Re: Saturday ticker change- 1/6

  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?

    27! First tri; going by way too fast. I think the bump said lettuce. 

    How are you feeling?

    Im feeling pretty good. Getting back into my daily routine post holidays/sickness/traveling. BUT DH has the flu so I am on Tamiflu. Trying not to worry about potential harmful effects.... I cannot get the flu though. The stomach flu was bad enough.

    Any appointments this week?

    had one last week. So I am good for another month then on to biweekly. Not looking forward to that. It was cool getting my uterus measured though.

    Rants/raves?

    Rant-just how sick everyone is. Pretty sure DH picked it up on a flight home from DC. At one point I vividly recall everyone seated around us and to the side coughing at the same time. 

    My rave is disinfectant spray! How I love thee!

    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 

    ok y’all I am extra hungry so I have a lot of options swirling in my head... but I’ll go with a sushi dinner. Spicy tuna roll, philly roll, spider maki, etc. I would get the boat! And some edamame and sea weed salad. And then fried ice cream.

    27 weeks, lettuce
    How are you feeling?
    uncomfortable all the time. I got a yoga ball to sit on, but it hasn't helped too much. 
    Any appointments this week?
    No. But next week I have my OB appt. (just moved to every 2 weeks) and then 2 days later I have my MFM appt. 
    Rants/raves?
    Rant: just so sick of being uncomfortable all the time.
    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 
    Steak cooked medium, mashed potatoes, green beans, all the bread, and creme brulee
  • @sunshine27shy my pillow hasn’t been working that great either! But my hip pain has gone down at least. Hope you get better sleep soon!

    @kmc8217 I feel ya on the lack of comfort- all my insides feel squished. No sure how I’ll go another 13 weeks. 


  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    25 weeks, he's the size of a tarte tatin
    How are you feeling?
    Uncomfortable. My hips hurt, my back hurts, etc. 40 weeks can't come soon enough!
    Any appointments this week?
    Not this week, but I had a surprise echocardiogram last week. Definitely not a pleasant surprise, but everything looked great!
    Rants/raves?
    Going off the last question, I do have a rant. I had my A/S over a month ago, and no one ever went over the results with me. So, when I found out I would be needing to get an echocardiogram and growth scans done at my appointment with my midwife last week due to having a 2 vessel cord, I was pretty unprepared. Apparently they thought they had gone over my results with me. I really do like the birthing center I'm at, and I'm looking forward to having my baby there, but I'm pretty unhappy they dropped the ball.
    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 
    Vegan sushi, no question. Pre-vegan it would have been sushi and sashimi lol. 
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    27 weeks, lettuce

    How are you feeling?
    ok, started taking Zantac for heartburn a few days ago. Seems to help a bit. Sleeping slightly better. Just uncomfortable and huge. Wondering how much bigger I can get these next 10-12 weeks. Eekkk!!!

    Any appointments this week?
    Yes, Thursday. Now I'm at the 2 week mark. 

    Rants/raves?
    Nothing much. Just getting excited about meeting baby! Can't believe I'm almost in the 3rd trimester!!

    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 
    Geeze, IDK... It's tough because I've got Heartburn right now. Lol. I'd say these dumplings I had last time I went to Vegas at this Asian restaurant. They we're the bomb!!! 
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    25 weeksm baseball glove
    How are you feeling?
    Physically, pretty good
    Any appointments this week?
    Not this week. 
    Rants/raves?
    Rave: I have been able to finally feel the baby move on the reg lately!! 
    Rant: DD is sick, again. DH is out of town until the end of next week, let the loneliness set in (pregnancy has me a little melodramatic)
    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...)
    I am literally racking my brain and can not make up my mind. 

    @jkatkins I feel ya on the heartburn. TUMS ALL DAY, ER' DAY!
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?

    27w5d / about 2lbs10oz


    How are you feeling?

    Emotional! I’ve been weepy all week.  Also, my right hip is really bothering me. Diagnosed with rotated hip few years back but have been able to manage the pain up until now. On top of that, right arm is quite tender from the TDAP shot. Other than that, all good here. 


    Any appointments this week?

    My appointment was yesterday. Glucose test (failed), pediatrician tour, sono, regular visit, RhoGAM and TDAP shots, and more blood drawn to recheck thyroid. It was a busy day. 

    Rants/raves?

    Rant: sleeping is becoming more difficult again. Getting there and staying there are hard and then it is more difficult to get up in the mornings.

    Rave: Thursday was our last appointment with the specialist. Everything is progressing as it should. 


    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 

    I have enough trouble planning our meals from day to day. Haha 
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    26 weeks (yesterday). Size of a bowling pin. 

