Anything baby related this week? I caved and bought a Doppler, so pending the snow and delivery times I may play with that a little bit.
Rant/rave/questions: I am fighting off a cold but overall feeling really good. I think I've felt the baby twice now- but it's so inconsistent I'm still not sure. Anatomy scan is in 2 weeks today! No real questions right now.
Super bowl pick: Denver because they beat New England, but I'll be at work and missing all of the fun parties.
What week are you? 14 weeks (helloooo, second trimester!)
What fruit/object? Lemon, troll doll
Anything baby related this week? Just got the Progenity results this morning and found out we're having a boy! So now I am scheming fun ways to reveal it to DH. Other than that, just waiting for my 16-week appointment on 2/18.
Rant/rave/questions: Rant is mainly all the aches and pains. I know it's all part of things stretching, but dang, it's uncomfortable! Also: allllll the hormones. I've been so weepy and emotional for the last week, crying at everything! I wasn't like that earlier on.
Rave is that I've had snow days the past two days and it's been SO nice to just relax a little.
Questions: I've just been stressing a little these days trying to figure out where my uterus is and why I can't feel it (I'm assuming it's because I've got extra weight on my belly). I'm planning on asking my OB in two weeks, but still. It's kinda freaking me out.
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? Definitely watching the Super Bowl! I love Super Bowl parties...and the food! Mmm! Will be rooting for Denver.
@elldel if it helps- 20 weeks the top of your uterus is belly button height.. So before that it will always be lower, the only way I can explain knowing where it is is by how much harder that part is than how your regular abdomen feels? That and it feels heavy when I turn now. Don't freak out!
Thanks, @HMcDade1! That does help. I know it's still pretty low and small, so I figured that + the extra weight was making it difficult. I'll try and be patient!
Anything baby related this week? Today is another doc appt! No ultrasound though but hopefully I can talk to them about my heartburn
Rant/rave/questions: Heart burn came back with a vengeance!
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? I have no horse in the race but I am still watching it for the commercials!
What week are you? 16 - My OB adjusted my due date to 7/12 at my last appointment, so I'm a Tuesday girl, now!
What fruit/object? Avocado
Anything baby related this week? Nothing this week other than monitoring all the swap & sell sites and Craigslist for baby furniture. I'm headed back to the doctor next Wednesday for my quad screen.
Rant/rave/questions: I've had more energy since entering the second trimester, but it's pretty short-lived! I had a couple house-cleaning spells last week/over the weekend, and boy did I pay for it either that evening or the next day. It's also painful at times to bend over, and my right hip is bothering the heck out of me. Ah, RLP and relaxin...
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? I don't think I'll be rooting for either team; however I plan to enjoy the commercials and all the party food!
Anything baby related this week? Not really, don't have appointments again until mid-Feb.
Rant/rave/questions: @soberkfell I feel the same way. I got a surge of energy for maybe a week, then I started to feel exhausted again. If I walk or do a chore for a while, I feel it in my hips and lower back. The discomfort is starting a lot earlier this time than last pregnancy.
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks? Who are you picking to win ? We'll probably have a party at our house because we host all the things. That said, I care not much about football. I can't wait for appetizers and terrible food!
Rant/rave/questions: my uterus has been up to my belly button for 2 weeks already (even midwife found it up that high) but it is always to one side(the left) not across my whole abdomen. I don't have a lot of energy, but I have been doing better about keeping in top of house chores.
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? Nope, I don't even know who's playing! Haha
Anything baby related: not until mid February for anatomy scan
Rants/raves/questions: holy hell stretch marks. I weigh less now than when I got pregnant, and I've gotten tons of new ones. They are in the weirdest places too that didn't get them the first go round. Yay pregnancy. Also, MS still lingering, but not too bad. On bedrest, so I think I just notice it more since I'm not moving around a lot!
GTKY: not sure if we will actually watch it, but I want Denver. It would be nice for Manning to win before he retires. Also, I was mad when the Texans fired Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips, so I think it would be the ultimate "up yours" if they won.
Baby Related: Just got my quad screening bloodwork drawn and need to schedule my anatomy scan soon. Can't wait to find out what we're having! We're going to find out first, tell my husband's parents, and then have a small reveal party with some friends
Rants/Raves/Questions: I found the cutest Burt's Bees Baby stuff at Marshall's today! Organic, cute and pretty cheap!
GTKY: Probably not watching the Super Bowl since our team isn't in it, but we'll see!
I haven't participated in a ticker change yet, but I'm a Tuesday
What week are you? 17 weeks! (I also feel that this has flown by, @chanfa)
What fruit/object? Crème Brulée
Anything baby related this week? Anatomy scan next Monday Rant/rave/questions: Movement is still very sporadic, but I love the reassurance
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? YES! I'm from Charlotte so Panthers all the way! I'm so proud of this team!
What fruit/object? Avocado (the bump), dill pickle (Ovia)
Anything baby related this week? I think I have felt a few flutters but I'm not really sure... I've also gotten a lot of comments recently that my bump is starting to show.
Rant/rave/questions: We are all booked on our babymoon to London and are in full force planning mode. The next five weeks will fly by!
GTKY: Are you watching the Super Bowl in 2 weeks ? Who are you picking to win ? I will probably watch it but I don't have strong feelings about either team. I'd like to see Carolina win because they've looked so strong this season (plus as a Pats fan I can't root for Denver)!
@elldel - you can feel it more when your bladder is full because it pushes the uterus up and out. Lay on your back on a firm surface and feel the part of your belly below your belly button. I could feel mine starting around 3 weeks ago.
Re: Tuesday Ticker Change
