Re: *******MONDAY TICKER CHANGE*******
* I am 16 weeks/Avacado
* I am still having god awful morning sickness otherwise I have actually not felt too bad, had a short bout with round ligament pain but that has since gone away
*I have my 16 week check up this Wednesday. They told me that it will just be an OB apt but im actually meeting with the midwife who I have never seen before, it has always been my actual doctor so that was weird to me and I thought it might be a mistake. But when I asked them last week the lady said that the reason I am meeting with the midwife is because it's a10 doctor/midwife practice and they want you to meet with as many as possible cuz at anytime that you go into labor any of the 10 can deliver you. So I suppose I will be meeting with her and also getting my first trimester screen results as well.
* And this, well I asked this to I suppose try to make myself feel better about the fact that I have nothing accomplished for this child lol and I have absolutely no idea where the last 4 months have gone WOW it has gone SOOOOO quick haha so yea that's where im at with that lol
16 weeks!
How are you feeling?
OK, I'm pretty sure tired is my new normal. But I do feel a lot better than I did in the first trimester.
Any new pregnancy symptoms?
Nothing new. Constipation that I can't shake. Drinking prune juice right now hoping I don't have to move on to some more serious remedies.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing?
I'll also be going to the OB on Wednesday. They'll just be listening to the heartbeat. A/S is next month
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected?
I have done nothing! I wanted to wait to buy stuff until all the good sales with the holidays.
16 weeks- Avocado!
How are you feeling?

Any new pregnancy symptoms?
No, just dying to feel this baby move
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing?
October 29th, we will find out the sex!!
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected?
We have put an offer in on a 3 bedroom house since our apartment is to small for a new baby and picked up little things here and there like wipes and blankets! Feeling pretty on top of things
How are you feeling? Feeling good. No symptoms really.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Nope.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? Not until late october.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO?
I haven't done anything nor bought anything. I w as told it was a girl 2 weeks ago but I'm still in disbelief. I want to wait for one more ultrasound confirmation before buying stuff.
How far along are you/fruit? Week 17: Onion/ Pomegranate<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
How are you feeling? Still feeling like I don’t hate this whole pregnancy thing. I did realize that I probably shouldn’t roll on my stomach anymore, time to loosen the belt and take it easy on the belly. I love that I’m sleeping through the night and not having to get up to go pee every 2 hours, YIPPIE!
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Other than some lower back pain, oober sensitive nipples and heat sensitivity headaches nothing new to report.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? We have an appointment this Friday. OMG I can’t freaking wait for it to get here already. Dr. said we should be able to find out the sex and we are itching to find out.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? I feel like I’m right where I need to be. We are installing new carpet in a few weeks and then we can really start getting the nursery in order. We have been waiting to find out the sex before we begin the decorating. So after Friday I’m hoping I can go full force into baby mode. I have already registered for everything not sex related, so really I feel like I’m right on target. However, it is my first so who knows if this feeling will change the closer I get.
How are you feeling? Little tired, but okay overall.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? I puked yesterday after 2 weeks of no morning sickness. I've been having headaches the past few days. Also I think my boobs grew again, my bra is fitting too small again. I'm a second time mom and I'm sure I've been feeling the baby move a little!
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? I have my 16 week checkup next Thursday. I think it'll be the normal appointment but also I'll be seeing the diabetes doctor to discuss my levels. Crossing my fingers they're good enough and I won't need medication or insulin.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? I'm working on crocheting a blanket still, but that's all I've done so far. Will do more after my anatomy scan and we find out if we are having a boy or girl.

How are you feeling? Not great. On top of still having m/s and backaches, I caught DD's cold.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Nothing new this week.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? Anatomy scan tomorrow. I'm really nervous but hoping we get to see a healthy baby.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? Nothing besides trying to prep DD for a new baby and being a big sister. We have most of what we need except for clothes since I donated most of DD's. We did realize that we're going to get a new crib because while sturdy and in good condition, DD's crib is really bulky and we need a smaller one since they'll be sharing rooms. Other than that, I want to get an Ergo and a RNP, and we'll be all set.

