Re: Sunday Ticker Change 4/29

2. How are you feeling? Still lots of morning sickness, slightly less tired I think though?
3. Any appointments this week? Nope - not until end of May.
4. Rants/raves/questions? My belly has exploded the past few weeks so we finally started yelling pretty much everyone. Not certain I’ll find the energy to do something cute for social media this time though!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity? Staying in the shade! I am not a heat/sun fan so I can only imagine how awful this summer will be while adding in being pregnant. I do love being able to take the kids to the beach though!
1. 15 weeks 4 days- navel orange
2. Feeling good! This is the first week that I feel fine all day, and can stay up past 8pm
5. I'm a teacher, so my favorite summer activity is not having other peoples' teenagers stress me out all day
Other than that, picnics/bbqs with friends! I also really enjoy swimming in the ocean, but hate the sandiness of the beach haha
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
16, size of an avocado
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Still dealing with food aversions, nothing sounds appealing, so eating is a chore.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope!

Why can’t my kids stop putting things in their mouths?! Lego, stuffed animals, their fingers, their clothes... and they aren’t toddlers, they’re 7 and 4.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity?
I like rollerblading, and outdoor pools. Plus we have a swing on our front porch, so hanging out there with DH in the evenings.

4. Rants/raves/questions? best sunblock for pregnancy? Safest yet works! I don't want the pregnancy mask.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity? I love being in the water and we have a pool so looking forward to floating. I also love sitting outside and listening to/watching thunderstorms.
I’m actually 17w3d today, with a Wednesday ticker change. So if Laurasauruss is 15w4d, I think her ticker change is Tuesday.
Great name by the way. We now have two dinosaurs on the board again, and I’m hoping baby is one too!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
14 weeks, finally!! So excited to be in Tri 2.

Pretty great this week actually. Hoping this energy rebound is here to stay. My only complaint is increased dizziness when I stand and a lot of uncomfortable twinges surrounding my lower stomach.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, not until mid May at 16 weeks.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
A small rant: I hate when other people get close enough to be touching me lately. Like...don't touch me!! At all. Ever. lol Hopefully that fades soon. I'm starting to feel bad about it.
Rave: Having the energy to workout more than once a week has me feeling so much better.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity?
Being in the sunshine, outside and around water is most preferable. But I'll take warm weather and late sunsets anywhere at all!

Nope

So happy to be hungry again and have the energy to cook healthy-ish meals!

2. How are you feeling?
Kinda nauseous still, but it's def not as bad as the whole 1st tri.
3. Any appointments this week?
Have one on Tues!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I feel as though my husband doesn't wanna spend time with me and is avoiding me. I'm just wanting as much time with him as possible before the baby is born cause we'll never have that again. Not sure if this is an emotional pregnant thing or for real but it's really irritating me. I sometimes feel like he's sick of me talking about the baby, but our lives are changing forever here. I feel like that's a big deal!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity?
I love going out on the lake, bonfires, and making S'mores.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 17- Baby is as big as a pomegranate! 5in, 5.2 oz
2. How are you feeling? Feeling good. Tired with some back aches, but the nausea is mostly gone.
3. Any appointments this week? No
4. Rants/raves/questions? I have had an aversion to Mexican food for weeks. When DH offered to make dinner I was all too happy to relax and let him....why did he make taco bowls? He knows better.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity? I love laying by the pool or on the beach. Hoping for one weekend this summer away just me and DH kid-free!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
14 weeks. Size of a peach. Unlike what a few other people have said I feel like the weeks are going by so slow.
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling good, besides the odd headache. Doesn’t feel like im even pregnant, besides my clothes not fitting as good
3. Any appointments this week?
Not until the end of May now.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I hate that my husband keeps comparing me to the girl (pregnant with twins) that he sees on tv who is still mining and working like crazy.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity?
We spend a lot of time on the lake fishing. I can’t wait for the ice to leave so that we can get out there again.
2. How are you feeling?
Like crap. Nausea has come back a bit but worse than that is I have a sinus infection and sore throat and I just want to take ALL THE DRUGS but I can’t and that makes me sad. I’ve just been sleeping nonstop for 4 days.
3. Any appointments this week?
Thursday I have a US to check cervical length.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
So many things, but I’ll just wait until next week when I hopefully have more energy to post.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity?
We have a pool in the backyard so we are in that a ton! When we move back to CA we’ll probably be camping a lot.
Also, you’ll have alone time again. It will be different and less often, but you’ll have alone time. You need to make time for each other after that kiddo gets here.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I'm 16.5 weeks today, baby is the size of an avocado
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good, feels like I have a lot of water weight around my belly this week so it's been slower to get up, started wearing maternity clothes since my the bump is more obvious now.
3. Any appointments this week? Not baby related, dentist for a cleaning (boo). Dentist did tell me i have swelling in my gums leading to them bleeding easily when i'm flossing, common in pregnancy.
4. Rants/raves/questions? So i don't know if it's me going crazy but i think i feel the baby moving. It's my first pregnancy and i've read that you don't really feel anything till later on but i'm feeling movement below the belly button, it's a strange feeling like it's movement of an organ turning or something. Anyone else feel something similar?
5. GTKY: What's your favorite summer or warm weather activity? Just being outdoors! hopefully warm weather is here for good
@SweetSweetTooth I did a TON of sunscreen research before my last trip and ended up with baby sunscreen. It worked really, really well, though it's hard to blend. Not a scientist, but this is what I learned through my readings:
Sunscreens are based on one of three key ingredients that all work with the body differently. Two of these, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sit on top of the skin. Oxybenzone is absorbed by the skin. There's no hard science saying oxybenzone is bad, but hypotheses out there about linkage to low birth weight.
My personal takeaway was to avoid any unnecessary gamble and go with zinc oxide based sunscreens. Found out in searching a few shelves that this is basically all baby sunscreens.
Oxybenzone can also be found in lots of products, like makeup and lip glosses, that contain SPF.
