Re: FTM Check-In week of 7/18

  • How far along are you? 16+3

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? My appt was supposed to be last Friday, but I was having weird cramps/back pain on Tuesday (that of course went away right after I called the doctor's office). Anyway, they had me come in Tuesday afternoon to test my pee for a UTI. Everything ended up being fine.

    Cravings? I still want a cinnamon roll because of my 15 week ticker.

    Rants/Raves? None really!

    GTKY: What's your dessert? I'm a huge sweets person, but I will never pick a dessert that has nuts in it (almonds or peanuts might be okay...it depends) and 99% of the time I'll also pick the non-fruity option. I can't pick just one dessert as the top though!

    How far along are you? 17 weeks today!

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? I have my AS a week from tomorrow! yay! 

    Cravings? Carbs, watermelon... but honestly I haven't been too 'crav-y' at all... if anything I still have food aversions

    Rants/Raves? I've been out of town for a few weeks so sorry for the radio silence.... I got on the scale this morning after vacation and still haven't gained any weight.... I swear I'm not trying to maintain at all... I feel like I get full a lot quicker than before and that I'm not as hungry... It's bizzare. Pregnancy is bizzare. 

    GTKY: What's your favorite dessert? Ice cream, chocolate fondue, cheese cake, Key lime pie, Molten Lava cake.... hmmm maybe I just need to eat more sweets!  ;)

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Had my A/S last week and it went awesome! But now I'm sad that I probably won't get to see the little one again till birth. At least I'll hear his heartbeat at my check-ins.

    Cravings? For the last 2 days it's banana pudding (the Paula Deen version with chessmen cookies). And much like @elcd458 I'm SUUUUUPER impressionable these days. Anything they show on TV or we drive by or I randomly think of, it's suddenly imperative that I eat it immediately.

    Rants/Raves? Rant about work, as per usual. I work from home on Thursdays and have a tour of another kindercare place scheduled this week, but because my coworkers are all irresponsible a-holes, I'm now the only person in our entire group coming into work on Thursday. But I'm still leaving to go on the tour because I've already cancelled on them once. I just hate being the pushover of my group. Rave: My company just increased their Child Care Leave policy from 2 weeks to 8 weeks!!!! I'm over the moon!

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Ice cream, cheesecake, fudgey brownies, anything with caramel & pecans... anything and everything sweet these days (and I was never much of a sweet tooth before, so I maintain that these are my baby's cravings, not mine).

    Cravings?
    None

    Rants/Raves?
    Ah- just dealing with parents at the dance studio sometimes... note to self- don't be that parent.  Lol

    GTKY: What's your dessert?
    today- peanut butter Icecream with peanut butter ribbons and cookie dough bites mixed in. 
  • How far along are you? I will be 20 weeks Thursday

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? I am going in on Thursday for anatomy scan and 20wk check up

    Cravings? I am ALWAYS craving frozen slushies 

    Rants/Raves? Yesterday my husband bought the cutest outfit for the baby. This is the first thing that he has personally gone and purchased for him, and it just filled my heart!!

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Carrot Cake!

  • @moonlady-2 good luck with the house! Hope the seller takes care of that leak for you.
    @ktcakes87 so jealous of how prepared you are! I haven't even decided whether or not to move before baby gets here. 

    How far along are you? 19w4d

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Anatomy scan on Friday!

    Cravings? Not really. But yes to being super impressionable like @elcd458

    Rants/Raves? Just ready to get to Friday- that's when busy season will end at work and we get to see our little guy on u/s for the first time in two months.

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Fresh strawberry shortcake mmmmm
  • How far along are you? 16+3

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Had one yesterday! They don't offer an US during week 16 but you can pay $50 for a gender scan.  We did it mainly because I needed to see that baby! But we asked for the answer in an envelope because I have a reveal up my sleeve.

    Cravings? Not really? I eat more sweets than I ever did before pregnancy

    Rants/Raves? I am still getting morning sickness and its so draining/annoying! I just wanna eat and keep it in there! Yesterday I blew my nose and it triggered my gag reflex. Really?!

