Re: Wednesday Ticker Change - 5/24

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks! Lime

    2. How are you feeling? Better today. The exhaustion is still awful, but I think I'm starting to turn a corner... *knocks on wood*

    3. Any appointments this week? Nope. Nothing until 6/6

    4. Rants, raves, questions? Rave: My H is so excited about this little one. I wrote an announcement and created a picture and shared it with him, with the intention of sharing when we hit 12 weeks, or after the NT scan. I showed him on Monday, and he asked me yesterday why I hadn't posted it yet, and asked that I post it now. So we did. It was kind of adorable how happy he was to share the news, even if its technically early. 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? I've been boring lately, the only music I hear is the country station I listen to on my commute.

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks already! Baby is the size of a LEGO man

    2. How are you feeling? I haven't had much of an appetite and I had some period-like cramping on Monday. So those are newish symptoms. I am feeling OK. Milking it a bit with DH naturally lol.

    3. Any appointments this week? I have an ultrasound on Friday to check in on the SCH

    4. Rants, raves, questions? **TW kind of** man oh man, basically ignore a pregnancy for the first few weeks after you turn a few until you're past your loss milestones and it flies by! I can't believe I am in double digits already. Halfway to halfway woot! 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? I've been listening to the This Is: Chris Cornell playlist on Spotify all week at work.

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 12 weeks... PLUM!

    2. How are you feeling? Miserable. I threw up breakfast this morning and I just want to go lay down for a week.

    3. Any appointments this week? Nope.

    4. Rants, raves, questions? Fuck moving. That is all.

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? I never listen to music anymore. Podcasts all day, every day though!

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 12 weeks, a plum

    2. How are you feeling? pretty good. Weeks 6-10 for me were certainly full of intense hormones and MS, and then weeks 10-12 were less severe with just basic symptoms. I'm still feeling some stuff here and there (mostly just twinges of breast soreness or a little bit of queasiness), but the biggest show has been the stretching going on in my uterus. I've sort of "popped" already with a little bump that is definitely not suck-in-able, but I'm actually really looking forward to having a full on bump. I'm pretty short (5 feet exact) so I expect it won't be long before I'm really showing.

    3. Any appointments this week? NT scan on Friday ahh two more days, two more days! 

    4. Rants, raves, questions? I'm really happy to be here at week 12. It's a special number and I really can't believe the first trimester is already almost over. This adventure is already going by really fast. I'm SURE I'll be singing a different tune come week 35, but I'm just really enjoying all of this.

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? similar to @flowerpower5838 I have been listening to Chris Cornell's Prince cover of "Nothing compares 2 U" ... it's totally beautiful. Otherwise, the soundtrack from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is pretty sweet.

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    9 weeks - baby is the size of a cherry

    2. How are you feeling?
    Awful lol. I am SO sick compared to my first pregnancy. I throw up a couple times a day and I'm tired, but I'm trying to keep my routine as normal as possible.

    3. Any appointments this week?
    None this week. Won't have another one until mid-June

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    Nothing really at the moment. Just trying to make it through this first trimester and hoping the nausea goes away haha. 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
    Not one particular song, but I've been enjoying the new Beatles station on Sirius XM.

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    12 weeks, Lime.  I had been posting on the Friday ticker change group but since both of my ultrasounds put me on Wednesdays being the start of my week, I don't mind bumping myself up a couple of days!

    2. How are you feeling?
    Good.  Tired but otherwise good.
    New food aversions keep showing up though.  I am now officially off olives.  Which are like my favorite thing on earth so it was super sad.  I'll add that to the list of nearly every meat that isn't on a McDonald's menu.

    3. Any appointments this week?
    I had one on Monday.  It was supposed to be just a heartbeat test but baby was playing hard to get so I got an ultrasound instead (I firmly believe the nurse was helping me out because I was obviously terrified that something was wrong.  2 MC will mess you up like that).  Baby was jamming out like a rockstar so I feel really good now.

