Re: Thursday Ticker Change 4/14
What's new with baby (size, development):
Poker Chip. Starting to lose the webbing between fingers and toes.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Still nothing. After reading some forums online I'm worried to start planning for a girl (Progenity DNA test results) since the accuracy doesn't seem to be the 99% they advertise.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Morning sickness is suppose to lessen by the end of this week. I can't wait! Hopefully I can go back to enjoying old staples like coffee and eggs.
When is your next appointment:
4/28 unless my bleeding gets worse.
GTKY: Tell me about your happiest childhood memory.
Disneyland trips with my mom or sitting on my dads lap.
What's new with baby (size, development): Size of a Kumquat and can stretch its spine and is moving around
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Bought November birth stone charms for our moms' Pandora bracelets, we'll incorporate that into telling them in a couple of weeks
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: Meat has become very unappealing, which makes me sad, I love meat...Last night I ate two bites of my burger and a bag of cheesy doritos. Good news is I'm craving veggies more and more (I already eat a lot of veggies, but I'm glad I can stomach them). Nausea comes and goes, starts off ok in the AM, but by 2pm hits me like a truck. The exhaustion is still real, I'm not sure how I'm making it through the work day...
When is your next appointment: in 2 weeks! Eek!
GTKY: Tell me about your happiest childhood memory. This is hard to pick. Probably going to the lake cabin with my whole family and extended family. Fishing, cooking out, exploring the woods, seeing all the wild life. It was really great, and we did this yearly. I hope it's something H and I can do with our family one day soon!
What's new with baby (size, development): baby is the size of a kumquat, or a strawberry
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: not shit still

When is your next appointment: next appointment is the 29th.

I can't really think of one right now. I had a tough childhood.
What's new with baby (size, development):
Cherry!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Nothing really.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
- on and off nausea but has improved over the week. Probably thanks to the max dose of Diclegis
- work has been hell. Doesn't this week seem to be the longest week ever?!?!
- can't find baby's hb on the Doppler yet and trying to not freak out but it's definitely taking a toll on me mentally
- I'm just having a shitty week.
When is your next appointment:
3 weeks away...5/5

Probably playing at my grandmothers house with my cousins when I was very young

nothing really this week. Still feeling like I may blow the whole place up at any minute.
When is your next appointment:
April 29 but I have The NT April 26
GTKY: Tell me about your happiest childhood memory.
I had a pretty happy childhood so I have lots of happy memories! I guess I would pick summer camp if I had to settle on one. I went to sleep away which is 8 weeks from June to August. I went for 9 years starting at 8 years old. You're in a bunk with the same girls every year and the bonds you form as you grow are strong. It's the best thing in the whole world.
What's new with baby (size, development): cherry/tater tot - officially a fetus!

When is your next appointment: 4/25 for genetic testing. 5/5 for NT US and OB appt.
GTKY: Tell me about your happiest childhood memory. My dad surprised my whole family with a trip to Europe when I was 14. Flew us to Boston (From California) but didn't tell us where we were going after that. Gave us rhyming clues in the BOS airport to figure out where we were going. My mom was hysterically crying by the second clue which included our passports (my dad had gotten them for us behind her back) and we ended up on a plane to London a few hours later. Also took the Eurostar to Paris for a few days. It was overwhelmingly magical... even though we all packed for East Coast beach weather, not Europe!
8? which is odd, I noticed my ticker change because I'm on the computer for once, but my other app says I'm only 7 weeks and change. oh well, I may have to change ticker change days come the end of the month.

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I've been MIA for the past little while. These past 2 weeks have been hard, I am so tired and feel like I have no energy to do anything. I get home from work and just sit, I don't want to get on social media or watch TV or read or anything. I just sit. So, yeah, I'm definitely behind on all my Nov. 2016 BMB reading.
When is your next appointment: April 27th
