Re: ~*Tuesday Ticker Change*~

  • How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size? 
    13 weeks, peach

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff: 
    Awaiting the results of my blood draw for the second part of the NT scan and the NIPT results... hope to get a call today but it might be a few more days. 

    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.)
    All the carbs -- especially french fries. And right now I'm getting back into the new season of The Bachelor. 

    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook?
    Almost. A few friends left who I will need to email or call, and I will tell work by end of the week. Eventually I'll post something on Facebook but probably not until after the anatomy scan like last time, even though I will know the sex within the next week or so via the NIPT. I like to wait until later in the pregnancy to do a wider announcement.

    How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size?  13 weeks! It's the size of a peach =)

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff: 

    Last week I had my 2nd appt and blood drawn for the harmony test. At the ultrasound I saw our baby kicking and moving around with a 169bpm heart beat so I am very happy! We also started to look at strollers and car seats and I am so happy that DH loves to data hoard. He is setting up spreadsheets for everything so I can just look at it in the end!

    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.)

    Foods: Chocolate hahaha... or Korean food
    TV shows: Game of thrones and SVU

    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook?

    We told our family on Christmas and also posted it after I made some phone calls that day! People who are left are just coworkers or acquaintances so they will find out as I grow =)


    ETA.... I think I am getting sick =( my nose is running and my voice is a little coarse....

  • @chanfa, oh no on getting sick :( I was sick all last week, I still have a hoarse voice now. I nearly lost my voice the day of my NT scan last Wednesday, that was fun! The doc was like, let me check if you're going to die from this, and actually looked at my throat. It was an ultrasound + primary care appt in all in one!

    I forgot how much it sucks to be sick without the ability to lob Advil Cold & Sinus pills down my piehole! You can take Tylenol and Robitussin though, those were my buddies last week. And humidifiers, and saline spray, and steamy showers :( I hope you don't get sick though!

  • I've kinda been all over with the ticker change days but after my last US they are confident in my date now so Tuesday it is!

    How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size? 14 weeks, baby is the size of a lemon!

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff: Headed into my midwife appointment in a few minutes. First appointment after an US finally found a SCH so I'm anxious to know if the midwives will keep me in their practice or refer me back to my OB.

    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.) Anything from the bachelor franchise. Can't look away!

    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook? Still have some family to tell. Told most of our immediate family at Christmas. Work knew super early because of how sick I was. We will put something on Facebook maybe in another month or so.
  • @silvers626, I hear you on the ticker... I'm actually measuring a little behind, but I'm sticking with my due date so keeping Tuesdays. I'd be too confused to switch it at this point anyway!

  • @mandyjulie  yea, I think it's for real now. I might have gotten it at my friends house who had a sick toddler. My other friend who was there (also pregnant) is having the same exact symptoms. Both of us are watching our temps to make sure we don't get fevers now =(

  • How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size?
    14 weeks - a beet or lemon

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff:
    Appt today, but it's with the educator lady and not a midwife. I'm starting to clean the house more, yay!
    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.)
    Sleep. I could sleep all day long (I could before pregnant)
    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook?
    Still need to tell my boss, he has young kids and expected is to have another so it'll be NBD, I just hardly ever see him in person. My grandparents don't know, but I'm of the mind that if I haven't talked to ppl at all for other reasons then why should I go out of my way?
    I don't have a Facebook
  • How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size? 14 weeks a lemon

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff: i've made it to noon without vomitting or taking my meds for MS...i don't want to jinx it but there could be a light at the end of this tunnel

    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.) Grey's Anatomy my husband calls it my soap opera...i'm re-watching all the seasons on Netflix for the 5th time? maybe more 

    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook? Everyone knows but some co-workers who work at different offices in other states. i don't have Facebook but hubby might he doesn't really post a lot of personal stuff
  • How far along: 14 weeks!! A house mouse or lemon

    Rants, Raves, Symptoms: MS has toned down for the most part. Now I seem to be getting more headaches and I'm spending my mornings sneezing up a storm (had an awesome nose bleed last night). Starting to have more energy which is really nice. Next Monday I get my blood test results and my u/s last week was amazing

    GTKY: Current guilty pleasure fix is Harry Potter, just finished rereading the books so now it's on to the movies.

    GTKY #2: we have told a couple close friends and close family that is all. My husband is ready to shout it off the rooftops but I'm enjoying it being just ours (plus I'm estranged from my dad and as soon as his side of the family knows I have to start shutting down ridiculous drama)
  • How far along are you/what's your fruit or other comparable size? 11 weeks. Small lime, brussels sprout, profiterole (mmm, cream puffs....)

    Rants, raves, symptoms, appointments or other baby-related stuff: Main symptom is just the fatigue. I've got other weird ones, like nasal congestion, insomnia (UGH, the worst), constipation, and the like. 

    Next week I have my 12-week prenatal appointment, where my OB is going to check for the hb with doppler. Then my NT scan is 2 days later. I'm really nervous. I'm one of those anxious FTMs without a lot of symptoms, and the past week or so, they've lessened. I just want to hear and see that everything is okay.

    GTKY #1: Favorite guilty pleasure (be it certain foods, TV shows, books, etc.) Starbucks. Lately I've been obsessed with their decaf white mochas.

    GTKY #2: Have you "announced" to everyone who you want to know, yet? Who is left and why? Are you going to post on Facebook? I still haven't told my best friend, mainly because I just don't know how. She's struggled with infertility for several years, and I want to be sensitive to that so I don't know how to break the news. Husband and I do plan on doing a Facebook announcement around 13 weeks or so, which means I have to tell her before then. But honestly, I'm dreading it, and I hate that. :neutral:

    Random pregnancy fact for us Tuesday ladies, also added bonus that we are in the July BMB 

    " If your due date is on a Tuesday, it just might be accurate: Tuesday is the most popular day of the week to give birth, with July being the most popular month (between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. are the most popular times). "