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Like most ladies here ice cream or cheesecake!
  • @leilagphillips aw sorry about the fridge! Mine sometimes doesn't close either if you don't push the door enough and it's such a pain
    @moonlady-2 GL with the house! being a homeowner is mostly awesome but also so frustrating sometimes when things go wrong.
    @balletnerd so funny you say that because now that we know we're having a girl, a few people have asked us if we're going to sign her up for dance stuff in the future. I'd be for it but am scared of the crazy dance parents. Gonna have to feel it out I guess if LO likes it or not. Little kid dance recitals though are so cute.
    @Mandayno yay DH! That is adorable. Mine purchased "The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin" book (he loves Halloween) for baby the other night and said that it will be their book to read together. Awww.

    How far along are you? 20 weeks today and super pumped about it

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Kind of in the middle of appts right now so nothing to report. Very excited many of you have your anatomy scans coming up! I posted a little recap in the anatomy scan thread after I had mine, because I always like knowing what to expect, especially as a FTM. Basically, the ultrasound lasted about 35 or so minutes, and I was mostly comfortable the whole time and didn't need a full bladder or anything. They went body part by body part, making sure everything looked normal and measured correctly. They started with the heart but then worked up to the brain, and went from head to toe checking everything out. It was close to the end when we found out LO was a girl!

    Cravings? Everyday is different!

    Rants/Raves? I'm feeling a little panicked because I feel like I'm bumping pretty good right now and am only halfway there. I am pretty short at only 5 feet, and am a little scared of having an enormous, heavy, uncomfortable belly in a few months -- the kind where people will be using the phrase "ready to pop" to describe me even if I'm not that close to my due date.

    GTKY: What's your dessert? I don't have a huge sweet tooth or go out my way to seek out dessert, but when I see something sweet laying out near me, I totally go for it. It could be a cupcake, cookie, ice cream, pie, whatever. But one of my favorite desserts is a good whoopie pie. Not sure if these are a regional (New England) thing since they were invented in Maine.

  • @peachy13 I live in CT and I loooove whoopie pies! Do you ever go to the Big E? I always have to debate between getting a whoopee pie or blueberry pie from the Maine building!
  • @leilagphillips I never went to the Big E but now I want to!!

  • @MJDsquared I'm glad everything was OK. Your post about cinnamon rolls made me get Taco Bell's Cinnabon Delights. I swear those things are the devil! They are sooo good! 

    @leilagphillips I've had some preggo brain moments too. I left the door to the house unlocked. 

    @ktcakes87 Will you post pics of the nursery updates? That's exciting! We haven't started ours yet. 

    @moonlady-2 I'm loving lots of berries. 

    @abcola I hope you enjoyed your trip! 

    @djd0404 Child Care Leave sounds great. 

    @peachy13 Thanks for the info on the anatomy scan!

    Anatomy scan on Monday! 

    Cravings?
    Anything sweet and cinnamon sugary or cold

    Rants/Raves?
    Still tired of the constipation. Plus, I thought the nausea was over, but it's not. 

    GTKY: What's your dessert?

    Warm cinnamon apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream or a blizzard with cheesecake, dip chocolate (the stuff they dip cones into and it hardens) and caramel. 
  • @peachy13 It's a lot of fun if you like fall fairs! Really, I go mostly for the food and the animals lol. I'm really looking forward to bringing the kiddos there in the future!
  • How far along are you? 18 weeks

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? Nothing until the week 20 u/s. 

    Cravings? Nothing in particular (although now that you mention the cinnamon roll again, @MJDsquared

    Rants/Raves? Rant: It's been a crazy stressful week at work, but I think the stressful part is over.  Rave: I've finally started to tell people at work, which is nice.  

    GTKY: What's your dessert? I love anything ice cream.  I could never get sick of it (trust me, I worked in an ice cream store in HS and I never got sick of it).  

    @leilagphillips - that's great that you get frequent pictures of the babes!
    @ktcakes87 - I am just starting to think through what the nursery will look like.  I'm impressed you have made so much progress!  I think we're going with teal and pink too!

  • @ktcakes87 Wow, that's really coming along! I wish I had something in mind, but I really have no clue. 
  • @ktcakes87 it's looking amazing!!!! Love it, but especially the rug!!!

    @peachy13 that's so cute about the book!! Don't they just melt your heart every now and then?!

  • edited July 2017

    @Tennis11785 Teal and pink are so pretty together! I can’t wait to see pictures of your nursery!

