Weekly Ticker Change 05/29

Creating for @mrsmarygs

I hope everyone based in the US is having a good Memorial Day!

This thread is for updating everyone on the day you change to a new week. For example, If your ticker changes on Tuesday, you can answer the bold questions on Tuesday. (If you forget, just post of whatever day you remember.) Everyone, feel free to comment and make conversation with those not in your daily ticker change!

When is your ticker change day?

How far along are you? 

How big is your baby (babies)? 

Team Pink/Blue/Green (if you know)?

Any upcoming appointments this week? 

Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? 

Rants/Raves/Questions?  

GTKY: What is your favorite, or least favorite, holiday, and why?

    How far along are you?  
    23 weeks

    pink

    Any upcoming appointments this week? Had a dental appointment today but that is it ;) 

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? I have had a bad cold going on so actually the pregnancy symptoms seem to be pretty mild in comparison. Almost on the mend now. :) 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  

    GTKY: What is your favorite, or least favorite, holiday, and why?
    Favorite maybe Thanksgiving or Easter because they are pretty low key and include good food...they are sometimes spent at home or on vacation with family. Least favorite is maybe New Years...I am not much of a `so just not a lot to the holiday for me.

  • @Cats*in*space, with DS I also concentrated so much on reading and taking classes to support pregnancy and labor that I was quite off guard after he was born. I read What to Expect: The First Year every month of the first year. It was somewhat helpful if I had a question similar to those that they cover in each month. The best information on infant caregiving that I received was from the new parent classes that were offered through our hospital. The classes were informal, educational, and supportive. They also provided me a great opportunity to get out of the house and feel like a human. Perhaps they have something similar in your area?

  • @wineren SECOND birth class?? I want to take a birth class!! When do I get to start classes and tours??
    We signed up for the classes offered by our hospital for free. It's a six week, 2 hours per week child birthing class. There's also three classes that are just one day for three hours reach on breast feeding, newborn care and baby safety. We got to go on a tour of the birthing facility at the first class on Tuesday which was super cool. Maybe your hospital has something similar? I think it's totally hitting that time. There was a couple in the class due in October!
  • When is your ticker change day? Thursday

    How far along are you?

    How big is your baby (babies)? lettuce, bunch of bananas, big bottle of Sriracha

    Team Pink/Blue/Green (if you know)? 
    Green

    Any upcoming appointments this week? Glucose screening in one week

    Any new symptoms or changes or cravings? Some back & hip pain, fatigue again, getting winded easily, and rhinitis. I'm now craving Greek food, after finding out about a Greek festival coming up this weekend. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  Rant: work is getting on my nerves. I was asked to fill in this weekend, but I'm refusing. I usually say yes, but I already work a crazy shift through the week (2a-11a) but I'm filling in on 11p-8a Friday and Monday, and I just have to pull the pregnancy card because I need a break.
    Rave: DH and I are planning to go to a registry event at BRU this weekend. Hoping to win a prize, but if nothing else, it's fun to register in a store since everything else I've done is online.

    GTKY: What is your favorite, or least favorite, holiday, and why? 
    Thanksgiving! I love Christmas too, but I think Thanksgiving has less pressure and is more laid back. I love to just hang out with the family and eat! DH proposed to me on Thanksgiving too, because he knows it's my fave. :)

  • @becauselove so far all the handmedowns have come from the same person (living overseas we don't have family or long term friends here, so it's literally a lady from church who recognized me on an "English speaking moms" FB page and reached out.) she has a boy born last November (very beginning of the month) and I'm due with a boy near the end of sept, so depending, anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart. But it's cold weather from October to April here (snowed multiple times in may this year.....) so "seasons" aren't as short/constrained here :p

    I had a friend gift me a bunch of handme downs that are so stinking cute for newborns but a lot were summer dresses and even though it might be summery in Sept it might be super chilly...so may not get to use much of them except for some photo props or if we are in a highly heated house. :)

    UGH the Nursery!  Sometimes I just wish I didn't have to compromise with DH.  I just want to pick the nursery theme that I want and go with it.  Instead I get to "compromise" and I just don't want to on this one. I love that he is so involved in everything but sometimes I don't actually want your opinion DH, i'm just asking to be nice.

    GTKY: What is your favorite, or least favorite, holiday, and why?
    +1 to Christmas.  I love that it is a whole season! everything looks so pretty, the house and the stores and the neighborhoods all have lights up, there are constant eating opportunities, everyone seems so happy.  I am really looking forward to the next few Christmas Seasons with a LO.  All of that being said, my DH hates Christmas so hopefully having a LO will make it fun for him again and he will come to love the season with me.
