Another week has passed! Hooray! Welcome to Monday ticker change! If your ticker ticks over to a new week today, jump on in!

I'm beginning to look for someone willing to take over this check-in as my c is scheduled 2 weeks from tomorrow.

darksidefootprint -- Thanks for the check-in. Wow only 2 more weeks!! How are you feeling?
I wouldn't mind taking over Monday Ticker Change is no one else wants to do it. I am new and don't want to step on any toes.

Weeks/Due Date/Fruit? 5weeks | October 5th, 2015 | Apple seed
Appointments passed or upcoming? Went to the ER on Friday because I was feeling pressure on my left side for about 2 weeks. I was scared I was experiencing an ectopic but after 8hrs in the ER, baby is in my uterus and doing well. Betas came in at 6188 at 18DPO. Next appt. is on 2/12
How are you feeling? Nausea is settling in so not too sexy
How is your anxiety? Still pretty high up. I cant wait for next appt. to see if we are growing.
Any food cravings or aversions? Aversions to almost everything


QofW: if you didn't have real world constraints, how many children would you have?
If I had someone there to help raise the chitlins, then I would be along the lines of the Duggar family.

I'm so glad that you were able to find out that baby is in the right spot! I was really nervous about having an ectopic this pregnancy, too. My betas were like 177 on 17 dpo. The first trimester is really, really hard. For me, it got so much easier once I could feel my baby moving around. I could see have an Duggar size family if I was going to open a sweatshop with all those children, but my uterus hurts thinking about carrying that many!

Oh, and if you are up to taking over, kittymeowbark that would be awesome. Next week?

Weeks/Due Date/Fruit?
18 weeks/Due 7-6-15/Sweet Potato

Appointments passed or upcoming?
16 week appt. was a few weeks ago - baby had good strong hb of 150. 20 week appt. is Feb 19 and we're doing our anatomy scan that day and *hopefully* finding out the sex!

How are you feeling?
Feeling good - having some RLP still. Also having a pain - well more of a discomfort - in my lower abdomen. Anyone have anything similar to this? It's like a really really weak ache. Just kind of this annoyance really. I think it might just be everything down there stretching. No blood so that's the good part!

How is your anxiety?
Anxiety is okay - still check the TP everytime I go to the bathroom. I'm having a really hard time bonding to this baby. I won't allow myself to think of weeks to come. Part of it is because I don't feel super pregnant. I haven't felt much movement. I think I'm just still holding on to see if something goes wrong. Hopefully after the AS I will feel better.

Any food cravings or aversions?
Nope - apetite is back!

QofW: if you didn't have real world constraints, how many children would you have?
At least 4

I still check the tp, too. I think it is just a reflex. I don't know that I felt so bonded to my baby at 18 weeks. After all we have been through, it is like we think we can protect our hearts by not allowing ourselves to feel attached. Rationally we know we would be devastated if anything happened, but we still deny ourselves the joy of attachment in the hopes of saving heartache. At some point, I said "Fuck it - I'm going to be attached." and maybe for a little bit I was faking it, but all of a sudden, I wasn't. I am attached. Idk i'm rambling, sorry

Weeks/Due Date/Fruit? 14 weeks - lemon
Appointments passed or upcoming? Tomorrow!! It's been a long 4 week wait so I'm looking forward to hearing the HB again.
How are you feeling? Still have first tri headaches and exhaustion. Some RLP and stretching too
How is your anxiety? Just a little nervous since it's been 4 weeks since I heard HB but I also have the gut feeling that baby is ok.
Any food cravings or aversions? Lots of food aversions still
QofW: if you didn't have real world constraints, how many children would you have? I'd still stick with 2.

Thanks for taking over the check-in kittymeowbark. Good luck in your final 2 weeks darksidefootprint! And creechmommy - I don't feel attached to this baby yet either. I think once I know the sex, it'll help.

How did your appointment go? It took me a few weeks past first trimester until I felt more human.

darksidefootprint I got an u/s because of the very light (brown) spotting I've had...my doc wanted to be cautious. Baby is fine (156 bpm!) but my placenta is low & close to the cervix. Doc put me on 2 weeks of pelvic rest (which means no horseback riding too) until my next u/s to check on the placenta. DH is not happy but oh well. The u/s tech made her prediction on the sex of the baby (girl!) but said not to paint the room yet - lol. I'll be 16w2d at my next appt so hopefully we can find out for sure if it's a girl then.
