GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
Re: Monday Ticker Change 1/15
29 weeks! Baby is the size of a acorn squash or the size of Gizmo (so I guess no feedings after midnight LOL)
How do you feel?
Ok I feel last week I was just in a fog because I felt so tired. BH have been no joke last week and the start of this week.
Any appts this week?
Nope not until next week.
Rants/raves/questions?
Work is a pain, the more I learn of the things changing with the stuff I have done for the last 5 years just to validate lazy coworkers position makes me more angry. Also the co-worker who will be filling in for me while I'm on leave keeps changing things and I keep telling her to stop. Is it time to be back from maternity leave yet?
Also I can't stop listening to The Greatest Showman soundtrack it's so freaking good, I wish I could see the movie everyday.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
Cheese fries and beer.
27 weeks. Baby is the size of lettuce, whatever that means.
How do you feel?
Worsening heartburn but otherwise great.
Any appts this week?
Not this week. I did find out I passed my glucose screening last week though!
Rants/raves/questions?
I’m so glad I switched OBs this time around. I didn’t have a bad experience with my last OB but the practice wasn’t very organized. My new OBs practice is affiliated with the hospital where I’m delivering and they are so organized. Also I love having MyChart and actually seeing all of my test results after every appointment.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
@Dumbgurl04 a beer is definitely on my list too! With my first I had chick fil a right after delivering—so here’s hoping this one doesn’t come on a Sunday!
28 weeks--yay for 3rd tri! Baby is the size of an eggplant or a roller blade.
How do you feel?
Actually better--either the baby has moved off of my nerve or I'm just getting used to the aches and pains. Hard to say. It's getting harder to sleep though.
Any appts this week?
Not this week.
Rants/raves/questions?
I'm getting antsy to get the nursery set up, but it's currently being used for storage and is full of larger trash/donate items we haven't gotten rid of yet. I keep asking DH to move the big stuff out so I can get to the rest but he keeps saying he's too tired and just wants to relax on the weekends. Tough stuff, bud!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
I'm seriously wondering whether it would be okay to bring sushi in to the recovery room for my post-birth meal. Probably not going to happen.
@rmmorris congrats for passing the glucose test!
@kaymaroo ugh I hear you on the sleep issues, its been so hard lately! Nothing makes me comfortable, it seems.
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
29! Baby is the size of a cauliflower.
How do you feel?
Uhhh compared to the norovirus I had last week, fan-freaking-tastic!
Any appts this week?
Nada. 30 week appt next Wednesday.
Rants/raves/questions?
Rave: I’m probably going to jinx myself by saying this, but I feel like I’ve finally gotten into a really good rhythm with my kids lately. Between DS starting preschool 2 mornings a week and DD going to daycare a few hours per week, I think we’re in a groove and I feel like I’m not as crazy as I used to be — which is a HUGE relief. Pretty soon I’ll have a 3 year old, a 17 month old and a newborn and I was worried I wouldn’t have my first two under control before the third one arrives!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
I’ll have to wait a little while for it, but I cannot freaking wait for fresh raw oysters and white wine this summer. I basically break every single pregnancy “rule” except those: no booze and no oysters. We go to Cape Cod most weekends over the summer and I’ve been dreaming about sitting on a restaurant deck, drinking super cold Chardonnay and eating oysters. YUM.

Edit 2: lol I just realized my phone autocorrected to “The Greatest Snowman.” Leaving it.
28 weeks!! Third trimester, big eggplant baby
How do you feel?
great! Heartburn has eased up. A little achey and she's big enough to make my tummy a little uncomfy when I'm trying to asleep. On the other hand, started hiking and giving outdoor jogging a real go again and it's been great.
Any appts this week?
28 week appt on Friday, routine
4D ultrasound Sunday with mom dad fiance and best friend, which should be fun!
Rants/raves/questions?
it's the third trimester which is new for me so I'm overly excited. She's big enough to feel on both sides of my stomach simultaneously and I think that's super cool.
I had my hospital tour last week and it really stoked me out for April, I officially can't wait for birthday
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
something I can already have, but I bet In n Out will be amazing after birth. Also, I've recently gotten my cravings back for IPAs, so gimme a few of those haha.
@kaymaroo That's what our nursery room is like. I finally got DH to start doing things because it is taking forever to clean it out. Plus I must be nesting because I'm cleaning and throwing away junk that we haven't used in ages out. Which means the past couple weeks our garbage bin has been overflowing.
@kmalls glad you are feeling much better!
How many weeks are you/baby's size? 29!
