Thursday Ticker Change 5/17

Ticker change simply means that you have started a new week of pregnancy. For example, I go from 18 weeks to 19 weeks on Thursday 5/17, so my “ticker” changes on Thursdays. It is our way of marking a milestone.
Questions stolen from Monday.
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 could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do?
Re: Thursday Ticker Change 5/17
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 19 weeks, size of a mango or heirloom tomato
2. How are you feeling? I've really grown in the last few days, all the stretching is already uncomfortable. How will I make it??
3. Any appointments this week? ONE MORE WEEK TO AS!
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nope
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do? I've always wanted to write books. I've started writing bits and pieces but never spend the time to fully develop anything. Wish I could just quit my job and focus on that. Or simply just work in a bookstore or library.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 17 weeks, pomegranate or large potato
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good! I feel a lot less overwhelmed this week with everything than I was last week so that’s helping. I haven’t been sleeping great, but I think it’s mostly just the temperature changed here this week.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, not until the AS June 8
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’ve been bugging DH and FIL to start on the baby room and they finally agreed to start next weekend (they would have this weekend but we are going out of town). I know they think it will be an easy project, but with those two it always turns out to be a wayyyyy bigger project than either anticipated. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but we are taking out what the previous owners put in as a large walk-in closet in our 3rd bedroom to make room for baby. I want it mostly done by the time my mom comes for our first shower at the end of June, otherwise we will have very limited space to put all of the baby stuff.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do? I think I would want to own a small restaurant/bakery. I love to cook and bake but I never have time to actually enjoy it, and when I do we try to eat healthy which isn’t the fun stuff to make!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 18 weeks today, size of an artichoke or a croissant!
2. How are you feeling? Feeling good health-wise, but really stressed lately which I know isn’t good (see post in ransoms thread if you’re interested).
3. Any appointments this week? None this week. Next appt at 20 weeks for anatomy scan! How is this still two weeks away?!?
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m patiently waiting to start feeling baby move, but getting less and less patient by the day! I feel like yesterday I may have felt something while watching tv at night, but not sure if I can definitively say that was baby.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do? Maybe I’d be a pastry chef or baker of some sort. I’ve always loved to bake, but baker’s hours are tough, so I don’t think I could do it.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
17 weeks, pomegranate.
2. How are you feeling?
Still very tired.
3. Any appointments this week?
I have on in an hour!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Everyone keeps saying I am glowing.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do?
Run my own child care center. But, I am getting certified this Saturday for that!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 19 weeks, size of a mango or heirloom tomato
2. How are you feeling? Extremely tired. Still battling bronchitis so the coughing is unbearable.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope anatomy scan and OB appointment are both the last week of this month
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just tired.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do? I've been thinking about this a lot and would really love to go back and study to be an adult ESL teacher. We've talked lately about relocating to my husband's native country. Since I don't speak the language, teaching English would be one of the few jobs available to me. I have done volunteer tutoring and really enjoyed it.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 19 weeks, size of a Gameboy according to my other app.
2. How are you feeling? Okay. Lots of BH. Lots of low back pain. Getting to a point where I can’t carry DS anymore. But feeling lots of movement so yay.
3. Any appointments this week? No.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Rant: it sucks that all of the crappy parts of pregnancy start so much sooner with each subsequent kid. Like I don’t even feel like I can enjoy this lately.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do? I would love to be a writer or an English teacher.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
- 20 weeks today and baby is the size of a banana
2. How are you feeling?
- alright, but I have had so much more pressure/pain in my lower abdomen this pregnancy than before. The doctor keeps saying it's just muscle/ligament pain. But it's definitely not like my last pregnancy.
3. Any appointments this week?
- We had our anatomy scan today!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
18 weeks and baby is the size of a croissant
2. How are you feeling? Pretty ok
3. Any appointments this week? Today
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just excited that I've been feeling baby girl move more lately.
5. GTKY: If you could switch careers right now, without any concern for training/knowledge/degrees required or lifestyle or income adjustments, what would you want to be or do?
I always wanted to be an RN. I still plan on going back to school, hopefully in a year or so.
