Re: Sunday Ticker Change 7/9

  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    19 weeks, babies are the size of mangos, hot dogs, or sunglasses! At 6" apiece, I've got a whole foot of babies already! I'm also at my halfway point this week since my doc has already decided they'd induce at 38 weeks. FX I make it that far! 

    2) How are you feeling?
    Great! Just behind on stuff always and running out of clothes. Getting appropriately dressed daily is a struggle.

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    one of each! You bet I'm showing. 

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
     Last week I had a checkup, all was good. HBs were 157 & 147 and the US tech confirmed genders once again. 

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    My bday was on Thursday and DH took me to dinner on Friday, but went to a happy hour first and had a bit more to drink than he should've and was loud and slightly obnoxious all through dinner. I told him how I felt about it afterwards and he only said OK. I'm currently withholding sex until he apologizes!
    On the other hand, I got a video of Baby A kicking! It's visible from the outside now! 

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    We're close enough to a big city to go explore fun things, but far enough away to avoid the traffic, and I love the corn field behind our house! I live in a suburb of Austin, TX.

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    17 weeks, baby is the size of a troll doll

    2) How are you feeling?
    Really crummy. Fighting dehydration for over a month (with weekly IVs of saline) and failed my 1 hour glucose screen, so majo diet change which makes me queasy. 

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    Team green, showing since like 6 weeks (2nd pregnancy popped quickly)

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    OB and glucose screen last week

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    How long from modifying my diet before it'll affect my 3 hour glucose test?

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    I live in a town of 50K people with TONS of history and a booming tourist industry. I like finding my crew and enjoying all the activities that happen throughout the year. 
    I'm in Prescott , Arizona. 
  • I'm 17 weeks along also with twins.

    I was feeling pretty good till I overdid on Saturday resulting in some back pain. Better today but still feeling not quite like myself.

    We know that one of the twins is a boy hoping to learn the other on Thursday. I'm plus sized so while my shape is changing and things are sticking out more it isn't yet looking like pregnancy. Won't be long though.

    Check up and sono scheduled for Thursday.

    I live in a suburb of fort worth tx in an older neighborhood with lovely trees. The newer developments give me stepford wives vibes. I like where we live so long as I can do a weekend camping trip every so often to enjoy the country.

  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    FTM 17w, size of a pomegranate.

    2) How are you feeling?
    I came down with a sore throat/cough a couple days ago so I'm not feeling well.

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

    Team green. I feel like I'm showing but no strangers would be able to notice. It just looks kind of pudgey.

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    I had my 16w checkup and got to hear the heartbeat. Also heard some kicks but I can't feel anything.

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Rant: getting sick
    Rave: DH going to the store twice in the past hour to get me medicine, food, etc...

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    Portland, OR - right now I'm loving the SUN! It's been beautiful weather, I've been hanging out at the pool, going for walks, love it
  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    18 weeks! Baby's the size of an artichoke, I think?

    2) How are you feeling?
    I'm good. A little more tired than I expected to be at this point, but no complaints.

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    We're having a girl and I'm definitely showing now.

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    We have out level 2 ultrasound at the perinatologist's office Tuesday

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Nothing, really. Just plugging along for now.

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    I live in central Florida and I love that I'm 40 minutes from the beach, an hour from Disney, 30 minutes from my work in Tampa but I'm still in a fairly less developed area with a lot of nature.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    16 weeks, an avocado.  Although I must be buying the wrong kinds of avocados because I can't wrap my head around how an avocado is bigger than an orange? LOL

    2) How are you feeling?
    I had one wretched headache day early last week but have actually been feeling like a majestic unicorn ever since, for the first time pretty much all pregnancy.  I am hoping against hope that this continues!  

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    No confirmed sex yet.  I can't shake the feeling it's a girl, though.  Not really sure why?  Some friends I hadn't seen in a while told me I looked pregnant yesterday, but I was wearing an empire waist dress and not really trying to hold in the pudge, so I probably did have an accentuated belly bulge.  I can't tell that I look any differently, however.  

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    Heard the heartbeat and got a Fioricet rx last week.  I think the whole appointment lasted 10 mins. Nothing else til my Level 2 US at the very end of the month, the wait is torture!

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I hate how maternity clothes say "buy your prepregnancy size" but they only come in S, M, L, etc.  Sorry, but I don't recall ever buying a pair of jeans as an adult that were a generic letter size. Or a swimsuit, or a dress for that matter. I know the fabric is stretchy, but can't we do better than that? Bought size L full panel dress pants that fit like a dream, size L swimsuit clung so tight I could hardly breathe-- and I don't even have a bump yet! WTF?? 

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    In central NC, we're 2-3 hours from the beach and 2-3 hours from the mountains which is the BEST.  I know NC gets a lot of bad publicity for our weird politics and such, but it's such an amazing, beautiful place.  
  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    Hey! I'm back after a little break. I'm 19 weeks, mango or Gameboy sized

    2) How are you feeling?
    I have moments of immense energy then followed with extreme tiredness. Feeling quite large now. 

