Monday Ticker Change 3/6

HGRich · March 2017

I'll go ahead and get us started I think, since there are several of us.

1. How far along are you?

2. How big is baby?

3. Team pink, blue or green?

4. Appts this week?

5. Symptoms?

6. Rants/Raves?

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby?

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be?

HGRich · March 2017

1. How far along are you? 34 weeks

2. How big is baby? Baseball glove or bag of potato chips

3. Team pink, blue or green? Pink!

4. Appts this week? Thursday--regular ob appt.

5. Symptoms? The same acid reflux. Extremely tired. Can't breathe. BH. Really all the same and just a bit worse. Haha.

6. Rants/Raves? Had a nice baby shower this weekend. But I only got four things on my registry. It always amuses me how you just never know if people will use it or ignore it. I appreciate frilly pink tutus but I still need a diaper pail ladies! Also, fun story--DH accidentally let baby's name slip in front of his parents and sister this weekend. His face when he realized what he had done was priceless. lol! I don't mind. He was the one who wanted to keep it secret.

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? Baby shower of course. Right now all baby shower gifts are being put in the library since the nursery is not done, and it's getting out of hand. Lol. I'm swimming in the stuff though I'm so grateful for it all! Bought my thank you cards.

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? This baby will stick, so it's ok to make memories and journal about it. And the nausea will go away and you'll feel better! Also start the nursery sooner! Haha.

I just realized I forgot to post this. Thank you!

1. 34 wks.

2. Cantaloupe.

3. Pink.

4. Chiro today, OB apt & NST Thursday morning.

5. Nesting is out of control over here. My back hurts.

6. Rants/Raves: I just wish my 3 yo would sleep.

7. I washed all the cloth diapers, all the newborn and 0-3 clothing, the glider slip cover, pulled out a bunch of other baby stuff to wash. Basically got the whole room mostly ready. DH got the nursery rug cleaned and set up the crib.

8. Try to let go of the anxiety as much as possible.

KirstinH88 · March 2017

@HGRich Were his parents and sister receptive to the name choice?

HGRich · March 2017

@KirstinH88 I think so! It was on a list a long time ago so they knew it was a possibility, so SIL said "I knew it!" And FIL said "aw, it is little Lulu after all." And MIL said "we'll pretend we didn't hear it!" and those were the only opinions offered. But by now because of our secrecy I think they knew better than to offer anything else. Lol.

BecNJake · March 2017

1. 36 weeks!

2. Over 5 lbs I think? The size of a small baby!

M&Max · March 2017

1. How far along are you? 34 weeks

2. How big is baby? Butternut Squash

3. Team pink, blue or green? Pink!

4. Appts this week? Today and thursday-- today's went fine (NST and OB appt). OB was perplexed that I haven't gained any weight to date but yet baby was measuring big last week on the ultrasound. She seems convinced the ultrasound measurements are off like they were with DS. Fingers crossed!

5. Symptoms? BH - NST confirmed that they were happening and not part of my imagination.

6. Rants/Raves? Finally picked nursery fabric for a quilt for the baby's room. So excited! Now I can't wait for it to come in so I can decide which one will be the curtains as well as the crib rail cover.

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? We got one of the last few things hung up in her room (just need the item we ordered for above her crib) and I found some baskets I liked for her bookshelf. I also washed DS' old onesies from storage - PS. Oxyclean white revive as a presoak is amazing! It took out all of thestains and required zero work on my part. Just simply tossed in a scoop in a bucket with some warm water and left it. Then rung them out and put them in the wash. I'm obsessed now!

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? Quit waiting and get the nursery items picked out. Also, you're going to be tired this entire pregnancy - get over it and get stuff done before you are huge!

Lovable Bump · March 2017

1. How far along are you?: 33 weeks! Can't believe there's only about 7 weeks left!

2. How big is baby?: celery apparently haha

3. Team pink, blue or green?: pink

4. Appts this week?: regular checkup on Saturday

5. Symptoms?: insomnia, backaches, heartburn, fatigue, peeing every 5 seconds

6. Rants/Raves?: rave: I'm excited for our shower this weekend! Also, I've been checking my blood sugar the past few days and my levels seem to be normal! Hoping my levels stay this way the rest of this week so I can finally put this behind me!

Rant: I agree with @aboxofchocolates, I'm so over being pregnant haha

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby?: DH and I went to our breastfeeding class on Saturday, it was very informative!

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? : cherish every second of sleep while it's comfortable. Keep calm, baby is fine.

BecNJake · March 2017

^^^ Pardon my incomplete post above. That's just kind of how my day is going

1. How far along are you? 36 weeks!

2. How big is baby? I think over 5 lbs now- size of a small baby

3. Team pink, blue or green? Team blue! My second baby boy! They will be 19 months apart

4. Appts this week? I have an appointment tomorrow! GBS test, so its kind of a big one for me. It was difficult to be hooked up to an IV during my last l&d. I want to be able to move around more. I've been taking probiotics and probiotic-rich foods to try my best to test negative. We will see!

5. Symptoms? Low back spasms, peeing every few minutes and acid reflux.

6. Rants/Raves? My biggest complaint in life is that everytime I sit down to pee my low back spasms and hurts like crazy. I swear by the time I wash my hands the warm water makes me have to pee again. Even if I have to pee just like a teaspoon amount I absolutely have to go to the bathroom that very moment. Ahh the last month of pregnancy, such a beautiful time!

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? I got a BOB double running stroller in like new condition for $275, so I'm feeling pretty amazing about that find. Also got the nursery ready for a second occupant and cleaned the car seat!

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? Go back to sleep! The first trimester is hard. Be easier on yourself! Also this pregnancy is a LOT easier than your first time around, so stop worrying!

@hgrich "GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? This baby will stick, so it's ok to make memories and journal about it."

THIS. I was SO afraid to be happy for so long. I had 4 viability scans even before the 12 week scan and sobbed my heart out of relief every time I saw the heartbeat. And even since, I only started to relax as I got through that fluid scare at 30 weeks. I basically spent 3/4 of my pregnancy terrified of losing him

Nolegirl1185 · March 2017

I hope its okay that I can continue these

1. How far along are you? 8 days pp or what would have been 36 weeks and 5 days

2. How big is baby? he was 5 lbs 9 oz at his ped apt Wednesday. We go again on Monday.

3. Team pink, blue or green? blue

4. Appts this week? post partum check up and getting my staples removed on Monday, baby Jordan also has an apt to check in on his bilirubin levels and weight gain/loss

5. Symptoms? minimal swelling in feet/ankles still BUT I have spaces between my toes again lol! incision site is still a bit sore and it hurts like a bitch every time I cough, which is still 4905659040 times a day from the flu remnants

6. Rants/Raves? Rant: breastfeeding sucks right now Rave: my gosh, I just love my little man SO much

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? umm...after 3 stores we finally found 1 package of preemie clothes and bought some preemie diapers

8. GTKY: If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? enjoy the "exhaustion" you feel now and the hard days of feeling sick because they aren't anything compared to what your third trimester will put you through

aboxofchocolates · March 2017
