Re: Saturday Ticker Change 9.3.16
35 weeks
What size is baby?
A mini lop rabbit, which definitely seems huge to me.
Upcoming appointments?
Tuesday is a midwife appointment and Wednesday we go in for a growth scan and diabetes consult with MFM. They'll let me know at that time if I have to be on insulin and switch to an OB (which unfortunately I think I'll have to do).
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing that I can think of this early in the day.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I'm super swollen, almost to the point of being concerned about my skin splitting open. I've been elevating, wrapping, and icing them but it doesn't seem to help all that much.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up?
A veterinarian, but once I realized I would have to touch gross things I was over it.
35
What size is baby?
Pineapple
Upcoming appointments?
Yep, every week from here on out! This week is waist down cultures and checks.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I feel like I'm 85 every time I get up from bed or the couch- my hips and back ache.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
so, so tired. And swollen. Natalie, I know what you mean about your skin splitting!
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up?
I always flip flopped between a psychologist and a music teacher. And now here I am!
What size is baby? A Durian fruit
Upcoming appointments? Thursday, cervix check & Strep Baby swab (: ugh, naked appointment.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I keep waking up with a super sore throat, and then it disappears. Ugh, I hate this. Plus every sound my current children make is getting on my deepest of nerves ... go work for Disney in the annoying sounds department and get out of my bed lol.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I ordered a pizza with BBQ sauce, Italian sausage, pineapples, and banana peppers -- it was so good. I also want a spaghetti burrito with a garlic cheese tortilla. And I want Thai food, but don't know of a good place around me ... wahhhh.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up? A teacher, a writer, an adult lol.
What size is baby? Braided Nutella bread
Upcoming appointments? BPP and NST, followed by an appointment on Thursday
Rants/Raves/Questions? Less than 5 weeks to go! I felt much more prepared for my first at this point in pregnancy.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Con. trac. tions. Many, many contractions.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up? The first female president of the United States.
What size is baby? A footlong sub (and now I want one...)
Upcoming appointments? Normal weeklies started at 34 weeks, so nothing new. Getting GBS results on Tuesday
Rants/Raves/Questions? I normally have a 60+ minute commute on mass transit, and the doctor told me last week he doesn't want me an hour away. Woo hoo for working from home! I'm getting SO MUCH MORE done!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Elevated heart rate still plagues me - ob and endocrinologist still don't know why, but aren't super concerned. Also, the crotch pain is unreal - "lightening" sounds so lovely. They really should rename it constant aches and shooting pain from hell.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up? A doctor - until I met second year organic chemistry and it decided that wasn't the path for me
What size is baby? The size of a Florida Pomelo, which actually seems more accurate than any of the other weeks haha
Upcoming appointments? This Thursday for a regular checkup.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Raves: I feel her moving so much these days and it is amazing. I was worried that with school starting back I would notice her movements as much because of focusing on teaching, but that isn't the case at all.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? @LizD317 I'm so with you with that pain. It makes everything so much worse.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up? I've always wanted to be a teacher. At least I knew myself at a young age, I guess.
34
What size is baby?
Butternut squash
Upcoming appointments?
Growth scan on Tuesday. Hoping little girl doesn't drop below the 17th percentile where she's currently chilling. Then OB on Friday for follow up.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
6 more weeks of work seems so long but I have so much to do between now and then so I'm freaking out.
DH is painting te nursery today/tomorrow. Yay!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
RLP but I bought a support belt and it's helping immensely. I'm still nowhere near the activity level I was a few weeks ago, but I'm not in searing pain from walking 10 feet. Carpal tunnel. I wake up and my hands are soooo numb.
I really want ice cream. And pickled eggs. (Not at the same time). Unfortunately my eggs need a few more days to pickle.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up?
My parents are teachers and I always wanted to be one. I veered from that path, but I always take teaching/mentoring opportunities at my job very seriously because I still love it!
BFP: 8/20/2018 - EDD 5/4/2019
taking with my little one and I hope she has big goals too. (I still have some things to accomplish for myself too though, don't want it to sound like I've given up
BFP: 8/20/2018 - EDD 5/4/2019
What size is baby? Celery
Upcoming appointments? Not again until 34 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? LO can't decide whether he wants to be up in my ribs or down in my hips and has been going between the two a lot.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? So very tired all the time. I am not sleeping well at all.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were a little kid growing up? A mathematician. I loved watching the Math Net show on PBS as a kid.
