Re: **Monday Ticker Change**
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm feeling okay, I was throwing up yesterday but it seemed really random. My belly feels "fuller' but no obvious baby bump yet, just fat. I thought I felt some flutters last week, but I can't be sure. No definite movement yet
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? A/S scheduled for January second. I found out the other day that I passed my (first) one hour glucose. Apparently, my office does them twice throughout the pregnancy, so I will have to repeat it at week 28. The results for my quad screening were "normal," but my Dr.'s office didn't give me any further information.
Rants? Raves? Rant: It was 7 degrees this morning when I drove to work. Rave: I have 95% of my Christmas presents wrapped! Woot!
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) I love them all! DH and I took the Beagle for a walk in the (7 new) inches of snow yesterday, and he was so happy to play around. DH and I were talking about how we used to love to sled as kids, and we got excited that next year we will have a LO to drag around in a baby sled!Week? Fruit/Veggie? Week 17 - the size of an onion!
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm starting to get weird cravings, which I haven't had that bad until now. I wanted green olives so bad last night (and I HATE olives). Otherwise, just headaches and heartburn. I keep thinking I feel baby, but not 100% sure. It could still all be in my head...
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Nothing really...A/S is 12/30
Rants? Raves? I had a family party with my in-laws on Friday. I don't mind being in large groups of people who are drinking...but they got worse throughout the night with the baby talk and the touching. I am completely happy talking about the baby, but not when I'm repeating the same information to you over and over. And (oddly enough) I don't mind being touched but when it's by people I don't know, it's weird. Oh and don't complain to me about how you were so much bigger then my at this point in time...and then later tell me you had twins. Duh...And that's my rant, DH doesn't seem the understand my annoyance haha.
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) My favorite is snowboarding, which I will be avoiding this year. Although I LOVE it...I'm terrible and fall all the time.
Week? Fruit/Veggie? Good morning! 19 weeks / A mango (or potato according to my Lilypie ticker)
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm feeling really good and definitely feeling movement every day.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow and praying the weather holds up. I was supposed to have part 2 of my A/S last Tuesday but it was cancelled due to the weather and we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow. I had a scan at 16 weeks where they saw most of what the A/S shows and all looked good. I'm very anxious to see how my placenta is doing (was marginal previa last time) and to make sure cervical length is good, and to finish seeing that baby is healthy! Lastly, I'm going to have her show me the goods and ditch being team green.
Rants? Raves? Ranting about the weather. So far this month we're going on our 4th storm and we never have this much snow and freezing cold weather so early on, before Christmas. I can't stand it. I hate walking outside and am afraid of slipping on ice. I can't move in my big coat and I just hate it. WAH!
I'm super cranky today so I don't have any raves. I'm really nervous as this week I reach my loss milestone. I'm so on edge, crying at nothing, and snapping at everyone.
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) Does staying indoors count? I do like to build snowmen with DS and I used to love sledding but haven't gone in years. As I get older, I'm hating the snow and cold weather more and more.
Wow I'm a super negative nancy today. Sorry ladies. Bear with me.

How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Headaches, backaches, and baby flutters! The baby flutters and random movement make up for all physical misery

Rants? Raves? Nope. Pretty even keel here.

