Re: Sunday Ticker Change 5/14: Happy Mother's Day!
8 weeks! Raspberry according to the bump.
2. How are you feeling?
Meh. I have never experienced nausea like this in my previous pregnancies. I was too lucky! I feel for the mamas who experience this throughout entire pregnancies. I can hardly keep anything down (even with rx meds) and then I feel guilty like Im not eating healthy enough. Any tips?
3. Any appointments this week?
No. First appointment is the 25th. Does anyone else have an OB who prefers women to be closer to 10 weeks for her first appointment?
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I posted my questions above!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
TTM! DD is 5 and DS is 2. She woke me
up this morning with makeup all over her face and said "Happy Mother's Day, you get to give me a bath!"
Lol she is so silly. Today I plan on spending the day outdoors with my kids!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
8 weeks, baby is the size of a rasberry
2. How are you feeling?
A bit tired & a little nauseous but overall I'm doing pretty good
3. Any appointments this week? Tuesday!
4. Rants, raves, questions? I'm excited for my appointment on Tuesday but I'm not really sure what to expect at it. I'm hoping to hear a heartbeat or see the baby but I don't think most doctors do that in Canada until 12 weeks. But I've got my fingers crossed!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day? FTM! I celebrated with my mom yesterday & shared our news with her. She is so beyond excited.
BFP #1 April 12, 2017 EDD December 19, 2017
10 weeks. Big as a strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
Like I was hit by a truck most of the time. Exhausted and nauseaois. Now I've managed to catch the horrible spring cold everyone else in my family has lovely.
3. Appointments this week?
1st ultrasound is tomorrow afternoon finally. So nervous about it.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
No
5. GTKY FTM? STM? TTM?
Honestly very complicated lol.
Have a 6 year old daughter
A 4 year old son.
We also had a stillborn daughter last year at 23 weeks due to Trisomy 18. Also had a Missed Miscarriage at 8 weeks in September.
Technically this is #5. But only #3 earthside if we have a healthy baby.
9 weeks, baby is a cherry/green olive/jack
2. How are you feeling?
Exhausted with sore boobs. Still (showering HURTS!)
3. Any appointments this week?
2nd ultrasound (and probably my last) on Tuesday
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Ready for that placenta to kick in and take some of this hormonal load off me
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
STM. Hubby and daughter (age 4) will make breakfast for me and MIL. Then he's taking off to CA for a week of work
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good, some hip and lower back pain is kicking in but other than all is well
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope won't have another for a few weeks
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I think I felt a kick this morning
5. STM here church then spending time with my family and doing last mintue packing for our last day state side.
Edit cause I forgot 5.
2. How are you feeling?
I felt soooo much better yesterday, I actually got to enjoy the day! So far so good today
3. Any appointments this week?
First appointment isn't until the 23rd.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
Third time mom here. My son woke up and told me "happy birthday mommy's day!" So cute. And I think we'll go to lunch after church.
@speach13 My clinic made me wait until after 10 weeks as well. It made the last month feel SO much longer!
@cmillar36 so sorry to hear about your losses.
@MrsWifey89 I have an appointment on Tues too! Fx for a strong heartbeat you can hear and an awesome appt.
@cassi4 I'm with you on feeling exhausted; hopefully we start to get some energy back soon.
@SierraGood what a busy week you'll have moving. Best of luck to you and your family and I hope everything goes according to plan.
@GraysonsMama aw, your sons Mother's Day greeting made me laugh
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks - 1.5 inches or as big as a prune.
2. How are you feeling? Ok. Some days I have more energy than others but it's still so much less than "normal". Really looking forward to that 2nd trimester boost haha.
