Re: Monday & Tuesday Ticker Change! 12/21 & 12/22
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Happy to report that I am feeling more movement this week after a couple weeks of rare flutters.
Upcoming appointments: 4 HOURS until the big anatomy scan! I know some others on this check-in have theirs today too....good luck!
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? Waiting for one more shipment that should be here today. Once I wrap that I am DONE! What are you most looking forward to this week? Christmas Eve with my side of the family.
Week/Fruit: 21/Pomegranate according to TB which I think is way off. Ovia says baseball cap which seems much more accurate.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Little man is moving all the time now and definitely seems to be developing a pattern of movement throughout the day. He is getting heavy, though! That is my rant I guess. My back has been killing me!
Upcoming appointments: AS on Wednesday. My OB does an hour US so I am so excited to see him for so long.
Questions for the Group: Are crab legs ok to eat while pregnant?
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? Finally done with all my shopping and wrapping. Feels good to be accomplished. I'm looking forward to Christmas Eve as well. My closest family members all get together and have prime rib and crab legs (hence my above question).
@hellogoodbye2 Are you finding out the sex at your AS? So exciting!
Rants/raves/symptoms: had the flu over the weekend
Upcoming Appointments: a/s at 1:30!!!! I've been referring to baby as "little man" for some reason lately, but we'll see!!! It could just be a habit since I have 2 other little men already
Questions: I think I'm good. Might change my mind later. I feel like I had something, but it's gone...yay for preggo brains lol
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week?
Shopping? Not even close. Was short 2 days pay last week or I would be. Still have the inlaws to finish and a couple more things for the boys...DS#1 asked Santa for a Christmas tree for his bedroom...and we kinda forgot about it...so we're on the hunt on pay day...wednesday...fingers crossed there's still some short green ones left!!!
What am I most looking forward to this week...Tbh...it being over. I have less than no Christmas spirit this year and I'd prefer to hibernate all week.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I've cried a little less this week (have been so emotional!), symptom would be I'm starting to feel the workouts more and get winded much easier.
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan in just a few hours!! @hellogoodbye2 this definitely makes for a more positive Monday!
Questions for the Group: Has anyone still not told work yet? My boss and a couple coworkers know, but the vast majority do not. I plan on telling after the break, but I'm running out of clothing to hide in!
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? I have to pick up an order and one gift card, but then I'm officially done! (a few more to wrap though). Most looking forward to some time off and my favorite cousins coming into town. Also, revealing that we are not in fact 'team green,' but surprise sharing the gender with everyone on Christmas Eve.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just feeling tired, but I think that has more to do with how busy this time of year is. Also, very happy that MH has been way more into talking to baby and rubbing my belly. And, I got a super boost when someone at church (who doesn't know I am pregnant...wasn't a regular, just a C&E parishioner) said out-of-the-blue "Wow, you look absolutely stunning! What is your secret?"
Upcoming appointments: 12/28 with MFM specialist. I am so excited because I absolutely LOVE her and she always makes me feel awesome. I love my OB too, but I have a super connection with MFM specialist for some reason. She also happens to be the mom of one of my students so we joke that I take care of her kid and she takes care of mine. Also, Christmas morning is the big reveal! I can't wait to see what my sister has planned!
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? I have to get gifts for my mom and sisters. I am doing photo calendars and wanted to wait until after the Christmas pageant yesterday because I just knew there would be a cute shot of my son as a sheep...I just didn't expect that my mom would fill in for one of the angels and I would get a picture of her in her halo and my son in his sheep costume! It will be the perfect gift! Of course, it was a little awkward when my son asked where Grandma was and I said "She is an angel now, hunny" and his little face just fell! I quickly reassured him that Grandma is ok and she is just getting into costume for the pageant before the tears started coming. Whoops.
I am really looking forward to the Christmas Eve service because my children's choir has been requested to reprise their pageant performance for the 5pm service! They were so incredible and I couldn't be more proud of them!
@jessiedee13 - the holidays can be exciting, but stressful too. It'll be nice to relax after all the travel and activities are done.
We're opening the envelope revealing our little ones sex after all the celebrations though. So I am kind of excited for that lol just have to get past everything else first lol
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: super sleepy still!
Upcoming appointments: December 29 th! Ultrasound (19 weeks). This will be our 6th or 7th ultrasound due to "high risk" stuff. Baby has always been perfect though! Yay!
Questions for the Group: what does baby movement feel like? So far I feel things that feel "exactly" like my intestines moving but very random, which makes me think it's baby? It's usually all very low...
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? Haven't done any Christmas shopping! What are you most looking forward to this week? Time off from work and quiet time with just my husband because once baby comes, everything will be very different!
