Re: Friday Ticker Change (5/11)
2. How are you feeling? Decent enough. Some general discomfort, occasional headaches, and peeing all the time. Some mild nausea.
3. Any appointments this week? Next Wednesday is my anatomy US!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I feel like I never have anything to add in this one...Overall just happy to be feeling better and have more motivation. Hoping to get some stuff done this weekend.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Watching him grow and learn. I can't wait to read to him either. I registered for the 3 illustrated HP books that are out.
2. How are you feeling? pretty great most of the time! I need to work at getting some more exercise and eating healthier now that I'm feeling better.
3. Any appointments this week? We have the anatomy scan on 16th and OB appointment the 17th
4. Rants/raves/questions? Now that I'm a mother I hate mother's day. I'm completely a brat about it and feel put out about the busyness and running around for my mom and MIL. I want to just relax and hang out with DD and DH. And to make matters worse making plans with my mother is like pulling teeth and I'm moody and irrationally annoyed.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? The bonding maternity leave alone time but also seeing her interact and become friends with DD and SD
2. How are you feeling? I'm feeling great. honestly if being pregnant is as easy as I have had it sign me up for 5 more!
3. Any appointments this week? No. Have to wait until the 24th for the anatomy US and to find out the sex and it's killing me!

5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? creating a bond with it I never had with my parents. teaching it how to be a good person and how to develop interests and hobbies.
TTC since 2016
Due: October 12, 2018
Location: Ontario, Canada
16 weeks! Avocado
2. How are you feeling?
Pretty good although heartburn has started already. Ugh.
3. Any appointments this week?
No sadly
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I am impatiently counting down until viability because that’s also the time I go on vacation and I need it! Also I suck at drinking enough water. I need to step up my game.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby?
I just can’t wait to hold them and watch them grow.
2. How are you feeling? I'm feeling better, but I still feel nauseous in the mornings. But energy is coming back so looking forward to getting some things done!
3. Any appointments this week? No. I have Anatomy US on May 22! Can't wait! We had talked about finding out the sex just me and DH, but I think we are going to stay team green. DH is pretty convinced now that we are having another boy.
4. Rants/raves/questions? @KFrob I am with you on the Mother's Day BS. DH and I both come from divorced families and every friggin holiday is a nightmare. And I'm sorry, but are we ever allowed to be selfish? Just once I'd love to spend Christmas or Mother's Day or whatever just to myself and my little family.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? I am not a huge fan of the newborn phase, I think I've mentioned before. But I am looking forward to those belly naps with baby, I LOVED having DS nap on my belly while we just lounged
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad, no more MS. Still really tired at night. Backache have started and RLP continues. Peeing a lot.
3. Any appointments this week? Yes, this coming Thursday I have an appointment. Not sure if they will do an ultrasound, I hope they do so we can see how big our little guy has grown.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Excited to be getting away for a few days with my family. We're going to Destin FL for 5 days. The only thing that sucks is my H has to work so he can't make it.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? Bonding with him and getting to see his personality as he grows. Aw, you're making me tear up over here thinking about seeing my baby and reading all your wishes for your babies!
How are you feeling? Good but I am eating poorly just junk food all day.. I don't have any meals to make. I feel lack of energy. Finally started working and slept very well last night for the first time in weeks. I have no a/c in my house but a window unit in the babys room so we slept in his room starting 2 days ago so I'm not sweating all night now.
Any appointments this week?
No Anatomy scan May 21st
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Why did it have to get hot so early? I just bought another window unit but the window wont open. The owners before us painted the whole window and put paint in the sides. I hate summer so far.
What are you most looking forward to with the new baby?
Holding and seeing my son with his new brother. I realize that the newborn phase is small and they grow up fast. I am waking up all the time with DS so I won't sleep for 2 years straight lol
16 weeks - avacado
2. How are you feeling?
Symptom wise? Fine. Peeing a lot. Finally telling people at work, and starting to show!
3. Any appointments this week?
No appointments until the 29th when we get to do the anatomy scan
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Mostly I just feel like I look fat and not pregnant. Excited for the baby to grow and to get more of a baby belly
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby?
Seeing how my husband becomes a dad. We've been together for 8 years and our lives are going to change so much and I'm excited to see the new roles we take on.
2. How are you feeling? Definitely at that point where I’m starting to feel uncomfortable at night. Will only get worse too
3. Any appointments this week? not until May 31st
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m with those who are already exhausted thinking about mother’s day this weekend.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? We are completing our family with this baby. Can’t wait to see how our family dynamic grows together over time. Also can’t wait for family vacations when the kids are older and know what’s going on!
19 weeks, mango
2. How are you feeling?
feeling pretty good
3. Any appointments this week?
US and appt on thursday 5/17
4. Rants/raves/questions?
this dumb nerve pain at the top of my bump has started again. (as a kid did you ever do "snake bites" on each other's arms with your siblings/friends where you grab on and twist in opposite directions? that feeling...) pretty sure the damage was done with my first when i was much smaller to begin with and had a lot more stretching to do to house baby, but inevitably the pain comes back every time. As a doctor told me then, "you wait a few months, have a baby, all better." Fair enough. Until then ice packs and whining will have to do the trick.
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby?
oh geez...everything. i love labor and delivery (glutton for punishment? maybe). i love kissing their soft squishy little necks, baby-wearing (my carriers are all ready to go), watching their relationship with the rest of the crew...
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good, a bit bigger than I expected at this point but hey whatever!
3. Any appointments this week? None until the 31st.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nope
5. GTKY: What are you most looking forward to doing with this baby? This isn't really a "doing" but I'm looking forward to finding out what sex this baby is! We're team green and I love it, but I'm just so curious if DS will get a little brother or sister. Other than that I am looking forward to all the baby snuggles and seeing another little personality develop! So far that's been my favorite thing while watching DS grow!
