Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 4/13
How many weeks and how big is baby? 15w: Avocado-ish
Current symptoms? Moodiness, headaches, RLP
Rants/Raves/Questions? I keep complaining to DH that certain outfits/shirts make me look pregnant. His response, “honey, you are pregnant.” But I don’t feel pregnant, just fluffy! Doctor appointment today, no ultrasound but hopefully I get to hear the heartbeat! I always get nervous before doctor appointments.
GTKY: In the name of the 13th, do you (or your family/culture) have any superstitions? I can’t think of any! Although, in Jewish culture you are not supposed to name a baby after a living relative and I am named after my mom who is very much alive so maybe I am a bad apple?
How many weeks and how big is baby? 15! yellow canary, avocado, navel orange
Current symptoms? Braxton-Hicks contractions! At least a few times a week. What I only assume is RLP. Lots of cramps, twinges and pains in my both my back and lower abdomen. Sciatica is also acting up although i think the prenatal yoga is helping. And still lots of fatigue. Past few days I've had some waves of queasiness again after I eat.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I always get anxious for my next dr. appt. which isn't for another week (next friday). Then I'll get to set up my 19 week anatomy scan! SO EXCITED!
GTKY: In the name of the 13th, do you (or your family/culture) have any superstitions? In Italian culture, we have malocchio which is the "evil eye." Basically, if someone looks at you with envy/jealousy they can curse you, causing bad luck, headaches, etc. An italian horn is given to a baby at birth, the theory being that when visitors come to see the baby, they will divert some of their attention to the horn, thus sparing the baby of envious glare. If you get cursed, someone has to perform a ritual for you in order to get rid of it . The ritual (which my great grandmother did for many of my relatives) involves placing water in a bowl, saying prayers, and dripping olive oil into the bowl of water. If the oil mixes with the water and disperses in the bowl (which water and oil should never do based on their properties), then that person does have malocchio. In that case, they must dump the bowl and start again. You keep doing this over and over again until the oil and water act like they're supposed to, staying separate. Then the malocchio is cured.
Current symptoms? Headaches and dry, itchy skin! My eating and fatigue is mostly back to normal levels (assuming I didn't just jinx myself!)
Rants/Raves/Questions? I would like to look pregnant...instead of looking like I just really like ice cream.
GTKY: In the name of the 13th, do you (or your family/culture) have any superstitions? Hmm, can't think of any superstitions, but I was born on Friday the 13th!
