Weekend (Sat/Sun) Ticker Change

Since there isn't very many of us on Sat and Sunday I figure we could try and combine them. If you want to go back to seperate days just let me know!

How many weeks today?

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Avocado

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  I just can't wait to find out what's in there!!! I'm getting so impatient. 

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where!    I wish. But I really need to save my PTO since I'm taking 12 weeks off with the baby. (Maybe I can talk the husband into a little something)

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Naval orange. 

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I'm anxious for my anatomy scan! I didn't get any genetic testing done (wasn't offered) so I'm anxious for the scan. Not that having a disabled child would change anything, but I hate the unknown. 

    Questions? Are you guys intentionally eating more, or just more hungry? I'm finally getting my appetite back and know I need to gain some lbs. wasn't sure if I should intentionally add some snacks or just eat when hungry. 

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Nope, I don't think so! If anything we may drive somewhere that's not too far away but we haven't really discussed it.

    How many weeks today? 14 weeks

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? A lemon or troll doll

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I have been feeling tired this week and still nauseous off and on. Hoping the 2nd trimester treats me better than the first!

    We opted to do the Panorma test and will have results in two weeks. I'm anxious for that and counting down the days!

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where!
    As of right now we don't have anything planned but I'm okay with that. We travel often and will have to travel after the baby is born.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Onion

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I've been eating so much better with little nausea but woke up today with a sore throat and attempted to eat, immediately got sick. I'm a stickler when it comes to taking meds while pregnant so I hope this sore throat doesn't turn into anything and can be toughed out. 

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Nope. We are actually skipping family vacation this year because it is always taken the last week of July. Which is a week before I'm due. Lol. But being able to take Lucy with us next year will 110% make up for it. ☺️

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lemon

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? My nausea has finally subsided! I am still pretty tired at the end of the day and have been falling asleep super early but hopeful the 2nd trimester will be better! I had the NIPT done Wednesday of last week and just anxiously waiting to see the results.

    Questions? 

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Not really, we plan summer trips every year and will do the same this year.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? An avacado

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Still battling the "morning"(all day) sickness. Everytime I think it's slowly getting better it comes back even worse than before. Also been having pretty bad headaches. On a much happier note, we are so excited about having a boy! I still can't believe it! It feels so much more real now! 

    Questions? Any headache relief advice? 

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! We want to go somewhere but still haven't decided where.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Onion

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  Looking forward to an appointment Monday and checking that all is well. I am finally telling my adviser this week and I am nervous.

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where

    There is a conference in Seattle I am attending March. As Seattle is where we honeymooners and The conference is close to our anniversary DH is comIng with and we are staying extra days to make it a babymoon.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Onion (or playstation controller!)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Feeling pretty good, finally recovering from a cold. Feeling tons of movement now!

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! We might take a weekend trip somewhere like Wisconsin Dells or something. I want to not plan and just randomly call in sick and go since we won't be able to do that once baby is here :)

  • How many weeks today? 14 weeks! Really feeling like I'm into this thing. 

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lemon, or, according to one app, a house mouse (ew).

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Feeling much better this week, I have more energy. I ate some seafood for the first time in ages, in fact I had a big time craving for shrimp this week, so I went with it. The cravings are starting to pick up, too. 

    Questions? When do I really have to stop lying on my back? I like to read in bed at night and that's the position that works best for that. Would I feel discomfort if it were really a problem?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! I don't know if it's a "babymoon" per se, since we would probably do it even if I weren't pregnant, but anyway, we're going to Santa Fe for memorial day weekend. We were watching "Better Call Saul" and got inspired, so we went online and found a good deal on a hotel! We live in Colorado so it's a driveable trip. I'm pretty excited about the food. I'll be sad to have to skip the margaritas, but I'll compensate by eating my way through town.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Navel Orange

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Officially can't hide my bump anymore, but I'm excited to finally see it. This nasal congestion is terrible! I have bad allergies anyways and it has gotten so much worse in the past week. I'm on oral meds and nasal spray just to try to keep it under control.

