Tuesday Ticker Change

slensic · April 2014

Happy Tuesday! It's still Tuesday and I am getting the check up, Yay!!!

Another week down! How is everyone doing today?

So I am 2 1/2 months away from my scheduled c-section. I thought I would start looking for someone to take over the check-in for me. I think I would love to hand it off at the beginning/ middle of June but I would love to line up that person in the next couple of weeks. Ideally it would be someone with a EDD at least a couple months after me, just so you don't have to line up a new person right away. PM me if you are interested and then when we get closer to switching I can email you all the info that was sent to me.

If your ticker changes over to a new week today, feel free to join our check-in! Help us get to know you better by giving us a brief intro and including your estimated due date.

slensic · April 2014

28 weeks, eggplant

How are you feeling?

pretty good this week

Favorite moment of the week?

Getting a lot done in the nursery and getting closer to finalizing the name

Least favorite moment of the week?

Nothing too bad, I am so much less stressed than the last few weeks that I am very relaxed.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

just heartburn this week

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Mostly good, although with the nursery really taking shape it's making me worry if I don't feel him very much.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

ob appt next week/ glucose test on Thursday but I am not looking forward to that

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together?

We met through his sister. She and I were good friends first. We have been together for 9 years and married for 5 and half years.

megbmeg · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

7 weeks - blueberry

How are you feeling?

Right this moment - starving! I was so happy to pull my lunch out of the microwave, I actually teared up.

Favorite moment of the week?

Finally making it to 7 weeks! Time has been moving like molasses.

Least favorite moment of the week?

Really regretted taking my fish oil pill this morning. All through my first class, I kept wondering if I was going to have to run for the bathroom. Blech! I'm going to have to figure out a better time to take it.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Morning sickness kicked in a few days ago. It's worse in the morning, but pretty much lasts all day. I'm still trying to figure out how/when to eat & drink so I'm not too sick, etc. I'm so thirsty, but if I drink much, I feel terrible.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

So so. Doing much better than when I first found out. The m/s is actually really reassuring even though it is miserable. Starting to get nervous as I get closer to 8 weeks (my loss milestone). I'm sure I'll be reaching out to all of you next week for some t&ps.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Still counting down the days for the next u/s (10 days). It's not til May 1.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together?

We first met in elementary school, actually! But then he moved away. We ran into each other in the dorms in college and started dating the very first week of our freshman year. So we've been together nearly 12 years now! Married for 5 in June.

rox825 · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 12 weeks, plum

If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!) Team Green

How are you feeling? OK, still really tired and bloated/full all of the time but overall not too bad.

Favorite moment of the week? Our US today, we saw the baby moving like crazy!

Least favorite moment of the week? Many moments at work this week, I used to like my job a lot but lately it's been really annoying.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? I started to get heartburn off and on a couple of weeks ago, and I still feel uncomfortably full all of the time which makes it hard to drink enough. But the nausea seems to be gone!

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Feeling pretty good emotionally today after a good US. In 2 days I'll be more pregnant that I've ever been before so that's a good thing!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next appointment will be about 2 weeks.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together? We met through a mutual friend, have been together for about 9 years and married for over 4.

rox825 · April 2014

slensic I've had a few dates recently, last week was my loss EDD which was a sad day, and tomorrow is the day when we found out about our MMC. Luckily I had a good appointment today so I'm feeling good, once Thursday rolls around I'll be even better!

Prepping the nursery sounds fun, do you have a theme?

Also, my EDD is November so I could take over the check-in when you're ready to give it up.

megbmeg · April 2014

Congrats on 2nd tri @meagpt22!

@rox825 your u/s news is so delightful. It sounds incredible to see LO moving around so much

@slensic glad to hear you're feeling relaxed! What is the nursery looking like?

slensic · April 2014

@rox85 I am so sorry you have had some many loss dates ((hugs)).

It would be wonderful for you to take over the check-in. I will message you with more details when we get closer to June and then we can also figure out an official switch date too.

We have a color scheme of navy and red and then a light theme of airplanes. Here is my mood board.

megbmeg · April 2014

@slensic such a happy, cheerful look for a nursery. Cute!

Belle3184 · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

Raspberry-I think?

If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!)

Unknown

How are you feeling?

Really sick-horrible fatigue an nearly constant nausea

Favorite moment of the week?

