Re: ***Tuesday Ticker Change Check-in***
Morning ladies! Sorry to post and run today but I have an early meeting in a few minutes to prep for. I'll check in again later!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 24 weeks, cantaloupe, and BTW, v-day!!
How are you feeling? Good, aches and pains and heartburn but still good.
Favorite moment of the week? Last Friday, had an appointment and my mom came to hear the baby's heart beat and gave us the car seat that we registered for. And brought me some maternity clothes and cupcakes too! Lol.
Least favorite moment of the week? Yesterday, it was stormy all day/night and one of our dogs is afraid of storms and the other is crazy when he can't exercise outside so it was a long evening.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? The same, aches, heartburn, nothing too bad.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Still good, everything sounded good on Friday at my appointment and now that v-day is here I'm feeling even better. Although hopefully this LO stays put for 16 more weeks!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next appointment is in August for the glucose test, yuck. Also this isn't an appointment but we registered for child birth classes at the hospital in Sept so looking forward to that now too.

Thanks for the check in!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
7 weeks, Blueberry
How are you feeling?
Good days and bad days. I'm waiting for the rug to get pulled out beneath me and yesterday I got the "Is this your first pregnancy" question and I couldn't hold back the tears.
Favorite moment of the week?
Telling our families
Least favorite moment of the week?
Progesterone levels dropped. I'm reminding myself that it's not over, but seeing the drop was really hard. I was switched to PIO.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
About the same - nausea, tired, aches.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
This is my milestone week. I've never made it past 7 weeks with a pregnancy.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have an ultra sound and another blood draw on Wednesday. I'm hoping to be able to hear the heartbeat this week.How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 18 weeks -- sweet potato!
How are you feeling? Allergies are kicking my butt! Keep waking up with bloody noses at night
Thank goodness for benadryl, claritin, and breath right strips that at least keep me semi-functioning. I should be buying stock in Puffs.
Favorite moment of the week? Had a great Friday with SO and DS swimming in the lake at my parents' cabin in TN. We boated, fished, swam, boated to dinner, boated back... it was exhausting but awesome!
Least favorite moment of the week? On the drive home from TN, we got hit while stuck in traffic by a car that was attempting to get out of a roll situation. My car is likely totalled and it will be weeks until the insurance from the other party gets around to it. At least everyone is safe; I know that's all that matters in the end. The car hit on DS's side so we are definitely blessed that it was car damage only.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Getting more baby movement during the day, including a very fast tapping against some organ that makes it bounce off my skin. SO has a somewhat annoying habit of constantly tapping his foot, so I think I know who to blame for that one.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Doing okay; definitely busted out the doppler after the car accident, but baby was fine!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Looking forward to A/S on the 31st! Only 2 more weeks before we see baby again! We skipped the 12wk scan, so it's been a while.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
@rox825 Congrats on V-Day! How exciting!!
@uneek1323 Milestone weeks are so hard. But it sounds like your doctors are being really diligent and checking on you regularly. Hopefully that will keep PgAL brain at least a little bit at bay.
@haleyusf So glad that everyone is safe after the car accident! I have been debating getting a doppler, but the notion of being able to use it right away after something as scary as a car accident makes a lot of sense. Now I'm leaning more towards getting one.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 12 weeks, so I'm a plum!
How are you feeling? Generally pretty good. Work is super super quiet in July so I spend a lot of time doing nothing, which is quite nice. Plus I'm finally feeling energetic to get some exercise in, which is a nice change of pace.
Favorite moment of the week? I had a great weekend. I'm finally feeling a little better but instead of trying to squeeze out every ounce of productivity from myself this weekend, I let myself just enjoy it and really had a nice time.
Least favorite moment of the week? Still super moody, so occasionally I freak out at poor DH. He's pretty patient but it's still pretty unpleasant for both of us.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms are definitely getting better. Food aversions are more mild. Tiredness is much decreased. On the other hand, I'm peeing ever more frequently (which I didn't think was possible) and I have a hunch that heartburn may be here to stay throughout the whole pregnancy.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? In general its been really good. I actually starting the beginnings of a baby registry yesterday. That's a level of confidence that I definitely didn't have, even a week ago.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next Monday will be my 12 week scan and the doctor says that if all goes well I'll be officially out of the first trimester and can go public. I'm so excited!

@meladoriestar hooray for good betas!!
@haleyusf yikes! That sounds like a scary accident. Glad everyone is okay. It must be a pain to not have your car, though.