@sarawifenow - eat the crab legs!!! They're fine in moderation according to my doctor.
Week/Fruit: 21/pomegranate (tomorrow)
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I feel uncomfortable already. My stomach feels in the way all the time... I didn't feel like this until I was much farther along with DD.
Upcoming appointments: Not until January.
Questions for the Group: No
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? Yes, done with Christmas shopping! Looking forward to flying to Oregon to visit family in a few days.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rant- I didn't realize how exhausting making a baby registry would be. We did our today and it was so overwhelming.mthere are probably still things we need to add!
Upcoming appointments: Had my A/S today. We're having a BOY!
Questions for the Group: What is one necessity that you HAD to have on your registry?
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? I am done Christmas shopping.

Rants rave symptoms -ROUND LIGAMENT PAINS SUCK! These keep waking me up! And random pains in the low abdomen area
Questions for group ^ could the random belly pains be the baby kicking? Or just wishful thinking?
Upcoming appointmens- had our anatomy scan today and found out we have a healthy baby boy!! Couldn't be more excited! Plus so husband got to see an ultrasound finally and I loved how excited he was! ♡
GTKY- Honestly the husband and I have been very grinch like this year and haven't gone shopping yet (and I don't know if we will! Lol)
I'm just ready for the holidays to be over, be hormonal and away from ALL of my family is not a good combination, usually it doesn't get to me.. this year is different though!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: skin is still horrible. Have had a face rash for 4.5 months now - derm appt on 12/28 though (hallelujah!!)
Upcoming appointments: none for a few weeks - had my A/S last week and little girl looks perfect!!
Questions for the Group: none that I can think of, but @sarawifenow , go ham on those crab legs! I asked my OB this, too, as every NYE my family does a king crab fest and my OB said just to keep seafood intake to once a week (if you have it twice in one week then you just have to take a week off at some point).
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? I am DONE and looking forward to getting together with both sides of DH's and I's families and relaxing!
@laurenmdrn16 Thanks! We both registered for our own diaper bags (is that selfish? The suggestion paper we got said to), he put down a backpack one and I picked another one. Both come with the little changing pads!
@jewels1020 I am having a boy too!
@AliciaD39 and @hellogoodbye2 I can't wait to hear what your little ones are.

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!Baby is looking great! Which I'm beyond thankful for. I haven't felt as much movement as I have in my previous pregnancies at this point so seeing that heartbeat gave me the biggest relief in the world!
Ultrasound tech put the results in an envelope for us to open on New Years Eve!!! And we're planning our reveal party for New Years Day!!! Beyond excited
So glad to hear everyone else's appointments went well today too! It's been an exciting day!!!
@AliciaD39 thank you! And I know your so excited keep us updated!
Now to start discussing names!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I have the flu! Ugh. I got my flu shot a month or so ago so I thought I'd for sure be okay this year, but nope! Oh well. I'm falling in Iove with my netti pot all over again. Definitely having some Braxton hicks and a few really strong cramps every now and again. Just monitoring them for now. I had advanced dilation with my DD, so I'm trying to take it easy. Otherwise all is well!
Upcoming appointments: A/S on the 30th! I think I saw boy parts when they measured the femur at my last appointment but I've kept it to myself for now
Questions for the Group: None. But I can't believe we're all about half baked now! I'm celebrating my 20 week mark with a pint of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. Y'all should join me.
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? YES! I'm done! I know it's going to sound depressing but I can't wait for Saturday and for Christmas to just be over. Deployments during the holidays suck, and once it's over I can focus on a new milestone to count down the months till he comes home.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: no real rants or raves, besides CHRISTMAS!! But symptoms are still just heart burn and lots of aches and pains randomly
Upcoming appointments: 1/5 for our regular checkup and 1/11 for our growth check up and what not at the MFM office.
Questions for the Group: none so far !
GTKY: Are you done Christmas shopping? What are you most looking forward to this week? I just need a couple small random things but otherwise yes! I'm looking forward to Christmas Eve the most! The party we attend is my fave holiday tradition!
@jessiedee13 I think I misspoke. What I plan to do is baby wear, so we don't really need an infant seat. I can't imagine myself trying to carry around a diaper bag and a huge seat. I'm a pretty small person. A friend of mine, who has had five kids, highly recommended that we just go with a convertible seat as it saves a lot of money so we are doing that. If we had more money, we'd probably go with both though! lol In answer to your question, I seem to bruise easier than usual as well! I'm noticing little bruises here and there.
@AliciaD39 That is so exciting!!! That's awesome your husband asked to take your last name. I jokingly suggested that to my DH before we got married, he wasn't having any part of that.
