Re: ***Wednesday Ticker Change***
Week/fruit/Veggies? 24! It's V-day! Fruit is canteloupe.
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Feeling mostly good. Main issue these days is lack of consistent sleep. I've also been having heart palpitations and shortness of breath. The doctor says to get checked out if it's accompanied by chest pain, otherwise just drink lots of water. I'm starting to get a little concerned that it may a sign of anemia. Hoping to get that checked out at my next appointment. Movement has been pretty consistent. Hiccups started a week or so ago!
Upcoming appointments/updates? I just had an appointment last week. All was good but learned that I have an anterior placenta that seems to be staying down low so they'll be monitoring that at the start of 3rd tri. It's also time to schedule my glucose test. Not looking forward to that!
Rants/Raves?
Rave - I've finally started making progress on our To Do list to get the house in order before baby comes, which feels great. Makes things seem less overwhelming.
Rant - I have time to make that progress because I'm not getting supply calls (last week was exams), which also means I'm not getting paid. That is starting to get stressful.
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? The stroller and the dresser, I think. I'm not expecting anyone to spend that much money on the dresser we picked out so I'd be incredibly excited if someone did and saved us that expense!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Feeling great, but starting to actually feel pregnant. Going up the stairs is a lot slower as is rolling out of bed. No new symptoms, but lots of movement. Squish is a very active baby.
Upcoming appointments/updates? I had a follow-up appointment to check on my placenta previa. Good news is that it is NOT covering the cervix; however, it is still a bit low. The low part is thinning out and my OB thinks that it will move completely as my uterus continues to grow. I have another U/S scheduled for 2/28 at a high-tech U/S place to make sure it has moved completely. I also have my glucose test scheduled for 2/28.
Rants/Raves? Rant: I am so over winter weather. Give me Spring! Rave: We set up the crib on Sunday and our guest room is starting to look like a nursery now
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STM, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again? Most excited about the glider and stroller - we registered for the Uppa Baby Vista stroller and a Best Chair glider/rocker/swivel combo - it is the perfect sleeping chair.
Week/fruit/Veggies? Week 26 today! Lettuce!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Good overall, bad hip and back pain though.. No new symptom but I think I might be having Braxton Hicks... not really sure though! She moves a lot more when music is playing.
Upcoming appointments/updates? Monday is the glucose test!
Rants/Raves? Grouchy cause I cant fall asleep anymore. Happy because DH has two job interviews this week so maybe we can actually afford to buy more baby stuff!
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STM, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again?
The travel system! I really want my breast pump too hehe...
27 weeks, rutabaga!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement?
Starting to feel big and a little uncomfortable. Some swelling/pain below my C/S scar (not related to C/S, just carrying LOW), and some other less than desirable symptoms. Lots of movement. I think this may be the most active of my three babies!
Upcoming appointments/updates?
Glucose test and checkup with OB next week.
Rants/Raves?
Rants- The discomfort, but hanging in there! I know how worth it all of this is. :-) Also, I am SO over winter! This winter has been unbelievable.
Raves- Still getting in some good workouts despite the discomfort, and excited that I am just shy of the third trimester!
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again?
This is my third baby, so I don't need to buy much. I was probably most excited about getting a new diaper bag, and I can't wait to use our co-sleeper again. I love having baby right there!
@Jcrewgirl85, hope that placenta keeps moving out of the way!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? The tiredness is back with a vengeance....my legs and hips ache.....but, Elena is moving like crazy now and I love it!
Upcoming appointments/updates? I go for the glucose test on the 17th.....
Rants/Raves? Not this week!
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again?
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Feeling okay. Just randomly started having some heartburn in the last week or so. My left ankle was really swollen yesterday when I got home from work as well. Seems too early for that
Upcoming appointments/updates? 1-hr GTT tomorrow
Rants/Raves? Tired of work right now and wish I could just be at home, but oh well.
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again? Hmmm...well, I think this time around I am going to get a Rock 'N Play, which we didn't have with DS. I am pretty excited about that. Aside from that, I am just excited to decorate another nursery again. I enjoy that part!

How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? I'm feeling good.. Baby is moving around more often than not
Upcoming appointments/updates? I have my glucose test on Friday.. And a regular appt on the 24th
Rants/Raves? I'm getting sick of winter, I want summer and warm weather.. And no snow!!! My doc told me my stomach is measuring good and that I have very good stomach muscles
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? & STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again? I'm really excited and hope someone or some people purchase my stroller, car seat combo. I'm so excited for the print...
@83edwards That is a pretty swing!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Tons of kicking and husband can now feel baby kick too! The look on his face the first time was so precious!
Upcoming appointments/updates? Sono in two weeks, so excited to see his little face. The last time his hands were covering and we could just barely see. My sister told me to drink a full glass of OJ just before so he would move around a lot. Hope it works!
Rants/Raves? Rants: Ive decided to leave the June month club after being bullied from other moms for an apparently 'stupid question' but still really want to hear and share with other expecting moms. I'm actually due May 31st (was changed from June 7th in week 12) so I hope y'all don't mind me joining in so late
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? I haven't started one but need to! I feel so behind...
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Feeling tired still and still hungry a lot. I feel him everyday. He likes to kick harder at night while I am trying to sleep!
Upcoming appointments/updates? I had my monthly appt yesterday. My next appt is my glucose test in two weeks boo!
Rants/Raves? I just hate this cold weather and want it to get warm again. Also, I can't freaking find anything to wear for my maternity pics and it's making me mad!
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? I am excited about everything actually!
26 weeks, A head of lettuce!!
How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement?
Been feeling tired still/always. No real new symptoms, still getting some hip pain at night, and lower back pain kind fo randomly, but hb hasn't even been that bad lately. I still get really gassy though which is no fun. Movement is definitely getting stronger, we can usually see it now too, but he is lazy during the day. I barely feel him until I get home and veg out for a bit.
Upcoming appointments/updates?
Glucose test on Monday! Also seeing the OB then.
Rants/Raves?
Rants: I slipped on the ice at work on friday. It wasn't a bad fall, landed pretty lightly and didn't hurt at all, but I did land on my left thigh and left side of my belly so I called the Dr. anyways. They told me to go in to get monitored and I had to leave work early and spend the next 4 hours in the hospital hooked up to the fetal doppler. He was doing just fine though. It was totally worth it to make sure he was ok, but I hated having to leave and throw more work on my co-workers, and it was a long 4 hours. Trying to be really careful now but I feel like it would be amazing if I make it through the next 3 1/2 months without falling again.
Also we are getting half as much back from our taxes as I was hoping which puts a damper on our baby spending money/maternity leave budget
Raves: MIL knows someone who is getting rid of a crib and changing table in the color I wanted, and she is going to take care of shipping it out to us! So that will save us a big chunk as we were planning on buying the furniture ourselves. Can't wait to get it here and make his room start to look like a nursery
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again?
I am probably most excited for our travel system and our PnP, mainly because I feel like these are the big things we really need. Also the video monitor, I think that will be really nice to have.
@JuneBug317 Just wanted to say welcome! I did the same thing and posted on the wrong ticker day when I starter
Jcrewgirl85 Glad to hear it making progress, FX that placenta keeps moving up!!

How are you feeling?/Any new symptoms?/More movement? Good, some more movement. He definitely has his busy times.
Upcoming appointments/updates? My next appointment is in a week, nothing exciting though.
Rants/Raves? None.
GTKY: If you have a registry, what item are you most excited about receiving for baby? STMs, what new item you are excited to either purchase for this baby or what item are you most looking forward to using again? I'm getting a double stroller and excited to get some new clothes and bedding since this one's a boy.