Watching DD dig into her Easter basket

Least favorite moment of the week?

Going back to work today

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Worse, much worse. At least, I feel like that's a good aign

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I'm really nervous about my ultrasound on Thursday. I know that at eight weeks this ultrasound will tell us quite a bit and in praying for a strong heartbeat and baby measuring on scale

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

See above

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We met at a wedding and we have been together since August 2010.

megbmeg · April 2014

@belle3184 - Good luck on thurs! I agree about the nausea - it's miserable and reassuring. And miserable. Hang in there!

Belle3184 · April 2014

@slensic‌ - love your nursery choices! I have something similar in mind of LO ends up being a boy.

mrs_tuna_08 · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

9w0d! Olive

How are you feeling?

The cross-country move is happening this week, so I'm a little crazy-cakes. But, things are getting checked off the to-do list, so that is nice!

Favorite moment of the week?

Making it through the hour wait and not puking up the glucose solution for the glucose tolerance test! (see explanation below)

Least favorite moment of the week?

Glucose tolerance test, at 9 weeks, wtf? It's because I have a huge family history of diabetes (although that's my only risk factor), so I guess I understand why they want to test early, but maybe this is a little early, for reals. Also, I'm still ms barfy, and that solution was so gross to have to drink. And they told me if I threw up before the test was over, I had to start over.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

no change here

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

the upside of the packing/moving craziness is that I have no extra space for worry!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

no near ones, they all seem so far away, boo

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together?

DH and I met in college. One of my HS friends was in his fraternity so we ended up going to the same parties. We were friends for several years before we started dating. We've been together for 9 years, married for almost 6!

mrs_tuna_08 · April 2014

@slensic I love your nursery theme!

megbmeg · April 2014

good luck with the big move @lt6720! Moving is so stressful. I hope it feels really good once it's all done, though!

rox825 · April 2014

@megbmeg What a neat story about you and your H! Hope you can figure out a way to manage the morning sickness.

@meagpt22 Congrats on second tri!

@slensic I love the color scheme and the bedding in your pic! It's going to look great!

@Belle3184 Sorry you're feeling sick, I felt worst weeks 6-9. Hope you have a great appointment on Thursday.

@lt6720 Good luck with your move, sounds exciting! Sucks that you had to do the glucose test with morning sickness.

Bonnesetter27 · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

21 weeks/ I don't know

How are you feeling?

Ok my sciatica continues to be a pesky problem so I think I ma going to make a chiropractor appt.

Favorite moment of the week?

I spoke with a co-worker about a c-section at the hospital I will deliver at. She really reassured me about it being more mother/baby friendly.

Least favorite moment of the week?

I am trying to figure out worst/best case scenarios with FMLA and disability and it is making my head hurt.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Just the sciatica

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

A girl from my bmb lost her dd this week to previa. It has made me nervous about my lo staying put for awhile.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Not until mid-May.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together?

We met at a summer camp where we both worked but we were just friends. In fact we lived together with 3 other people a year before we started dating. We have been together 7 years/married 5.

megbmeg · April 2014

@Birch113 what a cute story about you and your H. Fx for you for tomorrow. BTW, are you still in CA?

Bonnesetter27 · April 2014

@slensic- I love the nursery theme!
@megbmeg- That's so cute that you guys went to elementary school together.
@rox825- Congrats on the great u/s
@Belle3184- Good luck on the u/s on Thursday.
@meagpt22- Yeah for the 2nd tri, boo for continued yuckiness.
@it6720-Good luck on the move.

megbmeg · April 2014

@bonesetter27 I hope you get some relief for your sciatica. Have you had good luck with chiropractic in the past?

kalynn12 · April 2014

Hi @slensic thanks for check in! Sorry I missed last week but was out of town.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 7 weeks, raspberry. My EDD is December 9th

How are you feeling? Surprisingly calm at the moment.

Favorite moment of the week? Getting to see our doggie after being away for 5 days. She was over the moon that we were back.

Least favorite moment of the week? Nausea starting in full force!

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Nausea definitely kicked in this week along with an aversion to steak (which of course happened with an expensive steak in front of me at a very nice restaurant).

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Calm at the moment but have my first US on Friday. If we see a heart beat this will be the furthest we have made it.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? See above

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together? We have been together for 6 years. We met when DH was attending a conference at the hotel I worked at.

