Re: weekly ticker-change check-in (10/12)
What's new with baby?: If it's a girl, she has her uterus and fallopian tubes by now. Crazy.
Appointments?: This is actually the longest I've gone without an appointment thanks to my SCH. Next one is the a/s on the 26th.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Been searching for a cheap maternity coat. No luck so far.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Feeling pretty good lately. The sciatic pain flared up again today. Hoping it's short-lived. Starting to feel a lot of movement and loving it!
Questions?:
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Misused apostrophes. I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but it really annoys me when people use apostrophes in plural words, or omit them in possessive words.
Appointments?: none this week - looking forward to 10/27
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: not currently. well, maybe trying to be better with meal planning?
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: continuing the headache trend. more wiggles, but nothing consistent. craving everything i see an advert for, chinese
Questions?: is anyone not getting the second trimester energy? i feel so unmotivated, and i am frustrated with myself bc of it!
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? line-jumpers! people who cut in line (or when driving and can't just take turns merging at the lane closure like a zipper, or they cut you off). nothing like waiting in line for 15 minutes (or even just 2!) to finally be the next person and then someone just walks up and gets in front of you. really makes my blood boil! and then ignoring you when you address it YARRR!
also with you on the grammar @mrspepper05 - my dad was an english professor and constantly corrected everything. i am far from perfect, but i hear his voice when i read/listen to anything and things like pronoun-antecedent disagreement and not using the possessive before a gerund still make me a bit twitchy

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I'm surprisingly feeling pretty good (about time). Hopefully it sticks!
Questions?: none
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Why can't I think of anything better than I hate when dh finishes a roll of toilet paper and either doesn't change it, gets a new roll out only to set it on the tank of the toilet not the spot it belongs, or he changes it but puts it on the wrong way?! I know I have more and they are probably bigger than this, but this is the best I've got right now.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Leg/calf cramps have struck with a vengeance at night, and now my hip is hurting when I sleep, too. A pillow between my legs doesn't seem to be helping.

Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Started reading some new baby books.

Appointments?: My next appointment is on 10/28 and it's my anatomy scan.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Making some preparations for the nursery.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I've been trying to cut out my Diclegis, but I've been getting nauseated at night when I don't take it, so I'm back on it. Which sucks. Oh well. My boobs are still killing me, I'm still tired a lot. I've been getting swollen feet/legs at the end of the day, which is uncomfortable. And a few more that just really, really suck.
Questions?: Nothing this week.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Oh man. There are many. I hate when people pull up to a stop light/stop sign, but stop really far back and then sloooooowly pull forward until the light changes. I hate when I've spent the day cooking and cleaning the kitchen and it's finally perfectly sparkling clean and my husband walks in and puts a dirty cup in the sink. Not the dishwasher. The sink. It's beyond frustrating. Anyway, I think two is enough.
Appointments?: My next appointment is on 10/29, it's my anatomy scan!
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: I started a registry, just for us.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I've been suffering from terrible RLP. I can't hardly roll over or stand up without being in horrible pain. I'm going to call my dr and ask what I can do besides Tylenol for the pain.
Questions?: Any recommendations to help with RLP??
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? People who say they are going to do something but then just before the event say they can't..GGRR. Sorry I'm an event planner and have a festival this weekend and activities are dropping off the schedule right and left because people just don't want to put forth the effort any more.
March '16 February Siggy challenge- After Pregnancy hopes
What's new with baby?: Apparently baby is kicking up a storm but I still haven't felt anything.
Appointments?: I have an appointment tomorrow and a/s is two weeks after that.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: My mom visited this weekend and I could tell she was ready to spend some major money but I am just not willing to pay so much for maternity clothes that I don't even really like. So she settled for buying some plain white long-sleeved onesies haha. (For baby not me...)
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Nothing really pregnancy related. Just trying to get over a nasty little 2 day head cold. Wishing I was back in bed instead of at work today
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Hmmm I have a lot.....I work with words so all things grammar-related really can grind my gears - ESPECIALLY when I make some fast-typing mistakes. People that text back "K" or something similar. Hello, that is IMPLIED. Also when people around me make personal phone calls at work. My office is set up in a pretty open environment and my supervisor sits right next to me and is CONSTANTLY making personal calls and a lot of them involve her getting heated. This is a relatively new one lol. So many more but so little time to type it
Me: 29 DH: 31
Married 10/13/12
TTC Since 8/2016
Team: Will hopefully find out tomorrow whether this is boy #3 or girl #1!
