Re: Sunday Ticker Change - 10/1
13 weeks - lemon or clownfish
2. How are you feeling?
Great other than exhaustion!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until October 18
4. Rants, raves, questions?
If baby has been consistently measuring almost a week ahead, would you ask for your OB to change your EDD or leave it as such? They are going by LMP but I must have ovulated early and my cycles haven’t been 28 days (moreso 24-25).
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
To eat- my grandmother’s homemade spaghetti, meatballs, and sauce or her beef stew. DH actually does the majority of the cooking but I love making homemade pulled pork.
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
11 weeks, lime
2. How are you feeling?
Okay, very tired, sore breasts, appetite is all over the place.
3. Any appointments coming up?
10/10 Ultrasound to firm up dates
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I looked for maternity clothes in a massive mall yesterday and all of the dept stores, even with 3 levels, all have their maternity online. And this mall had no maternity stores in it at all. Beyond frustrated.
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
Ooh good question. I love making and eating chili. The recipe changes a little bit every time and every time it gets better! Actually having it tonight!!
14 weeks, 2nd tri woo-hoo! - Baby is approximately 3.5" crown to rump
2. How are you feeling?
Good, besides having no appetite for supper. Really my appetite at all has really diminished this past week. I feel like I did at the end of my last pregnancy where I had no room to eat, but that should not be an issue at this point.
3. Any appointments coming up?
On the 17th
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Just super anxious to start feeling baby!
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
Mashed potatoes & Gravy with lamb roast, cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole. Mmmmm
@tooraloorahI personally wouldn't worry about having the dates changed. If it was the other way around and they wanted to tell me I was farther along then I knew I was I'd have more of a issue. They have April 3rd on mine, going off my lpm. However, I was tracking by taking my temp, monitoring my cm, and taking opks so I know the exact day I ovulated and implanted. I too have a shorter cycle and had my bfp on cd 22. With my first they also went off my lmp and had my dd as the 5th. I had it calculated as the 31st off my ovulation and DS came the 2nd. So it didn't really matter. It does kind of drive you batty though.
Baby #1: Aug. 2016

13. Size of a Lemon.
2. How are you feeling?
Lol, I just started dry heaving as I pulled this up to do. Same, prettt miserable, ready for the symptoms to ease up.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until next week.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
No, just tired of feeling so crappy and not being able to care for myself because of being a mom and mother.
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
I have no idea. Maybe our german made of scratch chicken noodle soup.
12 weeks plum or robo hamster
2. How are you feeling?
Mostly normal or just tired.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until October 17
4. Rants, raves, questions?
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
Spaghetti or chili
12 weeks plum
2. How are you feeling?
Mostly tired. Coming down with a sinus infection
3. Any appointments coming up?
10/12, first appt with the midwife
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Sugar cravings out of control! I’m going to try upping my fat intake today to see if I can calm it down!
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
venison and carrot stew with mashed cauliflower on the side.
2. How are you feeling? I'm doing really good physically!
3. Any appointments coming up? Genetic counseling this coming Thursday (I don't think I'm actually getting any tests done... I want them too, and im taking a half day off from work, so I wish they would just get it done this time)
4. Rants, raves, questions? I'm not sure if I'm hormonal and overreacting or actually legitimate. DH and I are having issues, and I'm seriously concerned about our relationship. I also have an exam coming up and i am not prepared at all... this will be my 4th time taking it ugh! My rave is I made apple crisp and it was delicious!
5. GTKY- that is really hard for me to say!! I usually make holiday dinners, so I guess that is my favorite... I do cheat and buy Hawaiian rolls (I tried making a copy cat recipe, and it just wasn't the same!), stuffing mix (sometimes, sometimes I make homemade), and cranberry sauce!!
@bossmom11 you should enter a chili cookoff! I have always wanted to enterms one lol
@dirtyboots yay second tri!
@sjn00 I hope you feel better soon!
2. I'm feeling much better for the most part, though I had a couple of bad headaches last week and sometimes also fatigue.
3. I have a routine OB checkup tomorrow.
4. My rant is the headaches I have been getting the past week. Tylenol hasn't helped so whenever I get them it's just a waiting game, and they usually last all day once they start.
5. My tastes change every so often and I go through phases so I can't think of an all-time favorite, but I usually enjoy making soups, stews, or chili this time of year.
2. Exhausted. I don't remember being this exhausted the first go round, and I cannot shake it. It was actually worse this past week, and I was really hoping I would start feeling better, but no such luck.
3. Still waiting for October 11th/12th.
4. None right now.
5. Peruvian roasted chicken /w habanero lime rice and aji verde sauce. I don't make it as often as I'd like because it's time consuming.
10 weeks - strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
Still struggling - hoping for major improvement in the next few weeks.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until October 12 for me. All 3 of my kids get flu shots this Thursday and if I could have a glass of wine beforehand, I probably would.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Pregnancy amnesia is such a real thing! This is my fourth time to be 10 weeks pregnant and I cannot for the life of me remember definitively when I started feeling better with the last three. I guess your body does what it has to do to ensure that you do this crazy pregnancy thing again and again.
5. GTKY: what is your favorite home-cooked meal (either to cook or eat)?
I really life to cook (and eat) homemade spaghetti and chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup (with tons of chopped vegetables) is the only soup my kids will eat, so I make it a lot. Good even when you're not sick!
@viggie17 so sorry to hear about your troubles with DH - that sounds seriously stressful in an already difficult time. My DH and I are pretty solid generally, but this 4th baby was all me - he wanted to be done at 3 - and it's been hard on our marriage. Every time I go to bed early/don't feel up to doing something we normally do I can tell he feels resentful of it. I hope you and your DH get some resolution or improvement soon.
@annabanana051416 i feel your pain on the headaches, mine also last all day when I get them. I hope it's just a first trimester thing!
2. I can't complain, still pretty tired most of the time but I'm starting to get some energy and motivation back.
3. Next appt is Oct 27th. We've had them almost every week up until this time, so it is nice to get a bit of a break!
4. Pregnancy has taken me on such an emotional rollercoaster! I'm feeling everything so much stronger. My poor partner has been a great sport though.
5. Love all the holiday foods! Im craving Thanksgiving food and pumpkin pie so much..
12 Weeks. Baby is the size of a chicken nugget!
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good overall. Still having trouble sleeping though.