3. Any appointments this week? YES, finally! On Tuesday.
4. Rants, raves, questions? My 19month old is starting to say tons of words and we've been working on "baby"... yesterday Ed Sheeran's song shape of you came on the radio and sings, "Come on be my baby, c'mon," and my son just starts saying, "bay-bee, bay-bee!" over and over again. It made me laugh so hard!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day? STM. My husband is taking DS to see his mom in the morning so I can have a morning alone (that hasn't happened in forever) and take a nice bath. Then they'll come back and we will visit my mom and gramma for lunch. It will be super low key which I'm very thankful for today.
eta: formatting
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks. Strawberry (even though a different app said that 2 weeks ago lol), prune, a Lego man, a petit four dessert
2. How are you feeling?
Just naesuous but still not throwing up. The feeling goes away when I eat.
3. Any appointments this week?
No. May 31st will be my 12 week US.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I'm really confused about the 1st trimester testing. I'm doing a finger prick blood test this week that I must send away in the mail and then my appointment is at 12 weeks. That test is for ds, t13, and t18.
But I see a lot of women posting about harmony tests and it's my understanding that that's a different nipt test. My gyno said that only comes if there's a problem with this first one and isn't covered by insurance.
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
Ftm. Revealing the news to my parents first. No real celebration though because we did mothers day 2 weeks ago with the whole family when my grandmother was up from florida. Then later today going to MILs for a bbq. Will reveal to their whole family then.
@AMCsquared it went really good! She wasn't expecting it all which was awesome. My husband and I had been trying for over a year so I think she was starting to give up hope. I put a onsie in with her Mother's Day gift that said "what happens at grandmas stays at grandmas" the instant joy on her face, followed by happy tears was very sweet. I caught her reaction on video too.
Also, let us know how your reveal goes today!
BFP #1 April 12, 2017 EDD December 19, 2017
Sorry to all of you who are having some nausea. It seems to be a running theme around here!
@MrsWifey89 OMG girl, 12 weeks?! That is torture! Hang in there.
@cmillar36 GL at your first Appt! Let us know how it goes
@ilikestars089 Your son sounds adorable. I love little kids singing. Melt!
@AMCsquared Awwwww! I hope your reveal is as amazing as I think it will be!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
7 weeks - the size of a blueberry
2. How are you feeling?
I'm exhausted all the time from doing nothing. It really sucks. And I'm nauseous. Always.
3. Any appointments this week?
Tomorrow! My first appointment! I'm pretty nervous, but I'm going to stay positive and not worry myself over absolutely nothing.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I got some flowers from my mom yesterday - it's weird to be in this mom's club now, when I don't feel like one yet. But I'll always accept lovely flowers!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
FTM. We did brunch with my mom yesterday, and today we're doing brunch with my IL's - SIL, BIL, MIL, nieces and nephews. The kids don't know I'm preg, but the adults do. I just KNOW my effing MIL is going to say something in front of them and spill the beans. I'll be so pissed. I just want to wait until after the first tri, so if something happens we don't get their hopes up.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7 weeks- baby is the size of a blueberry
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good so far. I've had some fatigue and sore breasts. Hoping I can hold off on feeling horrible for another 2 weeks when my summer break starts.
3. Any appointments this week? Not until the 22nd
4. Rants, raves, questions? Nope
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day? FTM. My mom and brother are visiting. We will probably go out to lunch later. Other than that, just visiting.
10 weeks, strawberry (we let my folks in the loop and had strawberry shortcake in LOs honor)
2. How are you feeling?
Better? Physically at least. Still all over the place with moods. Costing myself some precious sleep with worries after bedtime.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, NT Ultrasound on the 31st.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I don't remember my moods being this extreme with my last pregnancy. I guess that symptom may be able to change as much as any other, or the deliciousness of amnesia and all the warm fuzzy memories of pregnancy are clouding things.
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
STM. With a 19month old like @ilikestars089. With an vocab that expands daily and is so incredibly fun. She asked me to "count" with her yesterday and even knew a few numbers. I work full-time, I had no idea that was a game she was working on!
Grandparents were a nice blend of supportive and excited by the reveal today, future LOs aunts got more jazzed finding out today than we expected. Pretty fun Mothers Day even though half of the reveals were via FaceTime.
