Re: Thursday Ticker Change 4/21
What's new with baby (size, development):
Toy soldier! She is starting to practice breathing!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Buying some clothes but still not doing a lot.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: morning sickness is almost gone! I'm so happy.
When is your next appointment:
Wednesday.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? I went to my junior prom but not my senior. I'm not much of a dancer so it was semi enjoyable. I had more fun swimming at our hotel afterwards.
What's new with baby (size, development): Lime, small bump. I felt a lot of body stretching/growing this week.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Mentally Preparing
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: This pregnancy has been an emotional roller coaster for me. This week I really took care of myself and I'm feeling a lot better.
When is your next appointment: NT on the 26th and monthly OB appt on the 29th
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? I did! And it was a blast! When I was in high school our prom was after graduation so it was a free for all. The school has since changed the policy. My high school was party central. Think Dazed and Confused but in the 90s. At the venue, people were taking shots and smoking joints on the dance floor. After, we all went to this club that used to let infants in. It has since closed. At 5:00am the parents threw a "breakfast" back at the school to sober up all their drunk kids. Then we all went home to sleep for a few hours and then drove down seaside (yes, where Jersey Shore took place) to party by the beach for the night. When I was 18 it was epic. But now being a parent, I am pretty proud of my parents for handling all that. And I kind of can't believe they let me do it...or all the other crazy stuff I did. Damn.
What's new with baby (size, development): Size of a key lime, moving a lot, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, starting to look more like a baby!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Planning on how to tell our parents
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: M/S had subsided briefly, now back and almost worse than before. I can barely ride in a car without getting sick. I'm hoping it's just a day or two long symptom because it really sucks. Also super gassy
When is your next appointment: in one week for the NT scan. Can't wait to see our little bean again!
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? I went as a sophomore with a friend who's a year older than me. It was fun, but relatively uneventful. I went as a Junior with my now H and had a blast (Other than our limo breaking down and making us all late for dinner). The after party was at a mansion and they had an indoor pool and hot tub, there were probably 20 of us there and so much fun! I didn't go Senior year because H was already in college and I had gone twice, and most of my friends were already in college too, so I had no desire to go again.
What's new with baby (size, development):
Strawberry!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby:
nothing really, I suck.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions:
Still have a nauseated feeling most of the time. But doing better. My neck acne (wtf?) finally cleared up. I fear more in the near future...
When is your next appointment:
May 5th. I will be 12 and get a pap, blood draw, and discuss genetic testing.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories?
Out of my 4 years of high school, I went to prom for 3 of them. They were all pretty lame. My junior prom had an after party at a hotel which got shut down very quickly. But not quick enough for my best friend to down 9 shots and I played nurse all night.
What's new with baby (size, development): Petit Four, Strawberry, Ferrero Rocher (aka all things I want to eat)
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: not much. Making a public annoucement soon since it's getting hard to hide.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: RLP is the worst. Was up all night almost in tears over the stretching/pulling/pain in my back and hips.
When is your next appointment: Monday for genetic testing. May 5th for baby doc and NT u/s.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? Yes, went both Junior and Senior years. No good stories. My school was tiny so it was a joint junior-senior prom. Went with big groups of girl friends and no dates (pretty normal for my school) and was bored mostly. Loved dress shopping though!
Week: 9
What's new with baby (size, development): cherry or olive. It's officially fetus time!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Finally getting excited, I think we're going to easily pass a previous loss milestone this week.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: just the fatigue
When is your next appointment: 3 weeks from today - NT scan and Harmony test.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? Skipped both years. Was kind of against the whole system and was in a very awkward and uncomfortable stage in life.
BFP #1 11/06/15 - EDD 7/14/16 - MMC 12/14/15 - D&C 12/22/15
BFP #2 03/13/16 - EDD 11/26/16
What's new with baby (size, development): Size of an apricot or a plum. Practicing breathing, curling his/her fingers and toes, wriggling when I poke my belly (no I can't feel it, I just read that somewhere), and his/her intestines are making their way to his/her stomach.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Nothing really. Called our insurance company today to find out whats covered so that was informative.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: I can't handle this bloat anymore. I don't even know if its bloat, but thats what it feels like. I look 5 months pregnant and I'm a FTM. I thought that my blump was looking more bumpy today though, so thats a good thing. Otherwise I am SO friggen tired, and have been having some dizzy spells this past week.
When is your next appointment: Next Wednesday. Nothing crazy happening at this appointment, we get to hear the heartbeat... which we have been doing already every week with our doppler. I guess it will be nice to meet one of the midwives, but I don't think we're doing genetic testing so it's probably going to be a pretty boring appointment.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? I went to prom all four years, I always had an older boyfriend. I think I probably had the best time my junior and senior years though.
What's new with baby (size, development): Plum! If you poke the dinosaur it would have a reflex.
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: uhmmmmm...bought preggo clothes for work. That's something, right? Oh! I snagged the Tupperware shape-o toy for dirt cheap. This kid is gonna have all the same toys hubby and I did.
Rant/rave/symptoms/questions: what symptoms? Dry skin, a little body acne. Most of the nausea is gone, and I'm only mildly exhausted now. My clothes fit super weird now, so I guess that's a complaint.
When is your next appointment: ultrasound on Monday (yay, we get to see the dinosaur) and my Dr the following week.
GTKY: (Stolen from Sunday's post) Did you go to prom? Any good stories? I didn't go to mine, but I went the year after with some friends. It was okay, like nothing special. My boyfriend from school came down to go with me and I dumped him the next morning. Aha.