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    My daughter was home from school for 2 days with strep.  I am celebrating that she went back to school and I went back to work today.  

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
    I just got done conducting a Cabaret for our children's choirs at my church so a lot of those songs are still stuck in my head.   When I need to take a break from them, I listen to Ed Sheeran.  My fave right now is New Man.


  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    12 weeks, plum!

    2. How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, but baby will let me know if I've overdone it with the lifting or standing. 

    3. Any appointments this week? Ultrasound and OB visit tomorrow!

    4. Rants, raves, questions? Not bump related but I hate field day. Lol

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? Humble by Kendrick Lamar

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 

    12 weeks. A plum 

    2. How are you feeling?

    Still nauseated but not as bad. I'm in the same boat as @katemordus just trying to make it till the end of first tri so maybe this nausea goes away! 

    3. Any appointments this week?

    Next Wednesday I have all my scans and special tests 

    4. Rants, raves, questions? 

    None this week 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?  

    The Weeknd Tears In The Rain. I listen to my you tube channels a lot while working out 
  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    11 weeks - lime 

    2. How are you feeling?
    Still nauseous and tired, cranky, bloated

    3. Any appointments this week?
    Nope, have one on Tuesday...

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    Clothes are getting snug from the bloat :( 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
    Mostly addicted to true crime podcasts, but heard Morning Train by Shelia Easton on my way to work and it made me laugh since my husband just started taking the train to work.  It's been stuck in my head all day!

    @holzie-2 I have a doppler and we haven't heard the heartbeat yet. Makes me nervous but I know it's still early... hoping in the next few days. How exciting you can hear it!!

    @lijuan09 my oldest is SO excited for Field Day! It's her first one, so I have no idea what to expect!

    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    12 weeks - a plum

    2. How are you feeling? So much better today. I was able to go shopping and actually be a productive member of society! I feel like I'm turning a huge corner - this pregnancy is (knock on wood) my easiest so far and I am not sure if it's because of the meds, fluids or just an easier pregnancy. This is my first week with no IV and I'm weaning off the Kytril. If I'm still doing great next week my OB wants me to start to wean off the diclegis as well. 

    3. Any appointments this week? Meeting with our genetic counselor on May 31st. My DH went through cancer treatments last year and one of the chemotherapy treatments he received can alter sperm quality. They think it's a low chance, but want to do some tests to make sure all looks good. Feeling more nervous as the date approaches.

    4. Rants, raves, questions?  Just happy to be feeling next to human lately. 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? We listen to the Trolls soundtrack on repeat. For a kids movie it's actually pretty good.

    ETA: Tried the dopper this morning (Thursday) and found the heart beat!! Happy Dance!

  • @txmomma16 so cute how excited YH is!
    @vvitchhazel oh man, I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful AND dealing with moving. That does not sound fun. 
    @peachy13 FYI I loved week 35 with DS :) I actually didn't get that 'get this baby out of me' feeling at all, especially since my water broke at 39 weeks!
    @holzie-2 so exciting to hear the heartbeat! 
    @katemordus I'm sorry you're so sick :(
    @andipandicWed121369 I'm so off meat too! basically forcing myself to eat it because I know I need the protein, but it's so hard!
    @lijuan09 yay for ultrasound tomorrow!
    @disneyfan0511 yay for an easier pregnancy!

    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks! Lime

    2. How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Still tired. Bloated. Some mild mild nausea when I don't eat enough. 

    3. Any appointments this week? Nope not til next

    4. Rants, raves, questions? DH has been working so much I feel like I never see him... it would almost be better if he was working out of town cause then at least I'd get a week off with him every 3 weeks...

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? Castle on the hill by Ed Sheehan

  • @kvacmak You win the interaction award this week! Official moving starts today, so I'll get back into it soon. I feel you on missing the husband. Mine has worked the last 10 days in a row, in preparation for the move. And he's stopped at the store every single day, because I needed tote bins. No wait, those aren't big enough. Go back for the big ones. Okay, but did you get a new litter box? I need more cranberry juice! I'm such a pain these days!  :|

    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 13 weeks today - I think.  My dates are all messed up.  Who really knows!

