~Monday Ticker Change Check-In~

SuperKim13 · July 2014

Good Afternoon and happy Monday to all! Welcome to the Monday ticker change check-in!

This is a check in for anyone who's ticker moves to a new week/fruit on Monday. Do we have any new Monday ticker changers? If so, please intro below and I will add you to the check-in!

This is the last check in that I will be running. It is bittersweet because I have really enjoyed getting to know each of you, but on the other hand, DH and I are over the moon excited to meet our rainbow. Of course, I'll continue to check in here until that happens and afterward I will be over here each week lurking and rooting you all on. You are a wonderful bunch of ladies!!! I want to thank you all for letting me know you better. Many thanks to @deezidee04who will be taking over this check in next week.

Amores0121 – So glad that things are going well. When do you move into the new place? I give you a lot of credit for moving at this stage of the game. I hope you're hiring someone good! Your little one is almost here!!!

Kateitho - How is Paul doing this past week? I hope he's doing well! Ugh, dogs and their lack of self preservation instincts... My Duncan once ate an entire tray of Chinese food leftovers including chicken wing bones and the sticks from beef teriyaki! How are you doing this week?

Third&goal - So glad that everything is going well for you. How have you been?

lindsayhilleary - I can totally understand what you mean about missing work. As much as this place drives me crazy, it feels like a family, so it makes sense. I'm glad you were able to do what is best for you and the little one, though. How are you feeling this week?

princezjk - Hope everything is still looking awesome at the weekly checks! Dare I ask about nursery progress? Is that little guy giving any indication that he is ready to come out and meet everyone??

voplo - How are you holding up? Still on bed rest? Is the SPD pain any better? It will not be long now!

deezidee04 - Congratulations on V-Day, momma!! And congrats on the big announcement! How was your weekend?

Banbie18 - I hope the hospital addresses that poor patient care with the people who did your first sono. (((HUGS))) That sucks that the nausea is back. Feeling any better this week?

songbirdsinging55 - How was your week? When is the Glucose test this week?

TheFutureMrsD - Any progress on names? How was your week?

sgio7485 - How was your NT scan? Are you feeling any better?

Samuelismomma - How are you holding up, 12 weeks now, right? Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon!

ChicagoJackie - How was your week? Congrats on those numbers and that ultrasound!!

Footprint - Hello and welcome to the check in, we are so happy to have you! How was your week? Good luck at your OB appointment this week!

Thank you for running check-in, @SuperKim13! I'm so excited for you and your hubby - you get to meet your rainbow SO soon! I can't wait for your birth story and pics of the LO

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 24 weeks, cantaloupe. (V-Day, holy crap!!)

Appts/ Updates? None for now, but no news is good news!

How are you feeling? Pretty normal still. Finally in maternity clothes, so there's that.

What are you craving? A Bloody Mary... whomp whomp

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be? "Don't despair, your boobs will finally appear in your college years!"

It was great, thank you! Had a 4th of July barbecue at my parents' house, a cookout with friends on Saturday, and got to go to a dog park on Sunday! Zomg. The dog park. I don't have a dog but I went with a couple friends who brought theirs...I was in heaven! If only my apartment allowed dogs, I would so get a puppy. Le sigh.

princezjk · July 2014

Thank you for running check-in @SuperKim13‌! I can't believe it is your last week! I can't wait to "meet" super baby!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 7/21 - 38 weeks! - a pumpkin

Appts/ Updates? Still doing NSTs once a week and seeing OB once a week. No real updates. Having irregular contractions, but nothing consistent. Just waiting!

How are you feeling? BIG! and ready to meet my little guy!

What are you craving? Carbs, as always!

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?

SLOW DOWN! I feel like I was always in a rush to achieve these perceived milestones. I would just tell myself to slow down and enjoy the ride more.

