Thursday Ticker Change - 4/9

How many weeks? Size comparison? 29 weeks-pineapple

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected? Feeling pretty good aside from hurting hips, problems sleeping, and feeling large and ungainly.

Appointments/milestones? Passed 3 hr GD test on Friday, regular check in appointment tomorrow.

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? Egg Mc muffin meal from McDonald's normally with a vanilla ice coffee or a grand non-fat solo white peppermint mocha with a blueberry scone from Starbucks. But, coffee still isn't my favorite while pregnant so I usually just get a Chai tea in place of coffee

How many weeks? Size comparison? 30 weeks!! TD says size of a cucumber, which I think is a very odd comparison...

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected? I'm feeling larger everyday! small daily tasks are becoming harder and the bump is getting in the way more often. #3rdtriproblems

Appointments/milestones? I feel like today, 30 weeks, is a milestone! It just sounds so far along! I have a check up with my OB today. My dr is on vacation this week so I am seeing another dr in the practice. I haven't seen anyone but my OB since the beginning, but in a practice of 13 doctors I know that any one of them could potentially deliver my LO. I'm hoping I like her as much as I like my dr

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!) My go-to is an Egg McMuffin from McD's, I'm a simple girl.
FFTC -- I don't like Starbucks, or their coffee. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but when I want coffee, I want just a simple coffee, preferably Colombian blend or something similar with only a splash of skim milk and a little raw sugar. I much prefer Dunkin Donuts or Bigby Coffee. I love all breakfast sandwiches though... give me meat, egg and cheese on a bagel or English muffin in the morning, every morning, and I'll love you forever.

How many weeks? 29 weeks Size comparison? acorn squash

How're we feeling? very pregnant Anything new and unexpected? passed my gd test (surprised) but I am anemic (not surprised)


GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? egg mcmuffin (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!) I don't have a fancy Starbucks order I like just regular coffee

[Deleted]

Weeks/size: 31 weeks - TB says pineapple! That seems pretty big to me.

How are we feeling?: doing okay this week! Travel really took it out of me so I'm wiped today and working from home to rest. Definitely feeling lots of baby kicks which is so fun.

Appointments/milestones: tomorrow for my bi-weekly checkup. Just love hearing my little guy's HB. I feel like now every 2 weeks is a milestone so next week at 32 weeks (8 months - eek! Is the next one)

GTKY: Whataburger breakfast taquitos are a guilty splurge breakfast, or the Starbucks breakfast wraps.

[mrsdee1982]

How many weeks? Size comparison? 32 weeks. Crazy! She's a squash this week.

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected? Feeling very pregnant. Very large. Bumpzilla. I am getting cramps again, but (TMI), they feel like they're inside my vagina. Like my inner bag muscles are cramping up. FTM here, so I don't know if that's BH, or what it is. But it is unexpected.

Appointments/milestones? Met with our Doula on Tuesday night and started practicing different labor positions and breathing techniques. And then she spent an hour showing DH how to massage me in different ways to relieve stress, pressure, pain. I told him a girl could get used to that! Next OB appointment is on the 27th.

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!) I'm not really all about breakfast food like sandwiches or burritos, but I can totally get behind fast food hash browns. Yum! If I need breakfast on the run, I'll usually get my starbucks grande vanilla latte or chia tea and a blueberry scone.

[veggiemo]

How many weeks? Size comparison? 32 weeks, squash

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected? Feeling great! Felt tons of movement the last few days! I'm going to really miss being pregnant.

Appointments/milestones? Basic check up on 4/16

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!) Ok, I'm a vegetarian who doesn't eat eggs, so mine is weird. McDonalds: I get a McMuffin with just cheese. Then I order a hashbrown. Then I insert the hashbrown into the muffin with cheese to make my own sandwich. That's some healthy stuff right there

[laurenlou83]

veggiemo, I take a bite out of my hashbrown and then put the remaining hashbrown on my Egg McMuffin (with the meat, cheese and egg). Having the hasbrown on the sandwich is amazing. Even just with the cheese it sounds tasty!

