March 2016 January Siggy: Pregnant Lady Problems
Re: Weekly Ticker Change Check-In (10/19)
What's new with baby?: working on 5 senses, getting that gross vernix stuff
Appointments?: one week from today
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: nope
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: exhausted, RLP . . . Rant: I didn't feel the baby move for like 15 hours and was starting to freak out. I hate this in-between time when I feel movement consistently enough that I worry if I don't feel it in a while, but not often enough that I can do kick-counts or anything.
Questions?:
GTKY: What movie could you watch over and over without getting sick of it? Either "You've Got Mail" or "The Princess Bride"
What's new with baby?: Ovia informed me that my future grandkids are all settled in to LO's ovaries if she is a girl. Scary.
Appointments?: Next one is scheduled 11/11 (originally 10/28 and they pushed to back) butttt I am going to call today to see if it's possible to move it back up. NBD if it isn't though.
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: Did some major Pinteresting and settled on a nursery theme for both a boy and a girl. Plan to refinish a buffet table (not baby related, but DH insists I finish this craft before starting others lol) this week and maybe put the second coat up in the nursery.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I've been getting pretty bad headaches regularly. I know Tylenol is on the ok list, but I am trying not to pop 'em like they're candy. Now I am craving candy...
Questions?: Where does one buy essential oils? I would like to try something for the headaches I've been having.
GTKY: What movie could you watch over and over without getting sick of it? I also could do The Princess Bride over and over and over. I think it's my number 1 favorite movie ever. I am also still pretty obsessed with Harry Potter and could pop any of those Blu-Rays in at any time. Also I don't even know why, but I could watch She's All That pretty frequently. I legit thought that all high school dances had choreographed numbers so imagine my disappointment when I realized that wasn't the case...

Team (pink/blue/surprise):
We find out on 27th.
What's new with baby?:
Developing that coat of vernix so he doesn't pickle inside of me.
Appointments?:
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?:
nope, not really. I talk the talk, but have yet to walk the walk.... meaning I've browsed the baby aisles thinking I'll buy something, but honestly have yet to do it.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings:
Getting comfy in bed is almost impossible lately. And me trying not to sleep on my back is almost inevitable.
Questions?:
Has anyone every used one of those co-sleeper bassinets? Did you like them, and was it worth It? I've been thinking of getting one as our Lil one will be sleeping in our room for the first couple months, plus I'll be breastfeeding.
GTKY: What movie could you watch over and over without getting sick of it?
The Family Stone, or Interview With A Vampire. Weird mix I know. But I love them
What's new with baby?: Baby B now has fingerprints of his/her own
Appointments?: 10/29
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: not really. I remember by this time with DS I had cleaned out the room and the crib was ordered. I've looked at nursery ideas but haven't really decided. I keep telling myself its because both sets of in laws have invited themselves for the holidays and we need the guest room for them so I'll start in January. Baby will sleep in our room at first so I'm not too concerned yet.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: the end of last week the RLP was a lot better but I'm still sleeping poorly and now I've been over taken with this feeling of dread, like baby isn't healthy or something else is wrong so that hasn't helped my sleep either.
Questions?:

Questions?: I know this is too early to start counting kicks, but has anyone found a good app for that? (And preferably free!) Looking ahead. I know very well I can count on my own...just thought it would be fun to use some apps. I didn't have all this fun stuff with my first two pregnancies!

I adore Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Much Ado About Nothing (and yes, I'm on the Princess Bride train!)...but I'm going to have to pull the wild card and say 50 First Dates.

Questions?: has anyone else been swelling this early? i had a lot of water retention with my son and really blew up at the end (kankles and everything) but i don't remember that happening until about 30 weeks. i've been swelling all week and it's making me a touch nervous.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: Sleep the ever elusive sleep, please return to me before baby is born
Questions?: Are we there yet?
GTKY: What movie could you watch over and over without getting sick of it? Love Actually and Princess Bride off the top of my head (my wedding was Princess Bride theme
What's new with baby?: Almost 1 full pound of baby in there! baby is making meconium...ew lol. Baby is kicking up a storm inside, and I'm beginning to feel them from the outside
Appointments?: Still going every week for my injection. My follow-up a/s is scheduled for 11/11, with an injection/dr appointment immediately after. Hoping things look better, and the doctor should have a "wet read" in time for my appointment
Are you doing anything new to prepare for baby?: We've been buying little things here and there, and I see the grandparents are beginning to get excited too. We went to Walmart with my mom last night and she ran into the baby girl Christmas dresses, looked at me and said, "It better be a girl". Kind of redundant coming from the woman who thinks I don't need to know the sex and laughed in my face when baby's legs were crossed.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Cravings: I would still like to punch my mom. She is irritating the ever loving eff out of me! She is constantly criticizing my weight/size, and mentions everything I put in my mouth is going to give me gestational diabetes. Just the other night I was at her house, eating grapes- when my kid gave me 2 skittles from the gumball machine (my mom has one she fills with skittles and has a basket of change next to it so DD can get skittles when she wants). Mom immediately snapped to and told me I can't have them. Then my child went for the oreos, grabbed out 3 and gave me 1. My mom then told her to quit trying to give me junk because with all that sugar I'm going to get gestational diabetes. I didn't have it with my first, my tests are all coming back fine at the doctors, she needs to shut her mouth. This is the same woman who reminds me that I shouldn't be commenting on my own daughter's chubbiness (which I DON'T, until she complains her pants don't fit or she needs new undies etc- because she doesn't understand why yet when we try to get her out of the house to play/exercise/walk etc, she will have no part of it) because it will give her a complex, yet everything I put to my mouth is going to make me too fat and have a sick baby.
Questions?: none
GTKY: What movie could you watch over and over without getting sick of it? Anything with Johnny Depp in it- he is yummy and makes me melt like butter! Mmmm.... I like the older men lol!
