Re: Tuesday Ticker Change | 05.09.17
19 weeks, crazy how fast this is going!
2) How big is baby?
Size of a mango
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
TBD a week from today, can't wait!
4) How are you feeling?
Pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, RLP and still tired. Heartburn is starting. And I've been nauseaous the last couple days and thrown up twice - one was definitely from heartburn, the other I think was from my prenatal vitamin (which is weird since I take it at night).
5) Any appointments this week?
None this week
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
I've been extremely anxious lately - Baby is moving but not regularly and it isn't big jabs/kicks yet. I think I may have an anterior placenta which could be muting the movements. I'll find out next week!
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most?
I'm dreading being so pregnant in the summer. I know I'll just want a beer or other delicious drink that isn't ok while pregnant. And being hot and sweaty all the time. I am looking forward to a wardrobe of maxi dresses! And a few fun family trips we have planned!
1) How many weeks?
16 weeks!
2) How big is baby?
Avocado baby! Yum! I think I want some guacamole now.
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
Pink according to the blood test! I know they're supposed to be like 99% accurate but I'm still nervous that the anatomy scan will show differently.
4) How are you feeling?
Still cramping alot...but I guess that's just how my pregnancies are and I gotta live with it. And having migraines daily..ugh..yeah that can stop now.
5) Any appointments this week?
Nope, my next one is June 1st
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
So idk if I'm just being a worry wort, but I'm super paranoid about zika. I went to go visit my family for a week at the end of April and didn't think anything of it, until yesterday I saw a warning from the CDC saying there have been a bunch of zika outbreaks there recently and pregnant women should not travel to that town. Not to mention it was super hot and I spent one day walking around the zoo in shorts and a tank top and multiple other days outside at the beach. I know I got bit by a couple mosquitos, I guess I just gotta hope they weren't infected. I called and told my doc and they told me to calm down and not to worry..but I'm worrying. I wish they would at least test me.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most?
Not looking forward to the heat and sweating. But I am looking forward to partaking in all the fun summer activities with DS. It's the first year he's old enough to enjoy playing at the splash pads and stuff.
Pregnancy #2-Due 8/24/17 MMC-01/09/17
DD-Due 10/24/17
18 weeks!
2) How big is baby?
TB says artichoke, but I don't really know how big that is and all the other app size comparisons suck this week...
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
WE FIND OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!
4) How are you feeling?
I'm good, really. I can't complain about anything.
5) Any appointments this week?
Anatomy scan tomorrow, I'm so excited I cannot wait.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
None at the moment.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most?
Considering I live in Texas, I am absolutely DREADING it. It's May, and I already got a heat rash over the weekend. It's going to be miserable. I'm looking most forward to my husband and I celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary in July and baby shower in August. Other than that I'm staying inside!
2) How big is baby? pomegranate sized!
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? team green
4) How are you feeling? great! Still getting sick randomly after brushing my teeth but I have begun to cook again! And eat vegetables! Yay! Except my midwife said I lost another pound even though I was certain I've started gaining....oh well.
5) Any appointments this week? nope I had one last week.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions round ligament pain, anyone?! Yikes.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? I had an October 2015 baby, and it honestly wasn't too terrible. I live in Michigan and summer is really hot, but I don't have horrid memories of it. It DID stay hot all the way until I delivered, and I was not happy about September and October heat. Just get yourself some good maternity tanks and shorts and go for your walks early or late.

2) How big is baby?
12oz, banana
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
Just confirmed today - team blue!
4) How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good besides come and go headaches. Lots of baby movement and AS showed him sitting pretty low head down which could be contributing to my tailbone pain.
5) Any appointments this week?
Just this morning AS. Now 4wks to check up
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
Hoping now that sex is confirmed DH and I will have more motivation to clean out the nursery! And sort of dreading the baby shower coordinating with both families. And starting a registry is really daunting but I can't put it off much longer!
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most?
It's gonna be hot as hell in TX and I hate mosquito spray because it leaves you slimy. So not looking forward to actually having to wear it this year. But I am looking forward to not wearing shoes, pants, or layers! I almost feel like winter pregnancy would be worse.
1) How many weeks?
