Re: Monday Ticker Change 5/23
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm still waiting on energy to come back. And I'm so - not- interested in sex, which is weird.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I basically feel like these days I am just eating to survive. Hardly ever does something "sound good". Meh.
GTKY: Tell me something random! On Thursday my neighbor had an adorable baby boy! He's so precious.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so excited that I'm finally feeling the baby! And DH was also able to feel movement on Friday... our little girl was going crazy in there
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Meat is still touch and go and my nausea seems to have been worse over the past few days, but I'm sure that'll pass.
GTKY: Tell me something random! My mom has started planning my baby shower and wants my input because I told her I'd rather have a co-ed cookout that everyone has fun at than a traditional shower where everyone watches me open gifts. It's just not my jam. SO, she's wanting my input for things because it's just not the kind of shower she's used to throwing and she's declined help from a close friend who is also preggo because she doesn't want her having to deal with it for some reason. I LOVE that she's wanting help. I absolutely love planning gatherings like this so I'm having to hold back from just taking over and doing it all lol... I can't wait for the party squeee!
Rants/Raves: I have a cold. Having a cold while pregnant is no good.
Symptoms/Cravings: The nausea is decreasing, but the fatigue is forever.
GTKY: my parents usually watch my toddler while I work on the weekends. They are keeping her for an extra day for us so I can rest and H can take care of some stuff around the house. I want to get a ton of stuff done, but I need to rest. Maybe I'll compromise...cleaning and then a Netflix marathon.
Rants/Raves/Questions? SO excited for my anatomy scan on Thursday! Can't come fast enough! I've also been feeling my little boy more and more, I love it!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still getting headaches, but not as bad as they were. I probably just jinxed myself. I crave tootsie rolls, twizzlers and pickles. And chicken is still YUCK to me.

Me, my mom and my dad all share the same birthday - March 14
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
BFP 02-15-16 with our first
IT'S A BOY!!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've been getting vertigo the last few days, and don't want to move. Upside: the not moving has let me feel the baby more, and I felt movements almost all day yesterday
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still fatigue, and the RLP is getting pretty annoying. Also have had some BH the last couple of days, which are a touch uncomfortable. Still craving pickles and salads with balsamic dressing. I must need something in the vinegar. Also sauerkraut, I had a hotdog yesterday, and I think there was more sauerkraut than meat on that thing lol.
Also, still have a very strong meat aversion in the morning. Even the smell of meat makes me gag till noon or 1, then its super tasty. Kinda weird.
GTKY: Tell me something random! I started watching Downton Abbey for the first time yesterday, and I'm addicted. I'm a few episodes into season 2 already lol.
Size of a banana, paper airplane, and a couple other weird, random things.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The cold I was suffering through has finally left!!!! But now hubs has it (I told him to be glad he could at least take good meds).
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I am still loving some ice cream. Chicken aversion has gotten better - ate half a piece of grilled chicken last week. But then I was done.
GTKY: Tell me something random! The guy at Best Buy asked me when my due date was. Apparently his 7 month old was also due October 10 but she was born at 37 weeks. Thanks for the info, buddy.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Loving the constant movement of our little soccer baby
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nope I'm sticking to my diet, at this point.
GTKY: Tell me something random! My mother's coming to visit I feel like I'm nesting for her clean clean clean OCD has returned
19. Mango,zucchini or hot dog.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing really this week. Although I don't have a cold or feel completely terrible for once, so that's a win. And I actually look pregnant now so hopefully that means people will get out of the way on the sidewalk or wherever. It's the little things. We painted the baby's room on a whim this weekend and it looks good! And it didn't take long at all.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
My stomach muscles hurt, but that's about it for symptoms right now. Salad still sounds gross, but not as gross as it has in the past. As far as cravings go, nothing specific except for I want something "juicy." I don't know what exactly, but anything that fits the bill - plums, apples, actual juice, whatever.
GTKY: Tell me something random!
Eh, I never know what to share for things like this.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Still haven't felt the little one move! I'm trying to stay calm and not freak out, but it's hard after reading how many people are feeling movements at this stage! Thought I felt something Friday night, like little spasms across my tummy, but very faint and hasn't happened since. I have my A/S on Friday, so 1.) hoping all is well, and 2.) hoping I get the doc's thoughts on when I will feel something...
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I had swollen ankles on Friday and it really freaked me out...I'm like, I'm not ready for these! Luckily, they eased up by Saturday morning. Chalking it up to being out in the sun all day and not drinking enough water... Also, still craving pickles like they're going out of style.
GTKY: Tell me something random! I have NEVER had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

