Re: Friday Ticker Change 4/21
How big is baby? Romaine Lettuce
Any appointments this week? Yes I have weekly appointments now. They are super short. Listen to baby's HB and then leave.
Symptoms? This kid has had some pretty painful movements lately.
Cravings? Bagels
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
GTKY: What would be your dream job? Interior Designer
How far along are you? 36 weeks
How big is baby? Papaya
Any appointments this week? I had one yesterday. We listened to the heart beat and talked about when to come into the hospital or for monitoring. Next week we will do an ultrasound to look at growth.
Symptoms? Some upper abdominal pain, sleeping all of the time, my ribs popped from baby pushing on them while I slept.
Cravings? Still orange juice
Rants/Raves/Questions? I found coming home outfits yesterday. One boy and one girl version of the same outfit because we are team green. The sales lady asked me if I was having twins! haha. I didn't realize that would be something someone may think.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
GTKY: What would be your dream job? I would like to have an event center that we rent out for weddings and such. I guess I would really just like to be my own boss of something!
How big is baby? papaya
Any appointments this week? Just had 36 week check up. Everything looked good. Cervix is still high and tight, so he's probably not making his escape any time soon.
Symptoms? Pelvic pain that makes it hard to walk
Cravings? Burgers every once in awhile.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Any STMs have any labor advice? It's looking more like I'll be able to try for my VBAC and I have no idea what to expect!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
GTKY: What would be your dream job? If I could have a job where I travel all over the world with my family, I would snatch it up in a second. I'd love to be able to travel and experience new places while still being with my family.

How big is baby? Pineapple, mini-lop rabbit
Any appointments this week? Next Tuesday we have a newborn baby class and OB appointment. Yesterday we toured pediatricians.
Symptoms? Aches, pains, occassional muscle cramps, my hands are swelling a bit for the first time this week, no sleep.
Cravings? Same answer, just what I can't eat because of GD, but honestly no.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just ready. I'm planning to start trying all the old wives tales tricks at 37 weeks.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green.
GTKY: What would be your dream job? Probably owning a used book store with cats. May be my retirement job. But at this time in my life, probably SAHM and working very part time as a nurse, which I'm doing.
@mspacman34 Yay for coming home outfits!
@KMD1106 Congrats on attempting a vbac!
How big is baby?
Any appointments this week? Regular check up next Monday, when I'm guessing I'll get the lovely GBS test and find out about preregistering at the hospital- all of that makes it feel so close!
Symptoms? Tons of baby movements
Cravings? Nope, nothing specific
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not this week!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
GTKY: What would be your dream job? I'm not sure. I think I'd really enjoy being an L&D or mother/baby unit nurse. Related to my current field (attorney), I wouldn't turn down a judgeship

How big is baby? Watermelon, half baking sheet of meringues, wintermelon
Any appointments this week? Chiropractor on Wednesday, confirmed the de Quervains and adjusted me and and baby. Just got back from the OB. I'm at a true 1cm now, but baby needs to drop.
Symptoms? swollen ankles and feet, painful arches, ridiculous wrist/ hand pain, I think thats it...
Cravings? Nothing really.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I hate to even admit this, but I was a little discouraged I'm not dilated more. I know I still have 2 weeks till my due date and even that isn't an eviction date, but its exciting when you're body is getting ready!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
GTKY: What would be your dream job? I was actually thinking about this on my way to my appointment for some reason... For years now, I'd like to open an upscale maternity/baby boutique with a bakery/ cafe.
1st Baby 5/12/17, Henry
How big is baby? About the size of a chihuahua or a ripe papaya
Any appointments this week? I'm on weekly visits now.
Symptoms? Nothing new since last week, but swelling is worse. Other than the carpal tunnel due to swelling, it doesn't bother me. No one really stares at my ankles, and there are women who pay good money for swollen lips. The heartburn sucks, but I can cope with it.
Cravings? Nope.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'll think of something later.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: What would be your dream job? I love being a teacher, but I mean sick of making barely anything with my two degrees. I'd love to have been an event planner. Realistically, I wish I had gone to school for a finance degree and become a financial advisor or accountant.
@nda_roxybabe I can totally see you having a boutique and cafe!
@MollyandD Your lips are swollen?

How big is baby? Papaya
Any appointments this week? I had one Thursday. Heartbeat sounded good. I'm measuring perfect. She checked my cervix and I'm 1 cm. I know all pregnancies are different, but with DS I was 1cm, the following week I was 3, and then I went into labor that night and already at 7 in assessment.
Symptoms? Heartburn is insane. Does anyone have a good natural remedy? I can't sleep comfortably.
I also had some mild contractions Thursday afternoon after my appt. I was driving with a full bladder, which probably made them feel worse. I had also had my cervix checked that day, which I think can cause contractions. Needless to say, I think the dilation combined with contractions was the jump start that DH needed to make some progress in the nursery this weekend.
Cravings? White cherry Icee
Rants/Raves/Questions? The secretaries in my office joke how they want my water to break at work. It's unnerving.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
GTKY: What would be your dream job? In my current field (attorney), I think it would be nice to be a mediator so I could have a flexible schedule and work as little or as much as I wanted. I also think event planning would be fun, but night and weekends would get old fast. I also like the idea of traveling with the family. If I could get paid decent to write a blog on travel, cooking, and planning parties, I'd be happy.
@skzw Tums aren't cutting it anymore. I love the smoothie ones too, especially the berry flavored ones. I haven't seen Fairly Legal. Maybe I'll check it out on maternity leave.
