Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 9/5

  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    10 weeks - Raspberry 

    How are you feeling?
    Good, energy is getting better. 

    Any appointments coming up?
    Not until 9/28

    Rants, raves, questions?
    Not this week 

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?

    Favorite - I live in a small town in Nebraska and I love it. My town has a lot of charm to it and the people are just amazing. I'm also counting my blessings; watching the fires in the north and the terrible hurricanes in the south make me really appreciate my hum drum Nebraska life. 
    Least favorite - that we are about a million miles from anywhere. I wish we lived a shorter drive to oceans, mountains, etc.

    I should be 7 weeks today, but I have two more weeks until I see the doctor. Baby is a blueberry this week.

    How are you feeling?
    Bloated, but otherwise, good.

    Any appointments coming up?
    Not for another two weeks, I'm really looking forward to seeing the doctor and making sure everything is looking good.

    Rants, raves, questions?
    I finally sorted through my old maternity and postpartum clothes, I LOVE wearing pants that fit!! Also, really looking forward to wearing my maternity tops, but don't want to spill the beans at work yet, so I'm waiting a bit more.

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?
    My favorite thing is all the trails. We live in the mountains and our local recreation board maintains so many miles of hiking/biking trails. I love it! My least favorite thing about where I live, I live in a resort town, and during the winter, the traffic around town is insane.

  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    10 weeks. Every site says something different: a strawberry, a prune, a date, or a cumquat depending on your preference. However, I am not really sure how big most of those things are, and strawberries can vary significantly.

    How are you feeling?
    Some days I feel like crap, others I feel fine. But my anxiety is gone since my last scan. I have accepted that I am pregnant with a healthy baby and am letting myself plan for its future.

    Any appointments coming up?
    Not for three weeks, but that is fine by me.

    Rants, raves, questions?
    Not really.

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?
    I love the different seasons. But in the same note, summers can drive me crazy, because it is hard to predict when or if it will be warm enough to swim.

  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    9, cherry

    How are you feeling?
    Ok. I still have nausea on and off throughout the day, food aversions and exhaustion.

    Any appointments coming up?
    Friday is my first appt and U/S! I'm excited but nervous, of course. DH can't go so that makes me a little anxious too.

    Rants, raves, questions?

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?
    My favorite thing is that there's always something going on. My town even has a Harry Potter weekend every year.
    My least favorite thing is that it's a very conservative area.
  • @irenejean I busted out maternity pants early and I am so happy I did. I am waiting on tops too. But ah the relaxation of no buttons! 

    @orangecup - A Harry Potter weekend? Totally jealous! 

    @linds0503 glad you are starting to enjoy your pregnancy!
  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 7 weeks: blueberry or bloob 

    How are you feeling? Nauseous, tired, cranky.

    Any appointments coming up? I have my first appointment with my Dr tomorrow :)

    Rants, raves, questions? I want my belly bands so I can walk around with my pants undone (stupid bloat!)  but I packed them away after my first pregnancy and they are on a high shelf in the garage and I keep forgetting to ask my hubby to get them down for me. And when I do remember I'm at work, with my pants digging into me and 6 hours to go till hometime. *Sigh* 

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?
    Fav: close to all of our friends and family 
    Least Fav: far from work - long commute 
  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 7 weeks, blueberry @onesmallcoconut @irenejean due date buddies!!

    How are you feeling?
    So cranky, achy, bloated, and tired. No food sounds great except Mexican. 

    Any appointments coming up?
    Next Tuesday, first one after confirmation Appt for labs.

    Rants, raves, questions?
    Not really, had some spotting today and hoping it's nothing. I just want to feel comfortable!!

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? 

    Fav- comfortable, been here almost as long as my longest childhood home, lots of memories. 

    Least fav- hour long commute and 5.5 hours away from closest family. Cold, rainy, no beach.

  • @linds0503 sounds like you live in a similar place as me!

    How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    9 weeks- cherry 

    How are you feeling?
    Honestly, pretty awful.... I am exhausted, cranky, bloated and nothing sounds good to eat... everything makes my tummy turn.

    Any appointments coming up?
    Not for a couple of weeks

    Rants, raves, questions?
    Non-pregnancy related.... I am finishing my masters and should be done by march, but everything with these last couple of classes seems to be pointlessly hard... had to drive over an hour today because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with my online account. Just frustrating... makes me wonder if it is even worth it....