Also, I had my first PB&J in college... because, ya know... I was poor in college. lol... I also disliked PB so I made it heavy on the J and light on the PB. Now I like them. I mean, I'm not PB&J fanatic but I get it.
20 weeks (HALFWAY!!!') banana
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just struggling with water retention which is stressful (have AS tomorrow and I don't want to weight heavy. I did so good this month and only gained 2lbs until late last week when 4 extra popped up out of nowhere. I think somehow the stress from dr appointments makes me hold on to every drop of water until it's over). Also found out I get 12 weeks paid maternity after I thought I would only get 8. I told DH that I'd probably take off 2 or 3 weeks before due date since I have such a long commute, but he was upset that I wouldn't want the extra time with the baby. I do want the time but don't wanna be miserable and constantly worried my
water will break in front of my coworkers.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Symptoms: Overall, I feel ok. I have had problems with dizziness and overheating if I stand too long. I had a long convo in the break room on Friday then had to sit down because the room suddenly felt scortching hot. I had a similar experience when we were on a walking tour in Savannah and the tour guide stopped for about 15 min to talk.
Craving white chocolate Reese's cups and edamame (not together but can't get enough of either at the moment). I also wanna eat lots of ice (I went through that day
No aversions. I can eat anything.

I am having my kids 10 1/2 years apart. My son was born when I was 22 (same father just really didn't plan on more children). It's kind of a thing in my family. My sister was born 11 years after me (first sibling and we have the exact same parents) and I have two cousins with similar distances between 1st and 2nd children. I was a lot of help to my mom but since I have a boy so I'm sure I won't get as much help out of my 10 y/o.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My stomach/uterus is very painful when I change positions in the middle of the night.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? No salad still. I've started putting spinach in my smoothies.
GTKY: Tell me something random! Because of a conflict with my work schedule I just found out that my midwife is going to let me come in for our A/S a week early. Tomorrow morning at 9AM!
19 weeks, mango
Rants/Raves/Questions?
just still having headaches rant/symptom
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
still avoiding meat, wanting fruit and ice cream, cranberry juice
GTKY: Tell me something random!
a/s is Thursday and I'm excited/nervous but we're not finding out and I'm hoping I can stay strong.
21 weeks today! Size of an endive!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Had my glucose test today, a bit early, because diabetes runs in my family. Praying I don't have to do the three hour one and I pass this one!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Chicken is on the back burner again!
GTKY: Tell me something random!
I am a huge Pink fan! I was talking to hubby about playing music during labor to calm myself and it's all her albums lol
Rants/Raves/Questions? I FINALLY felt my little boy move! I was starting to get concerned (even though my doc said it was still early) but I wasn't feeling anything besides discomfort. On Friday I felt an obvious "tap" which was something I haven't felt before, and then yesterday I felt the flutter everyone talks about. So excited! Can't wait for hubby to be able to feel him too.
Symptoms/Cravings/Food Aversions? No real cravings, minor food aversions that go down okay, but don't stay down. The one symptom I'm suffering with is my uterus is constantly feeling tender, which I know is just from it stretching, but it feels like I did a major ab workout and I can't move properly (even lifting my leg to put it into panties hurt the uterus muscles, so I have to sit down to do it).
GTKY: Tell me something random. My mom came up to my place to help me plant my garden, which I'm super excited about. Only thing I can't figure out is why hubby and I bought 6 different type of hot peppers (and I mean seriously hot peppers) and we have at least 16 tomato plants. Can anyone say salsa??
20 weeks! Ovia app says baby is the size of an axolotl, an amphibian native to Mexico.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I think I started to feel movement this weekend! My rant is that as much as I am trying to not worry about (or even look at) the scale, as someone who has struggled with weight issues in the past, I find the pregnancy weight gain a bit of a psychological drain/strain/test. I just have to constantly remind myself that baby is growing on track and that's what is important!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Damn this heartburn. I love all the carbs and fruits. No serious aversions.
GTKY: Tell me something random!
This is my first time on the ticket change thread because I had two different estimated due dates based on LMP and NT scan. Anatomy scan was consistent with prior scan and the slightly later date makes more sense to me. But they were close enough that doc's office didn't adjust.
21 weeks, a baseball cap
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm so tired of the nausea! Ugh! I can't wait to just feel better. Sometimes it's better than others and lately I noticed it's worse when I'm in the car, even for just a short trip.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I don't really have cravings or a desire to eat. When I find something that sits right with my tummy I usually stick to that for a while, lately popcorn and salad.
GTKY: Tell me something random!
I have an extra bone in my ankle. We found out after I injured it in high school and had it x-rayed.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My pelvic bone feels like it is falling apart. Everything happens sooner the second time. I've got the a/s in the morning!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? All food is an aversion. I still don't know if that is pregnancy or my medicine.
GTKY: Tell me something random! I've shook hands with the Pope. I can't stand avocado or sour cream.

@laurapcos your garden is beautiful.
Rants/Raves/Questions? So last night my hubby and I decided to be intimate. That didn't last, I had slight bleeding. I have an appointment tomorrow anyways and I wasn't too alarmed because it stopped and was just alittle. I have an anterior placenta this time around so I know it's bound to happen, but we must show each other lovin others ways. That was kind of scary.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Fruits and veggies. Thank goodness because with my daughter it was Twix bars.
GTKY: random fact: I am a firewalker.:)
