Re: Monday Ticker Change 5/2
How big is baby? avocado

Rants/Raves/Questions: started feeling the mini person move alot more the last few days makes me smile.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? Not much it's going to be hot were all going to be crabby. Only plus side is the baby comes when Summer is over. Summer dresses are cute too.
How big is baby? Size of an orange or cinnamon bun (which makes me want one)
Upcoming appointments? Nothing until May 26 for my Level 2 anatomy scan. I can't wait for that!! Had a dr appointment on Friday and heard our boys strong heartbeat. Love that sound!
Rants/Raves/Questions: The headaches and the one black eye floater are enough to drive me crazy. (Dr told me both normal in pregnancy --- BP is good) On a brighter note we finished painting our office yesterday and today I'll be hanging the new blinds and curtains. Our new furniture arrives on Saturday! Lots of projects to keep us busy till our baby boy arrives!
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? Not too much, just getting our house in order. Finishing our basement and getting the nursery ready. Maybe some day trips but no big trips this year which is fine. And my shower has been set for August so that'll be great.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I am SO impatient waiting for this a/s. I want to be able to call baby by name instead of "it"!
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? Lounging in the pool. I hear it is amazing while pregnant! Also our trip to Charleston...love that city!
Editing to add tHat RLP SUCKS! Just had an awful "attack of RLP" as I'm now calling it.

How big is baby?
Avocado or can of spam
Upcoming appointments?
I just had the blood draw for the quad screen this weekend and should get results today or tomorrow. Then nothing until the 17th when we have our next ultrasound.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
Nothing this week. We are going to a doula meet & greet this week so hopefully we like one of them and can get that squared away.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant?
Nothing in particular. Sitting on my patio with a cool drink, but that's nothing to do with being pregnant. I always want to do that in summer.
How big is baby? Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments? Meh. Trying to get in for an U/S this week maybe. Otherwise apt 17 May
Rants/Raves/Questions: I just feel HUGE. And tired.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? Well our "seasons" are reversed, which mostly means july is the coldest month and it might even get down to 70 degrees (f) in the daytime!

How big is baby?
Avocado
Upcoming appointments?
I have one next week
Rants/Raves/Questions:
i have a vitamin d deficiency, I've been taking fairly high doses throughout this pregnancy and no one told me to stop. Now dr. Google has told me my baby will be messed up. I'm worried but without taking it my level is very unhealthy.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant?
i guess I'll have an excuse to lounge around?! Not like my kiddos will let that happen!
How big is baby? avacado
Upcoming appointments? I had an appointment Friday and she is tucked in there and it was hard to hear her but she is fine. I lost 4 pounds so far, but I'm overweight so as long as I'm eating then all is good. A/S in 3 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions: my pelvis feels like it is ripping apart, not so fun. I'm tired and dreading how huge I am going to get soon. I dug up pictures of my last pregnancy and I looked term with twins towards the end.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? no, haha. We are going to get our backyard full of outdoor toys because I have to entertain my son and he loves being outside but I can't chase him up the playground equipment anymore. I am filling some weekends with things my son is old enough to enjoy now (zoo, aquarium, story time, toddler festivals) so we can get out.
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
Last time I was the only one on my due date, it was so lonely haha.
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
How big is baby? Avacado
Upcoming appointments? Thursday! I can't wait. And then only four weeks until our a/s.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had a monster headache that ruined my weekend but I've been able to find the baby's heartbeat with "MyBabyBeat" almost everyday now.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? I just have to find some water to lounge in. I'm not a fan of summer heat to begin with.
How big is baby? a pomegranate
Upcoming appointments? I have my anatomy ultrasound on the 16th then an OBGYN/results appointment on the 17th - thankful I don't have to wait too long.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope - as my mom says I'm just breezing through this. I wish I was feeling movements but not yet, or at least none that I've recognized as movements.
GTKY: Anything you're looking forward to doing this summer while pregnant? I'm doing a gender reveal BBQ on June 4 (assuming peanut cooporates and shows us their junk), and my baby shower is in August. Other than that, I'm looking forward to setting up the nursery and taking it easy since I'll be off work starting August. (Edit: I work at a high school but I'll be doing summer school which is why I am off starting August - it's easier for my department to be off Sept - Sept than a month into the school year).
How big is baby? Avocado or grenade
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow! First scan with the MWs and I am so excited to see her! Also, I'll get a real due date so may be a different ticker change next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm definitely feeling her now, not often, but probably at least once a day. She was moving a lot on Saturday night and DH felt her, too!
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant? Um, no? I guess I should think of something more positive to say... Maybe wearing dresses?
Also just to clarify in general:
I just meant it looks like a lot of us Monday ticker changers are having our anatomy scans on May 17. That's the big day I was talking about.

Feeling baby move a lot in the last couple of weeks! Always nice to know they are okay when you have to wait 5 weeks in between appointments.
GTKY: Anything you look forward to doing this summer while pregnant?
We will be taking our 5 year old daughter on one last family vacation with just the 3 of us before baby gets here so we are excited about that! Also my parents have a pool so we will basically live there this summer although that isn't much different from any other summer!
