Re: Wednesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: nothing much aside from lots of baby movement (though she doesn't kick as strong as her big sister did at this point!)
Rants/Raves/Stories: DH has been super cranky lately, it's making my really annoyed. I feel like I can't do or say anything, good or bad, without getting my head bit off. I thought I was the one who was supposed to be all hormonal...! He picked up a 6 pack coming home last night and I told him he needed a few beers and to get laid with a wink and I got no response. Whatevs, man.
Upcoming Appointments: Nothing until 12/17 for my 24 weeker
Questions: Anyone else knew baby's position? At my a/s I was told she's breech right new, and likely still is add I'm getting ALL the bladder kicks. I know she had so much tinge to move but now I'm all paranoid she won't because big sis was head down from 20 weeks on...
GTKY: Since I jumped the gun on Thanksgiving last week, let's talk Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas song and any special reason? (Or holiday song if you don't celebrate Christmas) Traditional carols it's Silent Night, firstly because it's just beautiful but also because when I was a little kid I sang that with my dad as part of a children's choir that sung with his traveling choir for Christmas. Non-traditional, I have looooooved The Night Before Christmas by Brandon Heath the past few Christmases. So haunting and beautiful.
Symptoms: Sooooo emotional. I can't stand my hubby lately and we have been arguing every week. BLAH. Definitely feel some stretching as baby starts getting bigger. Some cramping. Lots of CM. Some back ache once in awhile.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I can't wait for my work day to be done with today. I already spilled milk all over me in the car, and keep dropping everything . It's only 6:30. JOY. I just have to tell myself keep looking forward. On a more positive note I have finally started to get really really excited to meet this LO! I was excited before, but I think it finally dawned on me after my anatomy scan that we will have another little boy to love! We found out early that we were having a boy, but it was still nice to see him again on the U/S.
Upcoming Appointments: Regular visit on Monday.
Questions: None.
GTKY: Since I jumped the gun on Thanksgiving last week, let's talk Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas song and any special reason? (Or holiday song if you don't celebrate Christmas) I love the song, Where Are You Christmas. It's so beautiful!
Symptoms: migraines that are lasting for days. Terrible. But also lots of movement which I love.
Rants/Raves/Stories: We had the AS on Monday. Baby looks great and we got some cute ultrasound pictures. The tech was excellent and really took her time to show us every body part and made sure we knew what we were looking at for each thing. We also went through with being Team Green again (I was wavering).
Upcoming Appointments: just another regular check up in 2ish weeks.
Questions: nothing right now
GTKY: Since I jumped the gun on Thanksgiving last week, let's talk Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas song and any special reason? (Or holiday song if you don't celebrate Christmas) the Christmas song (chestnuts roasting on an open fire) is my favorite Christmas song. I also like to jam to the NSync holiday station on Pandora.
Symptoms: Aches and pains around the belly.. Sharp, stabbing pain at night.
Rants/Raves/Stories: We registered this past weekend. A) babies need a crapton of stuff..
Upcoming Appointments: 24 week appointment in December, and then the GD test to be scheduled.

I love too many songs to pick one! But the grinch soundtrack is pretty great
Symptoms: Joint pain in my hip area, some round ligament pain, insane gas and indigestion. Movement that I notice/feel when I'm sitting still at least 2-3 times a day.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I'm halfway done and I feel like I should have way more accomplished for this pregnancy. Time has really flown by and I have no furniture for the room, no definite nursery theme (leaning towards Miami Heat or Orlando Magic colors/decor despite the gender), and I have purchased ZERO baby items (not even diapers! *gasp*)
Upcoming Appointments: I'm scheduled for my anatomy U/S on 12-2. We are def. not Team Green so when we know the gender next week, mama will be shopping her a** off for sure. Might not even go back to work afterwards; just head straight to the mall.
Questions: None that I can think of.

I started listening to Christmas music yesterday at my job and got so many death stares. Lol. But I have so many favorites...
Let It Snow by Boys II Men always makes me wanna grind up on my husband (TMI, sorry but to me that's a sexy Christmas song! Lol.) Any Christmas music by Brian McKnight is AMAZING also. For me, it's all about Motown artists for Christmas too. Soulful, harmonious, soothing.....all of the above!
*runs to turn on Motown Christmas station on Pandora*
*side eye recieved from DH*
To the question about baby's position.... DD1 was all over the place until she turned head down for good around 30ish weeks. She was my most active by far. DD2 was head down from my 20 week scan. And this lo is currently laying side to side and seems content to stay right there. Lol She barely moves. I'm hoping she will follow suit and turn later
Symptoms: None, really.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Booked my baby moon to Cancun in January! YAY! And the other good news is that hubby has felt baby kick a few times now. Aaaaaand I have a bump!
Upcoming Appointments: Early december for a regular check.
Questions: None.
GTKY: Since I jumped the gun on Thanksgiving last week, let's talk Christmas! What is your favorite Christmas song and any special reason? (Or holiday song if you don't celebrate Christmas): Hmmmm maybe Let is Snow? Or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?
Symptoms: not much, but baby girl is a lot more active so lots of random pokes especially at night.
Rants/Raves/Stories: the fiancé got to feel LO for the first time last Thursday. The look on his face made me so happy. It was while he was singing silly songs to my tummy. She definitely gets wiggly when he talks, glad he finally got to feel it!
Upcoming Appointments: Dec 7th. Doc needs a few more measurements that she couldn't get at the anatomy scan.
Questions: what does heartburn feel like when it's not terrible? I have had heartburn twice in my life where I thought I was dying, but had no clue what it was. Now I think I'm getting some but it's not at that level so I am not sure if it's that or just shifting insides.

I think Nightmare Before Christmas songs are included in this
As far as other songs, I like Carol of the Bells
Symptoms: Braxton hicks at least once or twice a day. I believe baby is laying low so I have to pee so many times a day I get frustrated by night! Now that the morning sickness seems to be officially gone I am sooo hungry!
Rants/Raves/Stories: I live in Miami and it is finally in the 70's just in time for thanksgiving, thank the lord!
Upcoming Appointments: 20 week appt Dec. 1st.

Traditional music sang by a choir!
Symptoms: just cramps. Round ligaments aren't being friendly. Today my uterus seems to be growing more than usual too. Ouch.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I keep seeing post or memes about being able to eat for 2 this Thanksgiving. 1) I can barely finish one plate, so I can't even use the excuse. 2) my MILs cooking is no where near as good as my Nanna and mom. I just wanna be home with them!
Upcoming Appointments: next week

I love Carol of the Bells. we sang it in 6th grade for a community program and I've loved it since then.
Symptoms: just exhausted. ... but I work full time and have 4 little boys so...eeh... can't blame the pregnancy
Rants/Raves/Stories: not much other than I'm not in love with my bump being this large this early.... so I'm just trying to accept and move along
found a beautiful antique child's armoire and my sister is redoing it for baby and it is really a neat piece!
Upcoming Appointments: um... I think next week... idk (5th baby...ha ha)
Questions: none