How do you feel? Not bad. A little uncomfortable.
Any appts this week? Nope. Not until the 23rd for my 30 week appointment.
Rants/raves/questions? I wish I could sleep a little better. I'm up every hour or more switching sides because side sleeping is killing my hips. I woke up on my back last night so comfy, I sat for a moment thinking about not getting back on my side. But I eventually rolled over.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth? I would love a glass of wine but honestly I'm not craving it right now. Obviously there are days that I could really use a glass but I'll live.
@rmmorris Congratulations on passing your glucose test! Chik-fil-a sounds like a great post-delivery food choice!
@kaymaroo Woohoo for the third trimester! So glad you're feeling a bit better, too.
@kmalls Hooray for getting in a good rhythm with your kids.. that must be a great feeling before baby arrives!
@priestess619 Glad your heartburn is easing up. Have fun at your 4D ultrasound.. I bet that'll be so fun!
How many weeks are you/baby's size? 26 weeks. I feel like I'm starting to mix up what week I'm on.. unfortunately I usually calculate it a week ahead.
How do you feel? I am feeling pretty well, besides my hip and tailbone pain. I can still get around just fine but when I go from laying to standing.. It's a struggle.
Any appts this week? Nope. In two weeks I have my glucose test.
Rants/raves/questions? The Gymboree at our local mall is going out of business and everything is now up to 80% off. I've bought so many clothes for up to 18 months of age. The week before they close, it's 90% off.. we definitely don't need more (especially since I have no idea how big LO will be when she arrives) but I cannot resist a good sale!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth? This is such a great question. I will definitely be having a margarita at some point that first week after birth. Sushi sounds lovely too.
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
26 weeks
How do you feel?
super weepy. I don’t remember this last time? I am crying at everything. And not just trivial crying, but full on hopeless sobbing. What is wrong with me?! Oh right I’m pregnant.
Any appts this week?
nope
Rants/raves/questions?
happy to have an extra day off for MLK! My husband doesn’t get most federal holidays off but randomly has this one so we’re enjoying the long weekend with DS.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
umm wine? Or anything tomato based without a well timed dose of Zantac beforehand!
@Puddlewonderful whaaaaat? I might have to re-evaluate you entirely based on that statement! J/k j/k but honestly that might be my all time favorite movie. I adore La La Land. Adore it.
@kmalls DH wouldn't see it either so I went and saw it after DD went to bed one night.
27 weeks - about 14 inches and 2 pounds
How do you feel?
We've been working on cleaning out the garage and painting the nursery this weekend so I'm absolutely exhausted. We also hosted my whole family for dinner for the first time in our new condo this weekend. Other than being tired, I've been feeling ok. Still waking up feeling pretty sore everywhere.
Any appts this week?
Nope.
Rants/raves/questions?
You guys. My best friend has been TTC for 4 years and had a failed round of IVF right when I found out I was pregnant. SHE'S PREGNANT! She's only 5 weeks in, so we're being cautiously optimistic.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
@kmalls, raw oysters were the first thing that came to mind for me too!
Since that won't be happening for a little bit, one of the first things I'd like to have is a nice hoppy IPA, like @priestess619 said. I'm also looking forward to sushi or poke.
@kmalls White wine and oysters sound perfect...not to mention the beach setting!
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
27; lettuce. Come on last week of second tri!!!
How do you feel?
This past week has been really really rough. I'm going on day 5 of bad chest congestion and the flu. I literally laid in bed for 3 days unable to do anything I was so weak. My main concern was the baby with my high temp. I broke my fever once and it came back the next day. The flu this year is no joke. Today was extra rough. May be TMI, but after being in bed for 3 days, I was constipated. I hurt so bad but couldn't go. I sat in the bathroom at Homegoods and just bawled because nothing would happen and it hurt so bad. Walking around the store felt like I was running a marathon. I ended up just having to go back home and lay in bed...again.
Any appts this week?
Have my glucose test tomorrow. I called the dr. because I was worried meds like Robitussin DM would interfere with my results. They said it wouldnt, but we'll see. Also, its supposed to ice tonight and most of the town is already calling closures for tomorrow, so who knows if the appointment will even happen.
Rants/raves/questions?
None other than really really want this flu to be over. I know babies are resilient, but I feel so bad for all the stress the coughing, high temps and lower food intake has been on the baby.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
A freakin margarita. God I miss those lol. I haven't been very particular about avoiding foods, just careful about where I get them from, so I can't say I'm missing out on a lot.
