Are TOMS pretty true to size?

Not really because you actually want them to to be a snug when you buy them because they will relax with in the first few wears and can become too big. It's usually suggested to size down by at least a half size. I would suggest finding a store that carries them and trying them on...the first pair that I bought I got in my real size and had to return them for a half size smaller.

My butt is far larger than my boobs, so mine would be a dead giveaway

today I feel like a frumpy sausage... also, I am make shifting a foot rest with my trashcan under my desk and my winter coat as a lumbar pillow because my back is KILLING me... is it 4pm yet? please, wake me when this pregnancy is over.

Ugh, sorry.  This is me too.  I use my computer tower as a foot rest and I have a pillow.  By 3PM each day I want to lose my shit.  I woke up today with monster back pain so this work day is going to be a real treat.

Total freak out moment!! My doctor office just scheduled my next dr appt and it's in the same month that I'm having my LO! How is this possible already?!? My next appt is March 5 and my RCS is march 28!

I bought DD some toms last year and they were kind of big. I would just buy the size they're in right now because they will most likely last a while.

Ali Landry in the coco butter commercial "3 pregnancies and flawless skin due to palmers coco butter" ummmm noooo 3 pregnancies and flawless skin cause of your genetics. Who buys into this shit? :-??

EVERYONE.

ETA: I should say everyone that doesn't know any better - like the ones that still believe you can tell what the sex of the baby will be by the way a ring swings or spins while dangling from a chain.

The only person I shower and shave for is my OB. Poor DH. Off to take my hour shower!

A mutual friend of a bunch of old friends has gone over the deep end. He was shot during a home invasion/burglary a year ago and now he has these conspiracy theories about people (Catholics, gays and Mexicans mostly?) poisoning his water supply and targeting him for abduction in order to do bizarre mind control technology testing. I blocked him from my FB feed and knocked him into a lower security level on my friends list months ago and unfriended him over the weekend when he started making hate speech comments on random posts I made. Friends are now telling me that he's been making death threats on his page for some time now about random people - I had no idea he'd gotten this bad. Apparently he's also been PMing one of our friends asking if she's still lactating because he says government operatives put mind control agents in cow's milk and he needs a 'clean supply'.

Ugh. Now we're all talking about how to go about informing the authorities without spooking him.

This is nuts.

WOW. Um, paranoid schizophrenia much? Was he by any chance shot in the head? Jesus Crimeny.

@KendraColeslaw Maybe the closet and en-suite make up for the actual bedroom square footage? (Assuming they have both.)

That's the only reason I'm probably not going to switch - dual vanities and a big-ass closet!

Well hell, just put the baby in the closet. Problem solved.

That's AWESOME! What a hreat friend you have.

Good morning! AW, tomorrow is my last day of work! I dont get paid maternity leave (I dont know what job that one boss had where she said she got 6 mos of paid mat leave in CA, but I want it) so I will spend my last 6 weeks nesting and napping. I can't tell you how excited I am to day nap. And I will be able to bump more with some of my favorite ladies.

Did anyone see Jimmy Fallon last night with Kristen Wigg?  This totally made my morning a little bit brighter...

Feeling exhausted and defeated. I planned on working for another month, taking half days in March as needed using my PTO. But here I am, completely drained and wanting to take a half day today. I'm super stressed out, because this feels like the beginning of the end and DH still does not have a full time job.
Trying to stay calm, but this situation is not ideal for a control freak...

deidremaria

I had to skip posts because I was too far behind. I'm sorry.

Themaritimemama

@KatieGummow SO excited for you! You deserve lots of rest, growing those two boys.

@pineconey I'm at the same place as you. I DID take today off, and am actually lacking energy to do ANYTHING. (Hugs) hope your DH finds something soon. Are you able to cut down your hrs?

I have a pinning problem. And thank god for secret boards on Pinterest. Too bad I can pick who can see my boards vs who cant..

I am right there with you. Pinterest is my addiction.

I figure is she has to see me in all my glory I should at least look nice for her! She's the only action I get these days!

mrscrcalli

I feel so exposed giving you my nakie belly in HDBD.. I wish I could be literally naked all day. Clothes are just no fun at 32 weeks. Bleh!

Mamamonzo

I'm totally going to be that person right now with a Does anyone else..

As I get farther along I feel like certain parts of my body grow weaker. Not the normal parts like feet and back. I can no long twist a towel on top of my head because it's too heavy and hurts my neck, I've also noticed holding my phone or my nook in certain positions hurts my arms and wrists. Is this normal or something to bring to the doctors attention?

My motivation to work today is at an all time low....

ETA: I left a word out!

KendraColeslaw said:

AW, but FINALLY! A stranger finally asked me when I was due today! Practically the moment I got pregnant, I couldn't wait for strangers to ask me about it or comment on my belly. I know this is a huge UO, but I love that people love pregnant women!

People ask me all the time ad it's always followed up with "oh!? Well some time left then" and I imediately want to TP them, and cry.

mrscrcalli

Sooooo..
Pico de gallo means beak of the cock...what the deuce?! :-?

Best start to my day ever. I'm just chilling in the after massage relaxation room at the spa drinking water and bumping with a hot towel thing around my neck. Lovely.

My boss may not be paying me for maternity leave, but buying me this massage and lovely morning was a good consolation gift!!

thomas930

@mamamonzo Not sure if it's normal or not, I haven't experienced that but I could see how some areas of our bodies could weaken just due to muscles relaxing all over...the hormone relaxin is being released through out our body and that could be causing it.

I'm going to gripe for a minute.

I really hate the car buying process. We have been waiting since monday to find out about financing....why are we still waiting? because the loan office is dragging their feet on processing the loan for approval. I need to know (like now) if we are getting approved because if not I need to move on the the next thing. We don't really have the luxury of waiting around for forever...we need a van asap! 

pineconey

@mamamadi
Yeah but once I'm out of paid time off, that's it. Trying to conserve it...

J&NL

Someone send me some motivation to clean the house. It's a total mess from coming back from our trip. How does a house get messy when you're gone, you ask? Beats me!!

Just sent DH a picture of my butt cleavage with the caption "butt or boobs????" I am a 12 year old boy.

Well now we all have to know... Did he guess correctly?

"Stop checking out your ass and start studying for your physics exam tonight" Lol.

Gold star to Mr Jelly for guessing correctly

@kendracoleslaw: men! Ugh. But thanks for the link!


Saw this on fb. Definitely didnt work for us....

@poru I wouldn't worry. We keep hearing the name we picked out all over the place and it just makes us laugh at this point. We like the name to much to change now.

Guys, it's really hot today.  And I don't have any maternity shorts.  Whine Whine Whine.

KendraColeslaw said:

All right, damn it. I'm about to lose my mind.

WHERE have these jeans been my entire pregnancy?? I swore I looked everywhere for maternity jeans that wouldn't make me feel frumpy or uncomfortable! I'm constantly clutching at nothing to pull up my saggy jeans that have no belt loops or grip on my waist.
I'm just....

OMG!  I NEED THOSE!

That's crazy! When I found the car I wanted, I told them I needed to get things wrapped up fast so I could get back to work and they had me approved, signed, and out the door in less than two hours! I'd never have waited DAYS.

@kendracoleslaw I just went on amazon and ordered some side panel jeans from motherhood maternity.  I am not going another six weeks without!

I wanted the shorts too, but the only ones I could find were $150
