Re: Monday Ticker Change (12/18)
26 weeks, size of a lettuce. These really make no sense to me. I don't feel like lettuce is bigger than a banana which was a few weeks ago.
2.Any new symptoms or changes?
My hips are just starting to feel better. And, TMI, but my pelvic floor is definitely weakened. I have a bad cold and every coughing fit is a nightmare because I pee a little. I'm also trying to find that happy medium with drinking enough water before bed to not wake up parched at 4 am, but also to not wake up at 4 am because my bladder can't hold it in. I have yet to find it.
3.Any appointments this week?
Nothing this week, but I have another ultrasound a week from Tuesday to track growth.
4.Rants/Raves/Questions?
I caught a cold from my toddler son and it just won't go away. I feel better today than last week, but my voice is cracking and I'm still coughing a ton. This is cold #2 in 2-3 weeks with a stomach thing in between. I just want to feel somewhat healthy again.
Also, when does 3rd trimester start? I've seen everything from 26-29 weeks....
5.GTKY: What are your holiday plans?
Nothing crazy - we're Jewish so nothing Christmas specific. I have Friday and then all next week off, so I'll be getting our house ready for #2. That invovles clearing out the room that will be her room, right now it's an "office" with no empty floor space because it's also become overflow toy room for my toddler. I need to organize the basement storage so I have somewhere to store his toys, then organize the toys upstairs, and choose what's being donated. My husband has some time off next week, so if I get the prep done he'll move anything bulky then. Unfortunately, my son would flip out if we start doing this when he's home so I really haven't had a chance to start it since I'm usually at work when he's at daycare.

So excited Christmas is a week away because that means I get to see my family and vacation right after that!
5.GTKY: What are your holiday plans?
We'll leave very early Saturday morning and drive home to Oklahoma, hopefully early enough to beat some traffic.Christmas Eve will be at my in laws. We always do PJs, breakfast foods, firepit and watch a movie. Not sure what we'll do on Christmas day yet, probably just relax. Typically my family does Christmas on Christmas day but this year it worked out better for the 26th, so we'll be with my family all that afternoon and evening. Then we head out to Colorado early on the 27th for a week! We'll head back to OK on the 2nd to pick up our dogs and stay the night, then head back home the 3rd. I am not looking forward to all the driving. I have my compression socks packed and my husband will drive the whole way if I want him to. I feel like I am already checked out of work this week. I just want it to fly by and enjoy my almost 2 weeks off!
@day38 Sorry you're continuing to feel bad, and the peeing when coughing! That is no fun! In regards to your 3rd trimester question, I have seen some conflicting things too, just like with 1st and 2nd trimester. I have seen the start of week 28 as the most common, but to make myself feel better, I might consider week 27 3rd trimester! So we're only 1-2 weeks away!
30 weeks - baby is the size of a zucchini.
2.Any new symptoms or changes?
Nothing new - belly is getting bigger though for sure!
3.Any appointments this week?
Yes! Doctor’s appointment tomorrow & we get to schedule my c-section. Excited to know when his birthday will be! Level 2 Ultrasound next Wednesday to check on baby’s liver & growth.

Still irritated with my MIL but that’s not anything new... lol. See last week’s Monday ticker change if you’re curious.
5.GTKY: What are your holiday plans?
Staying here locally for Christmas. Going to church for Christmas Eve & waking up to do Santa & open presents here with DH & DD. Going to my parents’ house after that (they live a mile away) and eating brunch with them and my brother/his family and opening presents there. We don’t do much for New Year’s... we usually just order takeout and stay in away from the crazies!
28 weeks, eggplant I guess............
2.Any new symptoms or changes?
Acne in weird places, like my effing hairline! Because everyone should feel like a sausage shaped teenager while pregnant.
