Re: Monday Ticker Change 9/11
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green? 20 Weeks / Girl (Lorelai) / Banana or Paper Airplane
2) How are you feeling? As per usual… tired and hungry and tired and heartburny.
3) Have you felt baby move yet? Yes, not a ton. But I found out at my AS that I have an anterior placenta. I was shocked to hear that because I have been feeling some movement since I was 14 weeks and last time I had an AP and didn’t feel anything till 24 weeks. I’m chalking this up to be a STM so maybe that’s why I know what I should be feeling. I don’t know.
4) Any appointments this week/last? Last Thursday. Saw the little gem. I mean gem as in little kid not a reference to her lady parts… which she is a girl. Also, I’m not going to call her lady parts lady parts to her. Anyway. Everything looked good. They didn’t get a great shot of the cardiac chambers or something (they called when I was still sleeping so I have missed exactly what they said they didn’t get) but will recheck at my next growth US in 4 weeks. Starting at 24 weeks I get US every 4 weeks because of my weight.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? RAVE: I found the double stroller I want, used, for $100 which is freaking exciting to me. haha I pick it up on Friday so I’m super stoked to check that off the list.
Also, sometimes buying things from people online freaks me out because I think of all the creepy bad things I’ve heard, ya know the handful of crazies out there, so now I’m like ummm can we meet at the police station. haha I need to stop watching the ID network. haha
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings? Not yet. I guess I just get quick surges of “OMG That sounds so good.” but I don’t recrave it again.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green? 24 weeks today! Baby is as big as a cantaloupe or a GI Joe figure (lol); baby is a girl (Aurora)
2) How are you feeling? Hormones are for the birds and I have been tired and slightly sick to my stomach. Hoping to get through this Monday quickly at work.
3) Have you felt baby move yet? Yes, I have been feeling her pretty consistently since 22w. I do have an anterior placenta though, so the movements probably aren't as pronounced as they would be without that.
4) Any appointments this week/last? Nothing last week, but a fetal echo follow-up on Friday at 8am and my 24-week appointment with my OB on Friday at 10am. Was in the ER last night, but that doesn't really count as an appointment lol.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rants: hormones that make me a bitch since I am usually so go with the flow, allergies, and my anterior placenta resulting in full pelvic rest.
Raves: going to NYC this weekend with FI and I am excited to dress up and have some alone time with him.
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings? Yes, pretty consistently this whole pregnancy it has been bagels with cream cheese, cereal, and yogurt with granola and fruit. But they aren't the die hard, absolutely have to have it now cravings, just things I have been enjoying. Partly I would say because I don't normally allow myself to eat bagels and cereal while not pregnant lol.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green?
23 weeks - size of a "large" mango and baby is a girl (Teagan)
2) How are you feeling? A little tired and hungry all the time but other than that, feeling great!
3) Have you felt baby move yet? Yes, I was only feeling her occasionally up until this weekend - now I feel her multiple times a day and I love it!
4) Any appointments this week/last? No appointments until last week of September.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: DH and I are headed to the West Coast to Portland, OR on Thursday for one last vacation before baby girl is here. So excited to get away and spend time together!
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings? Not really, I'm just hungry constantly so everything always looks good lol.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green?
21 weeks. Baby is the size of an endive or the length of a carrot. And baby is a boy.
2) How are you feeling?
Exhausted, I've hit an insomnia spell. Also, backachy and verrrrry frisky. So glad to be out of sex-jail after our normal AS.
3) Have you felt baby move yet?
Yes! Last week he started dancing and he barely ever stops. He's most active in the late morning and the early evening. I think he takes a nap at lunch time.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Last week was AS, this week nothing. Follow up from AS next week, since I had it at a specialist's office instead of my regular OB's office.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: Baby was sitting cross legged on my cervix like a little buddha when we started the AS. I am rarely seen without one or both feet tucked underneath me (even this pregnant).
He's just like me.
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings?
No, everything tastes bad. I'm starving and I hate everything, it's very depressing.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green?
22 weeks, Coconut and team pink
2) How are you feeling?
I overdid it a bit this weekend on house work (I think I'll let DH vacuum from now on) and am in a lot of pain in my hips and butt. I've also started cracking and popping in my hips first thing in the morning and when rolling over in bed.
3) Have you felt baby move yet?
yes, quite a lot
4) Any appointments this week/last?
I have a routine check up this wednesday
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
not much that I can think of. I'm going to try to get my butt into gear this weekend and work on DHs office so I can start making room for the new nursery. We will see what gets done, lol
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings?
last week I NEEDED a Dr. Pepper. Which is completely random seeing as I don't drink them hardly ever (maybe 4 a year)
23 weeks today! Baby is the size of a bunch of grapes. Expecting a baby girl named Genevieve.
