Re: Tuesday Ticker Change Check In
What's new with baby (size, development): Baby is the size of a sweet pea, ~1/4in. He/she is circulating blood, starting to sprout prominent facial landmarks, and starting to flip his/her little flippers!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: I finished our handwritten announcements and will start sending those out to our families and close friends since we still live so far away. H had a great idea and I ran with it. There's no guessing involved but it's a Navy thing, so I feel like we'll have to explain it to at least a few people.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
***TMI*** I'm still having a little bit of brown-tinged CM, which I'm reading online is generally the color of "that? don't worry about that." Minimal cramping, hunger and thirst, boobs are sore and bloat is happening. The boobs and the bloat haven't been as bad the last couple of days so I'm also reading into that. My body has been playing this fun game of giving me a vivid dream about the thing I'm scared of happening, happening. First before my second Beta draw, then last night after the CM. My name is virginiaham and I'm still addicted to SS & ute goggles.
When is your next appointment: 6+6 (Monday)! My two betas last week came back great (2342 @ 5w1d and 5357 @ 5w3d) but my iron and progesterone were both low. I'm supplementing with both now and I'll get progesterone rechecked today.
GTKY: (stolen from Monday's!) Tell me about you and your SO's first date. We had been talking pretty seriously on FaceTime before our first date. It involved me taking him down to the waterfront in a seaside European town and then making him dinner back at my apartment.

What's new with baby (size, development): Blueberry! .5 inches. that sounds so big considering I didn't know s/he existed a few wks ago! Her little brain is growing like crazy and she's developing taste buds.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: We are house hunting. Kinda fun but really stressful for some reason.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I feel hungry all the time and then thirsty after I eat but then I'm too full to drink! Today I'm focused on drinking lots of water BEFORE I eat to avoid that problem. So far I'm doing well, 2 bottles down already. :-)
When is your next appointment: First apt April 13th (9+1)
GTKY: Tell me about you and your SO's first date. We went to the movies with a group of friends and after we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner just the two of us. Honestly I can't remember a lot of that night which makes me kinda sad! I didn't know it was going to be the first date with my husband and didn't file it well in my memory! As a matter of fact the night was just supposed to be fun with friends I had no idea it would lead to a date. :-)
What's new with baby (size, development):
Size of an olive! And is officially a fetus!

Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Have been telling some really close friends that were in from away last weekend!
my boobs have finally started hurting. My nipples have been sore since day one but now I can't have cross my arms without my boobs hurting!
morning sickness has been a lot better. Hits me hard now and then but has been mostly good the past few days (other then my wave of serious yuck while drying my hair last night that left me sitting drinking gingerale for 10 minutes before continuing on with my hair).
When is your next appointment:
April 21! We will FINALLY get to hear the heart beat. Ultrasound isn't until June 8. SO LONG!
GTKY: (stolen from Monday's!) Tell me about you and your SO's first date.
we had been friends for months and he kept asking me on a date. I finally said yes. It was right before Christmas and he was getting ready to fly home to see his family.
We went to his house to decorate a gingerbread house (he bought SOO much extra candy) and watched a Christmas movie. He drove me home right before he had to catch his flight at around 4am.
Now every year on Christmas Eve we do a gingerbread house and watch the same movie. Started a tradition for the rest of our lives! Who would have thought.
What's new with baby (size, development): I think I'm at blueberry now!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
Not much. We we are aggressively paying off our grad student loans and will hopefully have them paid off by end of the year. I guess that counts as getting ready, since I'd rather not be paying loans AND daycare.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Just tired. Always tired. So very tired.
When is your next appointment:
This Friday!!!
GTKY: (stolen from Monday's!) Tell me about you and your SO's first date

Had a dating ultrasound last week where they measured me as 6 weeks 2 days and I heard the heartbeat (116). Then told my family who were surprisingly happy and excited (they're not gushy people). We had told DH's family a few days after I got my BFP (3/7) since we knew they would be excited.

GTKY: (stolen from Monday's!) Tell me about you and your SO's first date.
DH and I met in 2002. Our first few months of hanging out were as just friends. Meanwhile I broke it off with my previous boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with my friends. Our sorta first date was a Green Day/Blink 182 concert in DC, with another guy who I'm sure felt like a 3rd wheel (oops!). I just looked it up and it was the Pop Disaster tour, June 5, 2002.

When is your next appointment: April...something or other. At 12 weeks for the integrated screen.
GTKY: (stolen from Monday's!) Tell me about you and your SO's first date. We were both working as RA's. I was on call and couldn't be more than 5 min from my building. So we went to this little Thai place right around the corner. It was sweet!
