This thread is for updating everyone on the day you change to a new week. For example, If your ticker changes on Tuesday, you can answer the bold questions on Tuesday. (If you forget, just post of whatever day you remember.) Everyone will feel free to comment and make conversation with those not in your daily ticker change!
How far along are you?
How big is baby (babies)?
Upcoming appointments this week?
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring?
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were really really good days. I had increased energy and almost no nausea. I thought briefly, Yay, 2nd tri! Nope...nausea back with a vengeance this morning.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just ready for this nausea/barfing to be a thing of the past. Also, 4 weeks is so long between appointments! GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I really like all of Emma Watson's movies. She's just so smart and beautiful and talented, basically my heroine. Also, Will Smith's movies are always fantastic. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? The warmth after winter is so refreshing. Saturday I had all the windows to the house open and it was beautiful weather outside.
How big is baby (babies)? a box of 8-count crayons
Upcoming appointments this week? nope, just waiting for the results from my one-hour glucose test last week, and my cell free DNA test the week before that.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Atomic heartburn, and lots and lots of abdominal, back, and pelvic aches and pains. Everything is stretching down there a lot.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have to rave on my DH a bit. He not only went maternity clothed shopping with me this weekend, but he sat while I tried on about 17 pairs of jeans, and was sweet about the whole thing and how unsure I felt about how clothes look on my changing body, even though I know he had to be bored.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I don't know if he's my most favorite, I'd never really though about it, but I do love a good Tom Hanks movie. A League of Their Own, Apollo 13, Forrest Gump...he's amazing in most of my favorite movies from the 90's.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Living in SoCal, we're actually about to embark on a few of our colder, foggier months. But when I loved somewhere with seasons, I loved the warming weather, getting my garden in order, and wildflowers appearing in the side of the road.
Had an appointment today, heard the baby's heartbeat.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
Round ligament pain has begun. I called the on-call over the weekend after almost passing out on Sunday when the pain hit suddenly. Hasn't subsided yet, it's the strangest feeling to feel dizziness when I am sitting and laying down. Also lemon bars, and I have become my outgoing self again. My co-worker who doesn't know commented, "I was worried you didn't have a personality."
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone been waxing? I have been too lazy to go, but have a trip coming up. Anyone have experience, I hear it can be more painful? GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I don't know if I have a favorite, but lately I have been watching a lot of Leslie Mann. I just love her, and her family. I just want to have dinner with them. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Gardening! My little seedlings are getting strong!
How far along are you? 14 weeks! Hello second trimester ❤
How big is baby (babies)? A tomato
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one yesterday.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? My teeth finally stopped hurting! Praise the good Lord!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'll rant/rave today. With my insurance I have to go have my blood drawn somewhere else instead of the drs office. And I had to have a glucose test done early because of my first baby. Well the place I went to have it done lost all of my results and tests. So i have to redo everything. And not only that but my dr (who is amazing!) went to great trouble trying to get these results. I mean he really went above and beyond and on his time off too! He is a awesome dr and I wish everyone could have someone who cares so much about their patients.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? My favorite is Kathy bates! I adore her!
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? This can be my FFFC I don't like spring.. my allergies go bonker and my black car turns yellow
No, I had one last week and they think I have a placental tear so I may go on bed rest at my next appointment
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
Round ligament pain! And I still have morning sickness sometimes and bad food adversions
Rants/Raves/Questions? I really need to graduate (in 6 weeks ) before they put me in bed rest (possibly in 2 weeks) and I'm FREAKING OUT! If I can't finish practicum I can't graduate until after he's born and I finish my hospital hours. GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I watch tv and movies but I'm not really in to know who all the actors are. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? My birthday!!! (It's Wednesday the 22nd)
Upcoming appointments this week? Monthly check in tomorrow!
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Vomitting is becoming more frequent, but has no associated nausea, just ohhh there's a toilet you gotta puke in it.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have ants in my pants to get the results back from my MaterniT21 test! I'm so ashamed I called them to make sure they got my blood
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Hmmmm Robin Williams. I guess the obvious reasons, ability to play so many different roles and so well. Plus he was such a brilliant mind!
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? cant pick one thing! Once the snow melts I'll probably have an answer in this
@thinkpositive2017 I'm also a FTM, but our hospital tour is bundled into the childbirth classes offered by our hospital. Based on when we chose to do our classes, our tour will be around 32 weeks.
How far along are you? 16 weeks (Sunday)!
How big is baby (babies)? Avocado or action figure
Upcoming appointments this week? This morning, but another 4 weeks until my next ultrasound.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Slowly starting to eat like a normal person again, but still no cravings or real aversion. Nausea has subsided for the most part but the gagging still bad as ever.
Rants/Raves/Questions? It's beautiful out today. It's supposed to get cold again tomorrow so I'll take the warmth while I can!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Another vote for Robin Williams. He's just amazing.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Warm weather and more walks outside with the furkid.