@SuperKim13‌ - guess what? The nursery is done! We finished yesterday, so just shy of 38 weeks. It is such a relief! How are you making out? And now since it has been the topic of discussion for the last month and a half, some pics to prove I did it!

songbirdsinging55 · July 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? Oct 27th!! 24 weeks!!! V-DAY!!!!!!! Grapefruit.

Appts/ Updates? Went in for glucose test on Thursday only to discover that I was scheduled too early for the test. Meaning I drank the orange drink for nothing and will have to do so again on the 25th. I was so sick after.

How are you feeling? Exhausted, we moved into a 3 bedroom condo yesterday. We had been In a one bedroom house temporarily while the landlord was having our new place renovated. He offered us a significant discount if DH did all the painting and repairs so I have been helping with that. Our new place is so much nicer but I am beat.

What are you craving? Watermelon

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
Stop worrying so much, everything works out the way it is supposed to.

@SuperKim13‌ I am so excited to see our updates! Thank you for running the check in :-)

chicagojackie · July 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 2/23/14, 7 weeks, blueberry

Appts/ Updates? Appt is July 18th for next ultrasound.
Next blood test is Thursday (progesterone only.)

How are you feeling? In general pretty good, but a few nights ago I think I went to bed too quickly after dinner and it did not digest fully and I woke up to vomit 5-6 times, ugh. My first yucky vomiting episode this pregnancy. Other than that, really, really tired.

What are you craving? Sleep! more sleep!

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
Dump that high school boyfriend sooner. Enjoy more single time and go out more with girlfriends!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 32 weeks/squash

Appts/ Updates? I have an OB appt on Weds morning. And this morning I saw my acupuncturist for the first time since the beginning of second tri. It was just a check-in/consult but we decided I'd start seeing him once a week for birth prep at 36 weeks. I can't believe how close that is!

How are you feeling? I'm feeling really good. Mainly just tired, I've had some swelling in my feet and ankles, and that spot under my right boob constantly annoys me. Oh, and I'm HOT all the time. But otherwise I'm feeling really good.

What are you craving? More fruit. Chocolate milk. I really want cheesecake for some reason.

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be? Don't let anyone make big life decisions for you. Those decisions are YOURS to make. Trust your gut and your heart and you won't regret it.

lindsayhilleary - I can totally understand what you mean about missing work. As much as this place drives me crazy, it feels like a family, so it makes sense. I'm glad you were able to do what is best for you and the little one, though. How are you feeling this week?
Sorry I missed the check in last week. I was in CA visiting my fam and having a bit of a babymoon with DH. It was so good to be around my family and my best friends. It really helped with the lonely feelings I was having before. They threw me an amazing baby brunch/shower (Just my mom, sister and 3 best friends, and it was perfect) and we also got some maternity photos taken while we were in CA. I'll AW a couple of them on Friday

Kim, thank you so much for running the check in! You've been so awesome at it! I'm so excited for you to meet your LO :-D

You are getting so close, too! So glad you had an awesome visit, cant wait to see those maternity photos!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the nursery!! That is so adorable, the monsters are so freakin cute!

Ours is just about done, too! My mom is coming up to help put the finishing touches on it this weekend. But the shop vac is gone and the crib, glider, and dresser/changing table are in!

OMG, your little guy will be here soooo soon!

Congratulations on V day! Ugh, moving is the worst, I cant imagine doing it while pregnant! I'm glad it's over now. Sounds like a nice spot for your growing family!

Ugh, sorry to hear about the sickness. Hopefully it will be behind you soon. And get some rest! First tri was really exhausting for me, too!

sgio7485 · July 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? Jan.19/ 12 weeks/plum

Appts/ Updates? Not until July 28th.. how will I make it that long?! I had my NT scan last Thursday and it could not have gone better! Got my blood work results back too, and everything was within an excellent range. LO was measuring a full week ahead with a heart rate of 168, moving around like crazy!

