Re: Friday Ticker Change 4.15.2016
Current symptoms? Boobs are still tender, some heartburn, general pulling/tugging in the abdominal area.
Rants/Raves/Questions? THRILLED to be at 12 weeks and to have had a positive NT scan yesterday. Another week or so to go and I'll officially be in second tri!
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? Resting and hopefully FINALLY getting over this god-awful cold. It's better but still not gone. We have a three day weekend and nothing planned, and I can't wait to just relax for a few days.

13 weeks!
Current symptoms?
Exhausted. Tons of headaches. My belly is getting huge! And my sex drive is coming back.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I went in yesterday for my 12 week check up! I didn't expect to see the baby, but my midwife has a handheld ultrasound device, so we took a peak! It was so amazing watching the baby just kick away, and seeing the baby look like an actually baby. We have had so much crappy stuff going on lately, but that totally helped.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
The weather! Michigan has had such crappy, gloomy weather. It's suppose to be on the 70s and sunny this weekend!

Little Miss Rosalie Harper--Born Jan 9th, 2014
Current symptoms? Really none! I have felt great this whole week and my appetite is finally back. That burst of energy has finally made it's appearance and I need it to stick around for a few weeks for my busy season at work.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else feel like they are showing too soon or too much? I look at some people at the same time as me (and FTMs) and I feel like I'm showing way more. It could me in my head.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? I'm going with my little brother and his GF to Greenville, NC to help him find a place to live. He just found out a few weeks ago he got accepted into PT school at ECU and it starts in May.

Current symptoms? Still feeling wiped out every evening. But, luckily nausea seems to be gone! Hallelujah!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've told my boss and team at work, so that's been a relief. Nice to actually talk about this pregnancy like it's a real thing!
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? Tonight my FIL is taking DS swimming, so DH and I have a few hours free. I've pitched the idea of pad thai and binging on House of Cards. I hope he goes for it.
14 weeks!
Current symptoms?
I feel like I felt the baby yesterday! SO and I were up late just talking in bed, and I felt a little something in my belly, and attributed it to gas. Then a few minutes later, I felt it again. It was very different. Not like gas at all! Can't wait to feel him again!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I hate that my instructors at my barre and pilates classes have me sit out the abs part of class. While some people know I'm pregnant, others don't. And since people can't tell if I'm pregnant or just fat, I feel so awkward just laying there during the abs portion of class.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Shabbat and pizza night tonight with my stepkids and SO. Then tomorrow I go wine-tasting with with friends for my best friend's bday! Totally spitting, but I'm excited to try out my "supernose".
@emmaaa, I have noticed that this week I've totally 'popped'. When I touch my belly, it feels different, like harder now...not just fat.
Current symptoms: nausea is imported but still having food aversions and indigestion; still waiting for that energy revival
Rants/Raves/Questions? Happy to be a bit relieved of the all day nausea but still missing being able to enjoy some of my favorite foods since nothing ever sounds appetizing:/
GTKY: We
16 weeks- size of an avocado!
Current symptoms?
I've had a lot of uncomfortable tightening in my lower abdomen this week. I'm attributing it to growing uterus and baby, but it is not fun!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Starting to see more mosquitoes around my house which is not fun. We live in central Texas on a river so we always get them really bad. Already reapplying natural bug spray several times throughout the day. But a PRO of this is that the weather has been so, so beautiful! Really loving the sunny days.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
This is my first weekend home WITH my husband in a month! Super excited to start moving my office (turning that room into a nursery), and to just spend the weekend relaxing!
@annabenanna I am so jealous you already felt baby kick! I can't wait!!
Current symptoms? I'm actually starting to regain some energy, and a little less nausea.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My Materni21 scan show very low risk of fetal defect, like 1/10,000. So that is a great thing. Found out we are having a boy. I am a little bummed, I wanted a girl. I feel so bad to even say I'm bummed, I should just be thanking my lucky stars I am pregnant again and have a healthy little guy growing.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? NO kids, and husband is working all weekend! I get this weekend and the beautiful weather all to myself.
14 weeks!
Current symptoms?
Still tired. But most other things seem to be going away. Sex drive is definitely back.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant: I caught a stomach bug! So did two other girls in the office. One threw up at the end of work yesterday and we at thought it was the takeout she got for lunch. She said she went home and her whole family had it. Then me and the other girl started last night/this morning. They sent me home early and they planed to close early after the last patient left. The office is only open till 1. We all looked awful!
Rave: lots of light movement. More than just flutters. Also my next appointment is Monday, fx the tech can determine the sex! My mom wants to do a little gender reveal party next weekend.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
I was planing to do some family time stuff this weekend and hang out with two of my girlfriends one night. But not anymore. Rest for me.
DS1: 5 ; DS2: 4m
Baby #3 Due 9/7/17
Current symptoms? Super hungry and thirsty all of the time. After passing out last week, I've been have spells of feeling lightheaded but I think that most of the time I'm just really anxious about it happening again and misreading cues from my body. It's been really frustrating.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I was pretty down earlier this week, I've just been worried that I won't be able to do normal things during pregnancy without risking fainting. But the past few days I've been feeling more positive. My blood pressure has been low during pregnancy, so just trying to drink tons of water, take sitting breaks, and snack throughout the day.
@emmaaa I feel the same way! Everything I have read says FTMs don't start showing until 18-20 or later. I've been looking pretty bumpy over here for awhile, and the past week or so it has become obvious when I'm not really working to cover it up. I asked my cousin about it who was recently pregnant with her first and she started showing early too. I think everyone's bodies just respond differently to pregnancy.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? Being outside, it's been so nice out lately! I don't really have much to do, so I'm looking forward to relaxing with DH and our furbabies.
It's a boy!

BFP #2 2/18/16
Current symptoms? Still tired all the time, can barely get myself out of bed and go to sleep early on the week days.
Rants/Raves/Questions? NT scan next week can't wait to see the little baby on the ultrasound. Blood test came back with low risk for down syndrome.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? Sleep and some extra time with the husband, we have had so much going on that we don't get enough quality time together.
14w0d
Current symptoms?
Fatigue is slightly better. Developed a really weird symptom - an extremely uncomfortable pressure in my lower abdomen /butt area. It almost feels like I'm about to have explosive diarrhea but there's nothing there. Maybe RLP?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I posted this in the appointment thread but I had my genetic risk assessment yesterday and it was SO cool. Also found out we are having a boy
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend?
DH comes home from business in Africa tomorrow so honestly I'm just looking forward to family cuddle time. We will also be taking the picture for our Facebook announcement.
DS#2 due 25 April 2019
Current symptoms? Gestational diabetes, and massive food aversions continue.
Rants/Raves/Questions? @emmaaa I have the opposite problem. I feel like EVERYONE is showing and I'm not. at all. Like, I'm down 8lbs since starting this pregnancy.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? I'm in love with the idea of sitting around and just being a lazy pile this weekend.
Current symptoms? Still the nausea. I'm able to get through the morning on one phenergan, then the afternoon and evening is ok. Progress! I hope it actually fades with this pregnancy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Totally showing at this point. I told DH that I think it's baby pushing my muffin top up and out, but there is definitely a firmness now too. I feel like I'm going to get way bigger with this pregnancy too. I tried on bras yesterday and it was like a brave new world of cleavage lol. Oh well. This will be the last time having a belly will be a cute thing so I plan to take advantage!
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this weekend? We have a baby shower and then a BBQ today. I am so stoked that it is finally nice outside! 70 and sunny! Spring is finally here! We'll be outdoors as much as possible. I just wish our local farmers market was going.