How big is baby (babies)? This is creepy.. a Philippine Tarsier
Upcoming appointments this week? This Friday! Just a doppler and checkup I think, and scheduling A/S and fetal echo
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Most have gone away, just struggling with weight gain and feeling fat, bloated, gassy
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am OBSESSED with listening to baby girl's HB. She moves around and kicks it and I love it even though I can't feel it yet! DH seems like he's having a hard time being excited for a girl.. he really wanted a boy. This is a weird place for us because he was so into shopping and looking before and now he's all blah about it and doesn't want to look at girl crib sheets.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I'm similar to @cats*in*space in that I don't really have a favorite.. but I'll say Robin Williams and Emma Watson!
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? I love the bluebonnets blooming, the sound of leaves rusting when the wind blows, and the smell after it rains!

Rants/Raves/Questions? We have dish network and they are on a blackout with ABC going on 3 weeks now. I have missed 2 episodes of grey's anatomy and the premier of DWTS! They need to get this junk figured out soon!!!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I love Sandra Bullock. She used to own a beach house down the street from us and she's super nice in real life and I like a lot of not most of her movies.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Spring basically means summer here, so for us that means beach days!!!
Upcoming appointments this week? None Though I did get my maternit21 test results back via portal
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? So phlemmy that makes me gag in the morning some. Super sensitive nips. Heartburn and super aversion to smells and food.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Maybe Helen Miran (she is pretty BA), or Ryan Reynolds (so funny!), or Marky Mark
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Well spring won't hit her for a good while longer (maybe June). But I do love when people sorta come out from hibernation and the weather is good enough to not plan wardrobe around the cold...and just the freshness of spring. Also we go on a trip most every spring so I am excited about that!

