Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 08/15
29 weeks, cabbage.
2. How are you feeling?
Much better this week after seeing the chiro.
3. Any appointments this week?
Massage therapist and chiro. Found out they're both covered 100% by my insurance now that I've met my deductible! I'm going to take full advantage until this baby comes and even after.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rant - so over work already. I've got a lot of prep to do before I go out on leave but mentally I am done!!
Rave - our apartment is coming along slowly. Soon enough I'll be done unpacking our stuff and have time to actually setup baby stuff. Woot!
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
Pre-kids any blue beach with a pina colada in hand!
33w size of a pineapple
2. How are you feeling?
good, tired, out of breath, large, uncomfortable, oh what else? Lol I feel pregnant.
3. Any appointments this week?
Tomorrow I have a growth scan and a follow up appointment.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
none right now..
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
DH and I havent been on any sort of recurring vacation we just kind of pick a place and go which is always fun. I think we'll try to do an annual once the babies get older and we need less stuff for them lol
Were going to Montana with DHs entire family next summer.. that will be interesting
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
31 weeks, football
2. How are you feeling?
tired, the exhaustion is hitting me pretty hard around 3pm each day and I am pretty useless when I get home from work
3. Any appointments this week? none this week, last week I had a growth US and they said baby is measuring big, 94%. Baby's stomach is also measuring 4 weeks ahead. I read this could be due to GD but I do not have GD, unless I have developed it later after my test. My OB is out of town and when I asked the covering OB about it she didn't say much other than to eat low carb. I see my OB next week so just waiting until then.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rant - I hate feeling useless but at this point if I want to have enough energy to go to work every day then I am pretty useless at night. I never call out and every day I just want to call out to sleep. Im sure this is normal but its just a hard few weeks ahead until the end. I feel so bad for hubby who works and then has to run around the house caring for our daughter (3) and diabetic cat plus all the chores while I sit with my feet up and rest. He is getting burnt out but I keep reminding him this is only temporary. I wish I was one of those pregnant ladies who was full of energy and not swollen or cranky, do they exist?? Oh and I thought I was 31 weeks last week
Sorry for my long rant!!
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
The beach! My daughter can sit for hours playing in the sand and it usually gets her to nap because she has burned up so much energy!
Edited: I typed everything in bold the first time lol
31 weeks, a pineapple.
2. How are you feeling?
Overall I feel pretty decent. Now that the shower's over I feel like we've turned a corner and a lot of stress I had leading up to it is gone. Still a lot to do but at least now we know exactly what we need and when to get it.
3. Any appointments this week?
Normal appointment this Friday. Had to see a different OB last time, so looking forward to seeing my doctor again.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
I had to get a rhogam shot last month and I just got a bill in for a couple hundred dollars...I think it's for that shot. The line item says something like "IV therapy". Doesn't make any sense to me, I was never on an IV. Going to call and have them clear this up. So tired at how convoluted and vague medical billing is, just put this stuff in words I understand!
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
Palm Springs, CA. We've been going the last couple years for New Years, but obviously won't be headed there this year. But already planning on how we can get back end of 2019! I can't get enough of the desert!
2. How are you feeling? Still feeling pretty good, though this LO has decided my ribcage is the enemy. Kicks on the inside of the ribs are not super comfy, lol.
3. Any appointments this week? I really dislike taking multiple days to do doctors appointments, especially on my summer break, so today’s schedule of events: Dentist, midwives, dermatologist, GP to confirm pediatric care - whee!
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Rant- I’ll jump on the work complaint train. Had an “optional” meeting yesterday which I did not attend, and found out I’d been “volunteered” in my absence to lead some staff training in 2 weeks when we go back. Boooo.
Rave- We’ve been redoing our floors, ripping out old rental carpet, putting down fake hardwood, for the last 2+ years (stairs are a pain to do by yourself, btw) And now they’re finally almost done. Like, 3 cuts of trim away. Keeping fingers crossed DH finishes it tonight!
Also, my shower is this weekend. I’m both nervous and excited
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
No set family vacation spot - I just like to travel! Hoping the LO is a good traveler, too. Any tips on getting that set up early? If so, I’m all ears
33 weeks- loaf of bread or bunch of celery.
2. How are you feeling?
Back hurts. Mostly I’m feeling a lot of work stress. I had a fairly traumatic day at work yesterday that I’m sure raised my BP and I’ve been having increased difficulty breathing today. I have an appointment tomorrow and I’m trying to take it easier today but I feel very on edge and stressed. Not really sure what I can do about it.
3. Any appointments this week?
Tomorrow I have an appt with my midwife.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
I’m going to spare everyone another rant about how horrible ICE is. But they are soulless evil SOBs.
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
The Adirondaks! Marcy Dam Lean Toos are going to be baby’s first backpacking trip.
2. How are you feeling?
Actually still feeling good. Last week I felt more tired and just big all over, but this week I feel much better. I think all my walking is helping. Maybe I’m also starting to feel the effects of taking iron?
3. Any appointments this week?
Next week at 32 weeks
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Baby shower is this weekend—Jack and Jill BBQ at my parents. I cannot wait! Excited to help my mom do all the cooking and set up on Saturday and see all our friends and families on Sunday!
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
I can’t wait to take LO to Disney when she is old enough to enjoy it.
33 weeks, celery (least exciting size comparison so far!)
2. How are you feeling?
Depending on baby’s position I feel pretty good. Sometimes out of nowhere I feel like she poked my bladder and it’s suoer uncomfortable.
3. Any appointments this week?
None this week.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Nothing right now!
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon and I’d love to go back one day. Not anytime soon with a baby though because the fights were soooo looooong
2. How are you feeling?
The past week has been rough, with all of the smoke from the wildfires making it hard to breathe (because the asthma and the baby squishing my lungs wasn't bad enough). Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good!
3. Any appointments this week?
Saw the midwife on Wednesday - everything is still looking great, and the little guy is already head down
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
I was supposed to take a couple of vacation days around this weekend, and go on a roadtrip with DH and some friends, but with the province pretty much all on fire, I had to bail because of the smoke
5. GTKY - Favorite family vacation spot?
We have a little piece of land on the side of a mountain, and we love going up to it. That, or any random road trip!