What's new with baby?: size of a mango! 8.5 oz and only 6 inches? The size of my belly begs to differ. Starting to feel him or her move more and more. Thank goodness!
Appointments?: Midwife appointment tomorrow as well as anatomy scan.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Just picked up a zillion cloth diapers I'd ordered from a co-op. I think we are set for diapers. Now just need clothes and a million other things!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I never ever had this problem with my first two pregnancies...I pee a little whenever I sneeze!! I'd heard of this but never thought it would happen to me!! I'd laugh if it wasn't so annoying! (Especially since I have a cold at the moment!)
Questions?: Braxton Hicks, anyone? Too early? I feel a lot of tightness, no pain though, particularly after I've exercised or just came back from a long walk. Anybody else experiencing BH contractions this early? I never had them with previous pregnancies.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? I completely agree with grammar, especially apostrophes. But my #1 pet peeve is talking about crummy connections over FaceTime/Skype/phone calls. Yes, the connection sucked. Can we move on and not re-hash why the call failed, how we couldn't hear each other, why that was frustrating... I feel like half the conversation is dedicated to that, and it makes me want to tear my hair out!!
What's new with baby?: His kicking is starting to feel more like tapping.
Appointments?: Just my 18 week US this morning.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Still setting up his room. I might need to buy a belly band soon.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Acne is clearing up. I am loving my new body!
Questions?: None.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? People reading over my shoulder, people who get very close to you to talk (I mean right in your personal space!) People who make assumptions about another person based on one fact . Pretty much anything my boss does (he does all three every day).
What's new with baby?: Found out we are team blue today. Third time's a charm, right? Maybe I'll get it right this time
Appointments?: Nov 10
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Not really. Since we're BTDT, I feel like I can relax almost instead of "worrying" about a different sex.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Sciatic nerve is starting to flare up. Hips are killing me. Starting to get bad BH contractions. Overall this pregnancy is textbook and no complications so I'm blessed.
Questions?: Ladies who have had the same sex but completely different seasons, did you buy a whole new wardrobe or just stay with the basics - like PJs, onesies? I'm used to summer babies, but this is late winter/early spring.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Bad spelling/grammar.

Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Still working on the nursery, finally have everything cleared out. Just waiting to find out if we are having a boy or girl then going to buy paint to get the room painted!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Craving burgers like crazy, Chinese food and ice cream! I haven't really been experiencing many symptoms lately but I am still working on trying to keep my blood pressure down!
Questions?: Did anyone announce to their families in a fun way after finding out what you were having? We want to do something fun but nothing that is over the top.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? I know it's a little one but I really hate when people use the microwave and pull their food out before the timer goes off and then leave the remaining time on the screen. I don't know why but it's bothered me ever since I was little.
March 2016 siggy: babies - expectation vs reality
Brian's Whovian wife (5/'09)
Autism mama!
Team (pink/blue/surprise): Finding out on the 21st, can't wait!
What's new with baby?: Working on those 5 senses!
Appointments?: Had a regular checkup yesterday, heartbeat sounded good and I'm really proud of myself for keeping the weight gain in check.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Does caving in to buying maternity jeans count?
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: At my appointment yesterday the OB (not my regular) was all upset that I had pushed back my A/S a week, because evidently the 2nd half of my blood work absolutely has to be done before I am 20 weeks, and my appointment is the same day that I hit that mark. Its all been incredibly frustrating and I've been told different things by different people and I'm annoyed that I have to take more time off of work just to get blood work done. I wish I only had to work 9-4 instead of from 8-5.
Questions?: None today.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Whenever someone talks or acts in a way that makes it blatantly obvious they haven't been listening to you. It especially drives me crazy at work when I am giving directions and I get ignored. If you pay attention when I tell you what to do, you won't have to do it twice!!
Size: Sweet Potato
Team (pink/blue/surprise): I'm having a girl according to my DNA test my anatomy scan isn't until the 30th of October.
What's new with baby? Yawning, hiccuping, sucking and swallowing.
