Re: Tuesday Ticker Change | 05.16.17
20 weeks, halfway there! How did that happen?!
2) How big is baby?
Size of a banana.
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
We find out today!!
4) How are you feeling?
Mostly ok with the standard aches and pains, besides this nasty cold I woke up with! As well as constipation, heartburn here and there, sleeping is getting harder and shortness of breath when I climb stairs.
5) Any appointments this week?
AS and 20 week midwife appointment today!
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
Can't wait to find out if we're team blue or pink!
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?
Mostly anything sweet! Cookies, ice cream, popscicles, etc. I don't indulge as much as I crave it but it's so yummy when I do!!
1) How many weeks?
18
2) How big is baby?
The size of an artichoke...I still don't know how big that is, haha.
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
We don't know yet!! We'll find out at the end of the month—I'm counting down the days.
4) How are you feeling?
Pretty good except for some major dizzy spells
5) Any appointments this week?
Nope
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
None at the moment
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?
I haven't had any! I didn't have cravings with my first pregnancy either. I feel like I'm missing out on such a shared part of the whole experience, haha.
2) How big is baby? mango
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? @SDarling324 I find out today too! Come on 2pm!
4) How are you feeling? Doing all right. I went down the slide with one of my 6-year-olds last night and when I got to the bottom, I landed on my butt, instead of popping up. I knew something was going to go wrong as I am very off-balance right now - glad it was just a soft landing on my rump!
5) Any appointments this week? Just the a/s today with a follow-up next week to discuss progesterone injectibles to help prevent pre-term labor.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions I got to chat about labor and pregnancy in an unabashed way with friends on Saturday and Sunday. In so much of my life, I use a filter for reasons of decorum, but it was to let loose!
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? I have been all about rootbeer floats with all of my pregnancies, and I have had plenty in the last few weeks. I wish I craved salad ...

Pink!

Fine other than some intense migraines every couple of days

@flowerintherain I actually ate half a box of applejacks yesterday. We got like 5 boxes when they were on sale at Albertsons (keep in mind I have 0 kids, just me and DH!)
@soprano19 from the looks of it a lot of others on the board have started. I need to start but intimidated
----------
21 wks today - size of an endive tho I don't know what the heck that is lol
Team blue!
In general feeling pretty good. The more baby moves, the more crampy I feel. So I'm trying to up my water intake and bananas. My feet and ankles get swollen by the end of the day now, and the hemorrhoids have not gone away ):
No appointments - had my AS last week!
Desperately need to get myself to clean out the baby room and start a registry since my summer weekends are quickly filling up. Gah
I don't think I've had any major cravings, but I do spend a lot of time eating canned ravioli and pizza. It was all I could stomach in the first tri and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. But now my diet is a little more diverse lol
Also, I'm only 19 weeks but i think the baby was moving around last night and afterward I felt really crampy too.
1) How many weeks? 16 weeks
2) How big is baby? avocado
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? we know one is a boy but hoping we find out about the other this friday!
4) How are you feeling? good on most days. I've noticed when I stand up for too long (more than like 5 mins), I feel a tugging near my belly button. Anyone else experience this? Makes me nervous ..
5) Any appointments this week? Friday - yay!
6) Rants/Raves/Questions See #4 above
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? I'm not a big meat eater (beef) but in the beginning, it was all about the burger, steak, etc. Now, I crave some sweets like lollipops, runts, etc

The size of a ballpark hotdog (Babysizer.com)

I'm actually really good, just hanging out. Feeling the baby move from time to time!
5) Any appointments this week?
Nope, not until June 7th, and then starting in July I go every 2 weeks! (WHAT)
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
Can I just tell y'all how shocked I was to find out it was a little girl? I would have bet money that it was a boy, but I am SO STOKED. Hello bows and tutus!
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?
Nothing in particular, I just like salty foods! I do crave a lot of sweet tea....I mean its made with water so it's okay.....right? (Yes I'm still drinking water too, all the time)
We are officially Team BLUE!! DH is so excited to have a boy. I'm pretty sure DD is in denial - when I bring up that she's having a brother she ignores me and moves on.
@sdarling2010 yay! Congrats!
@aprilsarahjun yay! Such an exciting day for you! Can’twait to hear
@flowerintherain I’m not crafty at all, but would love to make some headbands
@soprano19 not at all! I’m a STM and I’ve already started adding items to our registry…its for personal use and completion discounts
1)How many weeks? 19
2) How big is baby? Mango
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? Confirmed yesterday that she’s definitely a girl
4) How are you feeling? Pretty good! I’m having trouble staying asleep with all the tossing and turning I do. I also had some cramping on Saturday.
5) Any appointments this week? I had an early glucose test yesterday morning and an ultrasound with the perinatologist yesterday. It was so fun watching little girl moving all over the place and to hear she looks great, I’m hoping for good news by tomorrow on the Glucose test.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions Welp, I just ordered the first (of many, I’m sure) baby dresses. So excited for all the dresses, tutus and headbands
2) How big is baby? The size of a Gameboy
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? Team Green until the end!
4) How are you feeling? Feeling great! Still in my regular clothes, but I can't wait until I have a bump.
5) Any appointments this week? No
6) Rants/Raves/Questions I can't stand for too long because my fingers swell. I'm worried about where I am delivering. We are moving about 30 minutes further away, so it's not the closest hospital anymore, but I love my doctor. My last son was born about 3 hours after my water broke at home, so I'm thinking this one could come even quicker, so distance from the hospital could be an issue. The nurse said we could always schedule an induction if I wanted to, but I like to let my babies come when they're ready. My dilemma is do I stay with my doctor that's helped me with all my babies or is it smarter to find someone who has privileges at a closer hospital?
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? No cravings. Pretty boring over here. :-)
@marousse that is a dilemma! Maybe interview some doctors near you and see if you like them enough to switch, and just stick with your doctor if not.
@MCraig1484 yay a girl!!!
1) How many weeks? 18 weeks &1 day
2) How big is baby? artichoke
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue? green!
4) How are you feeling? really good, actually! Hardly any nausea. I can cook from scratch again! I made tacos last night and
5) Any appointments this week? none until May 31st.
6) Rants/Raves/Questions none, just feeling super blessed and ready to feel the baby move more regularly!! Also....a woman I don't know was already reaching out to touch my belly as she was asking if I was expecting last night.....wondering what her game plan was if I had said no?? But on the plus side, I must look actually pregnant now!
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately? chips and salsa and tomato-y things!
Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17
High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
20+1....officially more than halfway there!
2) How big is baby?
The size of an endive....or mango depending on the app
3) Team Green, Pink or Blue?
Still team green right now but the plan is to find out at the baby shower!
4) How are you feeling?
Just tired....and anxious about my cervix
5) Any appointments this week?
Had my OB appointment this past Monday which was interesting to say the least. She was not my usual OB and it was my first time meeting her but she made me cry with how frustrating our convo was. I felt like she was brushing aside my concerns and not listening to how anxious I was about my cervical length. At the end of the appointment we seemed to reach a place of understanding but I will never voluntarily see her in the office again.
My next appointment is this upcoming to recheck my cervix....which me luck!
6) Rants/Raves/Questions
Getting kinda hot outside lately...which means I'm going to have to actually shave my legs soon. So not in the mood!
7) GTKY: What are your food cravings lately?
Don't really have any lately....but I will say that vegetables now look more appetizing so I'm eating a more complete meal now!
