Wednesday Ticker Change (4/11)

Ticker change simply means that you have started a new week of pregnancy. For example, I go from 14 weeks to 15 weeks on Wednesday 4/11, so my “ticker” changes on Wednesdays. It is our way of marking a milestone.
Questions stolen from Sunday.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments this week?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Re: Wednesday Ticker Change (4/11)
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
15 Weeks - the size of a cinnamon roll. (Now I have to go get a cinnamon roll...)
2. How are you feeling?
Mostly this week, it has been stress- feeling overwhelmed by all the things I want and need to get done.
Also, I don’t mind waking up at 4am to pee, but it would be swell if I could go right back to sleep.
3. Any appointments this week?
Daycare tour on Friday. My next doctor’s appointment is next Wednesday.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I thought I had beem doing ok on water consumption until I actually started tracking it. Some days are better than others, but the days that are worse are really bad (hello weekends!). So I bought myself a clear travel cup, which I don’t like (too tall, low flow from the opening). Yesterday my best friend’s wife gave me a new cup which is awesome! It is purple with butterflies, and it’s opening is designed to accommodate a straw!
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
A good book, petting my friends’ hair, folding laundry. (Yes, I’m weird; no I don’t want to come over to fold your laundry.)
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks, fig
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling good. Still not sick so I think I'm in the clear.
3. Any appointments this week?
Ultrasound and meet with genetic counselor on Friday!!!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Maternity pants for tall women!! I am so uncomfortable in my jeans but I wear jeans daily to work so I need to make the switch to maternity. They are so uncomfortable in the crotch area, they just don't sit right!!
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
A nice glass of wine would be nice but that's not happening. I feel the most relaxed when we get some beach/lake time but its been cooler than normal the past few weeks in Texas. Not cool!!@tropical1982 hope you get your beach time soon!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
15, navel orange
2. How are you feeling?
Still borderline in the morning, especially if I don’t eat quick enough after waking up. Otherwise, enjoying vacation!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Are sunburns worse during pregnancy? I know I should’ve put on sunscreen yesterday, but this seems excessively red...
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Exercise or a good book!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
14 weeks. Size of a beet
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good . Just tired all the time .
3. Any appointments this week?
Checkup on a Monday
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Hmmm not really
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Spa day. Massage, facial, you name it ha
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
13 weeks, lemon
2. How are you feeling?
Mostly just tired and lots of heartburn
3. Any appointments this week?
nope not for 4 more weeks ... seems pretty long
4. Rants/raves/questions?
We got out genetic results back and all is well!!!!
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Sleep and laying on a beach, even better when I get to do both together
@sammierose464 @knottieamusements I also find straws to be necessary to get liquids down. Also, they have to be ice cold or or piping hot. And since we have neither ice nor consistently hot water at work (1st world problems, I know) it's a struggle some days. I bring my yeti tumbler packed with ice to last me all day.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
15 weeks naval orange
2. How are you feeling?
On and off actually. Lots of stretchy maybe crampy feelings in the uterus. Got a little panicky after the recent loss posted on our board. I’ve never been this anxious before so it’s really interesting that pregnancy has brought this out in me. Hoping I am not an overly anxious parent.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope. Next week going to midwives collective though!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
We’ve discussed something like this one million times on this board but new rant: my husband is being really annoying about the kitty litter. He did the research, realized the risk is remote and I can wear gloves, and seems to resent that I still want him to clean it. I know he’s not wrong, especially since our cats are indoor cats, but it pisses me off that he won’t just do it for the duration of pregnancy. It’s like the one good thing I get (that and a seat on the subway) and it just pisses me off that he’s pushing back. Again, I know he’s not wrong, I just want him to do it anyway!
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Hiking in the woods, swimming in the ocean/lake/natural water, ooh tubing down a river with beers and friends!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 13 weeks. i'll say one of those mini cans of soda.
2. How are you feeling? i thought i beat the nausea, but that in fact was a lie. Blood pressure has plummeted and i have woozy/fainty spells. I was also accused last pregnancy of being ferocious at work during the second trimester, and i think i am there again. Don't get in my way people.
3. Any appointments this week? Sigh, not til next week
4. Rants/raves/questions? I have packed on so much weigh this pregnancy i want to die. Everyone is side-eyeing me because i haven't told anyone at work, but also i am generally petite, so the weight is super obvious. As are the bulging stretch panels on my pants.
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax? This might sound a little creepy, but i will just like, sit and zone out. I wouldn't quite call it meditation, at least not in any formal way, but its definitely pretty close!
@rc-cola tell him top man up and change the damn littler box unless he wants to grow the tiny, nutrient sucking fetus. (omg - see?? ferocious!)
+1 for not drinking enough water. it has to be ice cold, and preferably bubbly and mixed with a little juice for me to stomach it. I think i just figured out all the weight gain....
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
13 wks and bump says size of a lemon!
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty decent the last few days. A lot of stretching going on!
3. Any appointments this week?
Not this wk
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Ok baby. Not cool to make me pee when I cough. I’m considering diapers
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
A good drink, mj, and binge watching my current favorite show on Netflix/Hulu. Alone.
Hi ladies! I went into my NT scan today thinking I was 12+2 and turns out I’m really 13 weeks! So I’m joining you from Monday!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
13, a lemon!
2. How are you feeling?
My symptoms are starting to go away. I get bursts of energy. The nausea has let up the past couple of days. I hope all this continues!
3. Any appointments this week?
Just had my NT. That was the coolest thing! The tech was great, she showed me the hands, feet, stomach, brain, and bladder, all the cute little wiggly baby parts! And my screening tests came out way lower than average risk for chromosomal abnormalities so I am relieved!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
No questions right now! We waited to tell most of our friends and family (our parents already know) until the scan was done so it’s been the most fun day of texting people! I’ll make a cute Facebook/Instagram post later tonight!
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Glass of wine, trashy tv, reading books, walks with dog, beach days especially!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

Actually pretty good, currently exhausted as I got like no sleep last night... other than that a headache that comes and goes but getting more manageable
3. Any appointments this week?

4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: minor buy I've noticed over the past couple days my lips have been getting chapped really badly!! I'm using chapstick, I'm drinking a lot of water daily I'm staying hydrated!! Wtf lips! Stop drying out please!? It hurts..
5. GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
I love to drive, crank up my music and cruise some back roads and check out the scenery!! Especially when I'm someplace new and get so see the differences between home and where I am. It's so distracting and just make a me feel better. If I'm stuck home I like to listen to hard rock radio on Pandora and I power clean my bedroom lol

2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good for the most part. Still exhausted though. Today the dizzy spells started. Almost passed out in my bathroom trying on clothes.
