Thursday Ticker Change - 3/29

Sorry I don’t remember who usually posts this, but since I didn’t see it yet today I thought I’d start this week’s!
Ticker change simply means that you have started a new week of pregnancy. For example, I go from 10 weeks to 11 weeks on Thursday 3/29, so my “ticker” changes on Thursdays. It is our way of marking a milestone.

Re: Thursday Ticker Change - 3/29
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks, baby is the size of a strawberry!
2. How are you feeling? Mostly ok, I had terrible MS Monday and threw up for the first time when DH was making dinner so that was fun. I’ve avtually felt pretty good since then, just tired and I would really like to have a nice poo sometime soon...
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, not until April 11
4. Rants/raves/questions? Rant: I’m so frustrated with my face constantly breaking out! Any recommendations on pregnancy safe products? I have been using cetaphil facewash and it’s not quite cutting it. Also, any foundations you recommend? The one I was using (Smashbox) has an ingredient you are supposed to avoid so I haven’t even been able to cover it up!
5. GTKY: My advice would be to have fun and don’t take yourself too seriously. And forget about boys, you will be fine and will find the best match for you.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks! Size of a lime!
2. How are you feeling? Feeling good this week. Tired as always, but counting down the days to my vacation!
3. Any appointments this week? Had my nurse intake appt with the OBs office yesterday, and have my first OB visit tomorrow morning!
4. Rants/raves/questions? These allergies are going to drive me up a freaking wall! I cannot stop sneezing and blowing my nose, and it’s really getting old.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? I don’t know, maybe to loosen up a bit and take myself less seriously. Also to cherish the time with my dad a bit more because I wouldn’t have him around for that much longer.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks! A strawberry
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good! No energy but morning sickness is fading
3. Any appointments this week? Nope not until the 9th!
4. Rants/raves/questions? DS and I are both fighting a head cold. It is definitely taking its toll on both of us! Wish I could take something stronger!
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Oh wow! I would tell myself that my metabolism will slow down and I can’t eat all the junk I did! Also to work harder and save more money.. don’t need all the materialistic things you want to buy!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
12 weeks; size of a plum!
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty normal at this point. I keep obsessively checking my stomach in the mirror to see if it's changed in the last 20 minutes since I peed last.
3. Any appointments this week?
Had my 12-week appointment this morning! I thought we were only going to get to hear it, but she gave us the option to do ultrasound again so we did. Got to see the little thing squirming around and waving and kicking. So amazing. We took a video so I've already watched it 1000x since then.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
None, except my stomach freaking hurts, I think from the anticipation/excitement/crappy decaf coffee I had this morning.
Plus, I'm excited to be able to start telling more people now after this appointment. Except I feel so awkward about it, how do you just bring something like that up??
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Definitely loosen up and not care what people think as much. I was so shy. And not care so much about my stupid boyfriend at the time.
@hannaht8516 I feel like it’s awkward telling people too...I’ve just been going with, “well I wanted to share my news with you” and then telling them I’m pregnant lol. I’m hoping for coworkers it will just start spreading because I feel like those are the most awkward people to tell.
11 weeks, baby is the size of a lime. Was excited to learn that at this stage baby can hear sounds, familiar voices like mom and dads?
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good, a bit fatigued and some passing phases of nausea.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yes! Tomorrow we go in for the 11/12 week scan. Really looking forward to seeing the little baby, looking more human like. Our last scan was a 5w4d, looked like a cute little bean with a strong heartbeat.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I’ll forgo ranting about my crazy boss, keep the stress out!
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Concentrate on you, your hobbies and skills. Practice and play that clarinet well, but for God’s sake choose a more practical major, lol! Forget about stupid boys, they will only distract you from what’s important!
In the end, it’ll all work itself out
For some reason I can't just come out and say "I'm pregnant". I have to say something weird, like "I'm going to need some extended time off in October" so that people are too confused for a second and it makes it more awkward. I'm just an awkward person all around.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
12 weeks, plum sized
2. How are you feeling?
Moody. Tired. But better than my first pregnancy!!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nah not until like may?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Nah
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Don't fight meds. They'll be your best friends.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 13 weeks. Yay!
2. How are you feeling? Terrible. Gassy, nauseous, bloated and can't sleep through the night.
3. Any appointments this week? Saw my midwife today.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Why do I have terrible constipation? First time experiencing this. I'd really like for it to go away.
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be? Enjoy life and ignore the idiot across the street lol.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 12 weeks and baby is the size of a plum
2. How are you feeling?
Apart from not being able to sleep throughout the night, I’m feeling better than my first pregnancy. Less nauseous but still peeing a lot and phases of being really bloated.
3. Any appointments this week?
Next appointment is 04/04 (dating scan)
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I really need to start re-training my toddler to sleep in her own room again. I’m so over being forced into a minimal amount of bed space resulting in hanging on for dear life!
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
Be more responsible with finances, save as much as can. You don’t need all those materialistic items and cherish family a lot more, when your older you’ll appreciate them being closer and around more than you think.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks baby is the size of a lime
2. How are you feeling? Overall pretty good.
3. Any appointments this week? I saw the MFM on Wednesday. Turns out I have type 2 diabetes so I'll have a lot of appointments coming up.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Anyone else type 2 diabetic? Just looking for advice since this is all new to me...
5. GTKY: If you could give one piece of advice to your 18 year old self, what would it be?
My advice would be to be more financially responsible and to finish college.