Appointments?: October 30th
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Nothing really.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: C-section scar hurts from the stretching sneezing has been the worst I feel like I'm going to split open.
Questions?: None
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? People that scrape their utensils on the plate it makes me want to turn into the Hulk. (Hulk Smash)
Team (pink/blue/surprise): anatomy scan is Monday so DH can come since he has off work. I'm so freaking out.
What's new with baby?: moving moving moving. Even had some sudden pressure on my bladder while driving yesterday. Preview of things to come.
Appointments?: had an appointment yesterday and heard a super strong heartbeat. Could even hear the different valves functioning. Anatomy scan is Monday. I'm so anxious. Suspense kills me
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: nope other than buying clothes for my own growth. I refuse to buy a winter coat.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: nothing new. Happy for less headaches!
Questions?: I wonder what people miss most about being pregnant ( although maybe that's a GTKY for another week) I miss cuddling comfortably without my belly in the way
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Ugh so many. Lately it people who are paying for my advice but don't listen and then blame me but above all its probably people telling me what I should and shouldn't do. I will make my own decisions thank you. One of the biggest things I'm dreading about being bigger is random comments in public. Hiding it for as long as possible.
Weeks/Size: 20 weeks 1 day Size of a banana
Team (pink/blue/surprise): BLUE. Had my anatomy scan today!
What's new with baby?: He is so active! I feel him constantly now. Haven't had a chance to read the new developments for this week but he weighs 15 ounces now!
Appointments?: Had an ultrasound today, next appointment is in three weeks.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Now that I know the gender, it's time to shop!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings:
Heartburn! Keeps me up at night. It's the worst. Rant, my emotions have been all over the place lately. Cravings are taming down a bit. But I have been wanting McDonalds fries all day.
Questions?: Anyone recommend something OTC for heartburn? Never experienced it before getting pregnant. I may call my doctor but I don't know that she'll call anything in for me without seeing me. Plus, I need something NOW. Lol.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Getting behind someone in morning traffic going UNDER the speed limit with no one in front of them.. I don't get it.
What's new with baby?: Getting hairy
Appointments?: November 11th
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Not yet, I did go to Baby's R Us and look around
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Been more crampy lately :-\
Questions?: Nothing Much
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? People chewing near me. Ugh.
DD1 - BFP 7/23/15 (EDD 3/31/16). "We believe in you rainbow" DOB 4/2/16
DD2 - BFP 2/9/18 (EDD 10/19/18). "Grow baby grow!" DOB 10/24/18
BFP 11/16/20 (EDD 7/31/21). "Round 3 FIGHT!"
Weeks/Size: 20 weeks! Half way there
Baby is the size of a banana.
What's new with baby?: Unfortunately we found out baby is transverse due to a low-lying placenta. We go back for another ultrasound on 11/11 to see if the placenta has moved and baby has flipped. If not I will need a c-section and I am TERRIFIED of having one!
Appointments?: My 20 week appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday 10/20, along with my next injection.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?:Can't really do anything at this point. Baby refuses to show its parts so we can't go buy anything in terms of clothes- I know I've said it a million times already but there is absolutely NOTHING here in stores for neutral clothing (or anything for that matter)!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings:My tummy is getting hard on top, even though baby is still at my belly button. It feels kinda weird
Questions?: None
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? I hate the slow drivers, especially when the a-holes speed up on dotted lines so I can't pass them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
Weeks/Size: 18 weeks - Sweet Potato!
Team (pink/blue/surprise): SURPRISE!

Appointments?: I had an appointment this morning- Healthy heartbeat of 148! Scheduled my anatomy scan for Nov. 2.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: not this week
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Only threw up once this week! I call that a success!
Questions?: none
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Drivers who don't use blinkers!!
Team (pink/blue/surprise): Green! So hard to hold strong on this one but we can't wait for that moment and sharing the news with family.
What's new with baby?: oh I don't know....I haven't read much lately.
Appointments?: Anatomy scan next Tuesday.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Holding off another month or so to do the closet organization since the rest of the nursery is done. Planning on an adjustable set from Home Depot. Will start on the wood accent wall soon.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Still pretty normal. Can't sleep very well anymore but I'm thankful everything else has been great. I feel like a normal person growing a big belly for no reason.
