Re: Monday Ticker Change 09-05-16

  • How many weeks? 33 weeks!

    What size?
    Celery or loaf of bread 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Just a check up on Thursday 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I really have nothing right now, besides wishing I could sleep better and get as much rest as possible the next few weeks. OH, I'm pretty mad that our changing table hasn't arrived yet. Amazon said it was "lost" but hopefully it'll be in tomorrow so we can put that together and our nursery will be complete! 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Exhausted. And all I want is sweets. 

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? Johnny Depp for sure. I've loved him since I was a preteen and he was on 21 Jump Street! I think I'd faint or make an ass of myself if I ever got to meet him. LOL. I'm not usually star struck, since working here at ESPN, I've had the opportunity to meet quit a few celebs, but meeting Johnny would take the cake!!

    Upcoming appointments? 
    no important appts, just the pee in a cup ones

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    omg... I COULD NOT fall asleep last night. I think it's bc I had caffeine late in the afternoon and took a 30min nap around 3. Anyway... Now I'm awake and exhausted. Seriously... My eyes feel like they're swollen bc they're so tired and should still be shut. I guess this is practice 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? some nausea but not too bad

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? Charlie Hunnam... And can he come dressed and ready for the pool so I can just stare and drool??  :D seriously though... I may go re-watch some SOA  today, now that I'm talking about him lol

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? 
    Just all the sweets, backaches, and peeing. 

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee?

  • How many weeks? 35!!

    What size is baby? A pineapple

    Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow I have my OB for my butt swab (strep B test) but tomorrow starts the weekly appointments :flushed:

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really - besides a few minor things I need to order online I think we're ready.  We moved the nursery around so now I can fit a chair which I'm excited about (just need to find one I can afford now).

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I've joined the cereal bandwagon! I have raisin bran for breakfast and a knock off cocoa puffs with marshmallows for my after dinner snack.  Loving it!!  I'm still icky with soft food so the crunchy cereal is awesome!

    GTKY: What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a coffee? Ohh this is a hard one.  I'd take Gerard Butler - but only so I can take him into the stock room  >:)

    tomorrow Dr in the am, Tomorrow again Ultrasound NST afternoon,
    Friday back to the Dr. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I feel like violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lol giant blueberry to be rolled around. I did get 80% of my nesting done my kitchen looks like no one lives here.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? i just want a frozen Mars bar but Nooooooooo I can't because that would make my sugars skyrocket. I have an aversion to dark chocolate it's just gross  

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? all you other ladies named hot men lol. I'd want to meet lady Gaga to see how her brain works.
  • How many weeks? 33 weeks

    What size? Celery... but he feels like bowling ball size resting on my bladder. 

    Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow I have the works...US, NST, and OB appt. I imagine OB will order some labs...my liver enzymes are stable, but still elevated, so they'll probably keep an eye on that. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I have to pee every time stand or roll over in bed. Every. F'ing. Time. 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I had to go to the more expensive grocery store today because I NEEDED pistachio muffins. I may have eaten 2. 

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it. I'm not a huge fan of celebrity on its own, but a lot of celebrities do a lot of interesting humanitarian things with their fame or $$$. 
  • How many weeks? 34 weeks

    What size? Butternut squash. I remember being like 9 weeks along and peeking ahead to this weeks update. It seemed so far away and now we are here!

    Upcoming appointments? I go in Thursday for a check up. They will do the strep tests then.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Raves: I just got a call about the lab work I had done for my itching last week and everything is normal. I'm very relieved. Rants: I have way over exerted myself the last two weeks and I am paying for it big time. I'm going to keep it very low key until baby comes.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I have no appetite. 

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? I'm a huge Miranda Lambert fan so I would love to meet her. I wouldn't mind Charlie Hunnam either @bnsmith85

    @LauraPCOS I found a great glider on offer up for cheap. It wasn't easy, I literally had to check the app several times a day for weeks until the right one came along. Good luck!

