Ticker Change week of Jan 29th

[teachermomtobe]

How far along are you? 21 weeks

What's new with baby (size, development)? They keep saying baby continues to produce meconium. Glad that's an important weekly reminder.

Boy/girl/not finding out/haven't found out yet? girl

Any upcoming appointments this week? nope, just hanging out until 2/16 for next OB appt

Any new symptoms or changes? I felt a few real kicks this week. DH was able to feel her kick last night for the first time. It's crazy how she will do a few and I can tell if she is going to stop or keep going.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling good except for a mild sore throat/cold and the heartburn is blah after lunch

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? still picking out a freaking paint color but we got fabric swatches today for the bedding we like so hopefully that will help finalize the decision!

GTKY: what is one activity that you used to do, don't anymore, but wish you could pick up again? Does drinking count? LOL. But seriously more intense gym workouts. I was never crazy but I did 30 mins elliptical and weights. Now I stick to walking and I could probably start light weights again. My PAIF is just being extra cautious though.

teachermomtobe, I miss wine so much. And beer! I can't wait for my 1st glass of wine post baby. Maybe I can get someone to sneak it into the hospital for me!

Any new symptoms or changes? I hurt the eff out of my back trying to wear my toddler because she was crying and wanted uppy. She was so upset I figured I would try it. It was not a good idea.

What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby? Still working on big girl room. Shopping for video monitor too.
GTKY: what is one activity that you used to do, don't anymore, but wish you could pick up again? My bff and I would go to concerts ALL. THE. TIME. We would go out on work nights to shows, mosh pit, get home late, and drag our asses in to work the next day. We did this right up until we both had kids. Now we probably go once a year and take time off the next day.
