Re: Weekend Ticker Change 2/9-2/11
How are you feeling? Better than I have been since getting ku.
*knock on wood* No more ms. I'm slowly getting back into eating normal foods. Still missing coffee though.
Any appointments this week? Nothing until 3/1. I do have a prenatal class called Baby Basics next Thursday. It should be interesting.
Rants/raves/questions? I haven't felt the baby move yet. I know this is normal for FTM however I just want some reassurance he/she is okay.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? I wanted to be a Veterinarian. However, I am now a QA Analyst going for my Computer Science degree. Veterinarian still very much sits at the back of my mind.
ETA: I realized I should have put my new week since this is the weekend ticker change...
18 weeks, size of an artichoke!
How are you feeling?
Feeling good! Although I tossed and turned a lot last night and now my RLP is acting up.
Any appointments this week?
Nope none till the 28th
Rants/raves/questions?
I get to have a date tonight and it’s going to be the highlight of my month I think lol
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now?
I think when I was young I wanted to be a teacher or an actor. When I was heading to college I wanted to be a genetic counselor but I knew I was going to get married and my H is a small business owner so I wouldn’t be able to relocate for schools and there weren’t any with that were close enough. I’ve been a mom most of the time since I’ve been married so I haven’t really had any chance to do anything. I’d love to train to be a doula though.
19+6 mango! (My anatomy scan earlier this week showed him to be weighing 11 oz!)
Okay overall, the sciatic pain has been kicking my butt lately but I'm trying not to focus on it because I know the bigger I get the worse it will be
I have another ultrasound on the 20th. Because of baby's position the tech couldn't get a few shots she wanted during the anatomy scan but I'm not complaining cause I get to see him again! And this time I'm bringing my mom and 9 year old sister with me so that'll be fun
I've been getting out of breath SO fast lately. I was walking the dog yesterday and could barely keep up with her, I wanted to just lay down in the snow and cry lol
I wanted to be a teacher or an author. I was going to school to be an English professor before my whole cancer debacle. I finished my associates. I'm going to be a sahm but I may go back to school later on
18 wks on Friday, artichoke!
How are you feeling?
Ok, been getting a few BH already.
Any appointments this week?
Nothing this week other than blood work for thyroid and antibodies test for baby. NT scan the 23rd with regular doc appointment right before it.
Rants/raves/questions?
Told myself i need to lay off the burritos while at the grocery store yesterday. Wish i bought them lol i want one so bad!
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now?
A dancer, artist, or doctor. I’ve been working for a solar company for over 5 yrs. However it is related to what in studied in college.
How are you feeling? - so freaking over the constant headaches/migraines. Otherwise good, anxious for the anatomy scan...I just want to know (as much as I can) that everything is ok in there.
Any appointments this week? - nothing this week...AS is on the 23rd
Rants/raves/questions? - I am so freaking ready for my house to be ready and for the snow to stop. It’s honestly been snowing for like three days. I just want to hibernate til spring.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? - a vet or an OBGYN. I’m a pediatric nurse now
How many weeks are you/baby's size?
17 on Sunday - pomegranate
How are you feeling?
super for the last month. I was pretty sick First tri.
Any appointments this week?
nope. Next is the 23 with MFM for anatomy scan and echo
Rants/raves/questions?
i just wish I had more energy! I’m so pooped by the end of each day.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now?
I wanted to be an eye doctor when I was in grade school. Late in high school and in early college I wanted to be a financial advisor, but then by the end of my undergrad I was working in politics. I had another career after graduating and am now a wealth management advisor for high net worth individuals and families. So yes, I am! It’s funny how careers and opportunities evolve over tome...
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Lots of stretching pain today as I lay here in bed avoiding getting up.
Any appointments this week? Nope, next week
Rants/raves/questions? Nada
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now?
I wanted to be a Broadway star. Now I’m a CPA who does community theater for fun.
20 weeks today, size of a banana!
How are you feeling?
Not bad lately, nausea mostly gone. Still really tired. Headaches and heartburn are now a thing.
Any appointments this week?
anatomy scan on Valentine’s Day!
Rants/raves/questions?
my rant is about how sore my legs and hips get while I’m sleeping! Can never get comfy. My rave is that I’m halfway there!
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now?
I wanted to be an interior designer or a veterinarian. I was a hairstylist for 5 years and now I do reception/assisting in a vet clinic... so close enough lol
How are you feeling? Feeling good, tossing and turning a bit. FTM anxiety/ regular anxiety kicking my butt some days, but I just had my 18 week visit and heard Baby's heartbeat and that felt great.
Any appointments this week? Anatomy scan on Valentine's Day...I'm hoping that brings me a little love day luck!
Rants/raves/questions? Wish 2nd tri appointments weren't so far apart. I like hearing the heartbeat all of the time. I've debated buying a Doppler, but I'm worried that I'll use it wrong and get panicked if I can't find the heartbeat. Seems like others are having luck with them though!
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? As a little girl, I always wanted to be a dancer. I was never really talented, but I just liked it. After college, on a whim, I applied to teach one dance class in town and I got it! I teach kindergarten during the day time (which is the best fun in the world), but at night I teach dance. I ended up taking on ballet, tap, jazz, tumbling, hip-hop...the whole smorgasboard. The best part is I get the tiniest little dancers. They are wild and adorable!
How are you feeling? Fine. I am enjoying the calm before the "Holy crap I am fat" storm
Any appointments this week? Just an OB appointment
Rants/raves/questions?
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? Crap, I am 36 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. That's the biggest provlem I have had in my life, no solid plan. Don't get me wrong, I have been successful in the past, but I have no end game, no big dream. I am more of just running on the corporatetreadmill
How are you feeling? pretty good! Finally getting some energy back and don’t feel sick all the time. I wake up with a dull headache most days though but they usually go away after eating breakfast and drinking some coffee and chugging water.
Any appointments this week? I had one on Tuesday which was uneventful. Anatomy scan and next appt is the week of 3/5.
Rants/raves/questions? DH felt the baby kick yesterday! I was shocked because it seemed early even for baby #5. It was the strongest kick I’ve felt yet and she kicked right at his hand lol. It was awesome because we have this running joke when I’m pregnant that the babies just don’t like him. He/she could be kicking away and as soon as he puts his hand on my belly he/she would stop.
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? I wanted to be a veterinarian or an astronaut. Once I got to high school and realized that math and science were not my strong suit I changed my mind lol. My bachelors degree is in family studies and social work but I’m not doing anything with that at all. I’ve been working as a legal assistant for the last nine years. I like it well enough but I’m staying home once this baby is born and someday I plan to become a doula and possibly a lactation consultant.

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good lately. The nausea seems to be gone now (thank goodness), but it's been replaced by a few headaches a week, which I never used to have. Finally bought some maternity pants, I was over the belly band holding up my regular ones. Still in that in-between stage though where I just look chunkier and not preggo
Any appointments this week? None this week
Rants/raves/questions? Rant - I work in HR and sometimes seriously feel more like a kindergarten teacher. I'm not sure how some adults actually function throughout life. We provide snacks in our office and have a pretty generous budget and I swear if people don't just keep asking for more - seriously have grown men asking if we can get milk and cereal for them in the office...
GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Is this what you do now? So many things - singer, doctor, nurse, vet, teacher, psychologist....Sort of, I can roll a bit of psychologist and teacher into my practice. I do really enjoy what I do, but sometime adults act like children and I really wish I could treat them that way...haha
