Re: Wednesday Ticker Change (Jan. 3)
27 weeks. Lettuce!
2) How are you feeling?
Huge! Ribs are sinking into my chest, not easy to sit comfortably.
3) Any appointments this week?
Nope. Hubby and I are at a spa retreat this week for some R&R
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Getting tired of people thinking I'm due any time now. I tend to start off saying, yes I know I'm huge. Nope, not twins.
5) GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you always want to be when you grew up?
I always wanted to teach math. I loved math so much! Pictured myself with a briefcase, heels and a suit. I got that part right, but not the teacher part. I'm a Manager for People Analytics in HR. Guess I got the numbers part right too!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
27 weeks, lettuce.
2) How are you feeling?
Mostly fine, uncomfortable now and then but not feeling super pregnant.
3) Any appointments this week?
Glucose 3 hour test today, barely failed it and have to take another day off for this one
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Have to get my dress fitted for my brothers wedding in a few weeks. I was pregnant when the dresses were chosen, but the style that was picked is a nearly naked looking dress that is not easily alterable like bridesmaid dresses usually are, so i have to completely have the dress remade. The part that zips in the boobs in the back is sheer lace with the rest of the back cut out on top, the sides, and towards the lower back. like totally exposed and zero support up top. so I'd be embarrassed to wear it even non pregnant and somewhat in shape.....
5) GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you always want to be when you grew up?
I think a veterinarian for a little, then either a writer or a lawyer. Still haven't figured it out lol!!!

25 weeks...cauliflower, prairie dog, rutabaga
2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good! I think doubling up on my iron supplements like my cousin recommended is working, because I finally don't feel exhausted all the time.
3) Any appointments this week?
Nope, not til next week.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Already annoyed at strangers commenting on my pregnancy. I know it's only going to get worse, and I can only be nice for so long.
5) GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you always want to be when you grew up?
A vet! That changed once I realized that vets had to do stuff like put animals to sleep, though. I also had a brief period where I REALLY wanted to be a librarian.
@KZ1126 Maybe this will help?? Fingers crossed for you! https://apracticalwedding.com/kim-kardashian-boob-tape-bra-trick/

25 weeks. Cauliflower
2) How are you feeling?
BIG. Not sleeping so well now that I feel like I'm sleeping with a bowling ball strapped to my stomach. Started to feel some stabbing pains in my midsection today; thinking that it's gas pain from constipation rearing it's head again. I've been taking iron supplements for anemia, but I think I may need to increase my intake like @ksmwalters since I've been really tired lately.
Other than that, I got a pregnancy support belt today! Hopefully it will help with some of the lower abdominal pain. I'll give an update next week.
3) Any appointments this week?
This Friday I go for my monthly appt. I think I'll be doing the glucose test.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Love my pregnancy pillow! I got the Boppy Pregnancy pillow, and it's working out well. I find that I wake having turned onto my back a lot though. It hasn't hurt, but it does make me wake up and need to turn from feeling uncomfortable.
5) GTKY: When you were a kid, what did you always want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a cowgirl so bad! I wanted to train horses and work on a ranch. I did work with horses a lot since my dad was a saddle maker, and my first job was exercising horses for a few people when I was 17. I did that for about 5 years through college. I started to even do some training with younger horses at that time, but the folks I was working for later really made me not want to be a part of that world anymore. So many horse farms are owned by people that buy horses with the intent to raise and sell them, but don't always have the funds to maintain the animals wellbeing with profits in mind. Argg... I could go on about this forever, as it is a hot topic for me. I still love working with horses, but I can't take every horse home with me to protect them from other people. Training horses is the hardest thing to do when you can't control the person who owns them or teach that person how to properly work with them.
28 weeks
2) How are you feeling?
ok. A tad worried about low platelet count of 118. Monitoring my platelets.
3) Any appointments this week?
yesterday. Found out about low platelets and my challenge test came back fine.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
just wish people would say "you look great" vs "ohhhh you are soooo big now" lol
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you?
I would be in Europe...all over Europe. With my parents, my brother, and hubby. And it would be summer time. I would be hitting the beach and dining at the most gorgeous locations. My camera in one hand and a notebook/diary in the other.
2) How are you feeling? Sleep and congestion and back pain, but some days are worse than others and today is a not so bad day I can tell (yay!)
3) Any appointments this week? I have one next week.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you? In this fantasy, am I pregnant or not? lol. If I'm not pregnant in this fantasy then I'd be hiking through national parks with MH and drinking wine and there's a personal chef involved and several nice hotels. If I'm pregnant in this fantasy then I am doing a staycation with MH (where he doesn't work at either of his jobs... AT ALL, and cannot receive phone calls or emails related to work on his magical work-free phone)... and there's also a personal chef... and a house cleaning service.
28 weeks - Eggplant
2) How are you feeling?
Fine, on iron now which helps. Waking up so early in the morning with awful charlie horses again which sucks, but other than that I've been lucky.
3) Any appointments this week?
I failed one hour of the long glucose test by 4 points, so I have the option of being officially diagnosed and seing a nutritionist and perinatal specialist this week or taking the test again in 4 weeks. So I'm redoing the test and just following the diet they recommend to be safe. The hour I failed they were late on the draw so it was not a full hour, so I'd rather not treat something I don't really have.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
This is super petty, but my DH never refills the dog treat jar. So I jokingly always say oh look the treat fairy refilled the jar. It's annoying, the treats are on a high shelf in the garage and it is cold down there! I'm mad at DH right now and have been minimally speaking to him for 2 days, and I def took the last treat yesterday. This morning, the jar was full AND he had put away his clean folded clothes that I left in a basket for him which he never does. Small victories......
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you?
I would be by myself on a warm beach. Sleeping and eating and sunbathing.