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! We are planning a trip to Niagara Falls in May for our anniversary/baby moon trip!

  • How many weeks today? 16 as of yesterday

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Avocado

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I'm still tired and wanting the bump to look like a baby bump versus looking chubby. Also, dying to feel the baby move. 

    Questions? Nope

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Our anniversary is at the end of May so we're going to the beach to celebrate. It'll be our first married anniversary together since he was overseas last year and we'll probably turn it into a babymoon.
  • How many weeks today? 16! How big is baby (fruit size or other)? An avocado (mmm) Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I want all the food. All the time. Questions? I'm still nursing my almost 10 month old and I'm starting to stress out about weaning him, having a month or two off nursing, then being able to produce again...any advice or experience?? I don't want to tandem nurse. My son is a boob-aholic and I think if I wean him, he will be less clingy and easier to handle (like the way he is with my hubby or when I'm not around). GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! I wish!! We have a baby who is almost 10 months old. I'm not ready to leave him yet and my hubby works out of town for 16 days on-13 days off. Maybe when he's home we will go visit friends or family during the summer but nothing too fancy.
  • How many weeks today? 14!  So excited to be officially out of the "danger zone" for miscarriage.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Lemon

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Looking a little more bloaty lately.

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Nope.  A vacation with a 2.5 year old is more work than just staying home!

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? A navel orange (?)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I am still getting over this cold. Coughing too much = losing stomach contents, which then makes me not want to eat or drink anything (because I don't want it to just come back up).  Baby symptoms - they are still about the same. I am starting to sleep better, so I have a bit more energy. Let's hope I spring back to full energy soon! :)  I think going back to my old work schedule will be very helpful, too.

    Questions?  None.

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Hubby and I haven't planned a "babymoon," but we have had a long trip at the end of March planned since before baby came into being. We are hoping to stick with that plan - Canada for about five days, then Seattle for about 4 days for an Anime convention before a long trip home. :)

  • Good idea to combine, @kcolly32!

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Avocado

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? I pulled a muscle in my back a couple of days ago and have been basically crippled for the last 2 days. Other than that and way to frequent crying I'm feeling pretty good!

    Questions? Anyone have suggestions for keeping my back in better shape going forward. I have a 2 yr old so heavy lifting is basically unavoidable. 

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! Ugh I wish! DH and I were talking about a trip to Florida or an island but now with Zika we're going to skip it. I am going to do one overnight at a spa with a friend just to relax and be pampered. We also moved out yearly summer vacation up to early July (we usually go mid August) so I guess that will have to count as our babymoon (plus DS :smile: )

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Navel Orange

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Only wanting salty stuff still, sweets make me nauseas. Missing dessert a lot. 

    Questions?

    GTYKY: (Stolen from Friday) Are you planning a "baby moon?" If so, when and where! We wish it's our second and don't think either of us can afford the time or money. But congrats to all the couples who are taking a baby moon.

  • @Bookhousegirlthe best workout I found for my back and abs is just doing planks. You can do them at home or the gym and don't take very long. I definitely find my lower back is sore the next day after doing them but I like knowing that they're helping!

  • @Snaps816 my OB indicated that this becomes a concern around 24-26 weeks, once the uterus is heavy enough to potentially impede a specific artery.  She said that if that happens you will know because you wI'll feel light headed or dizzy. She told me that basically if blood can get to your brain it can get to baby.  You might check in with your own physician about it though.
  • @Bookhousegirl I have been having back pain and what has helped me are a few yoga poses. I do some windshield wipers (lying on back, knees bent and feet placed on a rolled towel on the floor close to the bun. Move knees side to side, just to the edge of your hips, like a set of windshield wipers) to massage the sacrum and release tension. Then, happy rocking baby, cat/cow, ancient prayer or down dog, and forward bend.  You can add in planks and assisted squats too (leaning against the wall) or dead bug really helps your core (lie on back, limbs in the air, move limbs like a dying bug or sway them like sea weed).  Just don't do anything if it hurts.
