Re: Ticker Change Thursday - 9/8

  • How many weeks? 27 - kind of hard to believe

    What size is baby? Bunch of bananas

    Upcoming appointments? Regular appointment next Wednesday.  I have to do another one hour glucose test, which is a bummer.  It's also the last monthly appointment, then they start me on biweekly!

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm on vacation this week - aka sitting around my house burning vacation days so I won't lose them at the end of the year.  I've been so lazy it's wonderful.

    Symptoms? Sleeping has been hard, also I'm starting to burp a lot post-meals which is awesome.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) I'm a huge Green Bay Packer fan, I was born & partially raised in Wisconsin and most of my family still lives there.  I don't really care about college football, but DH is obsessed with Ohio State.

  • How many weeks? 26w

    What size is baby? A butternut squash or a bowling pin!

    Upcoming appointments? I had one today and then one in two weeks. Pretty normal measurements, heart beat, questions. I got the lab order for me to go get my 28w labs done at my convenience and might go Saturday.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I am having a hard time dealing with anxiety and emotions which is new to me. Usually I am very calm and level headed. 

    Question: what are some good non-dairy no-egg breakfasts for weekdays? 

    Symptoms? emotional, bathroom issues, sleep issues, headaches. back pain. ugh.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) I root for the Patriots/Red Sox because DH does. I'm not really into sports though. I do love the Orioles being a Maryland chick but I don't follow them or anything - I just like to see them succeed.

    Upcoming appointments?
    I have my second steriod shot this afternoon. Then depending on how each of us is doing we g from there.
    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    If we can make 30 weeks, she can stay in our local NICU!!! If we can't, my parents and ILs are less than an hour from the NICU she would be in.
    Symptoms?
    I'm tired, and seriously considering seeing if I can get some anti depressants/anxiety help. It's bad, I lost it when I saw a Thanksgiving onesie yesterday - because apparently I think I'm a failure that my body isn't liking E being a guest. She is wonderful, btw, measuring over 2 weeks ahead and was estimated at 2lbs 12oz lest Friday.

    I have always been a BSU fan, as they are pretty close to home. I have branched out into Denver Broncos as I can easily understand their plays and coaching moves. Although my ILs are all Seahawks fans.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?)
    I really dislike football, but will always root for the Bills.  Let's go Buffalo!

    @leksiL,
    For non-dairy, no-egg, week day breakfasts I tend to go with peanut butter on whole grain toast, or oatmeal.  Sometimes I'll heat up frozen pancakes if I have some leftover from making them on a weekend (you can leave out the eggs and use a non-dairy milk).  Same with tofu scrambles or breakfast burritos.

    @R0824H yes, they said they will keep an eye out for kidney or bladder infection and it should go away after the baby is out.

  • How many weeks? 27

    What size is baby? Head of lettuce

    Upcoming appointments? I just had an ob appt yesterday. Now, I go every 2-3 weeks. My nextappt is with my perinatologist on the 20th, then ib on the 28th. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Holy cow! 12w1d until we meet our son. That is unless he decides to come sooner on his own.

    Symptoms? 

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) I'm not into football. DH only gets into college football.
  • How many weeks? 28

    What size is baby? Eggplant (I could swear I was already an eggplant)

    Upcoming appointments? Not til 30w

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so tired and not sleeping and work is suddenly so busy and I can't think straight.

    Symptoms? Tired tired tired.  And still days of feeling lightheaded/dizzy.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) I don't like sports but I will say New England Patriots bc I'm from New England.  And I honestly don't care if they cheat.  What does that say about me?
  • How many weeks? 28

    What size is baby? Roller blade 

    Upcoming appointments? Just had a regular OB appointment yesterday. Next one the 21st

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 

    Symptoms?
    i think I'm starting to dilate a bit (yes I do cervix checks every so often hold your snark). Noticed this last night after my appointment. Everything I've read says they don't do much for a finger/ finger tip though. If it gets worse will be calling OB. Lower back pain and restless legs. Otherwise I'm great. 

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?)I'm from Canada so we have CFL. I root for the Hamilton Tiger Cats. But really I'm more of a hockey fan and can't wait for the season. Go Detroit Red wings  (baby Cassidy has red wings onesies already in her closet awaiting her arrival)
  • How many weeks? 28!

    What size is baby? An eggplant or a coconut

    Upcoming appointments? Nothing this week.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Both rant and rave - switching practices to a team of midwives  who deliver at a hospital that's much closer to our house than my current OB's hospital. Switching will be a pain in the ass, and my check ups won't be as convenient since my current OB's office is just a couple blocks from my office, but in the long term I think I have a much better chance of having a low intervention birth. Also helps that my doula had her youngest there and raves about the care.

    Symptoms? Hip pain, hormonal roller coaster, heartburn, fatigue.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) Not really a sports fan. The one team I do root for from time to time is the Atlanta Braves, mainly because my grandmother was their #1 fan and I grew up watching all the games with her while she hand wrote all the stats in a little spiral notebook.
  • How many weeks? 27, yay! We also have 12 weeks or less until we finally get to meet Rhett :)

    What size is baby? Head of lettuce

    Upcoming appointments? Appointment next week, regular and glucose test.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I had to go to L&D yesterday for IV therapy because of my MS. One of the worst parts of needing an IV for dehydration is that the dehydration causes your veins to be very small, so two of my veins busted while they were trying to get the IV started. Both hands and one of my wrists are nice and bruised up but the overall experience wasn't too bad. My nurse was super sweet and I found out that I went to high school with her sister. I'm really hoping she's there in December when we have the baby. :)

    Symptoms? Still MS, Rhett has also decided to bunch himself up in my ribcage so that's been painful at times. There are days when I don't want to eat anything and days where I never feel full enough.

    GTKY: With football season upon us - what's your favorite team?  (If football isn't your thing, is there another sports team you root for?) I'm not a big sports fan, although I guess if I had to pick it would be the Arkansas Razorbacks.

  • How many weeks? 
    28!

    What size is baby?
    A coconut!

    Upcoming appointments? 
    Today, Friday Sept 9th!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I finally organized a bunch of her clothes so I could start nesting and nesting I did! The dresser is packed full of clothes and ready to go! 

    Symptoms?
    So much nausea and heart burn. Ick.
