GTKY: When and why did you join TB?
Married 8.5.12
Caleb born 10.9.13
2.0 due 2.1.16
Re: *Monday Ticker Change*
Symptoms: Nothing really. I guess some heartburn.
Appointments: Anatomy scan on Sep 15
Crappy: We didn't have power all weekend (huge wind storm!), it was out for just shy of 36 hours in my neighborhood, so I didn't get any schoolwork done. I have a deadline looming and I'm freaking out a little and planned to get a ton done and couldn't (it's all online).
Happy: Power came back! Finally! Last night around 10. It was a huge relief, we were running a generator intermittently to keep our food cold. So thankful it's back on!
GTKY: I joined TB when I was pregnant with my first just to read baby articles and see the fruit every week. I lurked in my first BMB for months before posting regularly. The rules were a lot different back then and people were way more vicious and BGs/mods didn't care so it was terrifying!
I'm glad I worked up the nerve because now some of the ladies on my old BMB are really close friends.
Symptoms: Just a little cramping, super hungry all the time
Appointments: Two today! First is an OB appt at 9:30 and then a sex reveal at 3:00.... I'll keep you updated
Happy/Crappy: Crappy: Had to go to the ER this weekend because of spotting, cramps, and low back pain, turns out I have bacterial vaginosis and a polyp on my cervix. Was placed on bed rest until my appt this am. But.... Happy: Baby was doing fine!
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? I think around 6 or 7 weeks, I wanted to be part of a community of other moms going through the same changes as me, and it's really helped me out. Especially because I'm a FTM so I have no idea what to expect. I have really enjoyed TB
Symptoms: headaches, tiredness coming back more again
Appointments: nothing til midwife on 22/9 then 20 week scan on 13/10 - so far away!
Happy/Crappy: crappy that school starts tomorrow - no more day time naps or going to the loo whenever I want!
GTKY - I joined around week 6, so reassuring to see what others are going through and realise what symptoms are normal.
EDITED - cos half of it vanished when I clicked done!
Weeks/Fruit: 17 weeks, onion
Symptoms: Trouble sleeping the last few nights, RLP and growing pains, back pain, and my FEET hurt so bad this weekend when I was doing a lot of running around/moving and organizing stuff.
Appointments: Anatomy scan is 9/25
Crappy: I'm at work on my birthday. Boo!
Happy: This is my last week of work before a week-long vacation, and my coworkers are making me feel super loved today- cupcakes, lunch, gift, card signed by everyone. Very sweet!
GTKY: I joined right after my BFP 5/29. Lurked for a while to get information and see what others were going through, then opened an account with a new username a few weeks later, lurked a little more, then started posting. I wasn't sure how involved I would get but I am really enjoying the community and support!
Symptoms: had some brown spotting which started on Friday, none on Saturday, and little on Sunday. Nothing really today and I hope it stays that way forever. Other than that, RLP and cramps here and there, and my body aches when I wake up.
Appointments: This Wednesday - went last Friday for the spotting and following up on Wednesday
Happy/Crappy: meh, it's Monday. ZzzZzz
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? I joined when I found out I was pregnant in February, but had a MMC. I was on The Knot before and I figured why not?
Symptoms: cramping, SI joint and hip pain. It's way too early for this already!
Appointments: two weeks. One month until the a/s.
Happy: we turned DDs car seat around today. She seems happier and it's easier for me to get her in and out.
Crappy: I have SO much cleaning to do today and a long work week.
GTKY: I joined TK 7 or 8 yrs ago when wedding planning, was on TN very sporadically between, then TB 4(?) yrs ago when TTC#1.
Symptoms: felt kind of nauseous this morning but feeling better now and not much else besides constant thirst
Appointments: 16 week check up today went well, got to hear a nice healthy heartbeat. next one is in 3 weeks when we finally do the anatomy scan!
Happy/Crappy: pretty happy, just had a very yummy lunch and am about to read some information i got on my personal birth plan
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? Joined The Knot in 2010 after getting engaged, didn't visit The Bump until I got the BFP
Weeks/Fruit: 14 weeks/Lemon
Crappy: currently my headache is making me feel pretty crappy
Symptoms: Generally I feel pretty good. Today I have been kinda tired (case of the Mondays) and ever since I got home I have a large headache right behind my left eye
Appointments: nothing until my 17 week check on 9/22
Happy/Crappy: Happy this is my last week working extra hours so I will get my day off back starting next week and we got Dilly bars at work today
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? I joined around 10 weeks. I have been using the Ovia pregnancy app and love it, but wanted to have a community of women to gain information from being a FTM.
Symptoms: hangery if I don't get a chance to snack.
Appointments: Friday and then I will scheduled my anatomy scan after.
Happy/Crappy: my oldest DD turned 8 today/ my job is rough and I'm stressed out. Ironically I work for chiropractors who are all about wellness and no stress. Umm I think I missed that in the employee manual.
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? My last pregnancy. I needed some support my H isn't supportive so needed some other way to get it.
Symptoms: Mostly just tired but super glad to finally keep food down.
Appointments: In 2 weeks. (16 week check up)
Happy/Crappy: I have 2 kids that I homeschool and have my own business. I'm probably going to have to put my business on the back burner for a bit. It's exhausting to keep up with everything. (I'm a photographer)
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? I joined around 4 weeks pregnant and I'm mostly a lurker. I joined to find people due the same time I am. (2/29/16-Leap Day)
Symptoms: Headaches and still tired
Appointments: Sept 22nd
Happy/Crappy: Happy: I got 3 chores done today and I still have some energy left! Crappy: I thought I was done with MS, but it showed its ugliness twice this week
GTKY: When and why did you join TB? I joined TB when I was pregnant with my son, but I just lurked last time- trying to be a bit more active this time around.
Weeks/Fruit: 18 weeks, sweet potato
Symptoms: Headache. I had one that lasted 2 weeks. Tylenol and caffeine did nothing.
Appointments: I had my OB visit and an ultrasound. Baby was measuring a few days behind so they asked me to come back in another week and 1/2 to do the ultrasound again. Um, SURE!
Crappy: What I want for this LO does not equal my budget. Need to rein in the spending. Eek.
Happy: My job. I started a new position in early May with the company I've been with forever and I seriously have never loved my job and boss as much as I do now. I might actually feel bad taking 16 weeks out of work. But not that bad...
GTKY: I joined TB when I was pregnant with my first. I lurked for a long time before I actually posted. And a few months after I started posting most of my BMB left for FB.
