Re: ~*~*Friday Ticker Change*~*~

  • How many weeks? 12 weeks!!! Bring on the 2nd Tri!!

    What size? A small hampster

    Upcoming appointments? Monday. Getting excited to hear the heartbeat again :)

    Rants/Raves/Questions? We have yet to tell any of our family! I was joking with DH and said we could probably get away with waiting until spring when everyone's out of hibernation, but I know he's anxious to spread the news.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Citrus, apple cinnamon Cheerios, and fried eggs.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? One sister, one step-brother and one step-sister. If it weren't for our crazy lives we would probably be closer (me and my sis anyway). I have best friends that I'm closer with. I would like to have a better relationship with my siblings someday!

    How many weeks?  11 weeks and so excited!!

    What size?  Lime

    Upcoming appointments?  Today!  So excited to get to hear the heartbeat and know everything is ok.  I'm a worry wort, so I won't be ok until we get to hear that heartbeat.   Also - this will be DHs first time at the OB, so should be extra special, lol.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  It's Friday!!!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just tired - but I think that might be letting up?  Also - my go to menu item prior to pregnancy was always a burger as I'm extremely picky and almost every restaurant has a burger.   Yea, now I have absolutely no desire and the thought/smell of one just makes me nauseous. 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close?  I have one brother.   We're pretty close and are there for each other whenever we're needed which is fantastic to have.
     
  • How many weeks? 9 

    What size? A green olive? Although the thought of olives makes me ill right now so I'm going to say a grape. 

    Upcoming appointments? Next Friday. FINALLY. When I got the appointment, it was a month away and I felt like it was an eternity. Now it's just a week away and I cannot wait to see the US! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I was feeling pretty lucky that my bloat wasn't really coming on until late afternoon/evening each day, but this past week it started showing up pretty much immediately after eating breakfast. I'm assuming people at work think I've gone off the deep end with eating, and I also worry they're side-eyeing my ginormous boobs lately. Although I guess that's rather narcissistic of me to think that everyone pays that much attention to me. :) 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Aversions - the smell of our spice cabinet really does me in. Also randomly, the smell of our hand soap in the bathroom has started turning my stomach the past few days. Symptoms - Same old, nausea coming in waves, fatigue, sore (and giant) boobs, the bloat is real. Cravings - Oranges oranges oranges!!! 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? I have one sister and unfortunately we are not close. We are civil, but we don't really talk unless we see 
    each other. I'd love to have a closer relationship, but we're just so different, so I'm not sure that will ever happen.

    How many weeks? 13 today! Due 9/2

    What size? A peach :smile: 

    Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! Next one is 3/24

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone from Iowa?!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just eat whatever sounds good in the moment, probably how I've gained 10lbs already... :neutral: 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 1 sister and 2 sister in laws, all great and easy to talk to :smile: 
  • How many weeks? 10 Weeks! double digits :)

    What size? Prune or Kumquat

    Upcoming appointments? Next appointment is on March 11th

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I purchased a Doppler and it arrived yesterday! I was able to find the heartbeat within a couple minutes and got to have DH listen as well, which was so awesome!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still have MS in the morning. I don't have many cravings besides pizza, but that's no different from when I wasn't pregnant. For aversions.. meats (i can sometimes eat a tiny bit of chicken or ground beef), Greek yogurt, avocados and pasta are the big ones now.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 3. Yes, we are all pretty close.

  • How many weeks? 13!

    What size? a scoop of icecream

    Upcoming appointments? march 8th at 14.5 weeks since I am switching doctors 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Why can no one decide when the first trimester ends. Many say 12 or 13 but one book I have says 14!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I feel like that Oprah commercial "I LOVE BREAD"

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? I am an only Child and we are only planning on having one too!
    Me: 32 DH: 31
    TTC #2 since January 2018

  • How many weeks? 12

    What size?  a plum

    Upcoming appointments? I have my first US today and I think I am actually more terrified than excited. Haven't even heard a heartbeat yet so today is the day see how baby has been doing.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  nothing much 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?  I actually quit my morning coffee cold turkey, I just couldn't stand the smell of it one day. Still get a Starbucks treat once a week though.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close?  I have an older brother, not extremely close but still a great relationship when we do get together.
  • I am infiltrating your ticker change date because I am not online on Saturdays, but I still want to share. I hope that doesn't bother anyone.

    How many weeks? 11 weeks tomorrow.

