Tuesday Ticker Change 3/13

DunkinDecaf · March 2018

Posting early because DH is staying home from work for the snow storm tomorrow, so God willing I will be sleeping in as late as my body will let me. Just popped two Benadryl. It’s going down.

To those who are new to the “ticker change” system, it just means you’ve graduated to a new week today (e.g. I will be exactly 8 weeks pregnant Tuesday 3/13, so my “ticker” changes on Tuesdays)

Questions stolen from Sunday.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

2. How are you feeling?

3. Any appointments this week?

4. Rants/raves/questions?

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)

I'm not a Tuesday ticker change person, but your it's going down had me cracking up. Apparently I need sleep.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
8 weeks! Baby’s the size of a raspberry!

2. How are you feeling?
Still sick about 80% of the day every day, but that’s down from 95% of the day, so... better?

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope. Next one is 3/23

4. Rants/raves/questions?
All I have lately are raves. Life has been the normal amount of crazy, but I’m just happier. I’ve been weaning off of my Zoloft (just went down from 150 to 100 about a week ago, down from 200 when I got my BFP) so I’m really pleasantly surprised. I have more interest in my hobbies again, I’m more engaged with the kids (unless I’m hurly), and I’m just way happier. I think it’s a lot to do with having quit drinking, bc I used to love to have a couple glasses of wine in the evenings even though I knew on paper that alcohol is not great for my depression issues. If it keeps up I’m thinking I may just not drink anymore, even after this kid shows up. It’s so nice to be HAPPY again.

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?
I’m currently a SAHM, and I feel like I’ve been on course for this life since DH and I didn’t break up after college. When I graduated I wanted to work with large animals and was looking for jobs in zoos, but I couldn’t find any that would keep me within 1000 miles of him so I scrapped that plan. Looked into becoming a teacher after I gave up on the animals plan but I’m going to go with the animal conservation/zoos thing for my final answer.

TL;DR: I’d like to be working in a zoo or in animal conservation

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
11 weeks!
2. How are you feeling?
Better than I have been. I was in the hospital most of the first week of March due to ulcers but I think they finally found a good mix of meds for me.
3. Any appointments this week?
Yep! I had an U/S yesterday to just follow up and check on baby. Measuring a couple days ahead but everything looked good!
4. Rants/raves/questions?

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)
I current work from home for a case management company that provides services to people who have a developmental or intellectual disability. I love it. Gives me more freedom to see my babies which my last job I worked for 8 years didn't (child fatality supervisor for my state CPS).
I joke with DH that if he didn't distract me in college I would have been a doctor but I doubt that lol

@Gizmo1231 good lord your old job sounds horrible. I can’t imagine.

kimmerann3 · March 2018

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks! Baby is the size of a cherry!
2. How are you feeling?
Okay most of the time but having some major indigestion and good aversions!
3. Any appointments this week?
None this week!
4. Rants/raves/questions?

I am a teacher. After my first DD I seriously considered changing my career to an ultrasound tech! I would love to if it didn’t mean more loans! Guess I’ll stick to teaching third grade instead!!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
8 weeks. Tiny.

2. How are you feeling?
Meh. Could be better, could be worse.

3. Any appointments this week?
Nope. Not until April.

4. Rants/raves/questions?
I’m already struggling so hard to sleep. I’m waking up approximately 472 times a night. With DS I never really had any issues sleeping, so I’m hoping that’s not going to come haunt me this time.

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)
I always wanted to be a SAHM once we had kids. But that’s just not feasible right now, so I work from home for an advertising company.

Not 100% I belong in this one because my U/S keeps changing each time I go in but last one I was measuring 7 weeks last Tuesday so here I am!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
I am 8 weeks now, size of a jelly bean!
2. How are you feeling?
Tired, weak, nauseous. All the gas and food aversions.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, next appointment is the 26th
4. Rants/raves/questions?
None that I can think of!

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)
Currently I am a Network Technician for a local College here. I am the one on the ladders in ceilings running cables and installing networking equipment places to provide magical Internets. I always wanted to be and always will want to be a SAHM, but it does't look like it will be in the cards for me, which is something I am trying to come to terms with in my own time.

@DunkinDecaf it really was horrible. I don't think I realized how much secondary trauma I inflicted on myself. And now how much paranoia I can have with my kids.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 11 weeks! Baby is the size of a lime.

2. How are you feeling? ATM okay. I have terrible gas pains though. Overall, still very nauseous and some vomiting.

3. Any appointments this week? Not this week.

4. Rants/raves/questions? I just want a day off and a nap lol

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)
I’m an elementary music teacher. I guess if I wasn’t this I’d probably be a regular teacher.

@Gizmo1231 That sounds awful! My BFF works for CPS, but not doing that. I could not do that as a mom.

aels12 · March 2018

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7 weeks, baby is the size of a blueberry!

3. Any appointments this week? Not until April

5. GTKY: If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing? (Also, what do you do for work now?)