    2. How are you feeling?  Better - sometimes I still am nauseous in the morning.  Still have some food aversions and strong sense of smell.  My back is bothering me - I lifted something too heavy yesterday which was dumb.  

    3. Any appointments this week?  I am picking up my genetic testing kit and calling to get blood drawn asap.  

    4. Rants, raves, questions?   I want to tell my mom - but I feel like I've kept such a secret I feel weird even revealing it.  I bought her a necklace with all grandkids birthstones and new baby's for her birthday next week 6/2.  Not sure when I am revealing that.  

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?  I am a country music fan - love it all....

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
    10 - strawberry 

    2. How are you feeling?
    still tired. I'm on vacation so perhaps I'm giving into naps more bc I have the downtime. I find the best time of the day is 7 pm - 12 am. I'm not normally a night person so this is weird for me and should've been a sign when I started feeling like this at 4 weeks..

    3. Any appointments this week?
    on Monday! My first appointment with my GP! 

    4. Rants, raves, questions?
    my boobs are ridiculously sore. I have been wearing a sports bra on occasion to bed bc they're so heavy when I get up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. I think this has been the biggest surprise. 
    I'm slowly starting to tell people as I see them and talk to them. Really hope no one blows the secret on Facebook. Some are getting mad that they're the "last to know" when it's like f no actually you're not. Lots of VIP's still don't know. Chill. This isn't about you. Ugh. 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
    i was listening to a lot of Green Day but that turned into Matt Mayes as I just saw him in concert. 
  • @dilbert890  That's ridiculous that people are getting mad.  You're only 10 weeks!  At that point my sisters didn't even know yet!!!  People need to calm down.  Seriously.

  • @dilbert890 I had a few people react like that when I was pregnant with DS. One chose not to come to a BBQ where I had planned on sharing the news, then got super pissed afterwards when she heard through the grapevine before I got a chance to see her... Like dude it was your fault for not coming, don't give me shit. People can be stuck in their own little world sometimes, and it's so much more about THEM than it is about you <3

  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks!

    2. How are you feeling? Pretty well. I have to east as soon as I get up, but otherwise doing ok. No more spotting and less nausea than when I was preggers with DD--maybe LO is a boy?

    3. Any appointments this week? Not until June

    4. Rants, raves, questions? Not much this week. 

    5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately? Honestly, I can't think of one! I think there's an Alessia Cara one that kept playing on the radio when we were driving today. I'm among the podcast listeners, but I'm behind bc we've been traveling

    @andipandicWed121369 and @kvacmak ugh I know. Am I supposed to sit on the phone for 10 hours and call everyone to tell them?! I wish my cousin hadn't shared my news with her mom. I really shouldn't have told her....

    • I have switched from the Thursday club to the Wednesday club due to my scan!

    • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks! The size of a strawberry! (Which I ironically can't eat enough of this week)

      2. How are you feeling? Really good as long as I eat often

      3. Any appointments this week? Not until June 1

      4. Rants, raves, questions? Raves: got to announce my pregnancy to most of my family since we were all together for a wedding. It was so much fun to surprise everyone. Can't wait for it to be completely public.

      5. GTKY: What song have you been listening to/singing on repeat lately?
    There really isn't one in particular. I've been listening to a lot of Disney princess music on repeat but that's because I run a dance studio and I'm prepping for the kids Recital next weekend.

    I'm struggling to keep up with this one. I never have anything interesting to put so I always end up skipping, so I'm just gonna say Hi Y'all! I belong her, just suck at participating! 
  • baevnbaevn member
    I don't currently have time to read everyone's and fill out the thingy but I am back. I had some bleeding last week (all is good now) but it triggered another ultrasound and it dated me back right on my lmp of Dec 20 and is apparently a more accurate one. Phew. I was kind of attached to this wednesday ticker change group and Sunday's just didn't feel right. I hope everyone is doing well!!