***** All AL Welcome *****
Week? Fruit/Veggie? 20 weeks/Banana! Half way there! I'd say already, but seemed like it took a while to get here.
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling great! Belly is slowly starting to make its way out there. Baby has definitely been a lot more active this past week.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Just had our A/S on Friday and it's a girl! I was so shocked, but also very blessed. My 20 wk OB appt is this Wednesday as well.
Rants? Raves? Rants: I still haven't gotten any Christmas gifts yet!! Raves: For those of you who are familiar with cronuts, we are picking up our order of 52 tomorrow!! Cannot wait! Also finally get to fly home to Chicago on Thursday to see my family!
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) Snowboarding, although this season will be the first one in a long time I'll have to miss.
Week? Fruit/Veggie? 17/onion
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I feel fine. I was crazy tired yesterday randomly. And I think I finally felt baby on Saturday night. I was lying on my right side & I felt a small tickle in my lower belly. It reminded me of when you're lightly touched & your spidey senses go off in that area. Except there was nothing touching me on the outside. I have read so many times it would feel like a fluttery or a popping, but this felt like a slow brush with a paintbrush from the inside. It was really cool. Haven't felt anything since though
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Nope
Rants? Raves? I'm going to need more maternity work clothes. I finally got my H&M skinny MAMA jeans in the mail, so I feel like I'm all set for weekend clothing. Oh and big rant: my Spanish final is tonight, I don't feel fully prepared. I hate studying for finals, it's just overwhelming. My ADHD brain short circuits & I don't even know where to begin. And right now I can't take Ritalin or even large amounts of caffeine to help.
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) I don't like being outside in the cold. I used to love skiing as a kid so I'll say that, even though I haven't done it in 15+ years.How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling pretty good. I think I'm starting to feel some kicks.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? A/s on Jan. 15th. The wait is killing me!
Rants? Raves? My only rant is if wish this acne would go away already!
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc). Sledding!!! We have an awesome place here that has a sledding ramp, so we take the girls every time we get a good snow, it's a blast!
Week? Fruit/Veggie?
19, mango!
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet?
Feeling alright, though I'm definitely feeling bigger! Having some stretching pains, but I've also been feeling the baby more, which is so exciting
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates?
A/S will be one week from today. We already know the sex (team blue!), but I'm eager to make sure everything looks good.
Rants? Raves?
Not much. Stressing a bit over the shopping I still have to do, and I feel like a black hole when it comes to food... but mostly alright
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc)
Sitting inside in the WARMTH, drinking hot chocolate! Haha I'm really not a winter person. I do enjoy sledding sometimes, though
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling good, still ocassionally very tired. Went to watch TV yesterday at 1 woke up on the couch at 4... Other than that it's nice to finally start looking pregnant instead of just bigger.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? A/S is tomorrow and it's all I can think about! This is baby number 1 so I'm going to for sure take a peek cause I'm horrible at suspense.
Rants? Raves? Rant: I am such a terrible person I haven't bought a single Christmas present. I've been avoiding malls. Usually I love to shop but it mostly involves buying clothes and I just can't get behind feeling pretty with my new figure. I know this is how I'm supposed to look but tell that to the vain little brat inside of me. Rave. My SIL gave me a home Doppler so every time I'm feeling bad I bust that out and hear the heart beat and it makes it all worth it!
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? I HATE cold. I'm originally from North Dakota and got my fair share for a life time up there. So usually during winter I'm curled up with my cats and hubby watching TV or reading by the fireplace.Week? Fruit/Veggie? 19/Mango
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Headaches are starting, and still occasional blah stomach, but as of last night I'm not taking anything for it, so I'm sure that's why. Feeling baby quite a bit lately, starting to notice patterns of when I feel baby. I love this time with movement, enough to notice and not enough to make be feel like I should be in an Alien movie.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? No appts until January
Rants? Raves? Rant: It's cold and snowy, we should have had a school delay today. Also, I haven't done most of my Christmas shopping and two of my family things are this weekend. And we have parent/teacher conferences tonight, meaning I will be at work for 11.5 hours today. Rave: The scale was down from the last couple weeks when it had jumped a bunch. I thought it was just bad days of weight, and today proved it. (No, I don't mind gaining, but it had suddenly jumped a bunch and that I don't like!!)
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) Sitting at the window drinking hot chocolate. I hate the cold and we've had the snowiest December on record, and that was before the snow this morning and what we might get tonight.
I still mostly don't really feel pregnant, except for being a bit more tired than usual. I think I've felt the baby a little, but not often or consistently enough to be confident that it's the baby and not digestion.
My anatomy scan is this Friday. Oh, the nervousness.
Rant: I don't like drinking the amount of water I should because my son apparently misses me terribly when I go pee (because I made a solemn vow to myself that I wouldn't be a mom who brings her kid into the bathroom with her except when absolutely necessary) and because washing my hands so much makes my already super dry winter hands turn into lizard mittens. I need more lotion in my life. Rave: My sister will watch my son so DH can be at the anatomy scan with me!
Favorite outdoor winter activity... huh. In college I used to love being out by a certain tree when it was snowing, leaning against the tree, watching the big snowflakes. I'm pretty sure I could even hear them if it was a weekend. (Everyone went home on weekends.) Now, I don't like being out in winter because I'm never quite sure my son is warm enough even with his hooded coat and hat and mittens, and I don't have much of a by-myself life yet. (I try to relish now and do a decent job of it, but I definitely look forward to the future.)
Week? Fruit/Veggie? 20 / Banana
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm exhausted today. I think my weekend was a little bit too much for me, so I'm trying to take it easy. I'll definitely be in bed early tonight! I'm feeling baby move several times a day now. It's so reassuring and amazing!
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? Had my A/S last week, and everything looks good! He was moving around like crazy, so the scan took more than an hour. I started to feel bad for my little guy; I don't think he liked being bothered for that long!
Rants? Raves? Rant - I think I have a cavity, and my gums have been really swollen. I guess I'll head to the dentist in the next few weeks. Boo! Rave - I'm so thrilled that I've been able to feel my little guy move around so much! I am so in love
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) I live in south FL, so we don't really get to do any of the typical outdoor winter activities at home. I've been snowboarding a couple of times on vacation, and that was fun. I also really enjoy a good snowball fight! Or building snow forts!

Week? Fruit/Veggie? 20 / Banana
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? I'm feeling alright with the exception of the random shooting pains in my right hip. I'm pretty certain I'm feeling baby after my morning OJ. It's so cool.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? My A/S is scheduled for next Monday.
Rants? Raves? nothing in particular this week.
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc) I love going ice skating but we don't go very often. The winter mostly finds me hanging out by the fire with the dogs like I'm doing right now.
Have a great week ladies!

Rants? Raves? Rant: my house trained dog has decided to start marking all over the house if we leave him for more than 2 hrs. It's so annoying. Not sure what to do about it.
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc). Well if we had snow all the time I would say all of it! But if I had to choose one, Skiing. Which I can't do this year
This baby better be worth it! 
How are you Feeling? Are you feeling baby yet? Feeling ok. This time is definitely harder than last time. Tired and crampy and feeling a little useless, but overall ok.
Upcoming appointments? A/S? Updates? A/s on Thursday. They moved mine up to check on my placenta so it's a little early. I'm not complaining.
Rants? Raves? Rant: peeing myself + my whole Monday bfest post. Rave: eggnog
GTKY: What is you favorite winter outdoor activity? (skiing, sledding, skating, building snowmen, etc)
I like to ski but haven't in a few years. I have been missing seasons due to cooking/raising babies.