How do you feel? I felt pretty great this week. I'm getting RLP a lot and I've never had that before so that is new and kind of sucks
Any appts this week? Next week... Glucose test!
Rants/raves/questions? Nothing today that i can think of
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth? @Dumbgurl04 LOVE this question! I always get a huge DR. PEPPER (I can't do carbonation when I'm pregnant) and Five Guys burger and fries. I've also gotten taco bell and pizza lol. I ALSO eat all my hospital food
DS: EDD, December 19th, 2014. Born, December 19th, 2014!
DD: EDD, July 18th, 2016. Born, July 19th, 2016!

@kmalls, I'm totally dreaming about your summer plans on the cape now...

Baby #3: EDD, April 16th, 2016
Wanted to say, I thought I was on the 8 ball this week and actually doing a Monday Ticker update because I have been busy the last couple weeks...then realized it was Tuesday
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
I am 27 weeks. Size of a Cucumber or..camping lantern!
How do you feel?
I feel...tired. I have been having trouble getting comfortable sleeping the last couple nights so that's so fun, and I've been having tailbone/groin pain pretty bad. I never had any of that with my DD so it's a whole new world. Otherwise not too bad. Also weird random anxiety that I feel even in my chest, which I have also never had.
Any appts this week?
Not till next week!
Rants/raves/questions?
All thee above is a rant I suppose lol Rave: My husband is being MUCH better about helping/not complaining about doing certain things for DD because he is finally realizing how much I actually do. Which is just refreshing to not have to NAG for him to pick her up from daycare when I need him to.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
I really haven't thought about it. I remember last time not really wanting food at all...but a daiquiri will probably be really nice.
@scuba_chic sorry to hear you are so sick! I went through that over the holidays and it was terrible. I was worried about the baby too, since my body was sore from so much coughing. My docs told me they are really well protected in there though!
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
27 weeks - lettuce (my other app says camping lantern, which sounds way bigger)
How do you feel?
Happy I passed my glucose test (then ate a cinnamon roll and cheese grits and shrimp afterward). Feeling generally big ... it's starting to get harder to move and play with my little on the floor. Can't believe I still have 3 months to grow.
Any appts this week?
Not until Feb.
Rants/raves/questions?
I finally did some baby-related things, which helped my anxiety about the next couple of months. Registered for an infant CPR class, put some things I need on a secret Amazon registry, decided on a nursery theme, and ordered some nursery bedding and decor. It's a start!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
@kaymaroo last time my mom brought me sushi to the hospital on day 2! It was soo good. I definitely can't wait for some red wine and good sushi!
27 weeks! One week countdown until 3rd tri!
How do you feel?
Good except still dealing with pelvic pain.
Any appts this week?
Yes, I have my dreaded glucose test next Thursday.
Rants/raves/questions?
I’m checking in a day late because I was traveling from MI back to Texas yesterday. Had my baby shower this past weekend which was SO nice to see friends and family but it’s never enough time. I feel like the weekend was over in a blink! My rave for today though is that work just got cancelled because of snow/ice! Never thought I would actually get a snow day in Houston. Now I am planning everything we still need to buy and from what stores to get the best discounts.
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
Wine? lol Other then alcohol I don’t feel like I have really missed out on anything so whatever sounds good at the time! Definitely some sushi at some point.
@kaymaroo I feel you on the nursery. My H was supposed to start painting this weekend when I was gone and he didn't do anything.
@kmalls Glad you are feeling better!
@scuba_chic I'm so sorry to hear you came down with the flu! I have been such a crazy person about not getting sick. My friends all made fun of me for wearing a face mask on the plane this weekend but I don't care!
25 weeks, cauliflower
How do you feel?
I started feeling contractions last night, I assume they were braxton hicks. They went away once I sat down and drank some water. I'm going to hydrate more and take it easy.
Any appts this week?
None, had my appointment last Friday, it went great!
Rants/raves/questions?
I did the 1 hour glucose test last Friday, and accidentally drank a glass of orange juice an hour before I needed to drink the glucose drink. I still passed the 1 hr test, whew!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
I think I'd like to pack some beer and/or wine in my hospital bag.
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
28, eggplants
How do you feel?
Lots on sinus crud, worse than before. On my feet very long without bellyband, I feel lots of pubic pressure/pain. In bed, very uncomfortable, especially switching sides.
Any appts this week?
nope
Rants/raves/questions?
Vacation is hard when you’re as round as I am lol!
GTKY: what food and/or drink do you want to have first after birth?
Food - eh. Maybe sushi. Definitely want a brown ale- maybe one from a few different breweries to know which I like best!
