Re: Sunday Ticker Change - 9/9/18

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    32 weeks, the size of a large pizza

    2. How are you feeling?
    Tired, all the time... And even though I'm tired, I have a hard time sleeping. 

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Tuesday 9/11. I feel like it's been forever since my last appointment so hopefully everything is still going good.

    4. Rants/raves/questions?
    Not now

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    Still working on the nursery. We finally got the parts for the closet shelves & rack so that is now up at least.

    6. GTKY: What was your first car? Did you love or hate it?
    An old Honda Civic . I loved it. Great visibility, great gas mileage. Now I have an updated/newer version. I still love Honda Civics.


  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    30 weeks, baby is the size of half of a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake!  (Mmmmm I really want a slice of key lime cheesecake!)

    2. How are you feeling?
    Still feeling pretty good!

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Have my 30 week appointment on Wednesday!

    4. Rants/raves/questions?
    As you may or may not have seen in the gender announcement thread, we were shocked to find out this week that we were told the wrong gender at our anatomy scan, we are having a boy, not a girl!

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    Getting some boy clothes as we had very little gender neutral clothing!

    6. GTKY: What was your first car? Did you love or hate it?
    My first car was a 1999 Nissan Sentra.  It was terrible, the headlights were super dim (even after changing bulbs) and it was a huge pain in the butt driving it around at night!

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    I need to finish washing baby clothes and wash the carseat cover and RNP cover

    6. GTKY: What was your first car? Did you love or hate it? It was 1978 Chevy Nova, aka The Tank. That car was HUGE. I didn't love it at first. Sometimes it would stall at red lights, which was a bit scary, but that car was awesome. We lived on a dirt road growing up and when it would rain, I used to fishtail it around curves, so much fun. 
  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    31 weeks, asparagus 

    2. How are you feeling?
    Ok. Back/sciatic pain, tired, not sleeping well, etc

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Nope

    4. Rants/raves/questions?
    I know I only have 8ish weeks left, but it's getting so much harder to stay team green. My friend just had the cutest baby girl, and I see all these adorable baby boy outfits and I just want to buy everything! I don't want all clothes/blankets gender neutral since our nursery is gray and white. I also want to decorate DS's (and this baby's) bathroom, but it's hard when I don't know if this is a boy or girl. First world problems for sure. 

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    I think we finally got the nursery furniture arranged how it will be and it looks decent (the nursery is a tiny 10x10 room). The chair we bought is a darker color than we thought, so I'm hoping they'll let us exchange it for a different color if possible without paying the 20% restocking fee.

    6. GTKY: What was your first car? Did you love or hate it? 
    The first car I drove in HS was an '86 ford bronco. I just thought it was cool to be driving anything, because a lot of my friends weren't yet. The first car I actually bought with my own money senior year of HS was a '97 ford taurus. It was nothing fancy, but it was a safe reliable car.
