Re: Monday Ticker Change 06.20.16
What size is baby? cantelope
Upcoming appointments? not really. 5 July?
Rants/Raves/Questions? Definetely starting to get uncomfortable all the time. And the heartburn! Oh the heartburn is terrible.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving all the most terrible fast food that I cannot get here at all. Mcdonalds, panda express, pizza hut, ect. Aversions to pretty much all Tanzanian food. Terribly inconvenient.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? i love buying baby clothes. Even though we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I process all clothing donations at work and so I have always ooohed and aahed over the adorable outfits and now I get to buy my own
What size is baby? Cantaloupe, Eggplant, Atlantic Puffin, GI Joe
Upcoming appointments? None Til July 13
Rants/Raves/Questions? Yay for viability milestone this week!! and LOTS of movement from Baby!

What size is baby? a cantaloupe
Upcoming appointments? Not until July 11, and I have my glucose test the week before
Rants/Raves/Questions? Umm not really, unless I can complain about the heat and lack of AC which means I'm hot and cranky but I was like this every year.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? lemonade!! That is my go to right now, and it makes me feel all better.
GTKY: What's been your favourite part of being pregnant? I think right now it's feeling him kick - I also like that I'm not feeling fat anymore, I feel pregnant and I'm not trying to hide my tummy but showing it off.
What size is baby? Chinchilla
Upcoming appointments? no special appts at this time... GD test not this month, but next
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm freaking out over the amount of stuff we still need to get done before the baby comes. And my biggest concern is the fact that my feet already hurt from standing so much quicker than they used to, for whatever reason, and it's only going to get worse. I had an almost meltdown over it yesterday but, thankfully, DH handled it well. He doesn't usually because he's just not the type to really get worked up over anything so he's really not always sure how to handle. But he did great... if I freak out of things that need to get done, I just need him to plan with me and talk through specifics of how we'll get it done. It's just what makes me feel better about everything. And he did just that. So, plan for today is to get furniture ordered. FX that we get that taken care of and then get a good start on the rest of the nursery too, this week.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still touch and go with meats, but I feel like it's getting better. Yay!
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? I'm definitely not one of those people who just loves being pregnant. It just hasn't been that great. That said, baby kicks are the absolute best!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Tired of being tired, sore, etc. 16 more weeks seems impossible. Happy to have reached viability but one of my besties had a 25 weeker so seeing her go through all the struggles, surgeries, and other ups and downs I am hoping and praying he doesn't grace us with his presence any time soon.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Restless leg syndrome, heart palpitations, heartburn, getting full fast, sore, shortness of breath. Craving Asian food ( my fave when not pregnant so it's about time) , poutine (I had some in Orlando and then my hubs favorite brewery serves a southern take on it. Both were delicious). No aversions still other than the smell of beer. Went to an outdoor rooftop with DH that we go to a lot when not ku and was surprised how badly it smelled of stale beer. Can't stand the smell of beer on DH's breath either
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant?
Ill be completely honest, I hate pregnancy. I did the first time, and it took ten years and a surprise baby to get me to do it again. I like the movements most of all but stress out when I don't feel them. I just wanna fast forward to October and have little man in my arms
What size is baby? Coconut
Upcoming appointments? This coming Saturday, just a check up and I'm sure they will schedule my glucose test
Rants/Raves/Questions? No complaints or anything going on right now.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm afraid to say that I feel pretty good, finally. I'm enjoying this stage of pregnancy. God help me if I just jinxed myself! I literally could eat a cheeseburger EVERYDAY and I come pretty close to that. DH is heading to the store as we speak to get patties for dinner tonight LOL. Chicken is still a no go.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? LOVING all the moments from our little man. He's been so active and it's amazing. My husband can really feel him now too so it makes all the more special!
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

Rants/Raves/Questions? For some reason seeing "17 weeks left to go" gave me serious anxiety. How is time flying by? SO MANY THINGS STILL TO DO!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm on a lemonade kick - specifically Newman's Own lemonade. I cut it with water so it's not as sweet and it's SO GOOD. I also put a splash in with my regular jug o'water this morning and made it so much more delightful to drink!
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? NOT GETTING MY PERIOD!!

Atlantic puffin or ear of corn.

Glucose test July 6
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Is there really an absolute ban on laying on my back? Sometimes a couple of minutes flat on my back just feels so nice. The mild back pain is annoying, and I've had a lot of body image issues. I'm convinced that everyone thinks I'm fat and can't tell I'm pregnant.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I've been ravenous the past few days. All the carbs and fruit, please!
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant?
The kicks are so cool--holy crap there's a person in there! My fingernails look nicer than they've ever looked too. Might be time for a manicure.
25 weeks!
What size is baby?
Cauliflower

Rants/Raves/Questions?
My family thinks it's too early to order furniture and two of them are each buying a piece of furniture. The keep saying I'm over planning but I'm 25 weeks and want it done already! The hubby painted the room this past weekend so I'm hoping to get everyone on board to order furniture in the next two weeks!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I had some spotting last night so I was in the hospital till 3am. (I'm at work and totally exhausted but it's the last week of school so I couldn't call out and my Dr. is closer to work than home anyways.).
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant?
Feeling the little guy kick... And definitely agree with the no periods!
23 weeks!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
nope
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Still having headaches and my back is bad as usual
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant?
Feeling the baby move
If anyone gives you flack about setting things up early, remind them that you don't know when you'll go into labor and you don't know if you'll be on bed rest at any point. I don't think you're crazy at all for wanting to get this done now!
What size is baby? I have no idea this week
Upcoming appointments? Growth scan wednesday and we have all of our fingers and toes that she has gained a few percentiles so we don't have to go back.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have no interest in cleaning out her room or buying a crib anymore. I know I need to get to it but second child syndrome is already in full swing.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? My puking is down to once a week and my heartburn has been manageable. I'm eating okay again finally.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? The early kicks, I felt that was the best part with DS as well. It's only a matter of time before they get painful and keep me up so I'm trying to enjoy them now.
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
What size is baby? Baby's the size of a cantaloupe
Upcoming appointments? July 1st - 26 week appointment
Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like we have NO IDEA what to name this little guy, our list is still currently at 50+ names. Good think we still have a little while to narrow down the list....
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Heartburn and headaches are still a common occurrence, but thankful for Zantac finally working for the heartburn that has been constant throughout this pregnancy. No cravings or aversions nothing really sounds good to eat though which makes meal planning difficult.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? Feeling little guy kick and punch.
What size is baby? Who even knows?! He feels big.
Upcoming appointments? Next week!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think my crazy pregnancy hormones are kicking in. I have been pretty emotionally stable up until no but people are pushing me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Back to being hungry all the times. That comes in waves.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? Feeling him move
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
What size is baby? Too lazy to look it up right now.
Upcoming appointments? Next week! Can't wait!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving yogurt and strawberries and burritos.
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? I love when she kicks!
What size is baby? Coconut
Upcoming appointments? Next week maybe? I'm horrible at keeping track of stuff this time around.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Oh the heat! We were at my aunts cottage with no Ac this past weekend and I still feel overheated. I sat in the kiddie pool the whole time
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I need Mac and cheese now that I saw it in someone's post!
GTKY: What's been your favorite part of being pregnant? I think being this far along in the pregnancy is my favorite...you get to feel the kicks, but they aren't super strong/painful yet. You have a big belly, but no so big you can't get off the floor yet. Nausea is mostly going away, but the baby isn't squishing your stomach yet so you can eat all the food still.
