Re: DD Check-in First week of June (week of 1/4)
18 weeks today! Baby is the size of an artichoke according to The Bump.
What are you looking forward to this week?
Hopefully a lot more movements. I had some significant ones a couple of weeks ago, which was unexpected. Bubby felt like they rolled the same way I did when I shifted positions in the middle of the night (same thing happened two nights in a row)!
What are you dreading this week?
Nothing in particular. I feel like my heart starts to race when I switch sleeping positions for a few seconds before it calms down again. It makes me anxious to go to sleep every night!
Any questions?
I guess maybe if anyone else is experiencing the jumping heart rate? I know there are big cardiovascular changes happening, but I can't help but feel anxious. I know my ticker is okay because I've had tests done a couple of years ago when I started experiencing some palpitations. Still can't help but wonder if any of this is affecting baby and makes me have health anxiety all over again.
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
Regular pampering - haircuts, manicures, pedicures, etc. I cut back since I'm trying to avoid spending too much, although it feels great to treat myself to those things and definitely need to do them much more!
•I’ll be 19 weeks tomorrow. Almost half way!! Size of a little sweet potato currently (at 18.6)
What are you looking forward to this week?
• I don’t have much going on this week. We’re going to start building a few things for inside our living room so I guess that. And hopefully feeling this little babe move, but I’m pretty sure I have an anterior placenta like last time.
What are you dreading this week?
•uhmmmm I don’t think anything at the moment
Any questions?
•nada
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
•working out 100%. My mind goes alittle nuts if I can’t get a workout in. I also like a nice mani/ pedi occasionally.
What are you looking forward to this week? Well, I had been looking forward to my anatomy scan, massage and acupuncture, but our flight got cancelled so we're still in CA.... hoping to be able to get on a flight tomorrow so I can still do fancy tea with my friend which we planned like a month ago.
What are you dreading this week? I mean, I don't want to be in limbo anymore, but I also don't want to get on a plane back to the arctic tundra that is NYC. So....
Any questions? So my anatomy scan will now be at 20+4... that's fine, right? The front desk said yes, but they're morons at my OB's office so...
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care? Sheet masks, hot baths with jojoba oil and epsom salt...
@doxiemoxie212 Sorry you missed out on your appointments
How far along are you? How big is baby?
18 weeks today! Baby is the size of a sugar glider.
What are you looking forward to this week?
Still waiting to feel movement, maybe this week? A friend of mine who is the same height/body type as me said she felt hers at 20 weeks so still patiently waiting. Also, basing off of my own bump pic last week I thought this week I'd have something to show for HDBD but nope, seems to habe gone a step backwards. Otherwise, nothing too exciting... see below.
What are you dreading this week?
We STILL have no water, since last Friday. We have to wait for a drain tech to come (who knew that was a thing?) to put a camera down the pipes to find the leak. With the storm, I'm sure they're not coming until next week. The insurance company said they would reimburse hotel costs but I have my dog and my birds to worry about. No water sucks and we've spent almost $200 so far on water jugs alone.
Also dreading asking DH if I can go to England with my parents in March to visit family since it will probably be the last chance I get for a while. My mom wants to book the tickets today/soon and she wants to know if I'm going. We spent a lot at Christmas, plus his emergency room visit last week will be billed soon, plus the deductible for the insurance claim, plus everything we have to buy for this LO. Oh and the taxes we'll have to pay in April, plus I keep nagging him to go on a babymoon. It's not too much to ask, right????
Any questions?
I did, but I forgot.
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
It's actually laughable when I think about it. I get my hair cut like once a year, rarely get my nails done, hardly ever buy new clothes for myself and haven't had a massage in a while. Like @boymama29 I used to work out a ton but that has flopped too. I guess I can say I like to take a nice bath with a LUSH bath bomb and light a candle and drink some wine. But now that I'm pregnant I'm nervous about hot baths and wine is off the table, so I guess I don't do that either now. Clearly I need to put some self-care items on my own agenda
@doxiemoxie212 mine is scheduled for 20+1 and my OB had said it was fine to schedule any time that week so I’d say you should be fine!
18+4, artichoke
What are you looking forward to this week?
Getting together with a friend on Friday so our kids can have a play date. I don’t do this often enough.
What are you dreading this week?
On Monday I’ll be taking the cat in to get fixed... I hate seeing my animals out of sorts.
Any questions?
Not at the moment
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
I like to take my long, relaxing showers while DD is napping so that I’m uninterrupted. It’s a little bit of both physical and mental self care for me that way.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
19 weeks tomorrow - size of a mango
What are you looking forward to this week?
hitting the 20 week mark and feeling more baby movements! They are the best! Also, I’ve ordering some baby things.. so receiving those in the mail will be exciting!
What are you dreading this week?
Nothing in particular. Just hoping DH can find some winter work soon because having him home is kind of becoming old.. I need routine again.
Any questions?
none
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
buying home decor & making our house cute. Going out for a nice dinner. And treating myself to lattes. Sometimes getting pedicures or massages.
How far along are you? How big is baby?
19wks. Size of a game boy.
What are you looking forward to this week?
had my anatomy scan today. So that was the highlight of my week!
What are you dreading this week?
I wanted DS' school to get called off tomorrow. Which it did. Now to deal with him.. while i work lol.
Any questions?
can you believe we're almost HALF WAY?! Whhhhhaaatt?!
GTKY: What's your personal version of self care?
like @becca_123 I don't do much of the pampering... regular haircuts, mani, pedi, don't like massages, not a wine drinker for a glass and bath etc.
i do still have my 5 yr old nap on Saturdays. (DH is usually working also). Mainly cause I really enjoy those couple hours, on the couch, by myself, playing on social media, catching up on my shows. I mentally need that time.
I honestly would love to get regular manicures, I should add that in soon. After baby, maybe that'll be my mom time out of the house.
