GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food?
Re: Friday Ticker Change
HALF WAY THERE!
Symptoms/cravings- hip and back pain, leg cramps, trouble sleeping. Craving french fries, apple cider, soup of any kind, and anything cheesy.
Rants/raves- SUPER stoked to reach the half way point! Other than that, everything is pretty calm.
Dr. appointments- next week Friday.
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food?
Weird, but steamed rice with butter, parsley, and a little garlic powder, made with chicken broth instead of water. I make it all the time.
I love almost all hearty soups. Also, anything wholesome- cassarolls, chicken fried chicken with some country gravy, stuffing..... I think I just want Thanksgiving to be everyday!
Symptoms/cravings- No symptoms... "boring" pregnancy compared to DD. I'll take it though! -- No true cravings yet but I take it upon myself to eat anything and everything that's horrible for me.
Rants/raves- I've been sick since Monday and cannot get rid of this darn cough! My throat is killing me! Go figure I got the flu shot early last week... always happens like that!!!
Dr. appointments- 12th for a.s.
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food?- I'm a meat and potatoes kind of gal! Steak, medium rare, with sauteed mushrooms and garlic, baked potato, butter and sour cream, with either steamed asparagus, fresh green beans, or broccoli. Perfect meal! 8->
Symptoms/cravings- things have settled down a lot this week. Only minimal gagging and some stiffness and soreness in my hips.
Rants/raves- my husband and I have been trying to figure out what to do as a little babymoon get away. We can't really take any time off work in October so our long weekend turned into just Friday-Sunday and we just couldn't decide where to go. All the nice hotels are SO expensive and I don't want to stay somewhere with "just a room" if it's supposed to be special. (I know that's dumb). So we finally decided we are going to take a 3 hour drive to New Haven CT to go to ikea for nursery furniture and only spend 1 night so the other night saved not in a hotel we can buy furniture with. I'm very happy with the compromise!
Dr. appointments- Anatomy scan next Friday- 20 weeks on the day!
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? Chocolate and mac and cheese but not together

Weeks/fruit- 21/pomegranate
Symptoms/cravings- So much peeing; I got up 7 or 8 times last night! This little guy needs to move on up off my bladder ASAP. Still good other than that, and no cravings.
Rants/raves- I have 5 days off in a row this week (yay!) but I'm super disappointed in myself for not taking advantage of them and cleaning the house top to bottom like I planned!
Dr. appointments- Nothing until next Monday, which is just a quick check, but at least I'll hear the heartbeat again!
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? Soup, pickles, or pasta can always make my day better! Everyone laughs when I say I've been eating half a jar of pickles a day while pregnant...but I've done that since I was about 12!
Symptoms/cravings- leg cramps, waking up a few times in the middle of the night, hungry all the time
Rants/raves- I posted on the Monday ticker change, but went to a/s on Wednesday and baby girl was measuring a few days ahead so that means we're at the halfway point today!!
Dr. appointments- next appt with ob/gyn is on 10/11
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? I love sushi and steak! I can't wait to have my raw rood and medium rare steak in a few months! :P
Symptoms/cravings- Hip pain, difficulty sleeping on either side because my legs start to cramp. I'm still congested and although the nausea has passed I still have times when I feel like the meal that I ate is just sitting instead of digesting lol It is soooooo uncomfortable and I have found myself wanting to make myself throw it up just so that I don't have to feel it./ Still not really having cravings, I just eat what I think won't make me feel nauseous and gross.
Rants/raves- I have really been having an issue with fried foods lately. I can't seem to stand the smell or the greasiness of it. I know that this is a good thing since it's not good for me anyway but the fair is here and I want FRIED EVERYTHING! The fried foods are the best part of the fair, but I almost feel like there's no point in going if I'm going to feel like crap after eating that jalapeno corn dog and fried red velvet oreo
Rave: I had a job interview yesterday for a position that I feel is perfect for me and I'm perfect for it...I just hope that they feel the same. Waiting to hear back is so stressful but I'm trying to keep the faith. I mean, I technically didn't apply for this position, I applied for another that they had just filled. So I figure if they sought me out to interview for this new position they must have been quite interested, right? Well, anyways your prayers and/or positive vibes would be so appreciated right now.
Dr. appointments- Next appt w/ ob/gyn is 10/7. I'm excited to see how our little man is growing and developing!
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? My comfort food is definitely hot wings (I love buffalo wild wings), which I haven't been able to eat due to the whole fried food aversion. However, I did make some of my own this week, which I baked, and just bought my favorite sauces from BWW and they were pretty good.
Symptoms/cravings- it seems my appetite is coming back. Eating more than I have all pregnancy. Just trying to be cautious about eating to much.
Rants/raves- rant is that I am not sleeping well at all! I toss and turn! I have even taken a Benadryl and it hasn't helped much.
Rave- I think we have finally figured out baby girls name
Dr. appointments- won't see my doctor for another 2 weeks. At this visit she will give me orders for glucose testing and said I would probably start an iron supplement.
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food?
- peanut butter sandwiches lately! But living in Louisiana I must say chicken and dumplings, or gumbo is my favorite!

February 2016
Symptoms/cravings- I've started having some random braxton hicks here and there, along with growing pains, hip pain, back ache, by the end of the day my feet are swollen. Haven't been sleeping good this past week either!
No cravings lately, fountain diet coke sometimes
Rants/raves-
Our dogs were sick the other night, tuesday night i believe it was. It was so gross. It was just 1 dog but we couldn't figure out which dog it was. Took them to the vet and nothing is wrong with them but he gave us antibiotics and dia medicine for them. So that's better.
I'm a little sad that I have an anterior placenta so I can't feel baby girl kick, sometimes I feel it but it's still just light taps.
We do have a name picked out, hopefully we don't change our mind and stick with it!
Dr. appointments- not until the 22nd, feels like forever away.
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food?
CARBS.
Symptoms/cravings- No symptoms! Other than the big belly and kicks, I feel completely normal. I haven't had any specific cravings lately.
Rants/raves- I'm sick of people who have no idea what they're talking about telling me that I look small. Maybe they mean it as a compliment, but it makes me paranoid that my boy isn't growing enough. My A/S on Tuesday confirmed that all is well and my doctor is good with where we're at, so I gotta just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Dr. appointments- A/S was awesome and we have a healthy baby boy on the way! They are going to monitor my placenta, which is currently a bit closer to my cervix than they would like, but for now it's okay.
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? - Anything potato!
Symptoms/cravings- still RLP and constipation but not much else. I'm still craving all food but this past week has been jelly. I have been eating it on everything
Rants/raves- I brought in cupcakes with pink frosting to announce to my co-workers that it's a girl. They were all so excited so that just added to my excitement from yesterday
Dr. appointments- anatomy scan was yesterday! Found out we're having a girl and she's doing great (even measuring a day ahead!)
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? My favorite food ever is my mom's mashed potatoes but any carbs are my friend
Symptoms/cravings- hip pain and some mild cramping..I think that's about it!
Rants/raves- had our a/s on Thursday which was awesome! Little man was very active..and I thought I had been feeling him move around for the last week or so, but wasn't sure until the ultrasound when I watched him and felt it...soooo awesome
Dr. appointments- next one with ob is the 12th
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? Mac and cheese or casserole type things, I guess...everything is a comfort food lol
Symptoms/cravings-nothing to report
Rants/raves-I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes again,so that sucks.
Dr. appointments-nothing until a/s on 10/12
GTKY- What is your go-to "comfort food"? Or Favorite food? Beef stew this time of year but my favorite food is crab legs with butter. Yum!
