Thursday Ticker Change (5/10)

This one always gets started so late, and I'm usually waiting for it, so thought I'd take some initiative. Hopefully not overstepping!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

Re: Thursday Ticker Change (5/10)
2. How are you feeling? Pretty normal
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, still counting down to Anatomy Scan, 2 weeks!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Not really a rant or rave or question, but I've been feeling lots of movement which I'm very excited about. Baby still seems to be very low, which I think makes it easier to feel. (Idk, first timer). But I'm also waiting for my bump to round out and look cuter. It's still all in the bottom part and the top still just looks fluffy. Not complaining though, this nugget has been good to me so far.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Probably just getting to teach it stuff and watching them experience things for the first time. My husband and I laugh a lot, so can't wait to see how funny this kid is.
2. How are you feeling? Sciatic pain started this week.
3. Any appointments this week? Nothing this week
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? I love the newborn phase. I love holding little tiny babies. I love the newborn smell. I always miss the newborn phase when my babies start to get older.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18 weeks, the size of a bell pepper?
2. How are you feeling? Terrible. I went to the urgent care this past weekend. I have bronchitis and a cold. I'm coughing constantly with chest pains.
3. Any appointments this week? No, my anatomy scan is in about 2 1/2 weeks.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just mostly tired from the bronchitis in addition to caring for my crew. My husband's been frustrated with his job and currently looking for other options. I'm okay with it, but it means that if he does get a new job there will be no FMLA so he won't have as much time to take off after the baby's born to help with the older kids as school starts up again.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Nothing in particular. Just happy to be adding to our family. I hope the kids will continue to be excited about their new sibling and develop an incredible bond.
16 weeks! Avocado
2. How are you feeling?
I have terrible headaches when I wake up and my back kills in the morning- I need a pregnancy pillow but I'm being cheap!
3. Any appointments this week?
Yes on Satuday! Last minute decision to do the elective ultrasound to find out baby's Sex.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Just so excited to find out if it's a boy or girl!
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby?
Seeing my husband with them, teaching them things, seeing what/who they end up looking like, Reading the Harry Potter series when they get older.
2. How are you feeling? Braxton Hicks have already started again and I’m having horrible pelvic pain. Plus I have a cold. But baby is moving quite a bit so that’s good
3. Any appointments this week? Nope.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Work is stressing me to the max and I’m about ready to walk out. Of course I won’t, but I want to.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Just seeing DS with him. DD is such a good big sister anyway so I know she’ll do great, but I’m super excited to see how DS likes having a baby brother.
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. Occasional headache, but overall not terrible.
3. Any appointments this week? Just had one yesterday and it was awesome to hear the heartbeat again! It’s nice knowing things are still ok in there. I didn’t realize how much worth and anxiety come with pregnancy! Scheduled my anatomy scan for June 8, the day after my 30th birthday!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing really, just excited to have the anatomy scan scheduled! Also I’m excited that my grandma and Mom are planning our first shower. We went to register this past weekend and that was a bit overwhelming. I didn’t realize how many things I didn’t know we would need, which then makes me worry I’m missing something important. I think I’m just extra moody and overwhelmed with everything this week.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? I’m really looking forward to seeing their personality and what type of person they grow in to. As for doing with them specifically, I’m excited to walk with them to our downtown and take them to the park.
2. How are you feeling? Finally almost no nausea and headaches getting better. Just so stuffed up! And already feeling huge.
@britvahok Do you have anything you do for the sciatica? Just started feeling it too and was going to look up stretches and stuff on YouTube. (Which would require getting up off the couch I guess)
3. Any appointments this week? Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions? got my first random tubby rub from an acquaintance. So weird, at least ask first!
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Honestly, I’m having a hard time getting excited or looking forward because I can only think about how hard it will be with 2 newborns who don’t sleep (if anything like my first). I’m trying to remind myself that so far they are growing perfectly and seem healthy and I should be grateful for that and how fun it will be eventually even if it’s not what I expected.
2. How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good, though my hips have been hurting me a lot more lately.
3. Any appointments this week? None this week. Just waiting on my 20 week appt and anatomy scan 3 weeks from today!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m so anxious to start feeling the baby move! I know I have an anterior placenta, so I don’t expect much yet, but I want it so bad!
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? I’m really looking forward to seeing how DS will be with a little brother, and how he’ll adapt to not being an only child anymore.
2. How are you feeling? Mooooooody. I am irrational and impatient ALL THE TIME. These hormones are making me feel crazy.
3. Any appointments this week? My anatomy scan is on Monday the 14th! So excited but also very nervous
4. Rants/raves/questions? I am officially about to transition to maternity pants. Haha. My shirts havent fit properly for a while now but my pants still fit... not so much anymore
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? EVERYTHING!!!!! I am a speech pathologist so I cant wait to hear all of its little sounds and coos and babbles.
2. How are you feeling? Tired but 0therwise pretty good.
3. Any appointments this week? Next Friday
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Like @pumpkinpancake, I'm most excited to see DS with his baby sister. He has two much older brothers and a sister from SO previous marriage but we hardly see them now that they are grown, so essentially he is an only child.
