**Daily ticker change threads are for those who change to a new week in pregnancy, (ie: 4w0d, 5w0d, etc). We’ll make a new ticker change thread every day of the week**
Estimated due date (EDD):

Questions:

Re: Saturday Ticker Change 7/8
Week of pregnancy: 6+0
Upcoming Appointments: First appt is February 24th
Rant/Rave: rant - been having some nagging, mild cramping in the same spot for the last 24 hours or so and now my brain is in overdrive
Questions: nada
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? We’re team green! Found out the sex of our other kids the moment we could, so we decided to wait this time.
Week of pregnancy: 4 weeks, 0 days
Upcoming Appointments: none yet, trying to arrange insurance first
Rant/Rave: umm...let’s see.
Questions: What’s the best way to control weight during pregnancy? Last time I “listened to my body” and that didn’t work so well. I’m expecting to gain the recommended amount of weight for sure, but just don’t want to go overboard like last time. Chocolate is my weakness.
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? Definitely finding out the sex. I’m a big planner and am impatient so I couldn’t do team green. At least not with baby #2. Maybe #3 or #4 if we end up having more. I admire the patience of you team green ladies!!
eta: I’m lurking on this thread bc I don’t understand the ticker change thing. I don’t think we did it on my last BMB, but I have seen it mentioned before.
I think anyone is allowed to respond to the posts in here, but the main posts are from people who graduate to the next week on that particular day. Like my ticker change is Saturday’s because, for example, yesterday I was 3 weeks, 6 days and today I’m 4 weeks, 0 days.
Week of pregnancy: 5
Upcoming Appointments: Second blood draw Monday (first was this past Monday), first appointment 2/20
Rant/Rave: it's sunny today! Cold, but sunny. And today at toddler and me swim lessons DD had to be dunked for the first time and she did so well! She didn't love it, but let me do it quite a few times before refusing. Rant would be damn I'm tired but I'll take any pregnancy symptoms just to help ease my anxiety.
Questions: Not now.
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? We will find out. I want another girl because I never really had a sister (I do have a stepsister but she's 10 years older and we have never been close) and I'd love a sisterly bond. (I know that's not always the case with sisters and this is based in gender stereotypes a bit.) Also we have had a girl name picked for like a year, and never even figured out top contenders for a boy last time before finding out DD was a girl. I think it'll take a looong time to figure that out...

Rant/Rave:
Rant- With my firat pregnancy I was an anxious wreck. I want to be able to enjoy being pregnant but am afraid that it will blind me about potential problems. Essentially I am worried about not being worried.
Rave- DH likes to put his hand on my belly and "talk" to the baby. He came around quick to having two.
Questions: Mom's of 2+ how was the transition from one to two kiddos?
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? Currently team green but I'm too curious haha.
Week of pregnancy: 6 weeks
Upcoming Appointments: 2/20 for an ultrasound and nurse visit
Rant/Rave: Rave-DH came home from work and let me sleep till 10am! He’s amazing
Rant-My mother put my 6 month old to bed with a blanket last night! I don’t know how many times I’ve told her not to do this! Why can’t people understand that we now know better, so we should do better?!
Questions: None
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? We will absolutely find out! I’m an old mom by OB standards (36), so we’ll do genetic testing and will find out the sex then. I. Can’t. Wait.
Yeah, during open enrollment I looked at all the plans and they were about the same: $600+ per month with super high deductibles and super high out of pocket max’s. We weren’t 100% on when we were planning baby 2 so I opted not to sign up at the time...
Week of pregnancy: 6
Upcoming Appointments: First appt is February 12 - ultrasound bc of frozen embryo transfer
Rant/Rave: rant - on progesterone due to fertility treatments. It’s like feeling crappy on top of crappy with nausea! Can’t wait to be progesterone free
Questions: none right now
GTKY: will you be finding out the sex of the baby? Or are you team green? We are going to find out. My last delivery was pretty traumatic and my daughter needed up the nicu. Felt like we had to skip the joy for awhile and just focus on things like baby breathing etc. I want to be able to have that time before delivery to enjoy it being girl or boy in case this delivery is the same.
