Sunday ticker change 8/16

[awkwardturtle]

hi I'm going to start going here off of baby's measurements at the ultrasound


How many weeks and how big is baby? 10 weeks! Prune or date, 1.5 in.



Symptoms? I had my first crying bit yesterday, and I did it big. I was literally hyperventilating I was crying so hard and couldn't breath. Still pretty tired as well.



Cravings/aversions? I wanted some ice cream the other night but I think it was more because my throat was sore. I am going to try not to make that a habit.



Next appointment? What for? Sept. 4- will have NT scan and blood draw for sequential screening, then will go up and meet with my doctor who is supposed to use the Doppler to find the heartbeat, no ultrasound there. They also don't let anyone into the NT scan, maybe that's normal?



GTKY: Baby names! Which camp are you in? Decided pre-BFP, long list, short list, almost got it, waiting to meet baby, no idea? We threw names around pre and post BFP. I think we have it narrowed down to our front runners for each sex, but we'll see. Could still change.

How many weeks and how big is baby?  11 weeks - about 1.5 inches (I've seen a fig or a lime as a comparison)

Symptoms?  I'm still nauseated off and on, and I often have no appetite. So tired and constipated.

Cravings/aversions?  Chicken and eggs are disgusting, red meat and bacon are good. I've been eating HUGE salads with tons of stuff in it

Next appointment? What for? I have an appointment this Wed (also my birthday) for my NT ultrasound. I'm hoping to get a guess at the baby's sex. Both guesses we got at the NT scan with #1 and #2 were right, but this is the earliest we've had the NT scan so I don't know how that part will go.

GTKY: Baby names! Which camp are you in? Decided pre-BFP, long list, short list, almost got it, waiting to meet baby, no idea?  I'm in camp "No F-ing Clue." We have a really hard time picking names. For both kids, we used the only name we liked. Not "the only name we could agree on, but there were other possibilities" - like, we didn't like ANY other names. We haven't talked about names or cracked open a name book so far. We'll probably wait until after we know the sex of the baby so we don't waste a ton of time.

How many weeks and how big is baby?

8 weeks, raspberry

Symptoms?

Spotting yesterday that really freaked me out but nothing today.

Cravings/aversions?

I've been liking the same things I have always liked and hating the same things I've always hated, just a little bit more strongly.

Next appointment? What for?

Tomorrow! It will be my third viability ultrasound so far and I'm really, really hoping for some good strong news but I'd like to finally know one way or the other. The waiting is killing me.

We were decided pre-BFP but post BFP we've been reconsidering our options. We still have the same front runners but now we have more of a short list.

How many weeks and how big is baby?
9 weeks/grape

Symptoms?
Occasional nausea, waking in the middle of the night (usually to pee), weird dreams

Cravings/aversions?
I cannot stand meat! I'm hoping this gets better in the next couple of weeks like it did with my first pregnancy. I miss being able to enjoy a good steak. I'm also not liking veggies much...
I have been craving cookies and cake (which normally I'm not a fan of) and BBQ potato chips.

Next appointment? What for?
Not until mid-September. It's just a routine 4 week checkup. They might try using the doppler at that point.

GTKY: Baby names! Which camp are you in? Decided pre-BFP, long list, short list, almost got it, waiting to meet baby, no idea?
We have a girls name picked out. Boys names are WAY harder. I've been working my way through a name book and writing down names I like. Then DH will either do the same thing or just go through my list and cross off ones he doesn't like. At some point we'll start making pairings to figure out possible first name/middle name combinations. Since we're team green, we need one of each picked out.

This is quite the Debbie Downer post, hahhaa. Sorry in advance.

How many weeks and how big is baby? 8 weeks today! Baby is a large raspberry.

Symptoms?
I don't want any of the food. None of it. I also feel super shaky and dizzy, which could be because I don't want any food, but I feel like its unrelated. DH just said to me "I remember when you weren't boring... What do all of the other girls on your message board do right now? Lay on the couch too?" Leave me alone H.

Cravings/aversions? None of the cravings, all of the aversions. Except I could really go for a beer right now.

Next appointment? What for? Appointment on Tuesday for the initial bloodwork/paperwork. I haven't actually puked yet but I literally can't eat anything. Is there medicine for this? I might ask. ha.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow! What time is your appointment?  Fx for great news!

Thanks xxkimmy8xx I need all the positive thoughts I can get! It's at 3:30 so just two more hours to wait. Also sorry you've been feeling crappy.

[awkwardturtle]

Thinking of you daystardreams hoping all is well.

How many weeks and how big is baby? 9 weeks as of Sunday - blueberry/cherry/green olive depending on source

Symptoms? So much nausea. I'll feel better and then it comes back and I just want to curl up in the fetal position. Hoping it subsides sooner rather than later.

Cravings/aversions? Carbs are good. Vegetables are bad.

Next appointment? What for? 3 weeks for regular check up, doppler, and hopefully get my blood drawn for the InformaSeq cell free DNA test

GTKY: Baby names! Which camp are you in? Decided pre-BFP, long list, short list, almost got it, waiting to meet baby, no idea? I'll probably start making lists soon but we don't officially decide until after we meet baby even though we do find out the sex. I love driving the family crazy. I really don't want to hear their opinions or suggestions that we should name him/her after you.
