girl these days. With the exception of Daily Show, Jimmy Fallon and various car and hgtv shows. I need to get back on track.

EDD/WEEKS: 32 weeks, 11/18

SYMPTOMS: Braxton Hicks, some hip pain

APPOINTMENTS: I've got two on Friday, one with the specialist and my reg OB.  I was hoping last week would be my last with the specialist sine E's heart rate was normal the last two visits but it was irregular again, so I'm still going to see the specialist each week for a while.

GTKY: The  Goldbergs

EDD:  11/4, 34 weeks

Symptoms:  Same old, just feeling big/uncomfortable, heartburn, etc.

Updates/AWS/Rants:  No updates really, H and I did get a lot of pre-baby stuff done this weekend though.  I started my freezer meal stash already!  I have an appointment tomorrow then start weekly in 2 weeks. 

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old?  I guess The Walking Dead.  I'm really liking Outlander too right now.

And @JamieK1882 I'm not sure what's considered normal for getting the baby to move for kick counts, but for me personally what seems to work best is drinking a lot of really really cold water with lots of ice and then laying down semi-flat on my back.  One of my nurses said that they should try to move away from the cold sensation in your stomach, and it works pretty well for me.

EDD: 11/11, 33 weeks!

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? Greys, Scandal, The Walking Dead

EDD: 11/11 - 33 Weeks

Symptoms: nothing new, just keep on trucking

Updates/AWS/Rants: NST today. Felt a little justified once I saw visual confirmation of contractions. They've been relentless at times and I would've felt silly if I didn't have any of them while on the monitor.

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? The Walking Dead! Hoping the next True Detective is as good as the first season. And... Game of Thrones.

EDD: nov. 4th / 34 weeks!

Symptoms: tired all the time. swollen feet/ankles. just generally achy. braxton hicks. pretty rough back pain.

Updates/AWS/Rants: just found out i actually do qualify for disability, which i was initially told wouldn't be an option for me. so now i'm considering stopping work a bit earlier... but as the due date gets closer i'm becoming increasingly stressed about whether i will go back to work after or not, and how we will pay bills if i don't.

GTKY: (Kind of stolen from O14) What fall show are you most looking forward to this season? New or old? hmmm i'm a bit of a tv junkie, though we will most likely be canceling cable after baby to save money. i'm excited for survivor, nashville, revenge, amazing race... and probably more i have just forgot about with my crazy pregnancy brain!