    What size? A lime I guess

    Upcoming appointments? Today for blood draw for genetic testing. Then 2 weeks from now to see the doc.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing much today. My DH is coming around on accepting that I am pregnant. However, he is so sarcastic everything he says drives me nuts. He is constantly making comments about how tired I am, that I am not even doing anything, and that I eat all the time. It is getting really frustrating since these are all symptoms of me having his baby.


    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? No cravings or aversions. At least not consistent ones. Every time it is time to eat I just go for whatever sounds perfect at that time. I have thrown away a couple lunches because after I take a bite they are disgusting and make me sick. I feel nauseous all the time but haven't thrown up yet. I just keep it at bay with animal crackers.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 3 - a half brother, a step brother and a step sister. My step bro lives in Korea. We are not very close. I only hear updates through my parents, and my sister. My sister and half brother were both in my wedding. I love all my siblings and we get a long great. I didn't grow up with them so I am not close like you would imagine siblings to be.
  • How many weeks? 13

    What size? Peach!

    Upcoming appointments? Not for a while bc we had an appt this past Wed.  But we got a new US and baby looks like a baby! Heard heartbeat and did NIPT.  Will know the sex in a few weeks!

    Rants/Raves/Questions? So now that i'm 13 wks, I stopped Diclergis for nausea and have been given the ok for Zofran.  When I woke up this morning I felt wonderful! Waking up from Diglergis is like having a hangover.  And I didn't barf this am! Hoping this is a sign the worst is over!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving all things cinnamon - cinnamon french toast, cinnamon rolls, dougnuts, toast.  Averted by hummus and deli meat.  The sight of either makes my stomach turn and are my DS fave things to eat  :s 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 2 and yes.  Older sister younger brother.  Both live close and have children in similar ages to mine.  Between the 3 of us we have 4 boys between the ages of 1-3 and we get together on the weekends for them to play.  Everyone wants the new baby to be a girl since we have so many boys already, but i'm secretly hoping it's another lil man 
    :)

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I swear baby has just now realized the last week or so that first trimester is ending right away and feels the need to play catch up in the puke department... Never puked once until just before the 12 week mark and now it's been every day at least once!!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? 
    - congestion, nausea/vomiting, heartburn and fatigue. Oh and the metallic taste has returned, ugh!
    - craving a DQ chicken strip basket with gravy and ketchup and a nice big vanilla "moolate!" So thankful the closest DQ is 2 hrs away...
    - Aversions change day to day but my once loved black coffee has been a constant yuck from the start :(

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 
    I'm the oldest and have 1 brother and 2 sisters, all quite close

  • How many weeks?
    13. Last week in the first trimester, but I already feel like I've been pregnant forever. Not complaining but I can't even imagine how I'll feel once I'm 8 months!

    What size?
    Matchbox car/jalapeno

    Upcoming appointments?
     Next Friday! Looking forward to hearing the heartbeat but dreading the blood draw.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Finally feeling like myself again and not so lethargic after work. I actually swept my house yesterday, someone give me a medal. 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? 
    @kosmo86 YES GIVE ME ALL THE BREAD. I want to go to Spaghetti Warehouse just bc they serve mini loaves of sourdough before the meal. So good. 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 
    1 younger sister. She is my best friend now, but we did not get along as adolescents.  

  • How many weeks? 13 weeks today - due on 9/2 

    What size? Peach 

    Upcoming appointments? Just waiting for the CVS results ( had it last Tues- for genetic disease concerns) and dismayed to find out it will take about a week longer than I was previously told- so 2 weeks from now. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Obviously, I've been a total mess. I held a newborn yesterday and then had an insomnia episode last night, just thinking of the worst case scenario. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for either way. 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?  Have been feeling much better this week, craving citrus fruits and something sweet every few hours

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close?  one younger brother and we are close. He just got married this year and I love my new SIL.!

  • How many weeks? 9! Man I hate being on the tail end of the month! :tongue: 

    What size? See ticker

    Upcoming appointments? March 8th I get a dating ultrasound. Mostly because my midwife and I are not sure if I'm actually 9 weeks. I might be less and due in October since my miscarriage messed up my cycles.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Just that I'm pretty much over the all day sickness. I can feel fine one second and then move wrong and I'll feel sick for hours. I never had morning sickness this bad with my first three.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Right now I crave nothing and am disgusted by everything! Actually, I do wish I got faux-sushi at the grocery store.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? I have four siblings! We are pretty close and have been for the most part throughout our lives. It's especially nice because my two older sisters each have two kids the same age as my own. 

