1-How far along are you? How big is baby? 19 weeks, a mango
2-How are you feeling? Good. Super gassy and super stressed about my weight.
3-What's going on this week? Any appointments? ANATOMY SCAN ON THURSDAY!!!!! I am so nervous/excited. *TW* We lost our last baby because he had Gastroschisis (organs growing on the outside of his body). So I am just PRAYING this baby is whole and complete and perfect. *End TW* Excited to find out what we are having and hope baby cooperates so we can see! But nervous because DH only agreed to find out the sex if we don't tell anyone. I'm super bad at keeping secrets. So this will be hard.
4-Rants/Raves/Questions: *TW* We've had 2 miscarriages in the last year. Today is the anniversary of our first loss. I wasn't sure how I'd feel today. I kind of keep forgetting about it which makes me feel guilty. But my heart is also hurting. It's weird. I miss my little girl. *End TW*
5-GTKY: (Stealing from weekend Ticker) When you were little (under age 10), what did you want to be when you grew up? Clearly I was going to be a famous movie star/singer. Probably also do some Broadway too. Just to complete my triple threat talent. Lol! But decided at an early age (14) that it wasn't realistic and I should be a Social Worker instead. And that's what I did before becoming a SAHM.
1-How far along are you? How big is baby? 19 weeks- gameboy, zucchini, mango
2-How are you feeling? Great! Hungry all the time.. trying to stay out of the halloween candy.. it's a real struggle!
3-What's going on this week? Any appointments? Nothing for a few weeks.
4-Rants/Raves/Questions: None that I can think of.
5-GTKY: (Stealing from weekend Ticker) When you were little (under age 10), what did you want to be when you grew up? This is funny because I distinctly remember saying I wanted to be a cashier at grocery store when I was probably 5-6, that way I could have all the candy anytime I wanted . Funny enough I was a bagger and cashier at our local grocery store in high school. Thankfully my dreams and aspirations went a little farther than the candy aisle lol. Very early on, I loved taking care of people and knew I wanted to be a nurse. I became that (working in a cardiothoracic ICU for 7 years), went back to school and have now been a nurse practitioner for a little over a year. Loving it! @justkeeptrying Praying for you this week through your loss dates and for a great anatomy scan!

2-How are you feeling? Good, but I can't bend! Lol
3-What's going on this week? Any appointments? Not this week. Anatomy scan is next week! Yay!
4-Rants/Raves/Questions: This gas is super annoying. Moreso to my husband than me!
5-GTKY: (Stealing from weekend Ticker) When you were little (under age 10), what did you want to be when you grew up? An "explorer". And this was before Dora. Lol.. I wanted to get an RV and drive around the country. My parents always told me that's not a job and that everything has already been discovered. Go figure.
3-What's going on this week? Any appointments? None this week since we had our scan last week.
4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
They could get a look at little man's heart so we have to go back next month for another u/s, it feels weird since we could hear the heart why they need a visual. Probably just paranoid mommy.
5-GTKY: (Stealing from weekend Ticker) When you were little (under age 10), what did you want to be when you grew up? A nurse or chef. I loved cooking but also wanted to help people who were hurt.
@sassypants2010, I could be wrong but I think they want the visual of the heart to confirm that there are 4 chambers and that all are working properly. Hearing the heartbeat is very reassuring. But seeing it allows them to confirm that there is no underlying heart condition to be aware of. Not to worry you. I'm sure everything is fine. But that's the reasoning behind them wanting to see it and not just hear it.

4-Rants/Raves/Questions:
Where does one buy maternity support hose for your legs? My veins are horribly painful.
5-GTKY: (Stealing from weekend Ticker) When you were little (under age 10), what did you want to be when you grew up? A teacher and that’s what I became. I’m currently am a SAHM though, but will return most likely in a few years until we are down to one in daycare.
