Re: Friday Ticker Change Check-In
What's new with baby (size, development): Apparently baby is the size of a sweet pea! S/he is starting to sprout eyes, ears, a nose, cheeks and a chin!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Continuing to sleep train DS. Although he was fully sleep trained before, RSV made everything all messed up again - so tonight we continue!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: MS is coming. I can feel that sucker in my bones (or my precisely in my stomach). With DS I would puke every morning right when I woke up. Last night I had to get up with DS and got so nauseous. Same with when I woke up this morning. This is not good. Thank goodness my sea band is coming soon!
When is your next appointment: Ultrasound on March 24th! I just had an appt yesterday where they basically just did a pee stick and my yearly pap. Fun stuff lol.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? I met MH in a bar on a Tuesday haha. I was unemployed right out of college and he has a strange work schedule. We moved in with each other after 3 months of dating, were engaged after a year of dating and married a year after that. In total, we've been together 5.5 years.
What's new with baby (size, development): they are the size of sweet peas, or Maine blueberries!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Freaking out slightly and researching the logistics of carrying, birthing and raising twins!
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: The exhaustion is unreal. I'm asleep in the couch by 9pm, despite the fact that I've done next to nothing all day. Still cramping a bit, especially around the ovarian cysts and having the tiniest amount of brown spotting when wiping - hopefully the other nights cramping/bleeding episode was the SCH evacuating itself and it will be much smaller on next weeks ultrasound!
When is your next appointment: Ultrasound on the 16th, f/u with the FMD on the 22nd.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We met working for a parks department of a local town after our first year of college/university. We were friends for a year, then he asked me out and we did the long distance thing for two years (I went to school in Nova Scotia, he lived/went to school in Ontario). We've been together ten years this summer, married three years this May.
Week: 6
What's new with baby (size, development): baby is the size of a sweet pea
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: just trying to stay healthy. I'm a teacher and I had a sore throat the beginning of this week and I'm really hoping it's just allergies.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Well, I'm really annoyed that I had my second beta done last Friday and my Drs office still doesn't have the results. I'm trying not to be too anxious about it, but I can't help it.
When is your next appointment:
My next appointment is Wednesday the 16th.
GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together?
My husband and I met at a wedding. He lived in Florida and I lived in Missouri. Once I finished college I moved to Florida. We've been together for 4 and a half years, married for 2 and a half.

GTKY: How did you meet your husband/partner? How long have you been together? We've known OF each other forever- he's been a grade ahead of me since elementary school & we've had some of the same circles of friends, but didn't really cross paths until we worked at the same store in the mall my senior year.
What's new with baby (size, development): baby is size of an orange seed or peppercorn. Also, the heartbeat should begin this week. Crazy!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: nothing new, just maintaining the healthy eating I dedicated to in early January.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I feel amazingly normal. I've had minimal cramping the last few days and have only been slightly tired. Had one weird bout of gas earlier this week, but have been great since!
When is your next appointment: March 25 for a 7 week ultrasound. Hope to hear the heartbeat!
