Re: Monday Ticker Change 6/4
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
23 - Grapefruit or a chinchilla.
2. How are you feeling?
Like I gotta pee 100% of the time.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Have y'all started counting down as opposed to up? 17 weeks left sounds far more appealing than 23 weeks down.
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
Because all important things to me are food-related, Butterfinger BB's.
. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 20 weeks; size of a banana.
2. How are you feelingx? Mostly great, but i do get pressure/round ligament pain in my lower abd
3. Any appointments this week? Anatomy scan! We are so excited to see her! Its been a month!
4. Rants/raves/questions? For the most part I love feeling my baby move, except when I'm almost fallen asleep, then it scares me awake. Lol
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? I cant think of any really.
That said, I’ve had a countdown going on my computer since about week 7; I just mostly ignore it. I figure my attitude will change in 3-4 weeks when I am hot and miserable.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
20 - a banana or root beer float
2. How are you feeling?
Fat!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Well now I'm going to start counting down - starting next week! So much better!
Rant about my bosses - practiced for my big presentation to leadership this weekend that was supposed to be this morning, and now I'm not going to be doing it. This has definitely been a great work rotation for studying managerial styles and learning what 'I will not be doing' (and some 'what I will's)
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
Hmmm...Dunkaroos, that fruit roll up type stuff that was a long string, kids running out to the street for the ice cream man, and the TGIF/Saturday morning lineup. I miss Saved by the Bell (still watch reruns), California Dreams, Hang Time, and all of that stuff. Basically I just want to be a kid again? I think all adults could use that right about now...
I'm also constantly making mental notes about how not to treat your employees.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 21 Weeks - Baseball Hat
2. How are you feeling? Still nauseous. Taking all the Tums for the acid reflux.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? DH is somewhat disappointed that baby is a boy, but I'm super excited about it. I was hoping to have a name picked out by now, but DH is being stubborn. I have one name that I love and I think is perfect. He hasn't vetoed it, but he says he isn't sold on it. I told him unless he comes up with something better in the next 19 weeks, I'm naming our child that name. I'm super picky on boy names. I like classic names that work as a cute baby name as well as a legit adult name. I also like to stay out of the top 50ish names if possible. I did tell DH he can choose the middle name and that seemed to make him happy.
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? Those velour track suits. I would totally jump right back into that trend.
edit: now boss's boss just said 'when <my name> speaks...' WTF people!?!?!
Sorry for all of the posts on this
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 22 weeks, mango
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? Not right now
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? No idea, as long as the super baggy pants on guys stays away
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
21 weeks, endive.
2. How are you feeling?
+1 to having to pee all the time. Also sciatica sucks. And heartburn. My OB recommended a belly band since I'm having bad sciatic pain during the day now, but cautioned it will make my heartburn worse. Not sure if my heartburn is related to my stomach bug from memorial day weekend, or if it's just that time in my pregnancy to show up. Regardless, he also told me I should start grazing on meals instead of eating 3 meals a day, because I clearly can't handle it lol. He normally says that around 28 weeks, so lucky me, I'm starting early.
3. Any appointments this week?
nothing unless I pull myself together and schedule a massage
4. Rants/raves/questions?
how the hell am I over halfway done already? I'm woefully unprepared right now. I've literally done nothing except buy a new car. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back?
possibly UO here, so sorry if I offend...I hope the trend of over the top pinstagramable weddings/lifestyle/parties/showers goes away soon. It's incredibly stressful to plan events when you feel like you are trying to live up to this featured wedding on Pinterest. It took me some time after my wedding to get over that and not think about "oh I should have done that instead of this". I think overall I'm glad that we dedicated a lot of money to the behind the scenes stuff (good food/wine, transportation for guests, and other hospitality type stuff) than on decor that would make my wedding look better on Instagram. Can't we all just get back to enjoying our life, living in the moment, and not worrying about outdoing the Joneses?
Also, people, put your phone away during concerts. No one wants to view your Snapchat story of the extremely loud concert you are at. You can hear nothing except loud noises. That trend can die too!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 22 weeks. Baby is the size of half a dozen bagels...which seems HUGE to me, like, isnt that the size of a full grown baby? Are those just New York bagels or something?
2. How are you feeling? I feel great
3. Any appointments this week? Nope!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I am going to London on Thursday for babymoon #4 and I am so excited
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? I am with @sliztee ...anything food related.
2. I feel great, but huge. I hit a number on the scale that I have literally never seen before and it scares the crap out of me to think I’ll only keep gaining!
3. Nope
4. I know it’s taboo to talk about weight but I can’t help but compare myself to those “how much should you gain” calculators and freaking out about it haha. Ugh. I’m trying to tell myself the doctor will tell me if I’m on track or if there’s anything to be concerned about so I shouldn’t bother stepping on the scale. I guess I’ve been so focused on health and fitness for so long (and a healthy weight that naturally comes along with that) that it’s hard to remember it’s healthy and a good thing.
5. Team food... especially dunk a Roos! Those things are delish!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
19, today's daily said baby is a big as a dollar bill
2. How are you feeling?
Still sick. HG still kicking my ass. But I get random spurts of energy, so that's nice.
3. Any appointments this week?
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is our AS!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I'm so over the HG. They kept trying to be hopeful and tell me "sometimes" it goes away by 20 weeks. Mine is definitely not. And being able to eat a normal portion would be nice. I couldn't even eat half a sandwich today. (Nothing else to eat. 2 pieces of normal bread, 1 piece of cheese, 2 thin pieces of warmed lunch meat.). I finally feel hungry sometimes, and can't eat. It's cruel. But, I'm finally starting to feel the baby move, (at least when I lay down) which is great. Can't wait til it's more consistent movement.
Also can't wait to find out if we are xy again or xx, so we can finally pick a name!
5. GTKY: What fad or trend do you hope comes back? There is lots of good food and drink ones I'd love. Totally on board with @acciocoffee and the velour track suits. Those were comfy. I could probably think of a few more. Lol
I'm focusing on eating better and being active (walking more) and hoping it'll help me maintain a bit better.
One of my coworkers came back today from her maternity leave and she looks amazing. I'm hoping to at least get back to within 10lb of pre-baby weight before I go back.
Everyone coming back from maternity leave here also looks awesome...I find it fascinating. Or maybe it's just that they're not pregnant anymore and I only knew them that way for so many months
I know there's a few people here good at keeping up with fit mom Friday, but maybe post baby we can start a thread. Back on TK, we had a daily/weekly accountability one that had check-ins and was very positive and encouraging - I know we'll be busy, but maybe something like that could be fun as a way to stay accountable toward post-baby goals!
There are two other pregnant women with whom I work closely and we are all due within 3 weeks of each other! One of them was sharing how she has only gained 8 pounds so far and silly me felt all insecure about it haha. I know it is stupid, but I couldn’t help comparing myself. It was also ironic that we talked about how she was impressed I was still working out 4-5 days a week and eating (relatively) healthy when she hasn’t so I think that added a little insult to injury.
I *know* gaining weight and maintaining healthy eating is important for baby and me, but reminding myself of that as the number creeps up is more of a struggle than I imagined. I’m obviously not running half marathons or taking any intense classes these days, but basic strength training and cardio should still help me meet my healthy and fit lifestyle goals (and hopefully help L&D).
Anyway, thanks for sharing and keeping my mind in check.
Also, I love the idea of daily accountability thread!
