Re: Weekend Ticker Change 1/23 & 1/24
Rants/raves/symptoms: Heartburn & a little more frequent urination this week...I think LO must have gone through the growth spurt this week that I've read other people talking about because movement has been less this week. The movement I have felt has been stronger though and the other night she was pretty active and Husband finally got to feel her.
Upcoming appointments: Feb 8th for regular checkup and hopefully another ultrasound (if they have time) for Dr to confirm that our girl is in fact a girl.
Questions for the group: Anyone else feeling like their hormones have been completely out of whack lately? I have been SOOO grumpy this week and I think it's a mixture of pregnancy hormones and a long, hard work week. Also, how long does the "21 week growth spurt" last? I haven't actually read anything about a growth spurt other than on the message boards.
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Salad. Ha, just kidding. All the sweets...which I tried so hard to avoid in the beginning of pregnancy. I really have been trying to eat better lately...
Rants/raves/symptoms:
Rant: got woken up by my first leg cramp the other night.. Ouch.
Rave: my Snoogle!! Also, I've only been getting up about once every other night to go to the bathroom.
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan on 1/28. Can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl.
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Jalapeño Mac and cheese
DS1: May 2016
DS2: Jan 2019
Baby #3 EDD: 6/18/24
Rants/raves/symptoms: I'm feeling really great overall but my heartburn is back and worse than ever. I've never had heartburn outside of pregnancy but damn it's been blazing. Time to bust out the Pepcid A/C.
Upcoming appointments: glucose test and regular appointment on 1/28. I actually like the orange drink
Questions for the group: can't think of any
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Grapes, citrus, lemonade
@txmamatobe, it is possible that your HB is being caused by the citrus and lemonade.
Week/ fruit: 24 weeks. No clue on the fruit but I am over that comparison. Some weeks the fruit is smaller than the week before, so I don't trust it!
Rants/raves/symptoms: I hate maternity jeans. By the end of the day, the crotch is half way down my thigh and it is so irritating. Leggings are my BFFS right now! And the only shoes that fit/are comfy are my Uggs.
Upcoming appointments: 2/8 for monthy appointment and glucose test.
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Nothing specific, but I have a major sweet tooth. Having 2 or 3 desserts a day.
Raves: all the kicks! And apparently I look pregnant now - which makes me wonder what I looked like a couple of weeks back?
Symptoms: I get really uncomfortable later in the evening and leg cramps at night.
Upcoming appointments: 15 Feb for maternity ward visit and ultrasound. We couldn't measure baby's head at my AS so will do that then as well.
GTKY: Orange juice and sleep
Rants/raves/symptoms: Just really enjoying all the movement I've been feeling lately. DH actually got to feel it a few days ago and he was really excited so now he's trying all the time. I feel like heartburn might be making a resurgence but not as bad as it was in the first tri.
Upcoming appointments: 1/26
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? All the sweet things, especially cookies. I've never been a fan of sweets but now I can't get enough.
Upcoming appointments-Feb 8th prenatal checkup+another u/s to get better measurements of baby girls heart. I am excited to see her again♡♥
Raves-stronger kicks. DH was able to feel her♡♥
Rants/symptoms-Headaches and aweful hip and lower back pain at night..
Questions-
Cravings-Nothing I have to have but sweets inc peanut Mnms seem to keep finding thete way into the house
Rants/raves/symptoms: Feeling him and seeing him on the outside now, it is so cool!
Upcoming appointments: February 2nd for our 3D/4D ultrasound!! I can't wait to see what our sweet boy looks like
Questions for the group: Has anyone toured pediatric offices yet? What questions did you ask them? We have an appointment to tour one soon.
GTKY: What have you been craving lately?
Asian food, any kind (authentic or Americanized). Nothing specifically weird though. I still can't stand all my usual dislikes. Sad, I kinda wish I would start to like raw tomatoes more, but no. Luckily, I haven't started to hate any food because I love food
Rants/raves/symptoms: the damn hormones.
Upcoming appointments: 2 weeks for another growth US. Then the next week for prenatal. I go every two weeks. Thank you to old age
Questions for the group: nope
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Soda. And I usually hate soda.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Nothing bad here! just the usual insomnia, some nausea, and reflux (?) Probably doing a little too well at gaining weight this month
Upcoming appointments: this Monday: regular OB visit, followed by cervical length US and MFM consult.
Questions for the group: I'm 29 and have been lucky enough not to ever have heartburn or reflux. I think I'm having one of those because when I lay down at night, I get this uncomfortable feeling in my throat. Not painful, but it grosses me out.
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Well besides everything, this week I can't get enough Good N Plenty candy. I haven't had them in years. We grocery shop at Traders Joes, so this craving requires an extra stop. embarassing.
Keep up the great work, ladies!!

Week/ fruit: 26/Head of Lettuce
Symptoms: Heartburn, all the time. I get to the point where I don't want to eat because I'll just hurt if I eat. I should probably start my daily zantac.
Rants/Raves: I had an u/s on Thursday, and again, there was no definite baby junk to be seen, boy or girl. The dr thinks girl, and I'm sure it is a girl, but I'm not comfortable calling baby a girl just because we saw no boy or girl bits. So, I'll default back to team green. On a better note, I made it to my 26 week goal of no one knowing. My next goal is 30 weeks.
Upcoming appointments: February 4th for a 3D u/s and February 11th for my GD test and 29 week appointment.
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Nothing, really.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Feeling good and baby girl is moving around a lot more. H got to feel her for the first time last night. We completely cleared out the nursery, painted, and assembled the bed this week. I can't wait to finish it this week. (H is on vacation this week so need to take advantage of that)
Upcoming appointments: 2/24 for OB check up
Questions for the group: none
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Everyday I crave fruit and candy. That balances out, right?
Symptoms...heartburn all the time. Even water gives me heartburn, it's crazy.
Rants...my boobs will not stop. Seriously, I'm going to have to go on bed rest just from having to cart these puppies around. Raves...leggings!!! Why have I never embraced these before??
Upcoming appt...feb 4th with my new doctor. Definitely looking forward to that.
Questions...has the "all smells are overwhelming" symptom hit anyone? All the "just you wait'ers" told me that smells would start to drive me crazy, but I don't really notice anything different.
Cravings...the same, sweets!! Glad I'm not alone.
Rants/raves/symptoms: I just want to poop like a normal human. But my bump is super cute and babies are kicking up a storm which I thought would weird me out but I really love it! Seriously with the boobs. Ow. Finally, new year, new deductible$.
Upcoming appointments: The perinatologist on Wednesday. I sure love seeing both babies on ultrasound every 3-4 weeks!
Questions for the group: are any others battling with DH who doesn't want to talk baby stuff, even when you have to get sh!t scheduled?
GTKY: What have you been craving lately? Peanut butter. Must need the extra protein and healthy fat.
Rants/raves/symptoms: heartburn has subsided...yay! Feeling this active baby all.the.time. Started to get bigger and things like tying my shoes are harder. But I'm still able to work out!
Upcoming appts: next week then not until March 9th.
GTKY: what have you been craving? I've actually been craving beer. And I don't really drink. I'll maybe have 3 drinks in a year. I told hubby when I have this baby I want to go out for a burger and beer!
Rants/raves/symptoms: I had some contractions in the middle of the night last night. Hopefully this isn't a new thing for me :-/
