Re: Monday Ticker Change
2.What size are you at? These sizes keep getting weirder! A tropical cocoanut, a roller blade, and an echidna. I feel like none of those things are the same size
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Nope! Just nesting !
4.rants/ raves? I actually had a great night sleep last night so that was huge for me!
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ?
Red meat like steak mashed potatoes and wine!! Or hot dogs and a margarita !
2.What size are you at? Kale or lettuce head
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Nope, just trying to find a house
4.rants/ raves? Love feeling this little guy move!
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? Whatever someone is willing to bring me!!
2.What size are you at? I think it's an eggplant this week.
3. Doing anything baby related this week? I need to go in for my glucose test today. Fingers crossed that I passed, my midwife told me to eat eggs for breakfast but 1) I don't like eggs all by themselves and 2) we don't have any eggs in the house. So I opted for some yogurt and string cheese, hoping that's "low carb" enough because it was the best I can do.
4.rants/ raves? Ranting about my weight gain. 30lb in 28 weeks is making me feel guilty, and the feeling is even worse when some of the maternity stuff I bought in 1st tri is getting to be too tight. And I have to rave about my husband, because he just wants me to be happy. This is the start of my second week of being a full time housewife (in prep for being a SAHM, of course) and I feel SO fantastic emotionally and mentally, and it's starting physically too now that I have time to get on the treadmill and do some light workouts.
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? There's really nothing I have refrained from eating so far, so I'm not desperately craving anything food-wise, but probably something carb and protein heavy. I would like a bottle of wine, a pitcher of margaritas, and a pitcher of mimosas please. That reminds me, I need to start making a list of foods that encourage milk production! SO much to do in the next 12 weeks!
2.What size are you at? @Lindsayleigh1989 I had the same thought this morning when I was reading my weekly baby update. A roller blade and a coconut are VERY different in size...
3. Doing anything baby related this week? I have my last monthly appointment! Sh!t's getting real.
4.rants/ raves? I feel like this pregnancy has flown by up until last week. I think it's because it is all starting to feel so real and I am getting so excited that now it seems to be creeping by. I am so ready for July so I can meet this little guy!
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? I am a HUGE craft beer geek so I have been stock piling seasonal beers that I can't get all of the time. I don't know which one I will choose when the time comes, but I am excited either way! I have also pinned a few summer drinks on Pinterest that I can't wait to try (like this one: https://www.dessertfortwo.com/peach-wine-slushies/ and this one: https://www.fromvalerieskitchen.com/2015/04/blackberry-lemonade-margaritas/) And I have already made plans for my best friend to bring me sushi from my fav place after delivery. YUM. My mouth is watering.
1. How many weeks? 26
2.What size are you at? Kale - when did we switch to veggies? I liked the fruit comparisons better
3. Doing anything baby related this week? We have our 2nd baby class on Wednesday (talking about labor this week!) and we're making plans to go pick out our crib & some other furniture for baby's room this weekend.
4.rants/raves? Raving about my husband - he's by far my biggest supporter in everything and really helped me out this weekend when I was feeling in a funk and stressed out by my parents. My parents are a rant for this week. A couple months ago they tried to push a used crib on us to "save us the expense" and wouldn't hear it when I told them that we can afford our own crib. They weren't asking what I was wanting, thought they were being heroes by giving us a used crib (slightly sentimental - they bought the crib the day before I was born but it has since been through 5 kids in 26 years.) Now all of a sudden mom gets a bonus at work and tells me that she is going to buy us a crib and to make sure and get one picked out. Ugh. Add to this rant that my left pinky finger is numb and my shoulder hurts - typically signs of being really stressed. The fun of hormones & emotions!
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy? There hasn't really been any food that I've been craving that I can't have so I'm not sure. NA drink is going to be Diet Mountain Dew & alcoholic drink is going to be a frozen strawberry daiquiri ... love frozen drinks in the summer!
Taking my glucose test on Friday. Doctor said not to eat before it. The earliest I can go in is 9:30, so I am sure I will be starving!
GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? I will probably wait a few weeks, but I am really excited for summer berry sangria or a glass of New Age wine! I didn't really care too much for food after my c-section, so I will just eat whatever is brought to me.
2.What size are you at? rollerblade, coconut. With you ladies on how weird the sizes are getting now.
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Hopefully getting more done in the nursery, I have barely started and I'm so feeling the nesting urge so I want to do more! Also a regular OB appointment on Wednesday.
4.rants/ raves? I majorly stubbed my toe when we were moving last week and it hasn't stopped hurting since. It's a weird pain that's more irritating than anything else. I'm also so sick of the raging heartburn in the middle of the night. I've started sleeping at a huge incline with the help of every pillow we own, and it helps some nights and others not. But it is all so worth it every time I feel this baby move. It is the coolest feeling, and I will really miss it when she's born.
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? I haven't really limited myself as far as food; I've been careful and doing well with everything in moderation (some things more than others) so I will probably just have whatever I'm craving at the time, most likely Chipotle. Drink is a bit tougher.. I want a long island, I want a margarita, I want a bottle of wine.. I can't make up my mind!
ETA pretty sure I had my first Braxton Hicks contractions today. Holy uncomfortable!
2.What size are you at? Eggplant? Idk, I don't pay attention anymore cause it doesn't make any sense..
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Nope. I did he glucose test last week and passed, yay.
4.rants/ raves? Bummed out over this past weekend (rant), but obsessed with my husband and how amazing he is (rave). He always says the best things at the right times and I appreciate him so much.
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy? Red red wiiiiiiiine...
i haven't really refrained from eating anything so.. I figure the mood will strike for something specific once the baby is out so. But seriously, I've told people to sneak me one of those red wine juice boxes. I'm a huge wino and a really bold red wine is all I've consistently craved...
2.What size are you at? Eggplant or coconut. Agree with you @Lindsayleigh1989 these things are getting weirder!!
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Just nesting
4.rants/ raves? Having a lot of sciatic pain now which is new and headaches just won't let up. I miss my ibuprofen!! Tylenol does nothing
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? An Italian hoagie and some wine and martini yummmm.
1. How many weeks ? 27 weeks
2.What size are you at? Lettuce and double big gulp
3. Doing anything baby related this week? Just getting ready in general. Last Saturday I had a shower/sex reveal and found out we're having 2 boys. Yay!
4.rants/ raves? Nope
5. GTKY: first meal and or drink you will have post pregnancy ? Probably a cherry coke. If I actually make it to my due date of 7/11, it'll probably be of the slurpee variety.
