**Tuesday Ticker Change**

in September 2015 Moms
This post is for people who's change day is Tuesday. (That's for anyone due September 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th.)



Copy and paste the following with your own answers.

Week/Fruit: Baby's here! 2 weeks old

Symptoms: soooo tired

Cravings/Aversions: cookies

Gender? Girl, Lucy Grace

GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? I'm a teacher and am not going back until after Christmas, which is costly, but worth it. I'm so lucky that my husband can take off 3 1/2 weeks. It's been essential having another grown up here to deal with both girls while we're all still adjusting.

    Week/Fruit: 40/Jackfruit

    Symptoms: tired, sore, and super grouchy. Especially today-had an appointment(due date is today) and there's no change! No more thinning and absolutely no dialating. Boo! Talking about induction next week.

    Cravings/Aversions: none

    Gender? Adalynne Jane

    GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? Im a hairstylist and will be going back beginning of November. I just plan on spending as much time with her as I can. As for my hubby- he's a farmer so doesn't take a leave but plans on shortening his hours as much as he can (fruit and vegetable farmer= busy busy time!) to come home and be with our baby girl.

    Week/Fruit: 37 weeks/Wintermelon

    Symptoms: Horrible pelvic pain, crankiness, and lack of patience for stupidity!

    Cravings/Aversions: Ice and cheese

    Gender? Boy, Brady Sullivan

    GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? I'm a SAHM with our 20mo so that doesn't really apply to me. However, my hubby is taking a week off when Brady is born and my sister is taking my toddler to her house so I can heal and adjust. Then when the hubs goes back to work, she's going to come stay a week with us so I can adjust to being a mommy of 2! It's a frightening thought sometimes.

    Week/fruit: 39 watermelons

    Symptoms: I feel great - unfortunately! I was far more miserable at the end with my first. I've had mild contractions here and there for almost two weeks now. I do have to say despite experiencing very little discomfort at this point I'm hoping tomorrow's appointment proves that all the activity I've been feeling has been doing something.

    Cravings: A meal I didn't have to prepare and sweets

    Gender: boy, Baron Michael

    GTKY: As of today I started working from home until baby arrives. Once he's here I get 12 weeks of paid leave (thanks to tenure!). As for my husband, he started a new job today so I'm not really sure. This first week would be better because he doesn't have a lot going on beside getting acclimated, finishing some paperwork and getting his gear. Next week is when all the big wigs come in town to start his training. DS1 will continue going to daycare while I'm on leave.

    @eggymcmuffin my kids are also going to be 20/21 months apart! I never thought I'd have 2u2, but with the way that my company's maternity policy works this was our best option.

    Week/Fruit: 38 weeks/ Pumpkin

    Symptoms: Tired, random contractions, lost my mucus plug today. Had my OB appointment today and he said a little over 2 cm and he can feel baby's head! I'll take anything that shows he's coming soon! Also, I had my son 3 days after I lost my plug last time so I am hopeful :)

    Cravings/Aversions: Everything

    Gender? Boy, Asher Daniel

    GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? I am taking the full 12 weeks under FMLA but I won't be getting paid the whole time. I don't have enough leave, but we've been able to save up some money so it should all work out. DH just graduated so he is still looking for a job. It's good and bad. I'll get a lot of help but it's stressful with only one of us bringing in money. He has a sub job at a company but it's only a few hours a week. We'll figure things out and I am sure that we have enough put away but it's killing the planner in me because there are so many situations and I can't have a solution for each one. AH! I am just ready for my LO to get here.

    Week/Fruit: 37 Weeks/wintermelon

    Symptoms: uncomfortable, intensifying braxton hicks, whiny impatience

    Cravings/Aversions: ice cream, gatorade, alfredo sauce

    Gender? Girl, Florence Anne

    GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? I'm a SAHM so I don't really get any leave.  I teach violin but only have one student right now and will probably take 2 weeks off from that.  DH put in FMLA paperwork but I do not know yet how long he will take off.  Probably not more than a week.  His mom doesn't work so if I find myself needing help longer than that, I can call her (fingers crossed that I don't need help.  I love my MIL but my in-laws are really bad about going away at a good time)

    Week/Fruit: 40/Jackfruit

    Symptoms: super tired, not sleeping at night, sweating, grouchy, i cried today. Contractions come a lot but aren't as productive. Drs appointment today, cervix is too high to induce. I thought I would be induced tomorrow so after working myself up to the idea it is a big let down.

    Cravings/Aversions: none I have actually lost 2 lbs since last Thursday

    Gender? He is my little man, Aiden Christopher

    GTKY: What are your plans for maternity leave? Does your SO get to take any leave? I'm on leave now planning on going back in November...if there is still a spot, legally there is, but I feel like I've been pushed out of a job. My boss promoted two people to two different positions I have been waiting for the last 2 years after I left for maternity leave, so since I didn't have the job beforehand he legally didnt do anything wrong just morally, as I was in line for either position. My husband only gets 5 days off.
