Re: TTGP Grad Check-In w/o 5/2
Baby's bones are ossifying and her brain is starting to regulate her heartbeat.
How far along are you?
17w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week?
Nope. Next up is the anatomy scan. I am so excited and nervous!!
Cravings/Symptoms?
I'm really feeling good these days! Still tired and going to bed early, but really, no complaints!
No big cravings this week.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I am getting so antsy to start buying furniture and setting up the nursery, but at the same time, I am too anxious to actually do it. Maybe after the anatomy scan I'll feel ok getting this bought and set up.
Questions?
Who is feeling the baby move? I am on high alert and noticing anything and everything that happens in my tummy, but still not 100% sure I've felt baby yet. There was one time I was pretty sure it was her I was feeling, but I haven't felt that same feeling again. So who knows!
GTKY: what are your pet peeves?
-People clipping their nails at work
-When neighbors leave their garage door half open - just choose open or closed!!
-people calling on the phone to respond to my emails (sometimes I emailed you intentionally to have your response in writing!)
-when my husband leaves kitchen cabinets open 😬
How far along are you? 16w4d
Anyone have an appointment this week? Nope, but yes on Monday!
Rants/Raves/Randoms? RANT: Everyone who hears that I am having a boy widens their eyes really big and says "THREE boys???!!!" as if I just said a family of poisonous snakes was moving into my house.
Questions?
Also, we must have the same neighbor! My next door neighbor has had his Christmas lights up since December 2017... color me unimpressed. And now they have started to get blown partway off from recent windstorms, and he doesn't seem to notice the string of Christmas lights dangling halfway off the roof. 🙄
What's going on this week? Baby is starting get real bones and fat (I hope it has the chubbiest cheeks in the end)
How far along are you? 17+4
Anyone have an appointment this week? I thought I had one set for yesterday, but thankfully I called ahead and was told that it's NEXT Wednesday (I'm crazy)
Cravings/Symptoms? No real cravings, but as a symptom I've been way more unfocused at work...so annoying because it's not like it lessens my workload
Rants/Raves/Randoms? MH and I have held strong on not letting onto our family/friends that we now know Jelly Bean's sex so I'm proud of us. I think we can actually keep it a secret the whole way through then.
Questions? None really other than, is anyone else freaking out about the upcoming A/S? I feel like because I had abnormal blood work that resulted in needing a CVS, that it must mean that something is wrong that just isn't chromosomal O_O (sorry to be so doom and gloom)
GTKY: what are your pet peeves?
People who can't focus enough to properly retell a story, convey a thought, etc.
People who don't say "thank you"
@galentine Your probably right about that movement. It's very sporadic at first. I'm just starting to feel it (obvs) and it's really not more then once or twice a day.
@junebabyh People need ti just shush. It's none of their business. Of course I'm sure the reaction would be similar if it was 3 girls.
@marbellie I understand your stress about the AS. Bad news is always lurking once you've experienced it once. All we can do it take it day by day and hope that everything works out for the best. Sending you hugs ♥️
What's going on this week? Practicing breathing and swallowing
How far along are you? 14+1
Anyone have an appointment this week? Next week
Cravings/Symptoms? Give me all the food!! I'm sooo hungry all.the.time
Rants/Raves/Randoms? Looks like today is another headache day. Its likely a result of yesterdays shoulder/neck issues. Rave is that I have a massage scheduled for Sat afternoon. Hopeing she can un pinch my nerve and get some relief into my hips.
Questions?
GTKY: what are your pet peeves? Open mouth chewing and doing gross things in the open (I E coworker flossing in his office with HUGE windows. We have a mens room, use that please....).
@junebabyh Bleh, I wish that this baby gave me a craving for cucumber. I need to get more green veggies in my diet.
@marbellie So sorry about the stress... I can't even imagine what you went through, but I do have experience with anxiety so I know what it feels like to have that awful feeling. Is your A/S next Wednesday?
@prpl11butterfly Yay for a massage! I hope you get some relief.
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
So anyway, yes, I am very nervous too. But I can imagine that your abnormal test results would be weighing on your mind. Sending lots of hugs. Hope the next 3 weeks fly by for us! ❤
@prpl11butterfly, OMG to your coworker publicly flossing. I had an old boss who used to do that, I forgot all about it until now! She would also take the SHARED PHONE into the bathroom with her and make work calls while doing her ahem, personal business. Ack!!
@stephanie123456, yay for an unexpected ultrasound and getting to see baby girl! ❤
@galentine you're lucky that YH at least puts it in the dishwasher!! I cannot believe how much mine resists putting dirty dishes in there. If I say no dirty dishes in the sink, well guess what's stacking up NEXT to the sink instead (it's so particular and ridiculous that it's laughable)
@prpl11butterfly yes that makes a lot of sense, it's kind of like I don't expect good news to come from my doctor anymore and the CVS results were a fluke. I kind of go by each day waiting for the rug to be pulled out
@stephanie123456 no next week will be an ordinary monthly appointment, but my A/S is scheduled for the 17th...I'm both looking forward to getting it over with and dreading it /// Also, I pick my nails too...heavily, so I stand with YH lol
