Re: Weekly Check-in 7/4
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a coconut
Upcoming appointments: end of the month
How are you feeling?: pretty good actually! Heartburn is my main annoying symptom but I’m finding good ways of handling it
Rants/Raves: none really at the moment actually, life is good. Just chilling
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? Voice acting. I’m really good at doing a bunch of different voices and even won at the state championship for it when I was in school
Due: 6 Nov 2021
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: coconut here too
Upcoming appointments: in a couple weeks, with the GD screening
How are you feeling?: okay! I had food poisoning this week (do not recommend) but recovered from that. Just get tired more easily and dehydrated easily
Rants/Raves: I've been much less tired and helping more with kid and house and I can tell my husband is grateful for it, though he's been supportive and never complained. I'm glad I can be a better partner for for minute
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? Forensic anthropologist. I studied it for a while but got my interested in applying my anthropology degree to engineering for natural disasters (and I'm good at that too) but I feel like I would have excelled at the minute details of the past.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: popsicle
Upcoming appointments: Tuesday!
How are you feeling?: grumpy and hungry
Rants/Raves: i can’t even talk about it lol
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? Real estate agent. I know how to listen to people when they say what they want, and apparently that’s hard to do.
@doodleoodle oof hope everything is okay
Due: 6 Nov 2021
@Marz1pan Food poisoning is awful even when not pregnant. Glad you're on the other side of that! Oof!
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 21+6
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a sub (sandwich), lol
Upcoming appointments: Routine prenatal towards the end of July.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, dealing with the nighttime hip aches as best as I can, and already annoyed at my belly becoming a beacon of unwanted attention from everyone.
Rants/Raves: My kid got pretty sick all of a sudden before this weekend (I don't know why but he always seems to get sick right before a weekend when our doctor's office is closed). He's still very congested and crankier than usual but I'm so glad he seems to have gotten through the worst of it!
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? Nutritionist. I mean, I'd need formal schooling to break into something like that, but especially after my first was born, I've become super interested in the topic of nutrition and how gut health has such a huge impact on the rest of our health, and I think (with the necessary training), I could be quite good at it.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: A palmier cookie, a small and tasty puff pastry cookie!
Upcoming appointments: 8th July, scan and OB
How are you feeling?: Pretty OK, quite tired, been sleeping a lot, but it's felt good.
Rants/Raves: Felt some lil' kicks, which was rather nice! I guess this is called "The quickening", which to me sounds like an M Night Shyamalan movie!
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? I hope the one I am doing
Other than that, I think I'd be a pretty good magazine editor/journalist. I love to meet people and I write stories in my job. I also love reviewing products. I did a stint as an intern at a food magazine and loved it!
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a hedgehog
Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow is my AS!! It was suppose to be this morning and they had to call to reschedule because they were down a sonographer
How are you feeling?: This weekend was rough. We had a lot of family in and my feet were killing me the whole time. They even got a little swollen last night which I didn't think was suppose to happen until much later.
Rants/Raves: So I had my quad screen on thursday and the nurse calls me and leaves a VM at 4:30 to tell me to call back before 5 for the results or I will have to wait until tuesday. I call her back immediately and they are already sending to the answering service. So of course I'm nervous all weekend, why wouldn't they just tell me they were normal if they were, I signed a form saying they could. Anyway I finally got the results on the patient portal and all normal!
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at?
Also hopefully the one I'm doing. I never really wanted to be anything other than a doctor. I was a weight loss consultant in college and I really liked it, so I think nutrition and weight loss consulting I would enjoy and be good at. I feel like I am good at motivating people.
Due: 6 Nov 2021
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: coconut
Upcoming appointments: phone appointment at end of July
How are you feeling?: Good but my back hurts pretty often
Rants/Raves: none
Questions: none
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? I was good at being a linguist but I didn't enjoy it much. I would also good at a job that uses writing skills.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: idk. This baby seems to like Persian food and sushi. 😋
Upcoming appointments: July 22nd. Bp check and an ultrasound
How are you feeling?: morning sickness is back in full force. Nausea 24/7. I wonder if I’m starting the pregnancy all over 🤷🏼♀️
Rants/Raves: we are removing the wallpapers and painting we gave the job to a bunch of phonies I’m just waiting for them to finish it and get the hell out of here.
Questions:mamas with c-section- I started feeling lighting crotch, except it doesn’t go all the way to the crotch 🤔 do yo guys feel a disconnect in lightning crotch above and below the suture? I dont seem to feel the lightning go all the way down
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? I enjoy the one I am at, and wouldn’t swap my career for anything else. But I recently discovered that I’m good at enabling cross cultural communication. Working with expats, I have genuine interest in people’s culture. This helps me in addressing slackers in a way specific to their nature that they do get motivated to do their job. I’m really not looking forward to doing that for a living.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: coconut
Upcoming appointments: Thursday anatomy scan
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Random bursts of nausea from heartburn, and occasional insomnia but otherwise pretty good.
Rants/Raves: I feel like pregnancy brain is still in full swing. I am so bad at filling out these weekly updates lol my brain swears I already did and then I scroll through and nope definitely didn’t 😂
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? Other than my current art job, I think I’d be a good therapist, if I was to go back to school it would be for that.
@sthlm_21 I haven’t had a c-section before but I did have a tummy tuck like 12 years ago and I still have patches of numbness especially around the scar, so it makes sense that the lightning crotch would be disconnected.
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a banana
Upcoming appointments: no but I’m supposed to have my anatomy scan this week. They have not called me back which is annoying
How are you feeling?: tired. I can’t seem to get comfortable at night
Rants/Raves: not really. Life as normal
Questions: nope
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? I’ve looked into becoming a lactation consultant. I’ve also looked into being a speech therapist. Maybe one day...
Estimated Due Date/Weeks + Days: 23 weeks
Interesting Baby Fact/Baby is the size of: a grapefruit (how was it a coconut last week and a grapefruit this week? These size comparisons are getting iffy lol)
Upcoming appointments: I had my monthly appointment two days ago
How are you feeling?: my back really hurts. My dr suggested PT to help, but the place she referred me to hasn't called me back
Rants/Raves: I'm already feeling really big, how am I going to make it through another 16 weeks?
Questions:
GTKY: What job do you think you’d be really good at? I think I'm good at the job I have - I'm a college professor. I love research and I really like teaching college kids. It's hard to imagine doing anything else
