Re: Thursday Ticker Change 4/13
How big is baby? pineapple
Any appointments this week? nope
Symptoms? I hate how often I have to pee but only a little comes out each time. The first morning pee is glorious now just for that reason, even if I woke a few times at night.
Cravings? Nothing specific at the moment. Probably because I just snacked on something sweet :P
Rants/Raves/Questions? I shared this in the nursery thread but we finally finished the walls in the nursery! So I'm slowly moving the furniture back into their places and cleaning it up. Now if the decal that I ordered a month ago would just arrive already! I still have to finish some of the trims in the meantime.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? DH is working with holiday pay but he's taking the week off. We will probably do a little easter egg hunt on Monday morning instead, and just have a nice dinner when he's off work Sunday night.
How big is baby? Honeydew!
Any appointments this week? I just had one today and all is well. I had the GBS test done and will find out the results next week and I also had an internal this time. Baby girl is head down, so YAY for that! I'm 1-2 cm dilated and she's hanging out very low....so I've already "dropped". I'm on to weekly appointments from here forward.
Symptoms? Really annoying heartburn in the evenings after dinner, waking up in pain during the night when I turn over, lots of pressure that makes me have to use the bathroom often.
Cravings? Waffles with real maple syrup. Random!!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I bought toiletries today for my hospital bag! I figure it's time I get started on that.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? I have to work from 2-10:30 pm. I really dislike that shift but at least I'll get to see DD find her Easter basket.

BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!!
How big is baby? Butternut Squash
Any appointments this week? Had one this morning - things are looking good/normal. I did find out I'll be getting an extra ultrasound at my next appointment (36 weeks). They want to check my fluid level since I had so much bleeding in the first tri. I'm really excited I get to see her again before the big day!
Symptoms? More pain in my back and hips. Last night was rough...my hips were sore no matter what position I was in, and they've still been sore on the inside today (not a usual spot for me).
Cravings? Sweets! We have way too many in the house, but I love it.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really, for once. I'm just excited I have about two weeks of work left.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? We're probably just going to my in-laws for dinner, since we have nothing else to do. I'm excited for the future when I can do Easter baskets and egg hunts with my kid(s).
How far along are you? 34 weeks
How big is baby? Butternut squash, one of my favorites! Now I want butternut squash risotto.
Any appointments this week? None
Symptoms? Lots of huffing and puffing, she hasn't dropped yet so there's lots of pressure up high.
Cravings? Sourdough bread.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The usual - tired of people commenting on my size.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? I am having my family over and am making spaghetti bolognese. I am making extra and freezing it so we can have some easy dinners once she's here. I didn't want to take too much on so we are getting baked goods from Susie Cakes!

How big is baby?
Butternut squash
Any appointments this week?
I have one tomorrow. It should be uneventful if everything checks out.
Symptoms?
Acid reflux
Cravings?
Ice cream and carmel. I was at the store today and ice cream was on sale, so I got 2 different flavors. I put fruit on top of my ice cream when I got home so that's considered a healthy snack, right?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I had a really great time hanging out with family this weekend. H and I have been receiving baby gifts through the mail and in person and we're so appreciative of everything. I know a lot of people are excited for us to become parents and that makes me happy. I'm getting impatient to meet my baby!
The 2nd bedroom we'll be using for baby's clothes and changing area is almost ready. We've been using that room for storage since we moved in and now I have to organize and clean everything out that doesn't belong in there. Hopefully I'll have the room ready before I go to bed tonight.
Also if you have not checked out the "you know you're so pregnant when..." thread that got started today I highly recommend reading through it! It's hilarious.
Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team green!
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans?
H and I will split the day between both our families. I'm making a couple dishes for both gatherings so I'm feeling a little bit of pressure (something always seems to go wrong when I cook for a holiday meal). I'm excited to see everyone and eat good food!
How big is baby? Coconut
Any appointments this week? Nope, next one is on Tuesday and then weekly from there on out.
Symptoms? Heartburn so bad! Everything I eat/drink gives me heartburn. I'm taking the max amount of Tums already with no relief so I think I'm going to have to pick up something stronger.
Cravings? vanilla soft serve ice cream
Rants/Raves/Questions? We're doing a mini maternity/family photo session on Saturday and I still have no idea what any of us are going to wear! Yikes!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? We'll do DS's Easter Basket at home in the morning and I'm going to make bunny pancakes for breakfast. Then we're heading up to my Grandma's house to spend the day with my family and we'll have a big dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids.
How big is baby? Squash
Any appointments this week? Had my weekly NST today.
Symptoms? Still the mild heartburn and my right hip is always sore.
Cravings? Soda and ice cream
Rants/Raves/Questions? My right hip can suck it. So can charley horses.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? Going to my parents for dinner and she does an egg hunt for the kids.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
How big is baby? Romaine lettuce
Any appointments this week? Had one yesterday, just my usual weekly plus NST where I was registering a bunch of contractions. Fortunately they stopped after a while!
Symptoms? Just being very pregnant
Cravings? I got a frozen strawberry limeade just now, because it sounded amazing.
Rants/Raves/Questions? DS and I had a fun day together today, and right about the time he started acting like a monster, H got told he could leave work early. So now they are playing outside while I rest
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? We're being hermits, which I'm looking forward to. We're also getting DS a kitten. We had 2 cats but had to put one down a few months ago. The cat we still have wants absolutely nothing to do with DS and it's so sad to watch. So he gets his own!! Lol