Questions?:
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Bad drivers. Left lane campers, people who use the carpool lane "just because they can" yet only go 60mph when they could use the slow lane at that same speed.....and all the looky loos who gawk at a collision and cause traffic backups. JUST DRIVE!!
Team (pink/blue/surprise): We will find out in a week!
What's new with baby?: Tiny movement feelings. I wish I could constantly feel the baby
Appointments?: Next Thursday! Both A/S and the doctor's appointment
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Started to learn knitting! Other than that making the shopping list.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Heartburn and trouble sleeping. Besides, I can feel that I'm getting bigger (already heaviest in my life), I can't move as freely as I used to.
Questions?: Not this week
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Agree with PPs. Also, I can't stand people who eat popcorn very LOUDLY in a movie theater.
Team (pink/blue/surprise): Surprise!
What's new with baby?: Baby is looking less alien like and more like a real baby. And baby can hear me now! Poor thing has to listen to me babble all day!
Appointments?: Had one this morning and got to hear baby's heartbeat again. I just LOVE that sound. Anatomy scan is in three weeks!
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Will probably start to plan the nursery now that we got through this last 16 week appointment. I'm starting to finally take a positive look at things and ready to plan! I'll still worry because, well ... that's just me. But, feeling over the moon right now!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Tailbone is still killing me. Ugh.
Questions?: None
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? Agree with the bad driving and also HATE loud chewing. So gross.
Team (pink/blue/surprise): We get to find out in eactly a week (assuming baby cooperates). I can't wait.
What's new with baby?: Baby is growing vernix (hair like stuff) and just getting bigger. Sometimes I think I feel something, but it's never for certain. I envy those of you who feel the babies move already. That was also the thing I missed the most after delivering our first, so I can't wait to feel it again.
Appointments?: We will have the US (anatomy scan) on the 23rd and my next appointment on the 26th.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby? Nothing yet, other than waiting to find out the sex and trying my best to stay very active and eat well most of the time. I say most of the time, cause let's face it, I'm pregnant and sometimes I just want stuff that's not that great. Dark Cherry gelato....yummm.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Even though I don't mind a gelato, I still have a fairly strong aversion to sweet stuff. Especially things like waffles, cookes, pies, chocolate, cereal, and sweet fruit. Yesterday I couldn't figure out what I wanted until I saw it.....the GRAPEFRUIT that I've almost forgotten about. Oh it was the best thing I've had all week. Also, I have some smell aversions still especially to cafeteria smells or kitchen after someone cooked. Other than that, not too much to complain about. Nausea almost all gone, waking up less frequent at night, energy is there. I just wish it wasn't so dark and cold when I have to get up for a run or a walk with the dog these days.
Questions? None for now.
GTKY: I have to agree with the "bad / slow drivers and reckless drivers" comments above. Also, I hate when people don't put things back where they got them from. I love keeping a clean and organized house. I love everything sparkling and shining. So it is often frustrating when others in the house (not the toddler) don't take the same care and misplace mugs, leave stuff on the counter, don't open blinds in the morning, don't clean things thoroughly, etc....(I could go on and on and on). I also get frustrated with people who are dragged around by their dogs from big to tiny. Somehow they think that after saying "no" 12 times, on the 13th is when the dog will suddenly realize that it doesn't want to pull to meet my dog anymore. SMH. That was a lot. Sorry!
What's new with baby?: Baby is moving a lot which is so much fun, DH still cannot feel but he is enjoying talking to baby.
Appointments?: Anatomy scan followed by doctors appointment on Wednesday, the 21st. I am really looking forward to the ultrasound this time not only to see baby but my mom will be attending with DH and this will be her first ultrasound. She came to my last appointment and got all emotional over the doppler so DH and I both agreed she needed to experience an ultrasound.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Crib arrived yesterday so this weekend DH and I will be setting up the crib. Yes I know it is way too early to be doing this but I am just too excited to wait
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I'm experiencing a lot of leg cramping when I get to bed. Once I fall asleep I am fine but it is taking longer to fall asleep due to the leg cramps.
Questions?: None that I can think of.
GTKY: biggest pet peeve? As a teacher I hate being asked questions that I either just stated, verbatim or when a student re-asks a question that was just asked.
