Re: ---Thursday Ticker Change---
How are you feeling? Headache today, otherwise OK.
Appointments/Updates? BP still not cooperating, was put on modified (which is basically strict) bedrest. Midwife upped my dosage, it's not working (just laying down is). She's going to give it some time and switch medicines next week. If they continue not to work, I need to stay on bedrest until I deliver. Sigh. I have ultrasounds every 2 weeks to check growth now.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not this week!
Rants/Raves: Covered above. I have a friend rave! They've been amazing to me this week
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? I haven't really thought of it yet, curious to read responses. I know I'll be posting pictures, though. That's not something I've ever shy'd away from online. But I'll likely keep myself locked down well fro outsiders.
How are you feeling? I am feeling great - especially since I got to see baby this morning :x
Appointments/Updates? Had my 20 week a/s scan this morning - everything looked great. Doctor did mention a benign Choroid Plexus Cyst, but assured me that it's nothing to worry about and will resolve itself by third trimester - said she sees this quite frequently.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Waiting until after our gender reveal party on Saturday to start making purchases - sooo close!
Rants/Raves: I'm literally on cloud 9 after seeing my sweet baby. 4D u/s are so amazing - we got to see our baby smile for the first time. Just melts my heart.
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? I'm a FTM, so I don't have any current "policy." However, I do have a lot of family out of state and social media is one of the ways we're able to connect. So, I'm sure there'll be posting of baby, just not overload.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling really good
Appointments/Updates? No appointments till my regular checkup 9/17, next u/s 9/23
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Just a crib that my friend was going to donate to Goodwill that I may or may not use.
Rants/Raves: I'm nervous about my next u/s after the last appt. when the u/s doctor told me that because there was an increased amount of amniotic fluid that there could be a chromosomal problem with the baby. My ob reassured me that it was normal, but I am still nervous to go! I wish my ob could perform the u/s!! He is so down-to-earth and breaks stuff down for me instead of just telling me facts.
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? I post pics of DD on FB here and there. I'm not crazy about it, but I don't stress about much stuff (maybe I should! LOL)
How are you feeling? Pretty good most days. Had some bad right foot swelling last weekend and that sucked but I can't complain.
Appointments/Updates? 2nd A/S tomorrow. We are high risk so had one pretty early then tomorrow they look closer at babies heart. All is going well thus far. Looking forward to seeing baby again. Did another hospital tour tonight and trying to decide between local hospitals for delivery location.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nope, this week have not bought anything. :-)
Rants/Raves: Neither really. Just happy right now.
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? Not sure but I have not even posted that I am pregnant on social media so not sure I will share any pictures of baby. I am much more comfortable with children not on the net. Close family can get snail mail photos. I know old school but I am kinda old :-).
How are you feeling? Pretty, pretty, pretty good
Appointments/Updates? A/S on Monday. Cannot wait!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? DH gave me a beautiful leather diaper bag for our wedding anniversary yesterday.
Rants/Raves: DH finally felt the baby move today! We were out at dinner and they were playing Spanish music. The baby was dancing along!
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? I'll post pictures but lock them down to friends only.
Feeling: I still feel sick in the morning and I'm the evening. I sympathize with @ladyamanuet. I can feel the boys moving but not externally yet. I keep poking them but nothing yet.
Appointments: mid-month glucose test and I will see if I get the go ahead to travel through October. I have a trip to Maine for fun and a trip to SoCal for work.
I ordered the skeleton t-shirt with the two baby skeletons for Halloween. Does that count?
Rants/raves: work, uggggg.
QOTW: I haven't given it much thought. I am not big on FB and while it is somewhat casual, I think of FB as part of my professional image. I had a friend who got into a situation at work and the news media pulled info off his FB account. It was somewhat embarrassing for him to have quotes from FB on the news.
How are you feeling? Great, although my hips bother me when I sleep. Oh, and also, my feet have been giving me issues. A couple of weeks ago, I sprained my left ankle, and it's taking forever to heal (can't remember if I've mentioned this previously or not...), and so I've quit my walking routine this week and just focused on my yoga, since I'm at risk for plantar fasciitis (nbr).
Appointments/Updates? A/S on Monday!!!!! Also, we just signed up for birth classes! We're doing the Bradley Method, since we found a 10-week class that only cost $125!! It starts on Monday, so Monday's a big day for us!!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nothing new.
Rants/Raves: Last night, I had the BEST piece of toast EVER. DH made it for me which made it even better. It was some of the Private Selection flaxseed bread from Kroger, with butter and Irish blackberry jam on top. YUM. I may go make some more in a bit...haha!
QOTW: What is your social media "policy" regarding your child(ren)? I don't really have one right now...I'll probably post a bunch of pictures, but then again, maybe not. I haven't talked a lot about my pregnancy on social media either. And while I take tons of pictures of my cat right now (I freaking love her), I don't usually do much with them other than send them to friends or family who might like them. It'll probably be similar with Baby Stormy.