    How are you feeling?
    Sleep is difficult. RLS has popped up and is making things difficult. I get up every night to pee and it takes hours to fall back asleep. Naps have become a necessity. Also getting winded easier and I’m now having heartburn so little lady must have finally moved up some. 

    Any appointments this week?
    Consult/meeting with pediatrician and MFM F/u. 

    Rants/raves?
    This RLS Is awful. 

    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food??
    Sincw I wouldn’t have to worry about my blood sugar, really good fresh cut fries, all the rolls and butter, apple chimi cheesecake from Applebee’s, and probably some kind of amazing steak. 

    Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!


  • It sounds like we all need some sleep! And I can't believe I left off fresh rolls and butter- bread is my favorite 
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    26 weeks.  Butternut squash

    How are you feeling?
    My back is killing me, and emotionally, I'm a hot mess. I cried at Frozen on Ice with my daughter.  It was ridiculous.  I am prone to seasonal depression and the negative temperatures and snowstorm have kept me indoors so I'm definitely feeling it right now.  

    Any appointments this week?
    Nothing this week, but I'm starting every two week appointments now, so next week, I'll do my glucose and rhogam along with my regular appointment.

    Rants/raves?
    Winter is much more fun when you can sip wine by the fire.  Sipping tea just isn't the same.  

    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) 
    King Crab legs with tons of butter.  
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • @fancybelmont hope you get some warmer weather this week! It’s supposed to thaw out.
  • @fancybelmont I feel ya on it being so much more fun sipping wine than tea!

    and bummer on all the aches and pains going on :(

    How many weeks are you/how big is baby?

    27 weeks +2 days- lettuce i guess

    How are you feeling?
    ok most days, can still exercise etc but my rib pain has already begun and is making my commute really tough.

    Any appointments this week?
    Friday- glucose test (i've skipped going the past two weeks!!! no excuses) and a 28 week check up.  Appts will be every 2 weeks now, YAY, 3rd tri and the beloved appts every two weeks milestone.

    Rants/raves?
    Rave- SO and I spent all of saturday working on the nursery.  We demo'd the remaining two walls, bagged and cleaned up all the wall we took down, insulated the outside walls, took out a hall closet that previous owners had built blocking the original doorway (its perfection and i'm so glad we're restoring to some of the original features)and started prepping for SO do drywall!  I think in two more weeks he's going to frame the closets and begin putting walls up! YIPPEE!  And we went to the mall sunday and I was able to ease my mind by grabbing a couple crib sheets and changing pad covers from pottery barn. (we seriously have nothing for this baby!!)

    GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? Ie What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...)
    Indian food!  PRetty much anything, naan, tandoori chicken, shrimp, EVERYTHING!
    BabyFruit Ticker
  • edited January 2018
    How many weeks are you/how big is baby? 27+2. Camping lantern or bunch of bananas!

    How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. The whole polyp issue put me on edge. They told me I'll likely bleed the rest of the pregnancy and it's stressful. Also, I'm just so very tired.

    Any appointments this week? Not until next week.

    Rants/raves? Rant - I'm not supposed to pick up anything heavier than a gallon of milk and this weekend when I was home with DS by myself I REALLY wanted to clean out the attic and move things and I'm just not good at taking it easy. Also I'm on edge because of the bleeding which I was told is fine as long as it doesn't change. Every twinge has me second guessing :(

    Rave - DS is such a sweet little helper lately and helped me put away the laundry! Also an upside of my night at the hospital, I got to see baby again and they could tell that he has hair!

     GTKY: What is your pick for your last meal? What meal would it be and what food?? (I’m feeling extra hungry can’t ya tell...) I'm with @sunshine27shy, I'd probably pick some variation of steak and potatoes haha.

    @codingchildhood That's a pretty big ball to drop! I would be upset too!

     For everybody with heartburn - when I was overnight in the hospital the nurse gave me milk and graham crackers instead of tums, and it actually helped!

    @dubnug That TDAP shot was rough! My arm hurt too.

    @fancybelmont I hope you are feeling better! Not sure where you live but I'm hoping that it's going to warm up a little towards the end of this week so we can at least get outside and get fresh air. Seasonal depression is no joke.

    @ekendall09 Yay for the progress on your nursery!! Just this weekend I started thinking maybe I should buy something for this baby... I was thinking at least maybe picking up some decorations for his alcove and some crib sheets. He's really going to have second child syndrome haha

    Edit - formatting issues
  • @peppersmith22 that would be hard to have them tell you that you will be bleeding the rest of the time. my prayers are with you. 

    we got this ladies I also had a mild panic and realized I havent bought anything for the baby but ended up buying a soft night light and i am hoping that is enough to put me at ease until my shower in a month. 
  • Im also on the no purchases bandwagon! Glad to know we are all in the same boat.
