scuba_chic · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks; about 1 1/2 inches long
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good other than starting to go stir crazy from no exercise
3. Any appointments coming up?
Tomorrow! Hopefully I will get good news that my SCH is gone and I can resume activity.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Nothing other than this no exercise and take it easy is starting to really get to me. Its been over 2 months since I've worked out and its affecting not only my waistline and thighs, but my mental mood.
5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters. I'm the oldest...but the last sister to have a baby. I think that was the hardest part for me. I was happy for them, but waiting until my husband was ready to have kids and seeing them get pg no problem was hard.

jenotontx · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks! Size of a lime.
2. How are you feeling?
Still struggling with the evening sickness. I have also come to the conclusion that naps make me feel worse. Everytime I take a nap on the weekend I just feel like crap the rest of the day. I like my naps but I think I may have to push myself to stay up from here on.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Next Thursday! No u/s at this next appointment though so less exciting.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I'm just ready for this second trimester energy and glow I hear of lol
5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have two younger sisters that are identical twins. They are 3 years younger then me. Even though I know identical twins aren't hereditary, having multiples has always been a fear of mine!

StephieMK · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
13 weeks, size of a lemon

2. How are you feeling?
Been experiencing more nausea late at night now

3. Any appointments coming up?
Check up with OB in October. We'll hear the heartbeat

4. Rants, raves, questions?
I thought by now my nausea would have let up but seems to be full steam ahead...maybe next week?

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have one sister. I'm the oldest and she's almost 3yrs younger.

@scuba_chic I belong to a boot camp
gym and haven't been able to go in over 3wks and it's killing me!

@JJMNO1616 I hear you on the naps. I definitely feel worse afterwards. But most times I can't help the urge to sleep and regret it every time.

Edited because dumb phone and spelling

ladythrice · September 2017

Good morning fellow Monday ticker change ladies!
@scuba_chic holy big family! Do you love having so many siblings?
@Jjmno1616 are you taking your prenatal in the evenings? I was having evening sickness too and I realized its because I'm a smidge hungry at night when I take my prenatal. Usually if I eat a piece of fruit it helps!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?

11 weeks! My app says the size of a fig!

2. How are you feeling?

Pretty good. I get random bouts of nausea but my aversions are next to nil and I can handle grocery shopping-ish again lol. I consider that a win.

3. Any appointments coming up?

Not for a few weeks I think.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

None today!

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?

I have two sisters and one brother. I'm the oldest! Sister 1 is 19 months younger than me, sister 2 is 8 years younger than me and brother is 10 years younger than me. My parents took a 6 year break between sets of kids.

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
13 weeks today baby is the size of a lemon or a arc reactor

2. How are you feeling?
pretty good, the sickness seems to have lifted late last week. So finally able to eat a little more which has been nice

3. Any appointments coming up?
Yes today! I'm looking forward to hearing the heartbeat, not looking forward to hearing my results from my 3 hour glucose test.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
nothing right now

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I'm the youngest, I have 2 older brothers and an older half sister. I didn't really grow up with my half sister so I don't feel like we really have a relationship but I'm pretty close with my brothers.

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

@JJMNO1616 i am the same way with naps. I would love to take them but they make me feel worse so I just try and stay up and if anything go to bed a little earlier.

kmalls · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
13 weeks, baby is the size of a small peach!

2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good as long as I stay super hydrated. If I get lazy with water intake I feel like crap.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Nope, had out NT scan this past Friday so I don't go back until mid-October.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rave: if I wear a fitted shirt, I'm starting to look a little pregnant! I love this stage.

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have one brother, he's 2 years younger than me. Once we were both in college we got really close. He's a good dude!

@Dumbgurl04 could it be a good thing that they didn't call with your results? If you had failed the three hour test, would they have wanted you to change your diet immediately? Or is there another test to do?