26 weeks - kale
2) How are you feeling?
Been feeling some upper abdominal pain that I think is due to some bad constipation from the iron supplements...Going to ask my doctor about it though, but for now, I'm taking some mirolax.
3) Any appointments this week?
This Friday.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm with @nancysimp on this one, It'd be nice for folks not to make a huge deal about how supposedly "huge" I am...
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you? I would love to go to Cocoa beach right now with my husband and stay at The Inn on Cocoa beach again... It's our favorite spot to relax, we even got to see a rocket launch from cape Canaveral there a few years ago. The hotel is so cozy, the water is so nice, and there's usually not too many people there. We've usually only stayed there for a few nights, but we never want to leave when we get there! It would be so cool to have a longer stay, do nothing, and just relax. This is my fantasy whether pregnant or not.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
26 weeks...kale, slow loris, scallion
2) How are you feeling?
Really good, actually! Zero complaints.
3) Any appointments this week?
Yep, I have my monthly checkup tomorrow as well as my GD test. I’m a little worried about it but they did early testing on me and my numbers were super low, so here’s hoping that they’re still that way!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
None that I can think of today.
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you?
I would go somewhere tropical (in this fantasy no Zika exists) like St. Lucia. DH and I are planning a week long trip for Jan ‘19 and I’m already fantasizing about it.
I had to delete the app last week so I'm super late to this party lol. I'm 28 weeks and so so glad to be in the home stretch.
2) How are you feeling?
really freaking exhausted. The first of the month is so busy at work, and we just lost two of our team to a new location so I've been doing three jobs at once. As a result, my feet have started swelling and my heartburn is out of control. I'm ready to be DONE working.
3) Any appointments this week?
Next one is Thursday the 21st!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
ha, I already ranted about work. So I'm good.
5) Dec 13 GTKY: if you were to plan a month long holiday right now, where would it be too and who would be there with you?
I really want to see Europe, so that's where I'd spend my month. France, Germany, England, Ireland... and I'd take the hubs.
29 weeks. About 15 inches the app says...
2) How are you feeling?
tired!!!! I can fall asleep around 2pm since I've been waking up at 4am.
3) Any appointments this week?
Nope.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
so very ready to stop working. The stress is really horrible. I was anxious about baby coming and not sleeping but a part of me is saying bring it on...I gotta make the life switch anyhow and work probably gives me even more headaches and issues. Haha
5) Dec 20 GTKY: what is your favorite part of the day?
I love the morning. I feel happy to see a new day and love getting things done early. Around 11am, my day goes downhill and I slow down. 6pm isn't bad either...it means dinner is being prepped and I'm in my pjs.
2) How are you feeling? My symptoms randomly bother me much more or less on certain days and sometimes certain times of day and I can't find a pattern, but I think today might be OK.
3) Any appointments this week? Yep, tomorrow I have my OB and first NST.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Did you guys have a NST yet? How did it go?
5) Dec 20 GTKY: what/when is your favorite part of the day? Um, the time when I don't feel terrible?
29 weeks. Acorn squash
2) How are you feeling?
@nancysimp I'm with you on the tired. I wake up so early too, and a lot during the night to shift positions. Not comfortable!!
3) Any appointments this week?
Next week.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm irritable now. And no filter, so I catch myself being much more direct than I normally would. Oh well!
5) Dec 20 GTKY: what is your favorite part of the day?
The second I get home, put on comfy clothes, take my bra off, and sit down with my feet up. OR sat morning when I am up early of course, but have hot chocolate and watch my DVRed Hallmark Christmas movies.

31 weeks- Asparagus, still don't understand the veggie comparisons....

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
30 weeks, and um, not big enough.
2) How are you feeling?
Battling the flu. Starting to get better, but not as fast as I'd like.
3) Any appointments this week?
The little dudes are measuring pretty small. Not a shock because twins, but it still sucks. Waiting to hear about next steps from OB.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Don't catch the flu right now guys. I'm being floored by this thing. Stay home whenever you can!
5) Jan 3 GTKY: Happy New Year! How did you celebrate this year's eve...how different was it from last year?
I tried to go to bed at 10 and couldn't sleep because of flu symptoms. Worst NYE ever. Not that I normally do much for it anyway because MH and I are both introverts and left our party years behind long ago. Hope you guys had a better night than me!
