Thursday Ticker Change - 4/23

[laurenlou83]

Weeks/Size? 32 weeks! As big as a squash according to TD app

How're those babies treating your body these days? For the most part pretty well!! My right lower back and sciatica is still bothering me, but I'm dealing with it. I just keep stretching and keep my chiro appointments and that is definitely helping.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? I have a growth U/S tomorrow and I can't wait!! Having GD absolutely sucks, but I am enjoying getting to see him every 4 weeks now! I'm really curious as to how he is measuring. At my check up with my OB yesterday my fundal height was still just barely at 31, so she thinks he is measuring on the small side of normal. DH was 9lb3oz and 22in so I'm really okay that this little guy may be measuring small!
We had our shower this past weekend which was beautiful! This weekend we are going to see DH's family and instead of a shower we are doing a mani/pedi/brunch girl's day with about 10 of us and I can't wait!

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? I think the best answer to this question is anything and everything! My DH loves to sing random songs, make up songs, and be downright goofy. I can only imagine what he will come up with! I can also see us singing old classics to him instead of typical lullabies, too.

Hello, Thursdays!

- 31 weeks... I'll go with @kej0004 and say pineapple.

- Back pain is probably the worst symptom, everything else is pretty manageable/inconsistent. I will say that recently I have completely lost my appetite. I feel so bad for DH and DS cause I rarely cook and when I do it's the same thing. But nothing sounds good to me and I feel full all the time. Yesterday I actually caught myself contemplating if there were some supplements I could start taking every day so that I don't have to eat actual food. Then I realized how freaking crazy that is, especially coming from me because I LOVE food (usually).

- Nothing too exciting coming up here! Just hanging in there:)

- I'm a worship leader and when DS was tiny I would sing a particular worship song over him and he loved it. Got him to sleep/stop crying every time. I'm sure I'll try the same with this baby.

Weeks/Size? 31 weeks. A pineapple!!

How're those babies treating your body these days? Aside from randomly be in transverse it's been an okay week. His feet keep ending up in my diaphragm while I'm sleeping so that isn't fun.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? Just had a regular check and was given permission to go back on nasal spray for allergies. I GET TO BREATHE AGAIN!!! 32 week sonogram on Monday. Excited to see my little man after so long.

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? I love this question. I'm a music teacher and was in choirs starting at age 6 so I actually made a list and may do some recording with a colleague of my favorite lullabies.
there's a gorgeous lullaby that I only know as Irish Lullabye. Billy Joel's Lullabye, Baby Mine from Dumbo, Zelda's lullabye, a lullaby my sister wrote for my oldest nephew, Little Lamb. Just so many songs I want to share with him. I'm sure it'll really just turn into mindless humming anyhow.

Weeks/Size?
 32 Weeks, whew.  2 weeks closer to my short term goal of 34!  Baby's growth US friday estimated Nugget at 3lb 9oz. 
(Sonographer said a 2liter bottle of soda is about 4lb, so baby is a little smaller than that)


How're those babies treating your body these days?
 Okay...  Baby's been moving around a lot which is good, and I dont have too many horrible symptoms right now besides occasional back pain.  Hospital beds can be nice at times (being able to move it up/down to adjust) but also very uncomfortable!


Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up?
 Nothing too exciting about Hospital bed rest... But I do get an US every M/W/F to check on baby's mass, and my fluid levels, so that's nice to keep a close eye on things.


GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby?  With my 1st I made up my own little lullaby so I'll probably sing that to this LO too.  As for other songs, I sing whatever I think of which with my first was a lot of the songs I sang with my Chorus.  I never really sang any of the 'traditional' lullabies.  My H sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at bedtime, and J loves it, it's kind of silly.

Weeks/Size? 34 weeks! Butternut squash. Those are big o_0

How're those babies treating your body these days? Pretty well. She's moving a ton. I have a yucky sinus infection right now, so that's no fun. Oh, and I am getting up about every 20 minutes to pee at night. So between baby, peeing and sinus issues, I am getting NO sleep.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? Check up with OB on Monday!

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? Probably Blackbird, Yesterday and Somewhere over the Rainbow.

It's the best day of the week! Ticker change day!

Weeks/Size? 33 weeks today.. a durian, whatever that is!

How're those babies treating your body these days? Baby is kicking a lot, still favoring my right side (love when I can see his little booty poking out to the side), heartburn is still in full effect but I've been doing a little better with sleep. All in all, just feeling rather large these days.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? Regular check up tomorrow. 34 weeks feels like my next milestome so next week! I can't believe I'm only 3 weeks from 36 weeks.. it's getting so real!

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? I love this question too! I also have a DH who loves music and to make up his own songs so I imagine there will be some entertaining ones. They are typically about the dog, me, and how great DH thinks his own songs are. Ha! Love that man.

[veggiemo]

Weeks/Size? 34 weeks. Shit, is that right??

How're those babies treating your body these days? Still feeling great, honestly no complaints.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? Just regular check up next week-I'll have to get swabbed for strep B.

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? With DS I sang "When I was your man" by Bruno Mars. I'll probably sing whatever slow ballad is popular on the radio at the time.

Weeks/Size? 34 weeks - Butternut Squash.

How're those babies treating your body these days? Pretty good. I feel like my heartburn is pretty much constant and I'm having a lot of pressure on my pelvis/bladder when I'm walking. Makes just sitting that much more tempting.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up? Regular check-in next week and a level 2 ultrasound to monitor baby's enlarged renal pelvis (pylectasis) - FX it's all resolved. Non-medically, our baby shower is Saturday! So excited to see friends and celebrate this LO!

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby? When I was babysitting during college, I always sang, "Castle on a cloud," when the baby was fussy. A bit of a sad song in context of the play, but great lines for baby like, "crying at all is not allowed, not in my castle on a cloud."

Weeks/Size? 34 weeks! Butternut Squash!

How're those babies treating your body these days?
Urgh, I'm sore and tired and I got my first stretch marks under my bump last week! Booo!!! I feel awful about them! Trying to put on cream and oils but I don't know if they are getting worse or better! I have a fader + prevention cream.

Any milestones/appointments/anything exciting coming up?
I have my 34w appointment tomorrow at 2:30! I'm hoping the sugar that showed up in my urine last time is gone! Then I'll have another appointment two weeks later! Nothing exciting happening SO's friend is coming over Saturday, he doesn't know we are expecting so I'm not looking forward to the attention or questions, I could do without it to be honest, they're all immature and once they know they'll text SO costantly, like every minuet of everyday.

GTKY: What non-traditional lullabies will you be singing to baby?
I haven't thought about this to be honest. I don't sing a lot due to being deaf & wearing hearing aids.