    @clovelyone I am an obsessive planner for most things, plus I am super impatient!

    @Mandayno Thank you! I was so happy to find such a perfect rug, and it was under $100!

  • How far along are you? 18 weeks today! 

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? No appointments this week or last. I'm excited for my next routine appt. on Monday. Since I haven't felt any flutters yet, I still look forward to doctor's visits so I can hear the heartbeat and get reassurance that all's ok with baby girl. 

    Cravings? Nope. I'm starting to want to eat healthier again, so that is much appreciated!

    Rants/Raves? None to speak of. I'm boring this week!

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Cupcakes!!!! Also, Italian Cream Cake and Creme Brulee. Basically anything vanilla and not chocolate.

    How far along are you? 19 weeks today

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? No appointments this week or last. My next one is the 20 week on Aug. 1 - it can't come soon enough! We still haven't found out yet and it's killing me. 

    Cravings? Nothing specific, but definitely wanting salt more than sweets.  And protein.  I would love if I came home and magically my fridge had leftover steak and potatoes and the pantry was filled with salt and vinegar chips.

    Rants/Raves? Rants - @clovelyone definitely so tired of the constipation.  Raves - Stocking up on maternity clothing basics with awesome sales online.

    GTKY: What's your dessert? Pre-pregnancy I was a dessert fiend - I love all desserts and I mean all.  With nuts, fruit, chocolate, hot, cold, any kind of cake, everything and anything you can think of I will probably enjoy.  But since becoming pregnant I have become indifferent to them.  I have an amazing donut sitting next to me right now and all I can think is "meh".  If I had to choose my favorite, I would probably go with either a warm fruit crisp/cobbler with ice cream or really great store bought sheet cake.

    We had a very perfect Anatomy scan last Thursday. Victor is doing great in there. I'll have another appointment on the 8th at the high risk dr and one on the 11th with my doctor. Placenta Previa seems to be moving on up slowly but surely.
    Cravings?
    Lots of things sound really good to me until I eat them and then they don't taste great or they make me sick. I have been really into grilled fish with lots of lemon though and eggs on toast.
    Rants/Raves?
    How far along are you? 
    If anyone ever asked me what the most useful and worth the money pregnancy item I've purchased is I would wholeheartedly say a box of small glad trash bags for every vehicle.
    Today DH had to rescue me from work after I'd thrown up 4 times in the 20 minutes I'd been there. Luckily the minute I got into the car I grabbed one of my bags just in case because I then proceeded to throw up all the way home. This is not the first time these have saved me and my interiors.
    Today aside I have been having a lot more good days lately. Yesterday I felt downright human again. I deep cleaned my kitchen, did some laundry, and delved pretty far into the rabbit hole that is researching cloth diapering. I felt very nesting mummy.
    Rant: It is 108° outside. So gross.
    GTKY: What's your dessert?
    Too many to choose from! I'm going to say Tiramisu or anything marshmallow related. 

    @ktcakes87 Sooo jealous of your nursery progress! 
    My 19 year old stepson moved in with his girlfriend  but pretty much left everything in his room and I am waiting on he and DH to pack everything up before I can get started and it makes me so antsy. I get the dragging feet though. This is DH's first baby and he is all grown up and leaving the nest and having one baby boy heading off to start his adult life and one baby boy on the way is for sure an emotional moment for my sweet husband. I'm happy to be patient/antsy while he takes his time.
  • @ktcakes87 your nursery looks so good! We are also doing pink and teal ❤️ They were our wedding colours and I agree they look so good together. Is your closet organizer a built in? Or did you buy that separately? (If so, where is it from? :)


    I totally suck at checking in, I only use mobile so I find it hard to keep up but I love reading everyone's posts. 


    How far along are you?

    18 weeks + 2 days 

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go?

    None until next Wednesday, this is just a regular check up but I'll get to hear her heartbeat again so I am looking forward to that :)

    Cravings?

    Today was Chinese food. Which is sooo bad and my coworkers are all having sympathy pregnancies with me so we got Chinese food for lunch lol. I swear I'll have something healthier for dinner 

    Rants/Raves?

    Rave! It's Friday and My mom came and cleaned my house for me today while I was at work ❤️ What a nice surprise to come home to!

    GTKY: What's your dessert?

    apple crisp and ice cream!
