Saturday Ticker Change- 5/26

cagncoo12

Ticker change simply means that you have started a new week of pregnancy.  For example, I go from 17 weeks to 18 weeks on Saturday 5/26, so my “ticker” changes on Saturdays. It is our way of marking a milestone. 

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 piece of advice would you give to your future mother self?

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18 weeks, an artichoke or bell pepper 

2. How are you feeling? So many aches and pains. I have more energy during the day but by around 8 I’m exhausted. The weight is starting to add in a bit as well. I gained 3 lbs up until my 16 week check, then gained two pounds this week alone! Trying not to obsess to much about it. 

3. Any appointments this week?A/S on Tuesday with MFM, ours is early since we will do a fetal echo in 6 weeks and serial scans from there on due to being high risk.

4. Rants/raves/questions? I love my pregnancy pillow. 

5. GTKY: What piece of advice would you give to your future mother self? Make sure to take time for yourself.

@cagncoo12 my doctor told me gaining 1-1.5 pounds per week in the second trimester is expected and normal. I wouldn’t worry about it!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 20 weeks, halfway there! Size of a banana 

2. How are you feeling? I feel good. 

3. Any appointments this week? Anatomy scan on Thursday!!! So excited to see our little girl 

4. Rants/raves/questions? I was hoping to feel her kick by now but I know everyone is different. I started feeling some cramps/uncomfortable twangs this week so hopefully that’s her stretching out in there and the kicks will become more pronounced as we go on 

5. GTKY: What piece of advice would you give to your future mother self? Pick your battles.

19 weeks - size of a Gameboy

2. How are you feeling?

My hips are so sore. Rolling over at night is a whole process.

3. Any appointments this week?

AS on Friday, I’m so excited. I hope Egg cooperates.

4. Rants/raves/questions?

I’ve been off the last two days and I’ve been really trying to get crap done around the house, I’m surprised I haven’t been more tired. I trimmed the trees in the yard, swept off the porch, changed some lightbulbs that have been out far too long, cleaned the kitchen counters, washed the walls, and put away some laundry. I need this kind of motivation all the time.

5. GTKY: What piece of advice would you give to your future mother self?

Relax, don’t be so uptight, and keeping soaking up every minute of their littleness, time flies by.
