Re: Friday Ticker Change (22.July)
* Rants or Raves? I really don't feel well. Yesterday was rough. I felt like my heart was racing, and I was dizzy and lightheaded on and off. Plus, I just felt an even more overwhelming exhaustion than usual. Today I feel better, but not good. I'm wondering if it's the extreme heat? But, I have been inside... who knows.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? I bought a few sleepers for the baby. We have a lot of stuff already as this is our second baby (and second boy). But, Baby #2 still gets a few things to call his own. ;-)
* How are you feeling? Well, I answered that above.... oops.
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that? Two people. One of my sister's friends and one of my friends. I'm pretty close to both - and they both asked (albeit after they were already rubbing it). I don't mind. It's not something I'd ever want to do to someone else's belly, but it doesn't really bother me.
* Rants or Raves? It's so darn hot and I turn into a sweaty mess with the slightest movement.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? I've been buying up some clothes this week. This is our second girl, so we have a lot of stuff already, but DD1 was born in July so we do need to get her some long-sleeve stuff. I've also been buying up some decorations for the nursery.
* How are you feeling? I'm starting to get big and uncomfortable, which makes me whiny. Also, did I mention that it's as hot as Hades?
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that? No, thank goodness. I have RBF though, so I think that discourages most people from getting too close!
* How many weeks are you? 28 weeks.
* Rants or Raves? Rave: I'm still within my target weight gain range! Have gained 19 lbs so far, and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of food. Matter of fact, I've had ice cream every night for the last 4 nights. Ha! Rant: I get winded so much faster now... and my hips feel like they're gonna give from this weight.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? I bought a Gap knitted sweater with the little bear ears. So adorable! Got it in red as it will be his Christmas sweater.
* How are you feeling? For the most part, good.
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that? YES. Felt strange and weird, but the guy was so nice (it was our concierge at office bldg) that I didn't have the heart to tell him NO!
* Rants or Raves? I really don't have any raves. I feel like crap. Feet are swollen to the size of Texas. Starting to have braxton hicks contractions, always tired/sleepy. It's a major chore to shave my legs etc.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? My mom has bought the car seat stroller combo. Don't get it until my baby shower on 8/20.
* How are you feeling? See above. Feel like crap. Have to pee all the time.
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? It doesn't really bother me honestly. People are curious and I am a people person. I just deal with it.
29!
* Rants or Raves?
No rants! We are 21 days out from our OB/MFM's goal of 32 weeks. So crazy!
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby?
Flooring for the nursery. Haha. I have a filled online cart for H&M that I am about to purchase.
* How are you feeling?
Okay! Sometimes my back hurts, but I feel mostly okay.
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that?
I haven't had anyone that I don't like touch my belly. If a stranger did it, I wouldn't know how to react because I hate confrontation.
Me: 28 DH: 27
Rant: I just want to sleep through the night but the hip.pain wakes me every hour or so....
We just got our 1st baby shower present in the mail, pretty exciting. Oh and I bought mommy and baby matching robes, perfect for newborn pics!!
I feel tired, sooo tired.
Luckily Nobody has tried, I wouldn't handle it well of a stranger touches me. Family and close friends that's fine.
28w0d - according to TB third trimester, though according to my book I've been third tri for 2 weeks now...
* Rants or Raves?
I am so. freaking. hot. I had pretty bad heat exhaustion on Wednesday and major heat rash today. I haven't been able to eat anything but ice cream.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby?
We just got a couple gorgeous thick white outfits and a newborn rattle from my dad's (very rich) business partner. The little guy is going to look like a cuddly snowman when he wears it
* How are you feeling?
Hot.
Aside from that I am actually feeling pretty good. Baby seems to have moved off my nerve yet my bad heartburn still hasn't come back so that's nice!
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that?
A lot of people, but all friends and family. Honestly they only weird ones were my parents, and especially my mother, because we just don't have a touching relationship. Aside from that I actually usually like it.
DS#2 due 25 April 2019
~ @ball4768 don't count on RBF forever. I too am afflicted and have started receiving comments regularly and 2 hands have reached already.
~ @annabenanna that sweater sounds adorable! I love Gap's sweaters
~ @samkins That sounds amazing! I should have picked one up today. But I did get cherries and cucumbers...
* How many weeks are you? 29 weeks!
* Rants or Raves? I just have one really but it's both. I'm so annoyed that I ALREADY have to start every week appointments and scheduling is terrible so I'll have to miss a half day of work each time. BUT I'm gonna have the most photographed pre-birth baby ever. 6 more ultrasounds scheduled before 38 weeks.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? I just picked up a cute little wildlife board book with touchable bits in it.
* How are you feeling? Hot, fat, miserable, constipated, and tired. Isn't it wonderful!
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that? Had a random little old lady go in for the reach while in line at the grocery store but my H blocked her. I'm definitely not a touchy person. Like, tested me as a child for autism behavior because I hate touch. I wish strangers wouldn't. I can deal with friends/family but not randos.
i had my baseball coach rub/jiggle my belly lol I was soooo tempted to be like "ya you just grabbed a hole lotta fat there Bill, as my baby is wayyyyyy lower than that" but I know he was just being excited for me.
LOL I woulda died!
* Rants or Raves? Baby moves so much more than I remember my son doing! Insomnia kind of sucks. I've been really restless lately.
* What's the last thing you bought/received for baby? Our crib just recently came in! Yay! Also just got an order of some girly cloth diapers!
* How are you feeling? Pretty good overall! Don't really have a lot of complaints... YET.
* Has anyone (besides your SO/children) tried to touch your belly? What do you think about that? I'm not terribly comfortable with it. Luckily everyone has at least had the decency to ask first.