How are you feeling? much better! nausea seems to (fingers crossed) be subsiding, unless I let myself get really hungry (which is all the time lately! ugh!). Headaches are here to stay it seems. Some mild cramping has picked back up this week that I'm hoping is just LO growing and stretching stuff out. I can definitely see that my bloat blump is becoming more of a little bump!

What are you craving? fuji apples, cinnamon raisin bagels, iced coffee (yay! aversion is over!), french fries.

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be? Your boobs will come in soon

SuperKim13 · July 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 37 week, I think it is a winter melon, but I do not know what that is.

Appts/ Updates? Had an OB appointment last week, turns out I am GBS+ (whomp whomp) and they are thinking baby might be transverse, so I am going to have an ultrasound on Wednesday of this week. I'd love any "head down" vibes you can send.

We have also just about finished the nursery! Very exciting. My mom will be up to help wrap things up for good this coming weekend. Hospital bag is packed and I'm ready whenever baby is!

How are you feeling? Feeling good. The foot swelling which got really bad last week actually seems to have gone down a bit! I am peeing every 5 minutes, though and walking very far is getting more uncomfortable.

What are you craving? Lemonade - always!

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be? I would tell myself to worry less and enjoy where I am at in life without worrying about getting to what comes next!

Congratulations on the awesome NT scan! And I am so glad you're feeling better. I'll bet it's a super adorable bump!!

sgio7485 · July 2014

@superkim13, sending lots of "head down" vibes your way!

footprint · July 2014

@SuperKim13‌ thank you so much for the warm welcome and for running check-in! You must be so excited to meet your LO!!!

@princezjk‌ I love the nursery! Great job!

AFM:

EDD/Week/Fruit: February 16, 2015. Week: 8 Raspberry.

Thursday is my first OB appt and I will get an Rx for an ultrasound. So, super excited!

I've been feeling good for the most part. Very tired, a lot of heartburn, and horrid, stabby pains in my breasts that come and go. But really it isn't that bad.

I've been craving this Taco Dip from The Jewel deli (a grocery chain here).

QOTW if I could go back, I would tell myself to let go. That control is just an illusion that exists in your head. That it's a lot easier to go with the flow.

kateitho · July 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 32/ squash or a fat chihuahua

Appts/ Updates? My last appt was Friday, and I lost 2 lbs, so now I have to drink 3 Ensures a day.... Yuck!

How are you feeling? Feeling good, but I get worn out easy now.

What are you craving? Anything lemony or lime flavored

QOTW: If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be? Relax. Good friends and the memories you make with them are just as important as a good GPA. Also, quit fighting with Anna. She's the best friend you've got!

LOL at the fat chihuahua! Ugh, sorry about the ensure, but hopefully that will help your sweet LO get the nutrients he or she needs. Sounds healthier than my regimen of 3 pizzas a day anyway...

Have you made any homemade lemonade to quench that craving? I thought it would be a hassle but I've been making it almost every week now and it really tastes a million times better than anything else I get at the store. I even change it up and throw some lime in there every now and then!

kateitho · July 2014

I've been hooked on Simply Limeaid, and I forgot to add that Paul (our pup) is doing great now. You'd never know he almost died 2 weeks ago...

chicagojackie · July 2014

Hey the three pizza a day regimen sounds delicious. I don't think ensure comes in pizza flavor

Darling robot nursery btw

love it

Amores0121 · July 2014

@SuperKim13 I know I'm super late on posting, but wanted to wish you good luck with your baby and thank you for running the check-in.

Amores0121 – So glad that things are going well. When do you move into the new place? I give you a lot of credit for moving at this stage of the game. I hope you're hiring someone good! Your little one is almost here!!! We moved in on the 30th, but we didn't hire anyone. I did about 95% of the packing on my own and family and friends helped with the move. I have almost everything unpacked. Still things that need to be organized and baby's stuff is not 100% ready so I am just crossing my fingers he doesn't arrive before I am ready for him!
