Friday Ticker Change - May (OMG) 1st

[ThePalindromicOne]

Figured since I'm up I'd get this started early! TGIF ladies!

What week are you?

Symptoms?

Next appointment?

GTKY: I know these are usually NBR but I decided to switch it up! Share your baby name (if you're willing) or top contenders

[ThePalindromicOne]

What week are you? 35! 4 more weeks of work (soooo mentally checked out)!

Symptoms? CTS (awaiting relief from injections), horrific reflux, slightly puffy feet.

Next appointment? Next Thursday for 36 weeks check up (then weekly!), GBS step, cervical check (might decline it), and an ultrasound to confirm positioning and get an estimate of size

GTKY: I know these are usually NBR but I decided to switch it up! Share your baby name (if you're willing) or top contenders - I think we've landed on Benjamin Stephen B

[wormgerm]

Busting in here not to participate but to say holy shit! Your title just made my stomach flip. Ahhhhhh! MAY!

Sorry for the interruption. Carry on.

[sugarkissed]

What week are you? Week 35!

Symptoms? The usual... exhaustion, heartburn, and annoying sciatica. After several loads of laundry, vacuuming, and a sudden urge to organize the linen closet yesterday it dawned on me that I'm nesting. This never happened last pregnancy, so it's a welcome occurrence even if I feel like I have way too much to do around this house.

Next appointment? Just had one yesterday, so May 13.

GTKY: We haven't 100% decided, although we have a front runner.. I'm just not quite ready to share!

[sully326]

What week are you?: 33

Symptoms?: She definitely dropped over the last two days. BH are insane the past week. I'm in some serious discomfort & pain. I'm thinking she might be a May baby.

Next appointment?: Next Tuesday, 5/5, for an ultrasound to see how baby is doing and tolerating my GD & an estimate of size.

GTKY: I know these are usually NBR but I decided to switch it up! Share your baby name (if you're willing) or top contenders: Caroline was my #1 choice. Its now her middle name and I'm fine with that

Week 33!
Still can't poop. It's so bad. I also feel like it's making me heavier (it would have to right? like, where's the food going to go?) which makes me SUPER paranoid. Hip pain at night. Alternating between a gross "too full to eat" feeling and wanting to eat everything. Can't wear my rings and my shoe selection is dwindling. (Flip flops here I come.)
Next appt. is Tuesday. Just the biweekly check.
Have only told my ILs and my sister IRL, but we are going with Sophie Don.een R.

[lalamomma]

What week are you? 32 weeks!!

Symptoms? Hip pain, back pain, some heartburn (mostly at night) and being up 182738484 times every night.

Next appointment? May 4th

GTKY: I don't think I'm up for sharing our name but when we thought we were having a girl we had picked Cecily Colette. Since we are having a boy we had to start over. His middle name is Robert for sure though, after DH and both of us have grandfathers who are/were named Robert. Otherwise I don't like the name Robert LOL. My grandpa is so tickled about it though.

[sordidvolition]

Week: 32

Symptoms: random pains; this kid has been down in my junk for days. Never had this with my first

Next appt: 5/5 for check in and ultrasound

GTKY: we aren't sharing but it was so hard to pick out a second boy's name after our first and I was so convinced this one was a girl

ETA apparently I'm swollen too. Can't get my rings off!

[disney815]

Weeks: 35- crap this is flying by!

Symptoms: exhaustion, and I finally had to buy a belly band to support my back.

Next appt: one week, and then I'll be weekly! And I get an ultrasound next week, just to ease my fears of any issues that I obsessively read about online that can happen.

GTKY: Zachary James is our baby boy due in 35 days!!

[dogmama22]

Weeks: 34!
Symptoms: so many boob issues! They're leaky and enormous and no bra feels comfortable for more than five minutes. The heartburn continues to rage on as well.
Next appointment: May 11th
GTKY: we haven't finalized middle names yet, but Addison is our girl name (flame away if you are a name board regular) and Zachary is the boy name. We'll probably use our own middle names as LO's middle name, which are Maureen and Michael.

Haha about flames from the name board regulars. I love seeing names and talking about them, but I don't want to share my name over there because I just don't want to hear any opinions other than "I love it" which is mostly what I've gotten IRL. I think some would like it and others will say I'm being trendy.

[ladysif]

What week are you? 33 weeks

Symptoms: Nothing out of the norm. Have my bouts of pregsomnia too, but it is easier for some reason - I think the sleep deprivation was much more of a shock to my system last time. Now I'm just used to it. Sadly.

Next appt: Next Friday. Had one today, all is well. He cooperated for some profile/3D face pics for once and it is just crazy to see him - I expect him to look exactly like DS1 and clearly he doesn't, my brain just can't reconcile it.

GTKY: Not sharing either, sorry. Like sordidvolition I thought it was a girl and we were set there. It took us to 37 weeks to agree on DS1's name and this was really tough, too. I think we have it set this time which is a relief. Those in favor of complementary sibling set names wouldn't approve; this name is super unique (but not youneek) in that it isn't at all common whereas DS1 is top 100. I'm of the opinion that once they're siblings, the names seem to mesh no matter how different or similar.

Week 35! Crazy!
Emotional, swelling like crazy, exhaustion, cant sleep at night.
Next Thursday the 7th. weekly now.
Team green: Vera Anne for a girl, John Alexander for boy but we are starting to not like that. (still trying for Evan James - I have loved it since i was a kid but SO doesn't like it.

You too!

I'm a little late to the game...I wasn't on the boards Thurs or Fri.

What week are you? 32 weeks

Symptoms? Back/sacrum pain, getting more tired in the afternoons.

Next appointment? May 13th for my biweekly check-up

GTKY: I know these are usually NBR but I decided to switch it up! Share your baby name (if you're willing) or top contenders. We decided really early on for the name, which was a huge surprise. We're going with Noah Paul. Noah is a popular name now, but DH and I both love it, and Paul was DH's grandfather's name.