    Baby 1 - 10/2010 | Baby 2 - 8/2012 | Baby 3 - 6/2014 | Baby 4 - EDD 8/2016 - MC 12-27-2015 | Baby 5 - : 9/2016

  • Update:  Had my heartbeat appointment this morning and couldn't find it. Thankfully she had warned me before doing it that this was most likely.   My doctor said they don't usually find it until the 12-13 week, so alas I have to now wait until my next US on 3/7, but alas that's a US so yay!


  • @jellybiehn Good luck!! I hope all goes well. I actually feel the same about my first appointment next Friday -- excited but terrified! 

    @erinkerr13 Welcome to Friday :) 

    @LakeR2014 I'm sorry to hear that!! Fingers crossed that everything looks wonderful at your next appointment :)

    How many weeks? 11

    What size? Lime

    Upcoming appointments? March 18th is our next appointment. We had the ultrasound last Friday so I'm content now to wait. The midwife practice I'm going to also does 4 group appointments so I'll have one of those in April, should be interesting.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I found out that a close friend who has been TTC for a while is not only pregnant but our due dates are a day apart! It was so exciting! We're going to take bump pictures together once we get bumps :smile: 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Not many symptoms. I've been hungry a lot but not having too many specific cravings. I have been still into citrus thought. Aversion to pork right now, I usually love pulled pork but right now ugh now way.

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? Just one, younger brother. He and I aren't super close but he lives at home so I see him pretty often when I visit my parents.

  • How many weeks? 9 with twins 

    What size? Southern pecan or a jack

    Upcoming appointments? Had another ultrasound today, they were able to see two separate sacs which is great news! Babes are measuring well and had perfect heartbeats. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Just relieved right now!  I'm glad both are still there and doing well! 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Tired and super emotional.  Some heartburn and food aversions but nothing too crazy. 

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? 
    One brother who is a year older.  We are very different and I adore him but wish we were closer.

    #1 born 8/21/14, #2 & 3 (identical) due 9/27/16


  • How many weeks? 12! Due 9/9

    What size? Macaron, toy soldier, plum, small apricot!

    Upcoming appointments? Not for another four weeks! Just had my NT scan yesterday so will now go once a month.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? The NT scan was so great!! Baby was facing the transducer and had her little hands on her face so we couldn't get a great printed picture but we saw a beautiful little human in there! The doctor said baby seemed to be sleeping with her hands on her face and ended up waking up and wiggling around at the end. The NT measurement was completely normal and he showed us baby's heartbeat at 170, spine, arms and legs, the stomach and bladder full of amniotic fluid and the kidneys. It was such a wonderful experience seeing baby look more and more human each time. Now I just have to wait 8 weeks for the A/S and to find out the sex!

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I feel like the nausea is going away for a little bit during the day but it comes back with a vengeance at night through the morning. I have a hard time keeping breakfast down and can never keep anything down after 5 or 6, not even water. Hoping this continues to improve. Other symptoms I would say are pelvic pain, itchiness, headaches, etc. I can't stand the sight of chicken or turkey but I'm craving red meat like crazy! I had been eating healthier until I had some pizza for lunch... Oh well!

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close? Two brothers. We are close.

  • A little late, since we were on vacation, but I still want to chime in!  I love these threads  :)

    How many weeks? 10!  I can't believe the 1st tri is almost done!

    What size?  A prune.  Crazy how big they get between weeks.

    Upcoming appointments?  Next week Thursday I have my first appointment with the actual doctor and get my first u/s!  I am so freaking excited to see my baby and hear the heartbeat.  

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  I am really starting to look pregnant (maybe only to me and my husband, but still) and even though it isn't really baby yet, I'm kind of excited.  I'm not looking forward to having to shop for pants though, but I really need to since my main pair of work pants barely button and are really uncomfortable now.  Luckily I can get away with black jeggings and a tunic-y sweater at work 90% of the time.  I'm also waiting for the doctor's office to get back to me about the spotting I had this weekend which is making it hard to focus.  Has anyone else had spotting?  I'm guessing it's fine since it's brown and not a lot of it but it still makes me nervous.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Yesterday all I wanted was veggie sushi, so DH got me some and then my MS was so bad I couldn't eat it.  That sucked.  Mostly though I crave sour things.  The other night I had a tortilla spread with peanut butter wrapped around some pickles and DH was teasing me about that. It was so good though!

    GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close?  I have 1 sister about 3.5 years older than me and we are pretty close.  I wish we lived closer (it's like a 10 hour drive) so we could be pregnant together, but we have always been close.  Her #2 is due in late June/early July, so it has been fun talking about symptoms and we're looking forward to texting during late night feedings.