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

@kmalls I hope they are good results but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Since I felt so awful during that first hour I'm just assuming I failed because it's how it went during my first peganacy. Felt awful the first hour then fine the next two. Also the nurse told me when I went in for it I probably wouldn't get my results until my appointment today because my DR was off all last week.

jenotontx · September 2017

@ladythrice I take my PNV right before bed so it has no influence on my evening sickness. I think most of the time there is something about the car ride home from work that really messes with me. Or in the case over the weekend it's sleeping in too late and taking naps.

@Dumbgurl04 I'm sorry to hear you are expecting bad glucose results!

mispanda · September 2017

@scuba_chic that's tough! I don't have a SCH but I have bleeding that they can't figure out so I've been on a form of "activity modification" and I literally can't do anything but stand. So I feel you on the stir crazy!
@JJMNO1616 my evening sickness is always the last thing to go and it lingers. I hope you feel better soon!
@StephieMK I hope you start feeling better soon!
@ladythrice yay for your grocery shopping win! It's great when life starts to get "normal' again.
@Dumbgurl04 fx for good glucose results today! If it helps when I had my 3 hour test last pregnancy I was so sick the first hour I didn't think I was going to make it (keep it down). I did pass the test however.
@kmalls how much water do you drink? I think I have the same issue but I know I struggle with water intake and most likely don't get enough still.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 13!!

2. How are you feeling?   Better than I have been. Some days I can eat more than I would in a week and some days I'm back to hating food that has made me nauseated.

3. Any appointments coming up?   I have a 14 week appointment on October 3. It can't come fast enough.

4. Rants, raves, questions?   My house has been hit by this bad virus that's been going around which is why I haven't been on much. My child literally slept 10 minutes last night. Which means I probably slept 2 minutes.

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order? I have an older brother, a twin sister and a half brother who is 14 years younger than me and 19 years younger than my older brother.

mountainsmama · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks, a lime

2. How are you feeling?
Nausea is getting better, I'm still tired all the time and am a zombie by bedtime. I also feel like I'm starting to show - so much earlier than last time! It's getting harder to hide at work.

3. Any appointments coming up?
NT scan and blood draw next Weds!

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Cannot wait to have more energy. I went to the gym and for a run this weekend and it was so nice to sort of feel like my old self!

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
2 bothers 2 sisters, I'm second oldest. I love having a big family!

kmalls · September 2017

@mispanda I drink a lot in the morning and then get grossed out with it by the afternoon. I'll chug 2 single-serve bottles first thing every morning (so 32 ounces) and then have maybe 1 or 2 more bottles by mid-day. Then by like 4 I'll have a headache from not drinking anything for a few hours and have a few glasses mixed with a tiny bit of Gatorade. Then I pee allllll night.

scuba_chic · September 2017

@ladythrice Most of the time, yes. There's never a dull moment thats for sure, but it makes holidays like Christmas so much fun.

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

Well just got back from the dr. All seems well, as for glucose the first hour was high (which I expected because I felt awful) and my fasting and other two hours were great. So she wants me to go on diet like I had to with my first pregnancy and re test at 24 weeks (yay.....not). But I guess on a good note I actually lost 7 lbs......must me all the water I'm drinking.

keeksie84 · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks...size of a brussel sprout.

2. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling pretty great! The emotional craziness from the past few weeks has finally subsided - no longer crying multiple times a day. I'm still having a hard time sleeping though.

3. Any appointments coming up?
I've been tying to schedule a NT scan for next week, but communicating with my doctor's office an insurance has been a cluster. Hoping to get that on the books today.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
SO proposed this weekend. We've got everything planned for our elopement in three weeks so it was really more of a formality. It was still super cute though!

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I'm an only! My mom used to tell me she only had one because she didn't think she could share her love with another child. I found out later that she only had one because I NEVER STOPPED CRYING. She couldn't handle the thought of two of me.

@kmalls, I'm hoping to get to that point soon! Right now, I'm just feeling fat and shapeless.

