Rant/Rave/Questions? Nothing much. It's been a long week as most of you know and I really need to work on getting more sleep.
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? I'm thankful for my husband who took the girls out so I could go through piles of clothes and start getting rid of clothes to make way for our little boy!
Appointments this week? Yes, finally! Anatomy scan and check up with my midwives tomorrow! It's been 5 weeks since my last appointment.
Symptoms? Heartburn. Always heartburn. Just get ready for that to be my always answer for the duration of the pregnancy, or at least until I give in and start taking zantac. RLP and a fair amount of baby movement.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Still feeling the effects of this damn cold. It's been two weeks now. Thankfully my daughter hasn't caught it, though. Knock on wood...
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? My appointment tomorrow morning! It's been ages since I was last seen, so I'm hopeful that everything is still looking good with baby.
Symptoms? some braxton hicks, RLP, tired some days more than others
Rant/Rave/Questions? the one super sucky thing about this is, I pee, walk bak to the bedroom and then realize I have to pee again. too bad adult depends weren't sexy
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? lots! definitely bean and husband tho. Hubs got the Christmas tree out of storage for me to put up slowly (it's exhausting sometimes) come to find out the stupid lights (brand new) didn't work which of course made me cry bc DUH it's the end of the world! any who, he got right on the phone with the company that made the tree and they are sending out a replacement light kit thing.
Appointments this week? none, just have to go for some blood work
Symptoms? I've been feeling the baby move a bit here and there so that's pretty cool
Rant/Rave/Questions? getting anxious that we haven't started our upstairs remodel yet. I know we have time but still
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? a local ice cream shop has an annual pint sale, which was today. so I am thankful for the 15 pints of ice cream that are now in my freezer
Appointments this week? Yes, on Tuesday is my OB appt
Symptoms? I get weird jabby feelings when I make sudden movements in the core or twist, I didn't have this with my first. We went hiking for about 2 hours on Saturday and I came home and needed a 2 hour nap... so tired.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I had a dental appt and didn't know about my OB needing to do a medical form so I can get basic teeth cleaning done! Ugh... had to reschedule since there is no way the OB office would have faxed the form in time. I felt so frustrated with how they handled it and I didn't have to deal with this with #1 in a different state and did not cross my mind that I would need it.
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? Technology! It's so much easier to talk to my grandparents who live overseas with things like skype and wifi calling.
How big is baby? 5 inches, 5 oz (the size of a turnip!)
Appointments this week? Nope, had one last week and all went well, HR is 150, baby girl is going strong!
Symptoms? Doc called today and apparently I have a UTI for the second time.... No symptoms AT ALL which is strange, since the doc said my bacteria count is very high. If it spreads to my kidneys I have to go to the hospital... Seems the antibiotics that are safe during pregnancy aren't doing the trick for me... Never had a UTI until two months ago! Has anyone been dealing with this as well??
Rant/Rave/Questions? Besides the UTI situation doing pretty good!
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? PRENATAL YOGA! Keeping back pain at a minimum and also preparing me for labor.
How far along are you? 18w (I feel like it's going by faster, but I'm sure I won't feel this way in the 3rd tri!)
How big is baby? Artichoke
Appointments this week? Anatomy scan tomorrow!!!
Symptoms? My boobs still hurt pretty bad most days, some cravings, exhaustion randomly pops up for no reason, and my sciatic nerve has been hurting today. Otherwise hasn't been to bad in the last week I think.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Happy to find out what the baby is tomorrow! I'm a little nervous because Dh isn't able to go because he just got a new job, so I have to go alone (not revealing what we're having to our families). When I had the anatomy scan with DS, they freaked us out really bad about his hands (he clenched his fists for every single ultrasound from 20w to 40w--I had extra ultrasounds to monitor them) so they thought something could be wrong. Even though they didn't really think it was anything more than a joint problem that may have needed surgery, it massively stressed us out and even after he was born (hands wide open) his Dr kept asking about genetic testing until he was big enough to control his hands and then later possible physical therapy since his one tendon was tight in each wrist. He is perfectly fine though, full mobility and does everything they should be doing, and we never did anything they originally recommended bc was not needed, he is just double-jointed in his fingers/wrists/ankles.
I did not mean to rant about all that lol, we just still get emotional about the uncertainty we felt after this scan so I'm just a little anxious about tomorrow.
GTKY: What are you thankful for today? My DH, DS, and this new LO. My mom for offering to help us with our car that's in the shop even though we didn't ask her because we know she doesn't have a lot to spare. And my Dh's bff, who has been helping us with daycare and our car since Dh started his new job today and won't be getting paid for another 3w so we're living on an extremely tight budget. Seriously, he is such a good friend to Dh and us, and part of the family for sure.