How far along are you/fruit? 18 weeks / sweet potato
How are you feeling? Still tired, but good
Any new pregnancy symptoms?
Last night I saw the bean kicking and stretching to where it was visible from the outside! I couldn't believe it. I was lying down and I guess we were both in the right position. Totally surprised bc I have been feeling movement for several weeks but I hadnt felt any movement in 4-5 days and was getting a little worried.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? Trying to patiently wait for my A/S. 2 more weeks
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected?
I haven't done anything! Granted, the good part about being a STM with an 18 month old is that we dont need to buy hardly any stuff. Just a double stroller and some clothes if it's a boy. I do however need to pack up all of DDs too small clothes, and organize her closet (we have bins and bins of hand me down clothes that I need to pull out and get ready for fall). Right now all that crap is in what will be the baby's room. It's buggin me!
How are you feeling? Near constant headaches
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Headaches and backaches, balance has changed so almost fell down the stairs over the weekend, now approaching those with a lot more caution.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? Had my elective U?S this weekend, got to see the baby and feel her move and be able to associate that with what I saw her do onscreen, was great! (btw yes officially having a girl!) My in-laws were able to join us and loved it.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected?
Nowhere near on top of things, but we've cleaned our garage so we can finish clearing out the nursery. I bought a bookshelf and a side table to set next to the glider, next is to replace the fan and light in the nursery and paint the furniture in the room. We bought her first onesies and are starting to look into child proofing oh and baby buds so DH and her can listen to music together while I pass out on the couch.

How are you feeling? better then i have been.... yet worse at the same time.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Uncontrollable heartburn. sometimes i wake up and can barely breath cause it hurts so bad
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? I get to find out the gender on Thursday morning so i'm really excited about that!
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? We are living with my husbands parents right now so not too much. we bought a crib, car seat ( cause they were both insanely on sale) and was given like 5 trash bags of clothes from my sisters friends. ohh and we bought a rocker, but only cause we found a pottery barn rocker on sale for 350$ and i just couldn't pass that up! time seems to be going by super slow actually. i just want it to speed up! I'm so excited to not be pregnant anymore.
How are you feeling? Tired more than anything, but I did have a touch of nausea this morning. Oh and I am constantly hungry.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? Constant hunger
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? I have an elective ultrasound to figure out the sexes on Friday, I have my OB appt on the 9th to go over bloodwork and just a normal check up, and the perinatologist is supposed to be calling me to set up an appt for a very detailed u/s where they will check how many sacs, how many placentas, to see of babies are fraternal or identical, and make sure that they are growing at the same pace.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? I feel like I am behind. We did start our target baby registry on Saturday though. I really need to get on the daycare thing or figure out what I am doing next year with work.
Happy Mondays, Mamas!
How far along are you/fruit? 15 weeks, orange
Got a nice spurt of energy this weekend!
How are you feeling? Not too bad at all.
Any new pregnancy symptoms? I think I maybe felt some movement. It was after I went to the bathroom at night and felt strange little snaps or pops inside when I laid back down in bed. But I'm a FTM, not really sure quite yet.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing? 16 week appt. next week. I think its just a quick Doppler listen and urine sample. We'll also be going over the results of our NT scan.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected? I feel drastically behind! No registry...no nursery started.......no childcare plans yet....only one name for LO picked out (girl name). I've always been a procrastinator but I need to get it on it. In only 5 more weeks, we'll be half way done!
16 weeks/avocado
How are you feeling?
Feeling okay...still have some morning sickness.
Any new pregnancy symptoms?
Hip pain and lower back pain. I think I need one of those snoogles.
Any upcoming appointments? What will they be doing?
I have my third 3 hr glucose test on Wednesday. My next regular appt is on the 13th.
GTKY: What have you done to get ready for this LO? Are you on top of things are or are you drastically behind and feel like the day is approaching faster than you expected?
I bought the crib, bedding, and stroller. I've been reading up on some stuff to get ready but have a long way to go. I plan on registering soon.
How far along/fruit: 17 weeks, onion (blech)
How I'm feeling: A bit better. Dizzy spells are not as frequent, but I already feel really squished inside and it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's just going to get a lot worse! Eating is hard because I feel like there's no room.
New pregnancy symptoms: See above, plus I can feel a "tightening" sensation in my pelvis now and then. Early Braxton Hicks? I dunno.
Upcoming appointments: Still waiting for the anatomy scan October 15th, but I'll be calling at the end of the week to find out the results of the genetic screening.
Readiness for the baby: Pretty on track, but I'll feel better when the nursery's prepared and we've selected our big ticket items (stroller, car seat, etc.). We've been lucky to receive a lot of hand-me-downs and early gifts, so our list is shrinking.
