GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table?
Re: Wednesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: nothing much, just an active kiddo!
Rants/Raves/Stories: So I posted Monday about how a friend of mine expecting twin girls a week before me has narrowed her name choices down to three and one happens to be MY probably name
Upcoming Appointments: 20 week appt this afternoon, no real concerns since I feel her a lot
Questions: See rant...our name we currently have chosen is Eliza Grace. What are your thoughts on Johanna Grace if my friend goes with Eliza? It's a German name and we're both German. NN Jo? We actually had Hannah in the mix but its a little more common than we want...
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Normally it's mashed potatoes but I'm on such a huge stuffing kick, can't even handle how much I want it! Made cornbread crescent stuffing for our early Thanksgiving over the weekend...delicious!
Symptoms: constipation is the only symptom that has persisted for 20 weeks...
Rants/Raves/Stories: I am feeling a ton of movement these days. Loving it so much!!!!
On not so good news, my husband caught a cold when we were in Orlando, and now I'm getting it... Boooooo...
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy US today!!!! Praying all is well!
Questions: Is it normal that my boobs have not been sore in months, and they are only minimally larger than pre-preg...??? Everyone tells me "your boobs are going to explode!!!" Well, they are not!
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? TG has never been a tradition for me as I am Brazilian, so it's hard to pick... I'll just say cornbread cause I love it.
Symptoms: nothing really, feeling little kicks & flips here & there
Rants/Raves/Stories: this pregnancy is flying and I feel so disconnected and unprepared. This is very different from my experience with DS, I know it's pretty normal but it's a bummer.
Upcoming Appointments: I have a regular appt tomorrow and the anatomy scan on Monday (I'm hoping seeing this little kiddo will help with the disconnected feeling)
Questions: nothing at the moment
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Stuffing. I don't make it but it's my favorite part of the dinner. DH's uncle makes an oyster stuffing sometimes and it is AMAZING.
@thaisac1 it's normal. Some people's boobs don't explode, mine didn't change in size this time but they did with DS. I prefer this experience lol.
Symptoms: constipation (what's new?). Movement!
Rants/Raves/Stories: All I want to do is start nesting and preparing for this baby. We are renovating our basement and then moving DDs room and her room will be the nursery, so I can't really prepare that. And I guess I'm waiting to find out the sex before I buy stuff. I haven't purchased a single thing and I can't wait to! Is it bad that part of the reason I want this baby to be a boy is so I can buy new things?
Upcoming Appointments: anatomy scan not until Dec 12!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Sweet potato casserole! Sweet, brown sugary, deliciousness!!!
Symptoms: Breasts are sore, trouble sleeping and today some stretching/pulling pains, forgetfulness.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Looking forward to telling my family next week. I'm tired of trying to hide my growing belly. My mothers examines me every time I see her but wont ask, probably because of the miscarriages.
Upcoming Appointments: Can't wait for our A/S on 12/7. Cannot get here soon enough. Even though all tests have come back normal I just want confirmation baby boy is doing well in there.
Questions: Why don't we start a daily/weekly kegel reminder post? Someone did this on my Jan13BMB and it was really helpful.
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Stuffing, stuffing, stuffing. Its my favorite part of the meal.
Symptoms: REALLY wishing this puking business was over...and talk about some hip pain at night.
Rants/Raves/Stories: So, DH and I decided yesterday that we really do want to find out what LO is. We've been Team Green, but I have been struggling to feel a connection to this pregnancy--mostly just feeling like this LO will be less special than DD because everything for LO is hers and whatnot. I have not been so excited all of this pregnancy until yesterday when we made the official decision. I AM PUMPED!!
Upcoming Appointments: More excited about my 20 week appt than any other one I have had since we are going to find out....PLUS it's on my birthday! FXed that all is well with LO and he/she spreads wide for us to see!
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? STUFFING and Sweet Potato Souffle!! Baby peas in butter sauce, BROWN gravy, cornbread casserole......My family is all west-coast peeps, but I live in the traditional south...I am SO sick of dressing and crap like that. BRING ON THE GOOD STUFF, West Coast Style!
@imrachellea I really like Johanna I would go with JoJo or Joey for nn. But Jo is cute too!
Symptoms: gas, no ms this week, my legs and feet are starting to bother me At work.
Rants/Raves/Stories: taking ds1 to a Santa themed carnival today! Yay for days off.
Upcoming Appointments: 20 week appt Dec. 1st.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Mashed potatoes/gravy, mashed butternut squash, and cranberry sauce!
Symptoms: random occurrences of heart burn
Rants/Raves/Stories: We got to see our peanut this morning! Love my baby so much! He/she was curled in a ball so DH didn't get to find out the sex, I told him it's because I told baby not to flash his/her naughty bits lol
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy Scan on the 24th!