[mrsdee1982]

veggiemo, That sounds pretty amazing. Like, yes I just finished a huge bowl of oatmeal and I'm not even remotely hungry but I may still need to go to McDonalds and get me one of these amazing. Yum!

How many weeks? Size comparison?
32 Weeks!. Squash.

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected?
I'm feeling not too bad today, I had backache the last few weeks and it's eased slightly today. However, my legs are tired when walking & I'm a tad breathless. Nothing new and unexpected really. Heartburn is still making a show late at nights!

Appointments/milestones?
Midwife appointment tomorrow afternoon.

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!)
probably mcdonalds or KFC. I don't go to Starbucks too often and I usually only order an iced mocha frappachino.

[sayastar]

How many weeks? 30! 3/4 done. WTE says a small cabbage?

How're we feeling? I feel great, but apparently I've started to look huge. DH and I were snuggling on the couch watching tv last night when he cautiously asked "So... how much bigger is it going to get?" I was confused at first until I realized he had been patting my belly. I laughed, since he meant well, and told him that my belly will be as big as it needs to let baby keep growing. Thankfully he made sure to clarify that he was just curious, not trying to call me a whale! But I have no idea either, and I'm way more interested than he is.

Appointments/milestones? Nothing significant.

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? I never have time to eat at home so always grab something after getting off the train on my way to work. Usually just a yogurt parfait and sparkling water from a corner deli, since the lines at Starbucks are always killer. I used to always have a delicious large latte from this little coffee shop by my office--but I know I would drink it too fast and I'm trying to cut down/out caffeine, so I've given that up.

[whoopsadaisy]

How many weeks? Size comparison? 32 weeks! Squash!

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected? Feeling pretty much the same, which is good. Loving watching little kicks on the outside of my belly.

Appointments/milestones? Just a check up on 4/14.

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast? (Include your most pretentious Starbucks order, too!) I don't usually eat a lot of fast food, but if I'm grabbing something at a starbucks-like place while on the go, it's probably a muffin - been really craving blueberry muffins recently. I used to love me a venti black coffee at starbucks, but I've been mostly off caffeine this pregnancy. Did get a vanilla bean frappachino the other day - amazing!

[trixi282]

How many weeks? Size comparison?  30wks finally... only 10 more to go!

How're we feeling? Anything new and unexpected?  Like crap. I'm really sore and achey from being pushed on and poked.  Plus although my cough has gotten better, I still have mucus and I gag when it's stuck in my throat, and then I pee my pants.  It's insane.  I also don't like the increased CM lately that seems to have that nice strong odor.  I don't remember the odor getting stronger until later with my 1st....

Appointments/milestones?  Ive basically been in 'appointments' all week... FINALLY got the shunt placed yesterday, and the cyst in Nuggets chest drained after another long morning of prodding.  Now I have 2 more holes in my belly and my uterus, one more shunt placed in baby (4/6 are definitely floating around in the sac) and another appointment tomorrow to follow up... and back again on Monday....

GTKY: Favorite fast food breakfast?  McDonald's classic Egg McMuffin. 
Most pretentious Starbucks order..... I usually don't get too fancy.  The only thing that comes to mind is a Venti Quad Vanilla Mocha (quad = 4 shots of espresso)

[theBeeMama]

-29 weeks! Summer squash or something like that, I think!

-Feeling good, but I feel like I'm getting super flabby and floppy all over my body (ugh) and my feet are starting to get so sore and swollen with the warmer weather we're having here. So that's no fun!

-I get to see my sweet girl via ultrasound on Monday! Can't wait and praying for a good report on the ole placenta placement.

-Chick-Fil-A chicken minis. Like a billion of them. And regular coffee or a latte. Holy smokes I need it right now.
