Re: Friday Ticker Change Check In
Week: five
What's new with baby?: We've reached the apple seed stage! Or peppercorn, depending on which app I look at.
What's something new you're doing to get ready for baby?: Just trying to stay calm and healthy at this point!
R/R/S/Q: Just had a really weird episode of intense pelvic cramping, dizziness, nausea and hot flashes. No blood and it passed after about 15 minutes though, hoping it was gas/hormones. Trying not to panic and hoping that's not something I have to look forward to for the next 35 weeks.
Next Appointment: March 29 (8w4d)
GTKY: Hmmm...probably pizza!
What's new with baby (size, development): I think it's implanting this week!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Sleep!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I was not sick at all with my first, but I am finding the nausea surprisingly comforting this time. Thankfully though, it's not very bad (yet...) and I can easily work through it. I may change my tune if I find myself face-first in our toilet
When is your next appointment: Not until March 30th
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? This bomb carnitas burrito I had at this amazing little hole in the wall carniceria near our house the other day. Oh my gosh...I'm still salivating over it!
Week: 5
What's new with baby (size, development):
heart starts beating this week- yay!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: so far DH and I are just throwing name ideas around and vetoing everything pretty much.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Still just sore boobs and bloat/gas/belly pressure. Nothing new yet.
When is your next appointment:
April 8th
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
What's new with baby (size, development): Based on everyone elses answers, appleseed!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I've been getting more comfortable clothing to wear that's stretchy and will move with me the bigger I get. Hello LLR!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I'm sick and this sucks. I think I caught RSV from my toddler, which scares me to no end because I remember last time I was on TB a woman lost her baby second tri and said it was from RSV. BUT everything I've read online says baby should be fine but may have asthma when they're older, so I'm confused but trying to relax. Dr says it's nbd. For symptoms, my blump is glorious and the the gas is at another level.
When is your next appointment: Thursday! It will just be to pee on a stick and get a pap though. I'll probably get a U/S 2 weeks after that
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? So I was going to say Pizza, but I'm lactose intolerant, so it would have to come with Lactaid pills. BUT @MrsBigTime reminded me of Anna's Taquaria (?) carnitas burritos, so I'm going with that! It's probably better for me too.
What's new with baby (size, development): poppyseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing very different than what I was doing when TTC. Still eating healthy and exercising.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Went to RE for third beta draw this morning. Levels were low on Monday since I tested at 10 DPO. They doubled Wednesday and hopefully will double again today.
When is your next appointment: Was today. They may do one more draw early next week. After that, we'll have an u/s at 6 weeks.
GTKY: Mac and cheese. The baked kind. I make mine with cheddar, Gouda, eggs and sour cream. So. Good.
ETA: betas came back good! They've more than doubled since Wednesday. Looks like numbers may have been low initially because it was still early. Doing one more round of betas Monday morning - I appreciate my RE being overly precautious.
NTNP: May 2015
TTC #1: late August 2015
PCOS Dx: January 2016, starting Femara Feb 2016
BFP: 2/29/16 - Happy Leap Day!
What's new with baby (size, development): Apple seed! Should have it's heart beat soon
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: trying to continue to eat healthy and exercise.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
i started progesterone... And there have been some weird and gross side effects!
When is your next appointment: my next appointment is March 16
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be?
Bagels
What's new with baby (size, development): a Poppyseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: To be honest, we are still in shock. The only thing we did last night was discuss possible names but even that didn't feel "real".
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Still feeling slightly crampy but that's it. Glad I don't have any other symptoms at this point because I know they'll come but the lack of symptoms isn't helping me believe I'm prego lol
When is your next appointment: Will call my OB on Monday to schedule the first appt. She'll likely want to see my around the 6 week mark.
GTKY: If you were trapped on an island with one food, what would it be? Relleno de Papas. Translated: Stuffed Potatoes. It's basically kind like a mashed potato stuffed with delicious meat and covered with flour then fried. Sooooo not good for you but sooooo delicious! Ugh, now I want one it's been forever since I've had one.
What's new with baby: Size of a peppercorn/appleseed
Something to get ready for baby: I bought a rock n play and swing yesterday
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Come and go. Mostly peeing a ton, sore boobs, bloating like an mf.... a little nausea, but not horrible yet
Next appointment: March 15th
GTKY: Only one? Oye! Honestly food kinda sounds gross right now.... ummmmm..... dark chocolate - does that count? Lol
What's new with baby (size, development): Appleseed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Casually mentioning babies to our daughter. Definitely not telling her yet, but she still says "no!" when we ask her if she wants a baby sibling like her friends. So I want her to be excited when the time comes!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I've already had nausea and vomiting! I never threw up when I was pregnant with DD. And I'm so tired. I slept from 8-6 last night!
When is your next appointment: March 14 (6w+3) for 1st ultrasound w/ RE! Can't wait to see the