@mountainsmama, good for you for getting to the gym. I've had the hardest time finding energy/motivation.

ladythrice · September 2017

@Dumbgurl04, sorry you didn't get the news you had hoped for

. Share your diet plans with us! It might help us Monday ladies eat a bit healthier

while giving you support for the diet before the retest!

thisgirlagain · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks Strawberry

2. How are you feeling?
Pretty great now. Have my moments, but it's no longer all the time crappiness

3. Any appointments coming up?
Had one today. Ultrasound and everything.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
I love seeing baby so today is a great day!

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? . Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
4 brothers 1 sister. I have 3 older brothers me then a brother and then sister.

Dumbgurl04 · September 2017

Yes @ladythrice plus it might even help from getting GD. My Dr even said if I stick to the diet I could maybe avoid it and not have to test my blood sugar.
From what they taught me it was to have 3 small meals and a snack at least 2 hours after eating. Also you want to include a carb, a fat, and protein. Best example I can give is a baked potato(carb), usually I have butter (fat) and cheese (protein). Plus drinking lots of water.

kaymaroo · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks, plum/army man (like from Toy Story)
2. How are you feeling?
I'm battling an oncoming sinus infection right now. Anyone know of anything I can take for that if it hits? I'll try all the natural remedies tonight but they don't usually work for me when it's bad.
3. Any appointments coming up?
NT scan tomorrow! I'm so excited to see baby, but also pretty nervous about everything going okay.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Not at the moment
5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have one sister, I'm the oldest.

Puddlewonderful · September 2017

@Dumbgurl04 sorry about your results, that must be frustrating. But it sounds like you've got a good attitude about it! Good for you.

@keeksie84 congrats on the engagement!!

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks, strawberry (I'm too lazy to look anywhere past TB app haha)

2. How are you feeling?
More tired than previous weeks but stomach is feeling better. Still being a bad mom and TV isn't my coparent but...he'll live.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Yes, this Friday! Just a checkup but I'm waiting to hear the hb one more time and then I'll finally tell work. My boss already know but my employees don't- it's starting to get awkward, I'm sure they all suspect. I can't wait for the secret to be out even though I sort of hate the awkwardness of telling people (other than family/close friends)

4. Rants, raves, questions?
not today. I'm boring.

ETA my #5 got cut off! I'm the youngest of three and only girl. My brothers are close in age (2 years) and then there's a 5 year gap, so by age 13 I was basically an only child. I always wished I had siblings closer in age so I'm happy DS and this lil baby will be only 2.5 years apart!

danniluv · September 2017

1. Baby is as big as a plum, 12 weeks
2. Exhausted all the time. Naps make me feel better when I take them.
3. 2nd u/s on 10/2 and I can't wait!
4. Just ready to hear my baby heartbeat so I can have a little anxiety relief
5. One sister, that's 16 yrs older than me.

sarelizr · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks - 2 strawberries up in here!

2. How are you feeling?
Well.... nausea is... better?? But my food aversions are so strong... literally gag at the thought of ANY meat except for hot dogs... so weird. Also. Headaches have arrived and super sleepy all the time.

3. Any appointments coming up?
TOMORROW!! Hopefully get to see the babies and hear more heartbeats.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
I just want to eat something other than the small palate I currently possess.

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have a younger sister, so I am the eldest child in my family.

g_amoss · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks, each as big as a plum.

2. How are you feeling?
I have been tired and having some heartburn, but very little MS for the last week or so. Whoop!

3. Any appointments coming up?
Thursday is my "intake" appointment.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
Little rant - I tried to do some shopping for maternity clothes (before it's a crisis lol), and our Target had very few items. I guess I will have to do a shopping trip 2 hours away (bleh)

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I am the oldest, with 4 sisters and one brother; all are younger half siblings.