2) How are you feeling?
I feel surprisingly well! A couple headaches here and there but nothing major. BP has been beautiful this entire pregnancy which keeps me at ease.
3) Have you felt baby move yet?
This sweet girl is a force already! I also have an anterior placenta and have felt her steady for what feels like weeks and weeks now. Her movements became visible just under my belly two weeks ago. I fully expected later and less pronounced than DS.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Next appointment is next Tuesday!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave; I'm looking forward to DS beginning Preschool next week as it will allow me to better schedule our weeks/start resting the more pregnant I become. DH is still training for another 2.5 weeks so I'm physically and emotionally spent. Also, preparing to ask my MFM if the military hospital lab will allow me to sub jelly beans for the Glucola. I was able to with DS but midwives tend to be more accommodating.
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings?
Lemonade! All the lemonade! I may never drink it again after this pregnancy..
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green?
21 weeks. An endive I guess - random! It's a baby girl.
2) How are you feeling?
Awful actually. I threw out my back this morning. All I did was lean over to pet my dog and my back gave out, I couldn't stand back up. I had to stay home from work and am in a lot of pain. My Dr recommended ice or heat and tylenol every 8 hours (and rest and massage or acupuncture). It's my busiest time at work so it's really hard to be out of commission right now. Hoping it starts to feel better so I can go in tomorrow.
3) Have you felt baby move yet?
Yes, she is a busy girl now, I can feel her constantly. It just picked up the last week.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
None this week. Next week I go back for my 2nd A/S (I'm old so I guess I get 2!)
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant above, wah. I hate being stuck in my apartment.
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings?
I wouldn't call it a craving but after being tame for a while my sweet tooth is back. At the same time I'm trying to eat healthier so that's tough.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green? Currently 22 weeks - baby boy is the size of a coconut!
2) How are you feeling? Good! Very hungry all the time, but no complaints!
3) Have you felt baby move yet? Oh yes! He's very active and strong and now my friends refer to him as the Karate Kid! Ha! Lots of strong kicks.
4) Any appointments this week/last? Last week I had an appointment with my midwife that went great - she was very impressed with his strength! I was supposed to get my a/s done on Friday but thanks to hurricane Irma that had to be rescheduled for next week!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: So grateful that our home stood up so well against the hurricane and we are safe!
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings? Not specifically... only in the moment but not any lasting cravings!
@supercoolstephy I love that name! That was on our list, but we are having a boy

J18 December Siggy Challenge: Christmas Movies
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green? 23 weeks - a bunch of grapes, grapefruit, or barbie. We are team pink and still no name for this little girl
2) How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. I'm back to work and so my feet have been swelling a little by the end of the day, but nothing terrible yet.
3) Have you felt baby move yet? Yes, all the time! She's actually woken me up the past few nights having a dance party around 1am. I hope that's not foreshadowing....
4) Any appointments this week/last? Nope. I've got nothing until the first week in October.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing today. Just working to hide my pregnancy from my students for another week or so. I have parent night a week from today and I want to get through that before announcing to families. By the time I tell families, I want to have my leave substitute established and my boss is planning on posting the position in a couple of weeks. I have cute maternity clothes that I can't wear yet since they show off too much belly, so I'm living in baggy dresses for the time being :-)
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings? Nope. I'm doing pretty well with eating healthy this time around and want to keep it up. Carbs are hard to resist though (but that's nothing new).
@ryannenikole I love that I am in the same company lol! Dunkin' just came out with their pumpkin cream cheese and yes I am basic and yes I can't wait to try it, even though I know it is probably awful for me lol!
@myorke24 My midwives are allowing me to use grape juice. Hope you get to sub the jelly beans!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? Is it a boy, girl, or are you team green?
We are Team Blue (Jack) and 23 weeks. He is the size of a grapefruit or a Barbie.
2) How are you feeling?
Crabby. That is all.
3) Have you felt baby move yet?
Yep! He used to move around in the car and stopped that. Now it's just whenever he feels like it.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Yes! I saw the OB today. I'm seeing midwives, an OB and MFM with the goal of delivering in hospital naturally with the midwives.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nothing really. I could do without all the extra appointments but it's not bad.
Oh, there is a rave! My showers are actively being planned and I just can't believe we're here! We tried for 5 1/2 years and there were many, many times when I felt like we wouldn't ever get here.
6) GTKY: Any certain cravings?
Food is hard. Lol. It's been hard since the beginning and hasn't changed. I'm loaded up on fruit this week, and trail mix is always a winner.