Questions: Does anyone else feel like their nipples got big? I feel like mine look bigger than before
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie mmmmmm can't wait for next week!
Symptoms: crazy nightmares... Last night it was the epideral needle... Yikes.
Rants/Raves/Stories: still stuck in no-name land for our baby boy... Would love to have the decision made but it doesn't seem like that'll happen soon for us.
Upcoming Appointments: 24 week appointment in December.. We're cruising along for now!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Stuffing! My MIL doesn't eat gluten, so I volunteered to make it this year.
As far as boobs, with my last son they were huge by the time he came (like DD at least). I lost a ton of weight and got in shape after him and they went back down to a small B. Now with this one, got pregnant and they remembered what to do apparently because I'm back up to a D and I'm only halfway through. I'm scared what they'll be like when my milk comes in. I have a picture when I had my last one of me nursing him and my boob is as big as him!
Symptoms: still headaches, lots of movement, and the gag reflex is still extremely active.
Rants/Raves/Stories: had our anatomy scan Monday. From what we could see everything looked great and he's still a boy. He was curled into a ball so we weren't able to get a lot.
Somewhat of a rant, all three of the kids have had some kind of the stomach flu the last week. The boys had it the worst. I'm so glad they're feeling better, i couldn't handle anymore vomit. Hence the gag reflex above
Upcoming Appointments: in 4 weeks, another sono to get what we couldn't on Monday
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Candied sweet potatoes! We have a family recipe we use and I crave them year round.
Symptoms: Nausea is getting a lot better (yay!)
Rants / Raves / Stories: I'll echo the boob thing! I was a DD pre-pregnancy and now I'm a DDD. I don't know where I'm going to get bras if they get any bigger!
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan scheduled for December 4th.
GTKY - What is your must have on the Thanksgiving table?: Mashed potatoes and lots of pies. YUM!
Symptoms: some constipation, and a pain in my right lower side. It's not terrible, so I'm just going to wait to ask about it in my appointment Friday. Hoping it's just gas!
Rants/Raves/Stories: I feel random little movements and it's pretty awesome
I just got over a terrible cold!!! I'm so happy to be feeling better since I couldn't take my favorite medicine, Tylenol cold & sinus.
Upcoming Appointments: Friday! Supposed to be the anatomy scan but because of insurance that might have to be pushed back. I get to see the little bear though, so that's all I want!
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table?
Tie between my Nanas stuffed mushrooms or her pinwheels (tortilla with cream cheese, meat, salsa and other stuff??).
&& we have to have homemade Russian tea.
Symptoms: Constipation seems to be getting better maybe (I posted for the first time last week after lurking forever and this was my major symptom), backaches when I'm at work. I am a toddler teacher so it's always killing me after a few hours.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I felt movement finally for the first time today! I randomly woke up at 5 am and felt a couple of small movements. I was so excited that I never went back to sleep haha.
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy scan, December 4th. Was hoping it'd be next week but thanksgiving week is quite hectic.
Questions: Today I started noticing that my knuckles would randomly look really blue and my lips feel tingly. Anyone else have this?? It's kind of on and off and I'm not cold. I'm waiting on a call back from the nurse line.
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? That is a very hard question. Potatoes! Rolls! Noodles! Turkey! Pie! I'm so excited!
Symptoms: very very tired and sinus/allergy problems.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Today my baby was kicking up a storm during a test I had. It was so distracting! This baby is way more active and strong than I thought it'd be. I LOVE to feel the baby moving, but I can't imagine how hard the baby will be kicking/punching towards the end of the pregnancy if it's this strong already.
Upcoming Appointments: a/s in early December
Questions:
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Butternut squash
Symptoms: Still having dry hands and feet and crazy migraines during the day; feeling more movement though which is cool!
Rants/Raves/Stories: So, I stopped at this store near my job to pick up my usual Dutchess honey bun (I've been craving them a lot lately.) The store manager told me that they no longer sell them because they weren't earning money from them so they chose another brand. I guess my facial expression (and my growing bump) made her feel terrible, so she decided to special order another case of Dutchess honey buns just for me. They should be here in a week. I cried driving back to work. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. Lol.
Upcoming Appointments: Anatomy U/S on 12-2-15!
Questions: How long do you ladies wait to lay down after you eat? I feel like I'm not waiting until my food fully digests to go to sleep. I'm not having any bad reactions to it, but I definitely don't want to cause issues down the road.
GTKY: What is your must-have on the Thanksgiving table? Dressing with gravy (or what you ladies call "stuffing") and of course the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows and pecans.....
