Saturday Ticker Change 9/9

I saw no one had started one, so I thought I would!

Your "ticker change day" is the day you switch over to being another full week pregnant (ie: 5 weeks instead of 4 weeks and 6 days).

If your EDD is 5/5, 5/12, 5/19, or 5/26, this is for you! 4/28's come on in, too!

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

2.  How are you feeling?

3.  Any appointments coming up?

4.  Rants/raves/questions?

5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)?

Re: Saturday Ticker Change 9/9

  • 1.  How far along are you?  How big is baby? 4 weeks, chia seed!

    2.  How are you feeling? 
    I was pretty nauseated this morning, but otherwise great! Especially after my husband played "Barnyard Bingo" with the kids all afternoon so I could take a long nap.

    3.  Any appointments coming up? 
    I still don't have my first appointment scheduled. I went in for my second quantitative hCG draw on Friday, so I'm assuming it'll be scheduled after those numbers come in. FX for doubling.

    4.  Rants/raves/questions? 
    Rant: So much peeing. All night long. Rave: Its probably the hormones but candy corn pumpkins taste extra delicious this year and I'm immensely happy about it.

    5.  GTKY:  What's your dream vacation spot(s)? 
    Norway, especially Norwegian Sapmi, to see where my ancestors lived, and Istanbul.

  • 1.  How far along are you?  How big is baby?
    5 weeks. Appleseed
    2.  How are you feeling?
    Pregnancy wise not bad. I've had a crazy cough/sinus infection for over a week. I've been having coughing fits that turn into dry heaving and it's embarrassing at work. Crazy headache too but I can't tell if it's pregnancy or sinus related (I had a really bad headache for a couple weeks straight during second tri last pregnancy). 
    3.  Any appointments coming up?
    First is 10/18
    4.  Rants/raves/questions?
    I wish I had some cravings. It would make meals easier. 
    5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)? 
    I have a lot of places I want to visit but I really want to go back to Costa Rica. Looking forward to being able to travel after pregnancy once I'm not concerned about Zika. 

    @firefliesandfjords waking up to pee is the worst right now!  I always seem to wake up 1 hour before the alarm. Makes going back to sleep then waking up shortly after rough.

  • @heelsidehero Sorry to hear about your infection...that sounds absolutely terrible! Very jealous you've been to Costa Rica, though, its definitely on my list! I lived in nearby Nicaragua for a summer and if I'd had the time, I would have loved to visit. Did you get to see the rainforest?
  • @firefliesandfjords we were in the rainforest and we went to the ocean side. We actually got married there and I highly recommend going if you ever get the chance!  One of the few places I feel the need to go back.

  • @heelsidehero Oh that sounds lovely! So many beautiful places to see on our planet!

  • 1.  How far along are you?  How big is baby? I'm six weeks and baby is a little sweet pea.

    2.  How are you feeling? 
    so sick. Also exhausted.

    3.  Any appointments coming up? 
    not yet. I'll be calling my OB on Monday

    4.  Rants/raves/questions? 
    ugh I just want to sleep. Why do I have to have responsibilities? 

    on the rave side though my little DS is freaking adorable! He's been cracking me up all day! Also my DH did all the house work so I could stay in bed and sleep. He's AMAZING

    5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)? 
    I want to go to Belize someday! Or Costa Rica! Or maybe Spain? Too many places to choose!
  • 1. How far along are you? How big is baby? 5weeks, Appleseed

    2. How are you feeling? Exhausted and bloated. Not nauseous, but nothing sounds good.

    3.  Any appointments coming up? Oct 5

    4.  Rants/raves/question? Rant that I called and scheduled my first appointment with my ob that I know and love, only to find out that when my insurance renewed Sept 5 that services within another health system are 1/2 what this one costs. So I need to try to find and make an appointment with someone else :/

    5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)? the Maldives
    Waiting for #3!

    Sorry I somehow missed this yesterday....
    @firefliesandfjords - Thanks for starting it :) I hope they schedule your first appointment soon. The waiting is so tough! That was so nice of your DH to occupy the kids so you could nap.
    @heelsidehero - I am sorry you have been sick :( Have you been to the dr for it? I hope you feel better soon
    @jessnoel89 - glad your DH has been helping around the house so you can get some rest. Are you sick like morning sickness sick or cold? Either way I hope ou feel better soon.
    @Guillerma - I am so happy to have another BOTBer on the board with me! I also think it's cool we ended up in the same ticker change :) I am glad you are not feeling nauseous - hopefully that stays away. I am so sorry you have to find a new OB. 

    1.  How far along are you?  How big is baby?
    4 weeks yesterday, poppy seed

    2.  How are you feeling?
     Doing ok - tired, queasy, overall just feeling yucky but it is all manageable as of now

    3.  Any appointments coming up? Not until September 25 and that one is just with the nurse as an intake appointment. At that appointment I think they schedule another appointment for 2 weeks after that and that one will have an US :) 

    4.  Rants/raves/questions? This will be our last baby. (We already have 3 DS) So I am trying to just enjoy every second - that said I would really like to fast forward to my first appointment. I don't feel like you ever full relax during pregnancy but I think I will feel so much better after I have my first US at 8 weeks and see that sweet little baby and his/her heartbeat. 

    5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)? I really like going to the mountains or to the beach. I love the mountains year round but especially in the fall when the leaves change. I would love to travel to Germany and England


  • I also missed this yesterday sorry!

    1.  How far along are you?  How big is baby? 6 weeks - sweet pea

    2.  How are you feeling? Mild nausea throughout the day, fatigue and very bloated.

    3.  Any appointments coming up? I had some bleeding a few days ago so have an early ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. FX everything is ok. Then I see my midwife on 26th Sept.

    4.  Rants/raves/questions?

    5.  GTKY: Where is your dream vacation spot(s)? I love the rainforest, but hate to fly. Hoping to go away this Christmas for a break. Never done that before, but thinking a cottage with a wood fire in the country and a few nice walks. We generally do low key caravan holidays.
  • @glitzandglitter it's morning sickness for sure. I had it bad my last pregnancy too but this hot hard this week. Hoping it's only the first trimester this time around. I was sick everyday last time. It makes for a long 40 weeks.