@SierraGood I am so excited for the kicks and hiccups again. It's awesome you might be feeling things already. I'm more than a little jealous.
1. How many weeks are you?11 weeks
What size is baby? A LIME. Lol
2. How are you feeling?
Ok, period like cramps here and there. I could cry over anything and everything and definitely have no patience or tolerance for little things lol
3. Any appointments this week?
Yes!!! Friday for the Obgyn for check up and doppler, wahooooo.
4. Rants, raves, questions? Hosted a beautiful Mother's Day brunch at my house today for the whole family, about 20 people! Then DH and I went to Barnes and noble and got our first three "pregnancy" books! Hehe Oh! And today was my first day Endometrin suppositories free!!!! So nice not to feel yucky! And no panty liners! But not sure how long that'll last since this week I read 11 weeks is when I should expect increased discharge?
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect???
FTM! (PGAL's)
11 weeks, babies are the size of golf balls
2. How are you feeling?
My morning sickness has subsided! *insert happy dance* The fatigue is making up for it though.
3. Any appointments this week?
Should be seeing MFM, but haven't heard from them yet. Might be early next week instead.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
We decided to officially announce today, and received an enormous amount of love!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
This is number 3&4 for me. My kiddos made me breakfast in bed and I stayed there watching Netflix til about 2pm. Then took them to lunch and then the pool while hubby was at work. It's been a fantastic day!
11 weeks! Lime or Fig depending on the app
2. How are you feeling?
Not as good as last week but not terrible. Working night shift is not my friend and causing some headaches/nausea, but manageable and short lived. Continuing with RLP.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, 12 week scan on the 23rd.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Meh, nothing over here.
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
FTM, celebrated by working night shift all weekend. I did put the ultrasound at work on my belly the other day and saw the little rascal squirming away. So that was a nice gift.
@AMCsquared I think the test you're having is the standard NT screen. My OB office offers the NIPT to everyone regardless of risk. The one I had is by a company called Counsyl and they send you an email with an estimate on what it should cost and attempt to get it covered by insurance. Out of pocket if it's not covered is $250 and I believe it can go towards your deductible.
1: How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks, size of an eastern tailed blue butterfly
2: how are you feeling? Still horrendous. I feel bad that DF is dealing with all my complaints but I'm seriously ready for the damn morning sickness to be over.
3: no appointments.
4: no rants or anything right now
5: I'm a STM. Had a simple but appreciated Mother's Day, though the breakfast DF made me came right back up half an hour later
@SierraGood I hope everything goes smoothly as you are traveling and making the big move!
@brittyclem I'm so jealous that you got to use the ultrasound machine at your work!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks: a cherry
2. How are you feeling?
My nausea is starting to let up, but I am so tired they I can barely function during the day and then I have insomnia at night. Go figure!
3. Any appointments this week?
Not until the 30th
4. Rants, raves, questions?
For Mother's Day my DH gave me the gift of house cleaning services twice a month for the next year! I've been feeling guilty because I've been too tired to do much more than keep things picked up, but now I just feel happy!
5. GTKY: FTM? STM? TTM ect? Do you have any plans to celebrate Mother's Day?
TTM. Mine are 3 1/2 and 2. They were sooo excited that they picked up donuts with DH! Then we went to church with DH's family and had lunch with them. Then we had dinner at my parents house. I was so tired by the end of the day, but I didn't have to cook anything all day!
Just wanted to say hi and bye ladies! My ultrasound last week confirmed my ticker change day should be Wednesday instead of Sunday. Glad to hear you all had nice Mother's Day!

I'm one happy momma-to-be today. Ultrasound went awesome today, baby is measuring 5 days ahead with a heartbeat of 176. We were given a CD with a bunch of pics. I will try to post one tonight
BFP #1 April 12, 2017 EDD December 19, 2017
What a great way to end the week and start the weekend! Very Happy mommy to be right now. Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!
And to all: I don't mind continuing to start Sunday's ticker change each week, but if anyone else has the desire to I don't want to hog it