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Feeling more normal and less nauseous, still super tired. Not nearly as big as I was at this point last time which kind of worries me (I'm still fitting into normal clothes, but my stomach looks fat), but I was also eating everything all the time last time and I'm just not that hungry or into food this time around.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - DH had foot surgery last week and he won't be able to walk at all for 3 months. Sooo I get to take care of him and a toddler completely by myself. We are eating absolutely horribly because by the time I get DD to bed, I'm just too tired to cook anything so I make some frozen crap usually.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Johnny Depp I guess. He has a decent range, and I dig the quirkiness (and good looks).
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Oh I love walking outside and not being cold in the morning. I actually got to wear sandals yesterday. I was so happy.
How far along are you? I am 13 week(since monday, but couldnt get to a computer, and my mobile app makes half of my posts disappear so I just gave up, i stalk without posting lol !)
How big is baby (babies)? baby is the size of a lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? noooooo:(
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? nop, just the good old bloating !!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? why can't my belly just pop already ?!?! lol, at least id feel fat for a good reason ! GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I could name a few, but the first that comes to mind is Denzel. I love his acting game, the movies he choses to make/not make. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? 1. it means summers comiiiiiing and ive had enough of our minus 30 degrees C. ! I wanna go for long walk with hubby again !
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one Tuesday and got to hear/record LO's heartbeat
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? It's official. I no longer fit in my biggest sized dress pants. But it's worth it when I feel baby flutters.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I've now gained 14 lbs. Yikes. And I definitely need maternity clothes now, which is somewhat of a rave, because I'm excited about the comfort.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Tom Hardy... because... I have eyeballs.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Probably just the nicer weather, and getting outside more.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Bump is getting a little bigger and starting to feel baby move which is incredibly exciting and also so strange!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am getting really excited about the anatomy scan on April 7th. Haven't had an ultrasound since I was 8 weeks so I can't wait to see the little babe again!!! AND find out the sex! GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I love Reese Witherspoon & Leonardo DiCaprio. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Warmer weather! Although we are still currently very cold in MI, I cannot wait for warmer weather leading into my favorite season of summer!
Upcoming appointments this week? had one on Tuesday and got to hear the heartbeat ❤
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? not really. Very specific aversion to the turkey burgers we buy fairly often which is weird
Rants/Raves/Questions? not really. Wondering when we should transition DS to his big boy bed (a double). Right now he's in his crib which has been modified to a toddler bed. I want to do it soon but don't want to jump the gun
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Leondardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon! I love The Departed
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Longer days and getting outside! It's been so cold here that we never want to go out. There's also never enough snow to actually take DS out to play in it so it just sucks. I also like getting together with family for Easter dinner.
@MyNamesTaken do you mean just taking the toddler rail off? I've seen those convertible cribs that will eventually turn into a full size bed, but wasn't sure if you go from teeny bed to full size without something in between.....
@Cats*in*space Right now we've just taken the one side off so it's still the same size as a crib but he can get in and out. He's going to get the double bed we have in the guest room since we have nowhere else to put it and don't want to get rid of it. The crib does convert to a full size bed but we're just going to reuse it for this baby. I think he'll do okay in the big bed but we'll likely need a different guardrail since he travels while he sleeps I thought about a twin bed but I don't know if we need it?
@MyNamesTaken I have the worst luck. When I lived in Boston I was told that they filmed part of The Departed on the block where my office was about a year before I started there. Apparently, my co-workers met most of the actors. A year or so after I left, they filmed a Tom Cruise movie next to the office.
Upcoming appointments this week? elective gender ultrasound today!!! Eeeeek... 8 more hours!
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? nothing really new, same old nausea that comes and goes, so so tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? just super excited to find out what kind of baby I'm having today!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I love Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? yay Spring! I love the weather, and baseball season! And my birthday, and Easter... haha
A pack of crayons, an eclair, a yellow canary, a can of spam, the card board roll on a roll of duct tape, an avacado or a can of soda. ...I only have two apps but they all have a bunch of options.
Upcoming appointments this week?
I had a blood draw yesterday for another Panorama set... My doctor forgot to request all the tests the first blood draw and the second came back as inconclusive so hopefully third time the charm to test for the microdeletions.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
I can feel him move!! I'm a FTM but I'm at least 95% sure. It's super light and feels like a finger being run across my inside. It's only where he should be and usually when I'm sitting out squished. And it doesn't feel like anything else.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I still feel like I'm crazy that I think I'm feeling him this early. It is week 16 but I'm heavy and a FTM so I did not expect it. It took a few days for me to decide I really was feeling him. My mom friends have all said that what I'm describing is definitely baby. Has anyone else felt the baby move yet or with a previous pregnancy? GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I really tend to like Jason Statham movies because explosions are fun. Even when the movie isn't technically that good I always enjoy them. Also Chris Pratt. I'm super excited for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? I really love dandelions. I know, I'm weird. But I think they're super pretty and I get excited when they finally all appear everywhere.
@HollyGolightly09 yay you get to find out what you're having soon! Exciting! I asked DH if we could get an elective us to find out the gender before our anatmony scan and he told me just be patient
Upcoming appointments this week? not until next Thursday for a check up. No US =/
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Craving this amazing sandwich from my local deli and I think I might cave and eat one today
Rants/Raves/Questions? I went shopping for bathing suits yesterday since we're going to Palm Springs soon and I hate that I just look weirdly fat and I don't have a cute baby bump yet. Come on belly keep getting bigger!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I'm really into Nicole Kidman right now. I have a crush on her after watching Big Little Lies and the Rabbit Hole recently.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? All of the pretty flowers that start blossoming around my neighborhood. Makes me want to walk to work more. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to walk to work. I try to walk at least 3 times a week when the weather is nice.
My next appointment isn't until 4/6 Other than feeling an occasional flutter, no new symptoms. I am so relieved that the stomach ick I had two weeks ago has passed.
I had a positive evaluation at work today, and I shared with my administrators that I will be going on maternity leave in September. I had been stressed about telling them, but they were very supportive.
I love movies, but one actor or actress is not coming to mind. I also haven't been able to watch a whole movie without falling asleep for months, so that could be part of it.
My favorite things about spring are the wildflowers that are blooming in our area.
4. No new symptoms, but I do feel like I look pregnant now to others.
5. No rants or raves.
6. I love me some Tom Hiddleston. I mean, have you heard him speak. *all the heart eyes*
7. I love thunderstorms. Spring always brings amazing thunderstorms.