17
2) How big is baby?
The size of a pomegranate, for which I have zero frame of reference, haha.
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
We won't find out until closer to the end of the month! Super excited for all the moms who are finding out in the next few days
4) How are you feeling?
Morning sickness randomly came back for the last two days, but I feel okay today! *knocks on wood*
5) Any appointments this week?
N/A
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
None this week
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most?
It'll definitely be a change of pace! Our two-year-old is a St. Patrick's Day baby, so I was pregnant through the fall and winter with him. But I'm excited—my mom is moving here in June to be closer to me and my sister, and the apartment complex she found has an amazing pool, which I know my son will love! Bonus: Last time around, we took a family trip to Mexico while I was pregnant, so I already have a maternity swimsuit.
1) How many weeks? 18
2) How big is baby? Bell pepper
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? Not green, but not sure yet on pink or blue.
4) How are you feeling? Great~
5) Any appointments this week? Nope
6) Rants/Raves/Questions It is the 25th anniversary of the release of Baby Got Back. I heard that on NPR yesterday - you're welcome
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? Fine, but I am a little worried about the October birthday in relation to the US school year cut-off. Wearing maxi dresses (if I can handle not having belly support), as I have never been pregnant in summer before.

1) How many weeks? 16
2) How big is baby? avocado
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? Pink, according to Harmony! Even though I still feel like they're going to tell me at my A/S that the Harmony test was wrong.
4) How are you feeling? Just fine!
5) Any appointments this week? nope, I have one next week.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions Just waiting super impatiently to feel movement.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? DS was born in February so this is going to be the opposite experience. Bring on the maxi dresses and maternity shorts. It gets pretty hot here in the summer, but not very humid, so I think it'll be fine! After all the rain this winter/spring I'm just ready for sun.
2) How big is baby? TB says a pomegranate, Ovia says a video game controller. Lol
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? We'll be finding out this month!
4) How are you feeling? Good! Some RLP, and what I'd call growing pains/cramps.
5) Any appointments this week? Yes we have one tomorrow!
6) Rants/Raves/Questions None really at the moment, but my bump is finally "popping" so I'm almost grown out of all my regular shirts. Ugh!
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? I grew up in KS but now live in WA so the summers here aren't nearly as hot or as bad as I'm used to, so it shouldn't be too bad. But I am definitely looking forward to some time at the beach, maxi dresses, and dresses in general. Pants are overrated.
2) How big is baby? Slingshot
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? Green team!
4) How are you feeling? Great! Getting dizzy here and there.
5) Any appointments this week? Had an appointment yesterday.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions Can't wait to get to the halfway mark.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? Not excited about being super hot. My boys were both born in the Spring. Ready to have a bump!
1) How many weeks?
18 weeks
2) How big is baby?
sweet potato
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
Team pink! Hopefully the ultrasound in a couple weeks will still confirm this!
4) How are you feeling?
Almost as if I'm Moynihan pregnant any more. I'm super hungry though and I've had some movement I've been feeling.
5) Any appointments this week?
Nope
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
Wish I could feel this little one more. I don't know if she is just way more chill than the other kids or if maybe the placenta is anterior, but the movement I've felt is super mild.
7) I'm kinda excited to be pregnant over the summer. At first I wasn't keen on the idea of wearing dresses all the time, but as time goes on I'm feeling The most comfortable in a dress so that's a plus. Also, I know chilling in the water is gonna be awesome as belly gets big and I just want the sweet relief
2) How big is baby? Avocado according to TB, slingshot according to Ovia
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? WE DON'T KNOW YET AND IT'S KILLING ME. Two weeks till our AS.
4) How are you feeling? Pretty good. Hoping that some of the bubbles I've been feeling in my stomach are actually movement.
5) Any appointments this week? NOPE. Two weeks. Ugh.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions? I still don't *really* look pregnant, and I know I will regret wishing for it in several weeks, but dang it, I just want a cute bump. Also, I NEED TO KNOW THE SEX.
7) GTKY: How are you feeling about being pregnant this summer? What are you looking forward to the most? I'm excited about it! I'll be on break, so I'll be able to walk a lot, sit in the pool, and relax. And of course nest.
