Re: Thursday Ticker Change 1/14/16
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I feel very good! I'm very hungry quite often and have been experiencing hip and tailbone pain. Yesterday, I ran a few miles in the morning and played volleyball at night and my legs and hips were really uncomfortable when I got home. It felt very similar to growing pains if you've ever had them.
Upcoming appointments: A week from this coming Monday.
Questions for the Group: None today!
GTKY: What baby gear/item are you most looking forward to purchasing/receiving? Hmmm... I'm waiting for our new carpet to be installed, then I'm ordering our crib:
RRS: my nose is full of bloody boogers every morning and I'm so sick of it!!! Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good aside from my sore knee. The snoogle pillow has really helped with hip pain
Appointments: next is Feb 4... The one hour glucose test!
?s: omg I can't make gifs work
GTKY: We have been buying larger baby items as I find them on crazy sales... but I am still drooling over the Peg Perego Siesta High Chair
and the Onya baby carrier
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm feeling lots of thumps from LO-- some hefty enough to visibly bounce my stomach. As one of my students put it, "I'm not trying to be rude, but you're looking very pregnant." Yep, my belly popped out even further seemingly over the weekend. Pregnancy brain and hunger-pangs are striking randomly this week, as well as fatigue. I'm wondering if LO is growing a bunch this week. I've also reached the point where simply bending over isn't an option anymore. It's like trying to bend over a balloon-- I just bounce back up at a certain degree of bending. Lots of squatting is happening both for exercise and for picking things up, putting things down, dressing, etc.
Upcoming appointments: Next week
Questions for the Group: Anyone else have a baby who is hanging out mostly breech? I need him to turn in order to be able to attempt a VBAC. Last time, DS turned breech at the very end, so there was no turning him. This time, I'm really trying to encourage head-down, but he's not really taking the bait yet.

We're reusing a ton of stuff. I'm probably most excited about adding some new books to our big collection so that this LO has some of his own, and the few new pieces of clothing that I've purchased. When we eventually move, which may be this year or next year, I'll be excited to create a bedroom for this LO and choose art, make curtains, etc. like we did for DS's room. For now, baby will room with DH and me, then with DS once he's sleeping longer stretches at night.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I've actually been feeling pretty good this week, so no complaints!
Upcoming appointments: @EErin86 My next appointment is for my 1 hr. glucose test on 2/4 also. Not looking forward to it. I hate having blood drawn because needles freak me out!
Questions for the Group: Have you made a registry? If so, where? We ended up making 3 registries (Walmart, Target, and Babies R Us) because we are having 2 showers in different states, and there isn't a single store with a selection we like and locations in both places. There is a Walmart in my hometown (shower location #2), but no Target or Babies R Us unless you drive over an hour away. There is a Target and Babies R Us in DH's hometown (shower location #1), but not a Walmart. We have all 3 where we live (and where our friends will be shopping, even though we aren't having a shower here), so we decided to do 3 registries and just plan on doing a lot of returns when we inevitably end up with duplicates.
GTKY: What baby gear/item are you most looking forward to purchasing/receiving? The Pack 'N Play, which will be essential since we live on the coast and will need something to put LO in while we're at the beach. I'm planning on getting one like this with the removable sunshade on top.
@swflJD I've made two registries. I registered at Amazon and Target. My hometown and where I'm having the shower doesn't have a Target (there's a Walmart), but mostly everyone will be able to order online or have someone help them order online if they wish to purchase from the registry.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: BH like crazy, headaches, boobs are growing (that's a rave for me!) tired again all of the sudden?
Upcoming appointments: I've been sitting at my appt for the past 45 mins and still haven't seen the Dr. I'm getting hungry.
Questions for the Group: n/a
GTKY: What baby gear/item are you most looking forward to purchasing/receiving? I have everything that I need for the most part, however my bday is on Sunday, and I'm wondering if I'll get the double stroller that I've had my eye on.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Mucho heartburn is not fun.
Upcoming appointments: Well I DID have one scheduled for the 25th but I just found out today (by calling to confirm my appointment) that it was actually CANCELLED by the office and they never felt the need to tell me. I spoke to one of my friends who has my same doctor and apparently he has accepted another job at another hospital. Which is fine... but I would have liked to have been told this. I am very happy that my spidey senses were tingling enough to have me call to confirm my appointment. Now I'm in limbo trying to figure out what to do.
Questions for the Group: Has anyone had to switch doctors mid pregnancy?
GTKY: What baby gear/item are you most looking forward to purchasing/receiving? I'm looking forward to all the baby books
As well as this one...