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? RLP is starting to get uncomfortable. Hoping the 2nd tri energy will kick in soon so I can stop being so freaking tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? DH has been talking about all the things he wants to teach baby. It's pretty great.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? That is a tough question. I'm a pretty big fan of old movies, so I like Bogart a lot. I also like most of Julia Roberts movies. Honestly, I just like movies and TV.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? We don't really have seasons in South Texas. I'll second that it's less hot than summer. I do enjoy that. I also like that it means the school year is winding down and DH will be home for summer soon.
How big is baby (babies)? Ticker says the size of a soda can. ETA- I kind of miss the cinnamon roll from last week, though. That thing looked delicious!
Upcoming appointments this week? Monday. 16w appt combined with an early GD test. My midwife thinks I'm fat, and that I'm going to have GD bc she thinks I'm fat. And type 2 diabetes, even though my random sugar blood test was totally normal (but thankfully she hasn't outright said that to me.. yet). I'm going to conveniently start seeing some of the other midwives after this appt.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? My back. Holy shit, my back hurts so much. The nausea comes and goes now, but my back... having a 26lb toddler probably doesn't help. My abs hurt a lot, too, but this is my second kid, so I'm guessing it's all related.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I thought I had passed the worst of the nausea/ firs tri icks. I was apparently wrong. I've lost 5-7lb since I got pregnant, which I normally wouldn't complain about, but I would have settled for maintaining. I didn't start gaining with DS until later in second tri, so not gaining yet is pretty normal for me, at this point. But I'd like my appetite back.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Favorite bc they're hot, or because they act well? Althought I'm not a major fan of any of these ladies normally, I'm really digging Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and what's her name from the Divergent movies. They're doing an awesome job in the tv adaptation of Big Little Lies.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Being able to go hiking and kayaking again!! And eating meals on the back porch!
@ColoradoHiker I'm loving Big Little Lies so much. I'm sad it's just a mini series. I know it's based off of a book which is why it's only a mini series... but it's so good.
How far along are you? 13 weeks! Officially out of 1st tri! Woo-hoo!
How big is baby (babies)? Peach
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Had NT scan, 12 week appt, and all my labs done last Friday.
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? I've had another bad headache and nausea again today. Gah.
Rants/Raves/Questions? It was so fun to see baby at the NT appt. S/he is already moving around so much! I can't wait for the 20 week US!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I like JGL because...well, because he's a good actor and he's also hot. Ditto Matt Damon. I
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Warmer weather! I like the cold of winter for December. Then I'm over it. ETA: Baseball season! I'm sooooooo excited Opening Day is 11 days away! I'm trying to convince DH that we should go to Opening Night. :-D
Re: Weekly Ticker Change - 3/20
Just ready for this nausea/barfing to be a thing of the past. Also, 4 weeks is so long between appointments!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?
I really like all of Emma Watson's movies. She's just so smart and beautiful and talented, basically my heroine. Also, Will Smith's movies are always fantastic.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring?
The warmth after winter is so refreshing. Saturday I had all the windows to the house open and it was beautiful weather outside.
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? I don't know if he's my most favorite, I'd never really though about it, but I do love a good Tom Hanks movie. A League of Their Own, Apollo 13, Forrest Gump...he's amazing in most of my favorite movies from the 90's.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Living in SoCal, we're actually about to embark on a few of our colder, foggier months. But when I loved somewhere with seasons, I loved the warming weather, getting my garden in order, and wildflowers appearing in the side of the road.
How big is baby (babies)?
Upcoming appointments this week?
Any new symptoms or changes or cravings?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone been waxing? I have been too lazy to go, but have a trip coming up. Anyone have experience, I hear it can be more painful?

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring?

Q: For STMs, when did you schedule a hospital tour?
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?

Drinking coffee outside. Well, drinking decaf now...

I have ants in my pants to get the results back from my MaterniT21 test! I'm so ashamed I called them to make sure they got my blood
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?
Hmmmm Robin Williams. I guess the obvious reasons, ability to play so many different roles and so well. Plus he was such a brilliant mind!
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring?
cant pick one thing! Once the snow melts I'll probably have an answer in this
How far along are you? 16 weeks (Sunday)!
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why? Another vote for Robin Williams. He's just amazing.
Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Warm weather and more walks outside with the furkid.

DH seems like he's having a hard time being excited for a girl.. he really wanted a boy. This is a weird place for us because he was so into shopping and looking before and now he's all blah about it and doesn't want to look at girl crib sheets.

Spring basically means summer here, so for us that means beach days!!!

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? Well spring won't hit her for a good while longer (maybe June). But I do love when people sorta come out from hibernation and the weather is good enough to not plan wardrobe around the cold...and just the freshness of spring. Also we go on a trip most every spring so I am excited about that!

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? yay Spring! I love the weather, and baseball season! And my birthday, and Easter... haha
I still feel like I'm crazy that I think I'm feeling him this early. It is week 16 but I'm heavy and a FTM so I did not expect it. It took a few days for me to decide I really was feeling him. My mom friends have all said that what I'm describing is definitely baby. Has anyone else felt the baby move yet or with a previous pregnancy?
GTKY: Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?
I really tend to like Jason Statham movies because explosions are fun. Even when the movie isn't technically that good I always enjoy them. Also Chris Pratt. I'm super excited for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

I really love dandelions. I know, I'm weird. But I think they're super pretty and I get excited when they finally all appear everywhere.

Bonus GTKY: It's the first day of spring! What's your favorite thing about spring? All of the pretty flowers that start blossoming around my neighborhood. Makes me want to walk to work more. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to walk to work. I try to walk at least 3 times a week when the weather is nice.
Size of a peach
My next appointment isn't until 4/6
Other than feeling an occasional flutter, no new symptoms. I am so relieved that the stomach ick I had two weeks ago has passed.
I had a positive evaluation at work today, and I shared with my administrators that I will be going on maternity leave in September. I had been stressed about telling them, but they were very supportive.
I love movies, but one actor or actress is not coming to mind. I also haven't been able to watch a whole movie without falling asleep for months, so that could be part of it.
My favorite things about spring are the wildflowers that are blooming in our area.