@larahouseman so close to second tri! And so wonderful that you are feeling more confident and excited. Enjoy it, mama!
@rox825 fun to look fwd to the birth class. We signed up for ours too, since apparently they fill up fast where we live. What kind of class did you decide on?
@slensic hope you and baby and are doing well at home! So happy for you!!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
How far along are you?
19 weeks - almost half baked! I think it's mango this week.
How are you feeling? Right this second, bummed that morning nausea is back for 2nd time this week.
Favorite moment of the week? Had a great Saturday morning with DS. After dropping off a huge car load of stuff at Goodwill (from cleaning out nursery), we got a late breakfast at this little surf spot and then got coffees while we walked around and enjoyed the view. Really relaxing and just nice to be together.
Least favorite moment of the week? Sudden horrible hormonal Sunday. I felt totally overwhelmed, angry, and just hysterical and nothing was really wrong. So I unconsciously searched for things to be wrong - picked a fight with DH, and ended up sobbing over our losses and feeling really scared about this LO for the first time in a while. It took DH and I awhile to untangle everything, but I am feeling more like myself now.
How are your symptoms?
Mostly better. Starting to get heartburn at night, and more backaches.
How is PGAL brain treating you?
Sunday was rough, and I'm starting to feel more tense about my a/s, which isn't until the 24th, but for the most part I'm ok.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What are your favorite TV shows?
We just started Orphan Black, which is a lot of fun.
Current favorites: Game of Thrones, Mad Men, House of Cards.
I also love catching Chopped, and watched about 8 million episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.
Eta: got my Lara's and my Laura's mixed up.

Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 33 weeks, It freaks me out to be at the top of the EDD list. I am sooo not ready yet.
How are you feeling? Really good. I had some bad contractions on saturday morning but dh was a doll and let me rest all morning.
Favorite moment of the week? I have worked really hard to get ready for baby. Crib is up and so is the dresser. Now to wash all the clothes and cd's etc.
Least favorite moment of the week? DS spent some time (3 days) with the IL's. It could be a coincidence but now he is throwing tantrums.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? I have been so happy that my GD numbers are great! We finally figured out what works.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? None
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I have a NST in an hour and a dr. appt after that.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
@uneek1323-Sorry about the progesterone but good luck on the u/s tomorrow!
@haleyusf-The car accident must have been scary. I am sorry that you now have to deal with the whole insurance process.
@larahouseman-Good luck at the NT scan
@meladoriestar-I am sorry about the spotting but the betas are looking good! Good luck at the u/s.
@jcar2-I'm sorry your pgal brain is so nuts right now. T&P's to you.
@megbmeg-Oh the hormones. You are totally allowed to blow up for no good reason every once and awhile.
How are you feeling? Mainly just tired.
Favorite moment of the week? I had my NT screen yesterday morning and things are still looking really good. I feel ok about sharing the news with a few more people, but still won't be completely public yet.
Least favorite moment of the week? Getting in a fight with MH last night about disorganized he is. His dresser, desk, and a very messy pile of papers in the living room is driving me crazy.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Maybe a little better, but also different. I'm rarely feeling sick anymore, but it's now replaced by mild headaches. The lightheaded feeling is still happening when I get up too fast.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I'm feeling pretty good. I am a little nervous about telling extended family this weekend. I know that sharing the excitement isn't going to jinx anything, but it makes me feel a bit uneasy at the same time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I have my 12 week prenatal appointment on Thursday.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What are your favorite TV shows? Parks & Rec, Modern Family, Parenthood, Game of Thrones, Grey's Anatomy, and I feel like I'm missing one but I can't remember.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
@rox825 Congrats on V-day!
@uneek1323 ((hugs)) Getting past those milestones is tough. Good luck at the u/s and with the b/w! Congrats on taking the step to tell your family, it really is a big step.
@haleyusf I’m glad that everyone is ok, but car accidents are so scary.
@larahouseman I’m glad that you’re starting to feel better. Almost to 2nd Tri, yay!
@meladoriestar Congrats on the betas! yay! I really hope that the spotting stops and am sending ((hugs)) for getting through your milestones.
@jcar2 FX that the time goes by quickly until your u/s.
@megbmeg Boo for more nausea and I’m sorry you had a bad day on Sunday. ((hugs))
@bonnesetter27 Yay for good blood sugar numbers! Good luck with the NST.
@meagpt22 Good luck with the GTT. I’m glad that you’re feeling better and feeling more movement.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
13 Weeks - Peach
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!)
We will find out Aug 22nd at our next appointment
How are you feeling?