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    Girl, I've definitely got a bump but it sort of drowns in maternity clothes. 

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    Anatomy scan 7/17

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    My moods are all over the place, and I think I'm really struggling with that. I go from a rage to sad to tired loop most every day. It is exhausting just being near me let alone feeling this roller coaster of emotion. 

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?

    I live in a large city in the southeast. It's a small enclave of the city that is very walkable with excellent schools; that combo is hard to come by in the south. The area is close to a large university and research facility, and my favorite thing about the area is that the community is very socially liberal and ethnically diverse. 
  • @cassi4 you should see a difference pretty much immediately by changing your diet. The carbohydrates you eat enter the bloodstream almost immediately and should be metabolized completely in 2-4 hours. The rub is that the glucose tolerance test gives you large dose of glucose and watches how your body metabolizes that dose and there's not particularly much you can do at this time to make your body produce more insulin or be more sensitive to it. Thus the diet change after you're diagnosed with GD to try to control your sugar peaks to limit fast fetal growth. I will say it is not uncommon for women to fail their 1 hour screen and pass the 3 hour so fingers crossed for you!

    1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 

    15 weeks, navel orange

    2) How are you feeling?

    Pretty good! I think the first trimester exhaustion has tapered off. One annoying symptom I'm still dealing with is acne :( I hate it! First time pregnant with DD my skin was great. This time with DS its acne from hell. I'm hoping it clears up soon.

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

    Team blue! I'm kind of showing but it's really low, a belly burrito pooch. I have a deflated bump and waiting to see it even out. 

    4) Any appointments this week/last?

    nope. Gotta get a 18-20 week scan at a specialist since I'm 35+

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

    When we did our gender reveal to family, my brother-in-law quickly chimes in (right after the cake reveal) that he and his wife are going to try for #2 at the end of the year. Um bad timing and nobody wants to hear that you'll be having sex at OUR reveal. Idk, am I being too sensitive? DH thought it a bit weird too. 

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?

    the parks and schools are great here and it's quiet. I live about 30 min north of Los Angeles and 30 min east of Malibu's awesome beaches. 
  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    19 weeks baby is the size of a mango

    2) How are you feeling?
    feeling pretty good

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    still have a week till we find out, we're showing belly is just really low (in my opinion)

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    Not this week :(

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Yesterday I was sitting down and my vagina started to feel numb (only on one side) ..... I'm assuming it's due to sciatic nerve issues but still very weird and kinda worrisome.

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live? 
    we just moved to England so we haven't done a whole lot of exploring just yet.

    1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
    19 weeks yesterday lol. Size of a Mango.

    2. How are you feeling? Not bad. Cold is starting to go away. I think Morning sickness is getting better. Started to wean my anti-nausea meds.

    3. Do you know sex of baby? Have you revealed?

    No. and not fully.


    4. Any appointments this week or last?

    Saw OB on the 5th. Things are good. Unfortunately I still don't have an appointment for my 20 week scan. Hopefully I get it this week.


    5. See #4 for my rant.

    6. GTKY? Currently spend time outside. Summers are short and hot here.

    Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
  • 1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 
    18 weeks +2 days, size of an artichoke.

    2) How are you feeling?
    I'm doing ok- Thursday last week my wife and I both came down with a nasty stomach virus.  I took off work Friday and have been taking it easy.  Just starting to get my appetite back, and was able to stay hydrated at least, but it really took a lot out of me.  I'm back at work today, but still really tired.

    3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
    Team green.  
    It really depends on what I'm wearing, but I certainly notice the difference!

    4) Any appointments this week/last?
    Midwife appointment last week.  The countdown begins today- 20 week US is 2 weeks from today on 7/24!

    5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I don't think so... just really grateful to be eating solid foods again. :)

    6) GTKY: What is your favorite thing about the area/town/city you live in? Optional add on Q: Where do you live?
    I love being in a part of Baltimore City where so much fun stuff is walking distance.  We have a farmer's market a few blocks away every Saturday morning year round.  And a new brewery opened up a few years ago also really close by that has a game room and kids play area, and Friday early evenings lots of parents with young kids hang out there over a beer.

    Due date 12/9
    I can't figure out the pregnancy countdown tickers, but I do know how to make a signature!
    #40andpregnant

    As of 12/15/2017, my new hashtag is #41 and pregnant!
  • @SierraGood  I get the weird numbness too, and did even before I got pg.  It seems to happen if I sit in one spot too long, especially on a hard surface!  It does feel super strange, though!
  • @elcd458 glad I'm not alone... I told my hubby about it and he kinda freaked out and tried to rush to the ER. I told him we didn't need to go cause I'd feel pretty weird trying to explain to ER staff that my vagina went numb
