Re: 12/30 Saturday Ticker Change
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Not too many complaints. I just know I’m huge and I’m feeling that.
Any appointments this week? Growth scan on 1/2 and consultation with our pediatrician.
Rants/raves? Not many that I can think of.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution? I don’t consider it a resolution so much but I plan to keep much better track of where our money goes. We have a tendency to spend without thinking and knowing that my husband will be needing a good amount of time off from work in 2018 with LO’s surgery, I want to do a better job of tracking and planning.

How are you feeling? Pretty good,
Any appointments this week? Wednesday Anatomy Scan finally!
Rants/raves? Super happy to be home after the holidays, and already told the family we won't be traveling until next holiday season.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution? Probably not.
26 weeks, butternut squash (though he's actually smaller since he's measuring a little behind)
How are you feeling?
Nausea has worsened this week
Any appointments this week?
Nope. Waiting for a call from the MFM doctor so we can make an appointment!
Rants/raves?
Nursery is almost completed! I've been working on a packing list for hospital and freezer meal list while I'm off work.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
Not officially, but obviously there are things I am always trying to improve/change.
24 week size of Atlantic puffin
How are you feeling?
I have had some pretty bad cramps this week. along with itchy boobs
Any appointments this week?
Jan 4th so excited to see my little one
Rants/raves?
not really that I can think of
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
haha not really my goal is to have a baby. I think i can accomplish this.
26 weeks, a kale (measuring 3 weeks ahead of that according to OB)
How are you feeling?
Uncofortable and big. Sleeping like crap and heartburn has been bad. No more nausea though. Thats a plus.
Any appointments this week?
Not till the following
Rants/raves?
Im so sick of everyone telling me how big I am. It's like I know I'm huge and it's hard to believe that I'm due in April and that I can get even bigger. Enough already!!!
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution? Honestly, to be more timely. Ive been horrible since I've been pregnant. Just zero energy and doing things at the last minute.
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
24w1d, baby is the size of an atlantic puffin
How are you feeling?
Huge and tired, and sitting for long periods of time is starting to cause a lot of hip and leg pain. I work 4 days a week for 10 hours each day at a desk job, so that's becoming difficult to get through.
Any appointments this week?
I have an appointment on Wednesday.
Rants/raves?
I feel so much bigger with this pregnancy, and my ankles have been swollen by the end of the day the past week. :-/ I feel like I didn't have that issue till I was in the 30w+ area last time around.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
I plan on finishing up my degree next year, so I guess I can count that as a resolution!
25 weeks, a napa cabbage or a rutabaga
How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Chiropractor is keeping my hip issues in check. I'm starting to have some Braxton Hicks which freaks me out a bit even though I know it's normal.
Any appointments this week?
Monthly on Wednesday.
Rants/raves?
As much as I love the holidays I'm ready for them to be over. I am not, however, ready to go back to working. I'm ready for April to be here.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
Mine is simple: Have a baby. Survive the newborn stage. Start running again.
26 weeks- kale (probably the most vague description yet. Like how big is the bunch?)
How are you feeling?
I’m feeling better after finally getting over last weeks horrendous stomach flu. Finally eating real food again which is good bc I’m starving! I lost 5 lbs while sick so I think that warrants daily milkshakes....
Any appointments this week?
yup Wednesday is a monthly and a glucose intolerance test.
Rants/raves?
my rant is I’ve been stuck at the airport trying to fly home since 6pm; my flight keeps being delayed and all we want to do is go home and sleep in our own bed. And I have to work tomorrow! Luckily from home. I’ll be hitting the snooze button.
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
last year DH and I set intentions for the year. Somewhat similar to resolutions but they sound less corny and are more concrete. We set personal intentions as well as couple ones. Obviously the first couple item for 2018 is to become supportive parents!
@Mattelnot sure if you have looked into anything but we do a detailed budget using excel or google sheets. We set it up so we have categories of spending and basically everything gets entered in and categorized, both with regard to money made and money spent. It is a bit crazy so might be more than what most ppl need (we have a lot of bills and saving goals so it helps us) BUT we know where everyone dollar goes and can identify areas of overspending easily on a weekly/monthly basis. Maybe something like that might be helpful?
26w+2d a bunch of kale
How are you feeling?
good overall. Still have some tailbone pain that comes and goes.
Any appointments this week?
ill go do my glucose Friday and then my 28 week is next week! Can’t believe I’m already at appts every 2 weeks.
Rants/raves?
Same as @fancybelmont boo to back to work today! Definitely being mostly off for 2 weeks was a teaser for April. But also a reality check because it flew by!
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution?
i usually make a list at the beginning on the year of things I want to do that year. I go back only at the end to see how I did. Usually it’s things like “pay of credit debt” “read more” “get a beach bod” etc. sometimes they are more specific. Etc. it’s fun to see what my intentions were and how I did not looking at the list.
How are you feeling? Okay. I've been having a rough week. Had some bleeding which completely freaked me out because I never had any with DS. The doctor told me to take it easy but to come in if it starts again. Also I've had this sore throat/stuffed up thing going on for almost a month now and wish it would go away!
Any appointments this week? Tomorrow for the monthly and glucose test!
Rants/raves? Not really - was just enjoying my 3-day weekend and sad to go back to work today!
GTKY: will you make a New Years resolution? @codingchildhood I'm also finishing my degree this year! In May hopefully haha. What degree are you working on?
I plan to make some goals in my pretty planner that I got for Christmas but I haven't really thought about anything long term besides have baby and graduate.
