Re: Thursday Ticker Change 8/2
2. How are you feeling? Still well for the most part. Sore pelvic area lately. And I got diagnosed with GD so have been trying to figure that out.
3. Any appointments this week? 30 week check-up tomorrow!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I've never really watched my food before, or had to when it actually mattered (before my wedding when I was just trying to lose weight fast). And it hasn't been too bad so far. But I weighed myself this morning and had lost about 5 lbs since last week. I'm sure that's my own weight, but I'm just not sure how to keep weight up when I'm eating so much healthier that I normally do. Something I will talk to doc about.
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? Being too shy or caring what people thought. It's much more fun to dance than to watch from the side!
28 weeks, eggplant
2. How are you feeling?
I have a cold, so meh.
3. Any appointments this week?
I have one tomorrow.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Still just dealing with bull shit from work and trying to find something else until baby is here.

I wish I had found out about Flo-living when I much younger. It would have been nice to not have to deal with acne from pcos and just felt pretty sooner. I spent too long feeling like an ugly troll.
29w6d! baby is the size of an acorn squash
2. How are you feeling?
tired....so very tired. getting harder to stand/walk for extended periods of time (as I discovered during my 45 minute wait in line at the consignment sale on Tuesday!
3. Any appointments this week?
Nothing for me this week, just lots of appointments for my bigger kiddos.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Anxious to start the conversation with HR at work about going on leave. My boss has known since 10weeks, but HR asks that we not start the conversation with them until 32 weeks and that just makes the planner in me crazy since I want to confirm exactly what date I need to make it to to ensure my FMLA covers me until the first of the year
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?
If I could go back and change anything it would probably be like @hannaht8516 mentioned, opening up more and not being so shy. Oooh, or actually, I would go back to when DH and I were dating for only a year and say "YES!" when he roundabout asked me about marriage the first time. lol. It took about 8 more years before we seriously discussed marriage again after that.
2. How are you feeling? Ok most of the time. The acid reflux is still there most days, but it’s been manageable. My back and hips hurt so bad when I get out of bed in the morning, but they seem to feel better after a few minutes of being up and moving. Rolling over is becoming a chore!
3. Any appointments this week? Today! I go for my one hour glucose and 28 week checkup this afternoon. Hopefully I pass the glucose test! I also have to get the rhogam shot because I’m RH negative, and I think I have to get the tdap so this will most definitely not be a fun appointment.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m going to my sisters this weekend for her baby shower. I’m really excited but it’s my first time flying since being pregnant so I’m nervous, especially flying alone. I have compression socks and am planning to stay hydrated and get up every once in a while to stretch. It’s only a 1.5 hour flight so I’m hoping it’s not too bad. Any other tips?
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?
The one regret I have is not really when I was a whole lot younger, but it was buying our first house. We only lived there a year before we decided to move across the state. It cost us quite a bit of money (buying, selling, taxes, etc.), but we are so happy with where we are now and the move was worth it.
2. How are you feeling? Pretty miserable. I’m starting to swell quite a bit, get awful headaches, and my weight gain is picking up significantly so I’m going to go get a BP cuff to monitor my blood pressure. This is similar to how my pre-e started with DD so hoping it’s not happening again. My OB told me to just take it easy right now.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, I have one next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions? DD is acting out a lot and I think it’s because of the baby. I’m doing everything I can to make this adjustment easy for her but it’s just something we’re struggling with.
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? Following my high school boyfriend to a lesser university than where I wanted to go simply because I was scared of what the distance would do to us, then dropping out after 2 years because he had dumped me and I was miserable. Stupid stupid stupid.
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Hip pain when I wake up but it goes away. Getting harder to sit/stand up sometimes because of the belly.
3. Any appointments this week? I had one on Tuesday. I was having mild cramps so my Dr. checked my cervix and it was still long and closed so it’s all good.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Just so excited to finally be in the Third Trimester! It’s hard being due at the end of the month when it feels like everyone else is so much further along!
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? A lot. I would have studied more, saved more and been more confident with life choices.
2. How are you feeling? Still crappy for the most part. Sore hips and back still as well as lots of heartburn.
3. Any appointments this week? I had PT on Monday to help alleviate the hip and back pain. Nothing's really working though.
4. Rants/raves/questions? We close on the new house in 3 weeks and I'm so overwhelmed with packing. I get so tired that it makes it hard to get more than a few boxes done if I'm lucky. Plus school will be starting shortly after we move so I'm trying to get the back to school shopping done as well. It will be worth it to be settled before the baby's due, but right now things suck.
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I regret not being able to finish nursing school after my 1st husband and I separated. Though I enjoy being home with my kids it would've been nice to have finished it. I might have been able to have a job that still allowed for the flexibility to be with my kids and do a job I enjoyed.
2. How are you feeling? overall feeling pretty good. Have more BH lately which is annoying (having one now as I type this even!), but hopefully they don’t get worse or more intense. DH hates it every time I get one!
3. Any appointments this week? had a normal ob appt on Monday, so now none till the end of the month.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I’m sooo ready for the weekend and just want to relax! This week feels like it’s been dragging on!
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? I’d take more time to just do random things and hang out with my dad. We spent lots of time together, but had I known he was going to pass away when I was only 19, I would have cherished those times with him a lot more.
29 weeks, baby is the size of a gallon of milk. She sure feels that way! Lol
2. How are you feeling? Tired and anxious.
3. Any appointments this week?
I had a growth scan on Monday. They finally got the shot of the cord insertion they needed. Also baby girls belly is measuring a few weeks ahead, which basically means my diabetes isn't under control like I thought it was. Baby is measuring 3 lbs 4 oz.
I also had a regular OB appointment this morning. My dr is sending me for an ultrasound of my lower leg because of the terrible vericose viens I have. My appointment is next Wednesday but she told me to go to the ER iv ot becomes painful. She also wants me out of work in the next couple weeks since I'm on my feet all day long.
4. Rants/raves/questions? This baby still doesnt have a name!!!
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently?
I regret not finishing school. I am going back and finishing soon but I just cant help but think how much better off I'd be financially if I had finished already.
ETA baby weight
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good! Bought some new maternity dresses and I love them. Being comfortable in this heat is really is a game changer for my sanity.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, had a lot last week.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Doctors said I need to be sleeping and resting more, which I am looking forward to trying out this weekend.
5. GTKY: What is one regret you have from when you were younger- assuming you still get to the same point in life if you're happy, what would you go back and change/do differently? Spending less on grad/undergrad schools! Cheaper schools would have still gotten me to the same place - I get frustrated now by these loans.
31 weeks size of asparagus
2. How are you feeling?
Nasal dryness and stuffiness this is a symptom I forgot about but I is sooooo annoying when trying to sleep!
Hips sore & so tired; have been needing a nap every afternoon or I can not make it through the day!
3. Any appointments this week?
Wednesday “32 week” appt

wish I would have chosen a career /degree and finished the schooling! I skipped around a lot because I had no idea what I wanted to do
when I finally decided I was married and had a lot of student loans! I wish I would have waited to go to college until I knew more about myself! Feels like it was a big waste of money!
