Re: Thursday Ticker Change 1/12
How big is baby? grapefruit
Any appointments this week? none until 1/31
Symptoms? I wake up in the night with hip soreness depending on whichever side I'm sleeping on. I miss sleeping on my stomach! I also may just need to replace my sneakers that I exercise in, come to think of it.
Cravings? I've been a little hungrier lately, I think, but for nothing in particular....except maybe cereal and I still love my clementines.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? It's currently our office. We haven't started transitioning it into the baby's room yet. I would really love to get started on this but we're waiting on the master bedroom and bathroom to be completed. One project at a time. I'm getting a little antsy, though!

BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!!
How big is baby? Endive
Any appointments this week? Nope
Symptoms? Still some general aches and pains
Cravings? Wine, so I've been drinking some sparkling juice instead. Also, just a lot of food in general this week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave for @pshaortao and Kohl's savings! Got some really great deals on onesies (12 for $1.50 a piece) and furniture (see below).
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? We do have a room designated as the nursery. My husband is going to paint this weekend, and I just ordered a crib and dresser, which I got for a really good deal from Kohl's! And I'm going to put the $70 Kohl's cash I got from that transaction towards a glider. So, we should have the main bones of the room set up within a month or so. Exciting!

How big is baby?
Size of a banana
Any appointments this week?
Not for another week and a half
Symptoms?
I get irratated more easily by people.
Cravings?
Not really, I find if I eat smaller meals throughout the day versus 3 big meals I don't have cravings as often.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not really. I work all weekend and I know I will be dead tired and sick of people come Sunday morning. I'm really ready for spring to come already because I'm sick of winter.

We have a second bedroom where the baby's clothes will be, but baby will sleep in our room for probably a year. I am almost finished with my registry, I did not know there was so much research that needs to be done on baby products. I'm registering for a stroller/car seat combo and a pack and play/bassinet combo as well. I figure those things will cover my baby's sleeping and transportation needs for a while. As much as a person can read and research different products, you won't really know what works for your baby until you try it out with the baby.
A little late, but here goes.
How far along are you? 24w
How big is baby? cantelope
Any appointments this week? I had a follow up u/s with my MFM on Tuesday and a regular OB appointment on Wednesday. The best news is that my blood pressures are doing really well and my OB is thinking that I may actually make it term this time, if everything remains steady.
Symptoms? I am so hungry all the time now.
Cravings? Cucumbers
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? DS2 will be moving in with DS1 so we have the nursery pretty much set up. I just plan to make some decorative changes. I just need to find the curtains I want and actually start DS2's transition.
11.2011 - DS1
02.2013 - loss at 6 wks
06.2014 - DS2
10.2015 - loss at 12 wks
03.2017 - DD
How big is baby? Coconut. No way thats smaller than a 23wker grapefruit
Any appointments this week? Next Wednesday, just a routine checkup
Symptoms? Also starting to get some hip pain when I sleep on my side. It can't be this uncomfortable so soon!
Cravings? None really. Occasionally something sweet.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just tired this morning and am still nursing my coffee. So I'm in too much of a fog still to come up with anything.
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? Not yet. We close on our house next Thursday then were moving at the end of the month. I have been spending some time on pinterest and looking for ideas until then! We do have a crib in storage and some smaller things. Two bigger purchases post-move will be a dresser and a glider.
How big is baby? Endive...had to look that one up!
Any appointments this week? I have one on the 18th
Symptoms? Hip pain when sleeping - this one is new for me this week. I haven't slept well and it's definitely catching up. Also, my nipples are so painful I have to wear a sports bra to bed, otherwise when I turn over and brush them against the sheets it hurts!
Cravings? Baked goods...but that isn't too different from my non-pregnant self
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am wondering about whether I should have a doula. My husband is balking at the price, so he isn't really on board, but he did say it is my decision.
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? We finally moved the treadmill out of the nursery! My husband also touched up the paint so it looks a lot more fresh. We hope to buy a crib, chair and changing table this weekend. Excited to see it come together!
How big is baby? Cantaloupe.
Any appointments this week? We had a followup with the high risk specialist this week who feels confident saying our little one does not have spina bifida! So hip hip hooray for that. I'll continue to see a high risk specialist for the time being, as she is only measuring in the 25th percentile, with her head in the 12th percentile, just to monitor her progress.
Symptoms? I need to start using my pregnancy pillow at night, as my hips are starting to hurt. Regular chiro visits are helping, though.
Cravings? Suuuuuuuuuugar
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm going to rave that I can finally relax, stop stressing about the health of the baby, and rejoin you lovely ladies for conversation without crying!
GTKY: Nursery - do you have one? Have you done any planning/purchasing yet? We're going to move DS into another room and update his nursery with new colors. I'm not quite sure if he's going to be ready for a toddler bed yet, so for the time being he is going to keep his crib. We'll revisit the idea of moving him into something different a little later.

Baby 2 - Due: 5/4/17
I am 24 weeks and baby Eva's the size of a cantaloupe! No appts this week. Love feeling the movement! This week was the first my hubby was able to feel her, too! So exciting!
Symptoms: backache, hip soreness at night
Cravings: Add clementines to my list. Other than that, same as it has been all pregnancy-pizza, milk, icing, hot breakfast sandwiches, bananas.
Nursery: Walls were painted green a year ago! Her theme is the princess and the frog but it's not strict. Earthy & soft colors. We have all of our furniture now and my mom/sis helped me organize the clothes & things that we do have already, so just decor & finishing touches are needed!
