Married: 2012 --- BFP: 2013 - Little Miss arrived: 2014 --- BFP #2: 2015 - EDD: 2/2016 (Team Green)
Re: Friday Ticker Change! - 1/8/16
Girl/Boy/Surprise - Team Surprise!
Symptoms/cravings - Have completely lost the ability to sleep these last few days. All day, LO feels like he/she is trying to kick out of my stomach... the pain/pressure has stopped me in my tracks. My desk job is pure torture on my joints, back, and stomach. Sciatica and reflux still and still no true cravings this week. Food is just eh right now. (That makes me so sad to say!)
Rants/raves - I got the friendly reminder call about my RCS. I didn't think it was completely set in stone but they have me scheduled and I have to be there at 5:30am! WHAT!! I'm so glad my doctor just went ahead and scheduled me since all time slots were already filled for that day (besides the 3pm.. not fasting until then!!) but that's so early!! I know I won't be getting any sleep that night but seriously, could they not have scheduled me for the 9:30am time slot. I think I'm just sad I won't be able to say bye to my DD, just in case. Maybe I'll try to facetime when she gets up before we get started. 6 weeks left - craziness!!
Doctor Appointments - early next week for a normal check up
GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby? - We have painted, set up the crib, bought diapers, and received my new high tech baby carrier. I got LO one boy and one girl onesie for Christmas that we will bring to the hospital and I crocheted a pink and a blue hat for LO to wear as a reveal.. but that's about it. I'm going to wait to see what LO is before buying anything else. I have all of DD's old stuff that will work just fine but if LO is a boy, I'll have to spurge and get some new wraps and blankets. This is what happens when everyone goes pink crazy!
Weeks/fruit -34/ squash
Girl/Boy/Surprise - boy
Symptoms/cravings - contractions, fatigue, swelling, peeing every 5 seconds, hip and back pain, lots of pressure.
Rants/raves -everything. Ugh.
Doctor Appointments - today, and now weekly. At my appointment today my doctor took me out of work after hooking me up to the monitor thing and recording contractions. I had continuous mini contractions and also bigger contractions. She said now it's a waiting game and if I go into labor anytime they won't try and stop it. I was also switched from normal pregnancy to high risk.
GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby?
Nothing left to do for baby, but I have to get my own hospital bag ready and get all my postnatal stuff still. It's coming up quick! And now possibly even sooner than originally "planned"!
Girl/Boy/Surprise - Girl
Symptoms/cravings - hip/pelvic pain, bad acid reflux every night after midnight, sooo tired
Rants/raves - Rant-am suppose to have RCS by 37th week and still have not seen doc again since before christmas. Kaiser said they are overwhelmed with appts right now
Doctor Appointments - Finally after a month I have one next thursday
GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby? EVERYTHING, lord help us. Its just hard to do anything chasing after 15 month old DS all day
ETA: I only read your GTKY answer before posting that.. ekk for early contractions and high risk now - keep cooking baby!! Take it easy momma!
Girl/Boy/Surprise - Boy
Symptoms/cravings - Pelvic pain and lots of lower back pain. I miss carbs so much!
Rants/raves - My doctor has me scheduled for a weekly NST on Mondays and a weekly ultrasound on Thursdays which started this week until I deliver. I don't really understand why we are doing this...baby is measuring in the 54th percentile and everything looks great. My sugars have been really good...the only explanation they gave me is that it is because I take Glyburide to help control my fasting sugars. I'm glad however they are taking precautions and look forward to my weekly picture of baby boy.
Doctor Appointments - Monday NST and hopefully scheduling my csection.
GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby? We have everything we "need" but I'm still working on the nursery. We actually just painted it over the holidays...the baby bedding just shipped yesterday...lol
I haven't really felt pressure to get it done...maybe because it's baby #2.
Make a pregnancy ticker
My baby will most likely come before his due date. That's so scary for me to think about! When I was buying and washing newborn clothes I was so scared I was doing it all for nothing because they're so tiny! I was sure he would come out too big to fit in them. Looks like he has a good chance of wearing newborn clothes now, I guess on the bright side....? Lol. Baby is still healthy in there, and whenever he decides to come if fine by me as long as he stays healthy! My goal is to avoid NICU time, so I'm hoping he'll stay put until after 37 weeks, just to be sure!
Eta words are hard!

I can't believe I'm going to say this.. Nothing! Just to clean the house .. That I JUST cleaned two days ago.. Since it's already destroyed..
Btw, I hope that husband of yours gets it together! Those are all things he's going to have to be doing very soon! I made my husband feed the dogs dinner the other day, I told him he better start practicing! Lol
