Re: Friday Ticker Change 10/7/16
DH picked up the new flooring for the nursery yesterday!
This is the the first week that I've started to consistently be uncomfortable/achy all day. I'm also having trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position, even with my body pillow.
Next appointments - 10/12 with perinatologist and 10/13 with OB.
Favorite non-alcoholic drink is definitely coffee. Favorite alcoholic drink is wine. My favorite cocktail is a pisco sour though. Mmm.
25 weeks!
He is kicking up a storm constantly now, and they're getting so strong it makes me JUMP.

GTKY: What's your favorite non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks?
Sorry/not sorry I love my girly "fru-fru" drinks and white wine..
Wine all day.
26 weeks. The knot tells me the baby is the size of a bunch of kale... They're really struggling at this point! Like @HJMorgan my baby's kicks and movements have gotten ridiculously forceful. It literally felt like she was having a dance party last night...

Rants / Raves / Questions / Symptoms:
Uch I've started getting headaches this week. I immediately spoke to my doctor as I know this is a sign of preeclampsia but as my blood pressure is great and the headaches go away with Tylenol they've told me to keep an eye on it but not panic. Worst. Oh and my motivation at work is getting worse and worrrseeee.
When's your next appointment?
End of the month.
GTKY: What's your favorite non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks?
Oh man I miss my booze. My fave would be prosecco but I miss drinking different craft beer with my husband. He's a huge beer fan and always trying new breweries.
Non alcoholic would be another pregnancy avoid- COFFEE. Though I still have a cup a day.
I started getting pretty bad headaches also. When I spoke with my midwife she suggested I up my water in-take. Even though I was drinking more than the recommended amount. But once I started focusing on drinking more the headaches went away! I'm basically drinking water every second of the day at this point....
My only tip, have a designated cup for your water at home, a big one. And ALWAYS have it full of water. You'll habitually drink from it even if you don't feel thirsty. Do the same at work. Luckly for me I can order bottled water for my department and keep it directly under my desk. So I jist keep an open bottle with me at all times.