capricelili · September 2017

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks, a cherry I think.
2. How are you feeling?
Still nauseous and tired all the time
3. Any appointments coming up?
Yes! First appointment with my midwives on Wednesday. Not sure how it's going to go. I hear it's like an orientation this first time. Don't even know if they will do an ultrasound any time soon.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Almost done tacking my sons 2 year sleep regression, just in time for grandparents to visit in a couple weeks. So happy. Finally getting some continuous sleep.
5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I'm middle child between two brothers. Also have 3 half siblings (1 brother and 2 sisters) but we didn't grow up together, I was already 21 by the time I found out about them (dad's secret family). But we lost our dad 7 years ago when they were still little (8, 11, & 12), so I definitely feel protective of them even though I don't see them often.

dan0081 · September 2017

There are so many ladies on the Monday ticker change. It's fun reading through them all.

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks. A strawberry!

2. How are you feeling?
I was having a decrease in symptoms the past few weeks, but they have crept back in the past few days. Should have enjoyed it while it lasted.

Just the typical nausea, lack of appetite, food sounding terrible, etc.

3. Any appointments coming up?
I just had an appointment today! They couldn't hear the heart rate with their doppler so we were able to see baby and hear its heartbeat with a bedside ultrasound. It was a great surprise.

4. Rants, raves, questions?
I got my flu shot today at the clinic, and my arm is killing me. I'm hoping it'll subside soon.

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have one sister, and we are 15 months apart. She just told me she's pregnant with her second child so I am beyond thrilled to have our kids be so close in age! I am the youngest.

ladythrice · September 2017

I'm so excited we have two twin pregnancies in the Monday group!

irenejean · September 2017

Last week my doctor changed my due date to April 30, so this is my first Monday ticker change post.

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

2. How are you feeling?
Huge, tired, and really hit or miss with food. I'll like something one minute and hate it the next.

3. Any appointments coming up?
Nothing until October 20.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have one younger brother

lauranicole91 · September 2017

Finally had my first ultrasound today and got my due date moved up by 8 days. Mind if I join y'all?
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby? 11 weeks, a lime

2. How are you feeling? Better but still not back to normal. Still pretty nauseated and aversions to basically all food.

3. Any appointments coming up? I had one today. Baby looked great. But I'm having some issue without rapid heart rate. It'll just go 150-170 out of no where, so I'm getting referred to a cardiologist.

4. Rants, raves, questions?

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order? I have one older brother who is 4.5 years old than me.

sarelizr · September 2017

Yay @g_amoss for multiples!!
Welcome @lauranicole91 and @irenejean!!

So appt went well today. They took blood for genetic testing and will also get to find out gender(s) in a few weeks. OB could only find Baby A on the heart doppler so going back tomorrow AM for an ultrasound (yay!!). Not at all concerned because at the ER baby B was kind of behind its sibling...

g_amoss · September 2017

@sarelizr - glad you had a good appointment today and get to see them tomorrow too!

itsrandiyo · September 2017

I feel so bad for bumping this back up but I have been behind on my bump posts and reading everything

so I wanted to put my update too. I love hearing about everyone's family/symptoms

1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks. Size of a Lime, I guess.
2. How are you feeling?
I am feeling TIRED, I wish it would just get better by now. No motivation. But I do have better days lately, so thats good.
3. Any appointments coming up?
I have an appointment Oct 5th! I am excited to hopefully "see" the heartbeat on the vscan.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Raves, we told my husbands family this weekend and we tell mine tonight! Just happy to get it out of the way, because I frankly think its awkward and I half want people to just figure it out lol

5. GTKY:How many siblings do you have? Brothers/Sisters? What is your birth order?
I have two older brothers, so I am the baby. They are 16 months apart and I am 3 years younger then my younger brother. I have great relationships with both and I am so lucky!

Sissy42 · September 2017

I'm so sad I missed the post this week! I'm sorry I'm a terrible poster. I will tune in next Monday!

ladythrice · September 2017

@Sissy42, you can still update us! This post doesn't have to die on Mondays. A lot of us get busy and forget to check in throughout the week. I love coming back and seeing everyone's updates, no matter how late in the week!