Still feeling about the same. Still exhausted and nights are iffy for my stomach. I did stay up pretty late for a few nights while I was visiting some family and it felt good to feel human again.
Favorite moment of the week?
We had our 12 week appointment and everything went great. I finally passed my final milestone. My favorite moment was definitely seeing the baby’s heartbeat and watching it do flips and stretch its arms and legs.
Least favorite moment of the week?
The day of my appointment was a little miserable with a 5 hour drive and just the stress of the appointment getting moved up last minute but it was all completely worth it.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms feel pretty much the same. My stomach is getting a little better at night but my headaches are getting worse.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I am doing pretty well after our last appointment. We have started to tell people and I have told the people I work with. Still feels completely surreal to be this far along.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? We are looking forward to our next appointment mid Aug when we will do the anatomy scan and find out the gender.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What are your favorite TV shows? Friends is without a doubt my fav. But for current shows I really like How I Met Your Mother and The Black Box.

@Bonnesetter27 you're the leader of the pack now!
@meagpt22 oooo, teen mom! Excellent guilty pleasure choice.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
21 weeks, pomegranate
How are you feeling?
Ok, no big complaints.
Favorite moment of the week?
This was a good week, but the A/S wins the top prize. Baby girl is looking healthy will all of her parts looking as they should and my labwork showed very low risk of brain or spinal cord disorders. So YAY! She is measuring about a week ahead, so maybe we'll have a Chunky Tuna instead of a Tiny Tuna.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Lucy the puppy is teething again. #1 it makes me sad when I can tell her face hurts and there is little I can do. #2 she has a punky attitude and has been naughty.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm getting more uncomfortable as the belly gets larger and is getting in the way. My feet are starting to feel puffy, too. I bought some medium weight compression socks (cute ones though!) and they seem to help.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Good for the most part; the A/S brought relief because she looks good in there. But, I am still finding I'm a bit anxious always; I just can't shake it, I think I will be anxious until she gets here safely. I was asking the doctor about the cramping I was having and he was mostly re-assuring (my cervix still looks great), but said that "what we worry about most during the 20-25 week period is incompetent cervix because usually there is very little warning that something will go wrong". Great doctor, I was already nervous, I didn't need you to say that out loud. SMH.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Her birthday in late November? In all seriousness, the next thing I'm looking to is V-day in a few weeks.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 11 weeks! Fig.
How are you feeling? Really great. Messing with my PGAL brain, but saw a healthy baby on the u/s today, so today, I'm good!
Favorite moment of the week? Today's ultrasound. Little one moves a lot which makes the tech's job harder but just thrills me.
Least favorite moment of the week? I get all gaggy when I'm nauseated, and last night, I almost thew up in an office (who don't know I'm preggers).
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Very minor.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? The usual. Nothing severe.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? 1 week until the 2nd trimester! My first and longest pregnancy, I began spotting at 12 weeks. So in a week, I'm going to celebrate and actually get the hospital paperwork.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
How are you feeling? Pretty good, nervous for my AS scan today.
Favorite moment of the week? Today! Can't wait to find out what we are having.
Least favorite moment of the week? Throwing up a full breakfast a couple of days ago
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Things have been pretty calm (knock on wood) except for the random morning sickness and my quality of sleep is getting worse.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Pretty good at the moment.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? A/S today!! Midwife appointment next week.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~* What are your favorite TV shows? criminal minds, amazing race, Big Bang theory, two broke girls
@rox825 Congrats on V Day!!
@uneek1323 thinking of you think week, good luck with your ultrasound today.
@haleyusf sorry to hear about the car accident but I am glad everyone is okay.
@larahouseman good luck with your scan on Monday!
@meladoriestar congrats in the great betas!!good luck with the third set, is your doctor quick with getting then turnaround? The wait is always the worst.
@jcar2 sounds like you had a great weekend, sorry that PGAL brain us rearing her head.
@megbmeg sucks that your morning nausea is back too
@bonnesetter27 I hope your NST scan went well! Good luck finishing everything up for the baby.
@luciddreamer congrats on the great NT scan! We are still not completely public, PGAL is one tough cookie. Just tell ppl as you feel comfortable. You don't have to tell everyone at the same time.
@meagpt22 good luck with your glucose test next week.
@samanthalaura16 congrats on the great appointment and passing your final milestone!
@birch113 glad your appointment went well and your heard the baby, too bad it hasn't been as nice at home
@mrstuna08 congrats on the great A/S, love the tiny tuna/chunky tuna nicknames
