Re: Friday Ticker Change 11/17
27 weeks, lettuce. Last week of trimester
Maybe getting a cold, or just stuffy. Otherwise nothing.
Nope not until the 28th
Nope

Fruit salad.
2) @Chawk17 I also have a cold! Stuffed up and coughing lots! I've be been sore and tired but doing really well!
3) I finally met my OB yesterday! He was an hour and 15 minutes behind but he was super nice and caring! He spent extra time explaining everything!
We had been monitoring cysts found on the baby's brain and he is very confident that the anatomy scan shows no other indicators of Trisomy 18 so the cysts should resolve on their own! It was reassuring to hear!
He has also cleared me to attempt a VBAC and actually encouraged it! So that was nice to hear!
4) nothing
5) Any holiday desserts!!! Mainly my moms cherry cheesecake!!! Mmmmm
2) feeling dizzy recently , which is new. Preparing myself for new symptoms as I move into 3rd tri!
3) not until next week
4) question- I'm trying to stay active through this pregnancy but with the cold weather moving in , I just want to be cozy on the couch. Anyone have recommendations for workouts on YouTube or DVD that they love (and obviously work well for a 3rd trimester)?
5) pumpkin pie!
@wal2017 I 2nd what @Chawk17 said about the BeachBody On Demand Maternity workouts (although I also haven't done it since early 2nd tri).
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 27 weeks, lettuce or a banana

*sigh* this might be my "rant": I love stuffing and mashed potatoes and apple pie. I could take or leave turkey. Unfortunately, it looks like this year I will have to choose a small piece of one of my 3 favs and load up on the turkey.
@babybro218 hopefully the nutritionist helps with keeping everything under control and avooiding medication!
And I will have to check out some of the beachbody videos too! I have another year subscription but cannot seem to make myself get a workout in! Bathing my DS seems like enough of a workout for me these days!
2) Developed some general aches and pains this past week, and got my first UTI in 3 years after drinking that glucola drink
3) saw the OB this past Wednesday, failed my one hour GTT by 15pts. Have to go in for the 3 hour test this coming Wednesday
4) question: how important is it to invest in a brand name glider for the nursery? We are cutting corners where we can and can’t decide if the glider should be one of the gliders we spend good money on or just buy second-hand.
5) most of my first tri nausea and food aversions have returned so nothing particular I’m looking forward to having. We’ll see how i feel that day. Usually i love ham and apple pie!
@kbrinks2 so happy for your good news!!
@wal2017 i have heard good things about beachbody on demand from others but have honestly not tried it. Planning on doing it postpartum.
5) GTKY: what is your favorite Thanksgiving or Holiday food that you are most looking forward to? Mashed potatoes, dumplings, green bean casserole, and turkey... I list them all because I layer them all together. YUUUUUUM! I love thanksgiving!!! Oh and stuffing... oh my... I am so pumped for Thursday!

Many of my friends that bought name brand (expensive) gliders/rockers have said it wasn't worth the money. We bought a nice rocker, swivel, glider from Big Lots 8 years go for my first son and it is going in this nursery also. It was $150 I believe. Very affordable and we used it in our living room when our boys outgrew wanting to be rocked. It is leather, which wipes off easily.
28 weeks - size of a rollerblade
Peeing seemingly every hour of the night.
I have my 28 week appt on 11/21
DH just got off the night shift to days and it’s a huge difference for our family to have his help in the evening.
5) GTKY: what is your favorite Thanksgiving or Holiday food that you are most looking forward to? mashed potatoes and rolls and my mom makes a delicious French silk pie. I have friends who make baked Mac and cheese for thanksgiving and that’s just not something we usually make so I’m debating adding that this year.

Trying to find time to book a maternity photo shoot in January but so glad because I have not documented my pregnancy much otherwise. I'll also be taking some baby prep classes then. There's still a slight chance someone will throw a baby shower for us in January too. So I've got a lot to do to prep for baby over the holidays!
5) GTKY: what is your favorite Thanksgiving or Holiday food that you are most looking forward to?
Mashed potatoes and gravy!
@kbrinks2 great news!
27 weeks yesterday. Size of a camping lantern (?). Next appointment is the Monday after Thanksgiving. We’re down to every other week appointments and the rest of the appointments are scheduled for the pregnancy.
And I need to eat one thing at a time before moving to the next thing on my plate!
Casseroles are out because it's all mixed.