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)? Love the water! Live block away from a great lake and it is gorgeous! However I live in a town full of uneducated people which can be tedious 
  • @dhhteachermommy if we don't live in the same state then you certainly live in a surrounding one. I am in Michigan, but don't live particularly close to any of the lakes :-(

  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    9 weeks, cherry 

    How are you feeling?
    I have pretty bad morning sickness, vomiting 1-3 times a day and the rest of the time feeling on the verge. I know I'm not getting very healthy nutrients and trying my hardest to drink fluids but they do not settle well. Makes me nervous. 
    However I haven't thrown up in front of my first grade class yet so that's a plus! 

    Any appointments coming up?
    Not until the end of the month... I am really looking forward to it, I just want an US or at least hear my baby's heart beat! 

    Rants, raves, questions?
    none

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? 
    I love my property we have just two acres tucked away but yet we live close enough we can walk down to the waterfront. 
    Least favorite: our town is growing way to fast! Wish the building would stop. 
  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 8 weeks! Baby is the size of a raspberry/jellybean/kidney bean depending on which app I'm checking  :D 

    How are you feeling? Super tired, nauseous but not puking, almost all food sounds gross except mashed potatoes and baked potatoes, constantly peeing. It's not the worst, by any means, but ... I'll be glad when some of these symptoms ease up!

    Any appointments coming up? I have my 8-week appointment and ultrasound with my RE tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Assuming all goes well, we'll graduate from our fertility clinic to my regular OB! And I'll get to stop doing nightly progesterone shots and taking estrogen supplements. That makes me a little nervous (it's hard to believe my body can actually do anything fertility related on its own considering how much help I needed to get pregnant) but it'll be nice to be done with shots and have one less pill to take per day. 

    Rants, raves, questions? I'm so grateful to be pregnant, but so ready for the first trimester to be over. I just want to get to the point where the risks are fewer, I have a cute bump vs. looking fat and frumpy, and we can finally tell the world that we are pregnant. Also I'm so tired and I have a super demanding job, and I need my energy back to do it well!

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live? I live in San Francisco, CA. I have a million favorite things: the weather is perfect, people are kind and super progressive, it's beautiful everywhere, I can go to the beach, go hiking in a national park, see great shows, and eat great food and never leave the city. My least favorite thing is that it's SO expensive to live here. Like makes-me-wanna-puke expensive. Most days it's worth it though :)
  • @linds0503 Woot! Michigan mamas represent! From the Mitten as well!
  • How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
    -I'm 7 weeks and a blueberry 

    How are you feeling?
    -Terrible. My ms has been getting stronger each day. Vomited for the first time yesterday and have lots of back pain today. Good news is doc called in some meds if I need some relief from the constant, all day nausea.

    Any appointments coming up?
    -Had an u/s on Wednesday. Big scare Tuesday evening at the Atlanta airport. We were traveling back from visiting family in Atlanta when we got to the gate I felt something was different. I had lots of bleeding and had to wonder the whole flight home if I was miscarrying. I already had my u/s scheduled but I got in earlier and saw a baby and a hb (150)! Yay! I have 2 blood clots causing the bleeding so I'm on pelvic rest for awhile until they hopefully heal. 

    Rants, raves, questions?
    -Anyone deal with a hematoma before?

    GTKY: what's you're favorite and least favorite thing about the place you live (totally stole this question)?
    -We moved to central Florida last year. I LOVE being close to the beach and having season passes to Disney World. I don't like not having seasons...I miss cold weather in the fall and winter.
  • @nelsonjr82-2 How are you doing with the storm? My sister is evacuating from Miami today. I hope you are doing okay! 
  • @angiek1 I'm sure most southern Floridians are moving up my way. We are in Lakeland which is right smack in between Tampa and Orlando. With the uncertainty of where the storm is heading we just don't know. Grocery stores are out of everything. My husband wanted me and my toddler and my mom to evacuate back to Atlanta but after seeing the traffic on the interstates...I don't think so. Besides, I feel awful and the last place I want to be is on the road or in a hotel. We'll ride it out and hope for the best!

    Yeah - it took my poor sister 20 hours to get to ATL from Miami yesterday/today. Good luck and I hope you stay safe/dry!