    Yay! I'm so glad the results were good @NicholeL16!!! What do they think it is?
  • @bnsmith85 thanks, me too! It's probably one of my many allergies! It's been kinda coming and going and seems to flare up when I get hot or am outside. Probably just one more sign that I need to start taking it easy.

    phew everything is okay! Who would have thought being itchy could be something more than being itchy.  I'm guessing offer up is an American thing - us Canadians get shafted out of all the deals :bawling: I would go used but no way can I get a glider in my sedan so I have to order something that either comes in a box or can be delievered
    Pregnancy Ticker

  • @LauraPCOS Aw man! I live for offer up. It's an app with local items for sale. I use it to buy/sell all the time. 
  •  @NicholeL16 I just realized I tagged the wrong Nichole in my last post.  She's probably all "who the f*** is this?!" Oh well! 

    We have buy and sell apps, like VarageSale, but I have no way of getting a glider home :/ the one upside is I have a recliner in the living room, I just find I sink too far back to be comfortable for longer periods of time.

    I'm tired or being pregnant, feeling pregnant, and looking pregnant.  I'm tired of being asked how I feel constantly and treated like I'm fragile.  I just want t be normal. 
    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? 
    All of my first tri symptoms have returned.  I have nausea, itchy scalp, extremely tired.  I also feel like I've pulled a groin muscle and have a similar feeling in my wrist. 
    GTKY? What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee
    Probably Jennifer Garner.  We are both from WV and I have respect for the way she still visits and advocates for her home.

    So I spent 40 minutes last night on some serious "downtown maintenance" for my strep B test today....ya she moved it to next week!!  :|
    That sucks.  I'm trying to decide how much maintenance to do for mine tomorrow. I feel like I need to be "ready to
    go" at any time now so I need to step it up on the maintenance, but it's so much work at this point.  
  • @MKJeffrey2002 @LauraPCOS I kind of did the best I could before mine this morning but it was so quick that I don't think she would have even had time to notice! It was seriously the fastest test ever!

  • My doctor won't even be there next week to administer it, her replacement will be and supposedly there are 2 ways of doing it:

    1 - the doctor does the swabs
    2 - you are given the swabs with instructions and sent to the bathroom

    My doc is letting the replacement decide what she wants to do, so for all I know I might not get the chance to show off my Edward Scissor Hands job!

  • How many weeks? 34 weeks

    What size?
    Butternut squash, large bag of potato chips (mmmmm...now I want chips)

    Upcoming appointments?
    Had one today (Tuesday morning) - all is good! Had an NST, got to hear baby's heartbeat for 25 minutes, including how it sped up during movements! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Stupid armoire we ordered for baby's room came with missing and broken pieces, so had to contact the company. Luckily, they're sending new pieces, but I wanted to finish everything this past weekend!! Grrrr.... 

    Also, this preggo carpal tunnel sucks. I am so tired, but when I lay down to sleep, I lose all feeling in my  hands and arms, which wakes me up.  It's just super sucky.

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still craving pizza like it's going out of style.  Not really feeling salad, but I make myself eat it. 

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? I mean, SO many!!  Other than a few hotties just so I could ogle in person, I think Anna Kendrick or Emily Blunt cuz I feel like they're just super fun and down to earth...and I just know we would probably become best friends. ;)

  • OK so somehow I missed the memo on a Strep B test.... I had no idea such a thing was done. Can't wait.  :s

  • @sportiegirl1213 I literally told the nurse I wished every prenatal test was that quick and easy! I did have a blood draw before it though, so that might have made it even less terrible. ha!

  • Had my NST and ultrasound today my induction is going to be 38 week 4 days well that's the date I need to aim for.
  • How many weeks?
    32

    What size?
    Hardhat

    Upcoming appointments?
    Yesterday - met the new midwife in my practice, and I'm not sure I'm a fan. It was awkward, but everything looks good. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I had to get my Tdap and flu shots IN MY REAR. I really don't mind shots, but WTH? My old practice gave me shots in the arm. The nurse didn't have an explanation and said it's just their procedure ... 

    Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? 
    Braxton Hicks. Never had them with my first, but now they seem to come around every few days to drive me crazy. Not painful or alarming, just distracting and obnoxious. BOO!

    GTKY? 
    What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee?
    No idea! But I'll be having a PSL thank you very much.