@megbmeg I am always starving too, not sure how I am going to get out of the 1st tri without gaining a bunch of weight.

@rox825 Congrats on the great US!

@meagpt22 Yeah for 2nd tri! Hopefully you will start feeling better soon.

@slensic I love your scheme board, you will have to share pics when it's done

@bella3184 Goodluck on your US tomorrow. Sorry about the nausea

@it6720 I hope the move goes smoothly. Are you driving or flying? Sorry about the glucose test, but good for you for keeping it down, I don't think I could have at the moment. The thought of it actually makes me queasy.

@birch113 I end up with pasta with butter and parm last night too, I just couldn't bring myself to eat the meat sauce. Good luck with your first appointment today!

@bonnesetter27 I hope your sciatica feels better soon.

haleyusf · April 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

6 weeks yesterday; sweet pea!

How are you feeling?

Generally really good; started running again the last couple days so that has been nice to get out and feel active. Not huge mileage but at least it's something.

Favorite moment of the week?

Went to church on Sunday for the first time in a long time with SO and it was a really wonderful experience. Of course because of my propensity for crying, I cried through the ENTIRE service, but it was still a really good experience.

Least favorite moment of the week?

It's certainly my saddest moment, but not necessarily my least favorite because it was beautiful. Our friend's wife ended up passing this weekend, and he posted a photo of them that was the most beautiful photo; it was from when they were in their early 60's I think and they were dressed in matching santa outfits with hats and everything, riding a tandem bicycle down a road called Happiness Ave. It was the most beautiful picture and completely summed up their deep love for each other. As sad as we were to hear of her passing, it was also a true affirmation of love in it's purest form.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

My abs are sooooo sore; feels like I did a thousand crunches. Also, still crying all the time and I was really moody yesterday. Crazy dreams and swollen boobs.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I'm generally okay; wishing next week would get here sooner so I can know that everything is alright with the baby.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

U/s next tuesday!

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

We spend lots of time talking about babies and pregnancy. So let's talk about our DH/SO. How did you meet and how long have you been together?

This one will be a doozy, so hold on to your hats. SO and I met through our running club in October 2013; one of our friends was training for a 100 mile race and he was doing an overnight 25 mile training run. I needed to test out my Darth Vader costume that I was planning on wearing for the Marine Corps Marathon the next week, so I agreed to go on the run. We recruited a couple more buddies and SO ended up being one of them. We were both still married to other people but he was separated and I was almost separated. He's a huge Star Wars fan, so the fact that I was dressed as Darth Vader was a huge turn on. He and I talked nonstop the entire 25 miles. We struck up a friendship/flirtship that continued until I was formally separated from my ex and then we had our first date Christmas Eve. Yeah, 4 months ago. But we've been inseparable since and knew from the very beginning that we were in this for the long haul. Due to our ages (he's 34 and I'm 30) and my lupus, we knew that it would be safer to have children sooner rather than later, and because the lupus carries a higher risk of m/c, I knew it could take us a while to have a take-home baby. So here we are; 4 months in and 6 weeks pregnant, and we're both ecstatic. Friends and family are all super supportive, so that has helped it seem less insane, even though when I say it out loud, I realize it sounds crazy. Marriage is definitely in the future, but I think we'll wait until after the baby is born so we can space out the life changes a little.

mrs_tuna_08 · April 2014

Thanks ladies for all of the moving well wishes! I'll keep you posted on how it goes. We are very fortunate that DH's company pays for a moving company - they are coming Thursday to box everything up, load the boxes and the cars onto the truck on Friday, and we are done by Friday evening! We moved from CT to CA about a year and a half ago with the same company, so I feel pretty confident that I know what to expect - it is bonkers that your whole house gets packed in a day. But, it is SO much easier that having to do it all by yourself. We will fly to my parents house (with the cats as our carry-ons) and stay there a week until our stuff gets to the new house!

@rox825 I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and do a little happy dance for you!

@bonnesetter27 ((hugs)) for pgal brain

@kalynn12 good luck Friday!

@haleyusf I'm sorry for the loss of your friend's wife. That photo sounds so beautiful and special.

Bonnesetter27 · April 2014

@megbmeg-I have never been to a chiropractor before. This one was recommended and she specializes in pregnancy care. I hope it works.