Baby 2 - Due: 5/4/17
How big is baby? A 5lb 8oz pineapple!
Any appointments this week? We had one today where she did an ultrasound, so much fun! She checked the weight, baby is head down and everything looks good. And to top it off I'm 1/2 a centimeter dilated haha not much, but at least headed in the right direction.
Symptoms? SWELLING! My feet are giant balloons and all my maternity pants are skinny legged so I bulge out at the bottom.
Cravings? The usual. Chocolate covered doughnuts, sour gummy candy, burgers etc. I don't count this as a craving since I've eaten them this way since I was a kid, but DH thinks it's weird- frozen chocolate chip eggo waffles. The perfect treat when it's a little hot out.
@ChristinaWild that frozen strawberry limeade sounds AMAZING right now
Rants/Raves/Questions? DH saw how swollen my feet were and got down on the floor to loosen my sandals unprompted at the doctors office. Love that man. He also called Sunday on his way back from town saying that he was bringing home tacos, my favorite food, and guac! He doesn't like Mexican food (crazy right?!) so he went just for me. Again, I love that man.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? To actually go to Church. We've been really bad about going since we moved...almost 5 years ago...planning/hoping to go more with this new LO. I used to go weekly but the Church here is a little further and Mass times aren't as convenient. Plus I usually go in to work on Sundays. It'll be nice to be back for Easter!
never sure if I should post in the Thursday ticker because technically it changes on Thursday, or the Wednesday because I'm a day ahead of the US...
How big is baby? Apparently a rack of ribs
Any appointments this week? Had a checkup and US a couple days ago, all is well, LO is measuring nearly 38w @ approx 7lb and is very uncooperative.
Symptoms? Just assume all of them.
Cravings? Not much actually.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Can't think of anything of the top of my head.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Sunday night dinner at the IL's and lunch on Monday with my dad and aunt, Monday is also H's birthday.
planning on doing a little Easter egg hunt for DS, otherwise I'm enjoying H having a 4 day weekend :-)

@MiaQuiche84 those sound so comfy and I really like ADIDAS. Unfortunately, I also have plantaris fasciitis and it's been flaring up more than usual this past month. I've found that wearing flats makes my feet hurt more. Tennis shoes or riding boots are more comfy.
36w (and two days because I'm late here)
How big is baby?
according to @march2008 it's a honeydew! And actually, more specifically, the midwife felt around and thought the baby might be 6 lbs already, which would be great (I tend to make small babies and my smaller one didn't do that well in the beginning because he was so weak/small...then again, they also said 6 lbs at my 36 wk appointment then, and each person I saw after that kept saying 6 lbs each week and he came out just over 6 lbs. Maybe he stopped growing at the end? I hope this one comes out 7.5 lbs like his/her older sister.)
Any appointments this week?
I had one on Thursday. It went well and the midwife guessed baby is 6lbs.
Symptoms?
Feeling like there is not a lot of space in there--pressure on ribs and on pelvis at the same time. Heartburn re-emerged last night. SPD is trucking along but not terrible.
Cravings?
none, but I am hungry right now, just not sure for what.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
DH is getting scared to have sex, though I asked the midwife and she said it would not induce / speed things up unless you're already really close anyway (like it could help you by 1 day). Not that I find sex remotely easy, but I do still have a somewhat enhanced drive and I would like to leave open the possibility, esp if we can find the right position (the last two we've tried don't give me orgasms.)
In other news, we have been trying to buy a new car (well, preferrably used). We got close a couple of times but then there was some problem with the car. I'm getting so sick of it because I'm the main one doing it and it's taking a LOT of time. We are very picky in what we want, though (manual transmission station wagon, NOT suv/crossover), and there are very few vehicles to match it. I hope we find the right thing soon.

GTKY: Do you have Easter plans?
My parents were going to be driving in (from 3.5 hrs away) but my dad is sick. My mom is attempting to come on her own. I hope it works out ok. We told her to take the train but she is driving anyway and I feel like it might be a bit much. I'm sure she'll also be worried about whether my dad can take care of himself in her absence. So anyway the trip is a little screwed up because of that. The plan is we'll have Easter dinner with my mom and DH's parents and brother.
