I NEED a chocolate chip bagel. Why is this not a standard flavor of bagel at the grocery store? I've been to 3 different stores since yesterday and they aren't even in the single bagel bins in the bakery. WTF?!?!

DH spent 15 minutes playing with my belly before bed last night. It was the sweetest thing ever.
'm

I wish mine would. He's totally not into feeling kicks and movement, let alone talking to/playing with my tummy. Wasn't with our first baby either.

My husband isn't into my belly either! I am glad I am not the only one. He is super into the boys just not touching my belly unless I tell him they are moving a ton. Then it's like 10 seconds and done.

I am jeal of you, Pine!!

I've been so bad at doing kegels this pregnancy.

KatieGummow · February 2014

Not sure if I should make myself french toast or chocolate chip pancakes.... ugh.

@TallaB I swear, if you don't go to Potbelly for lunch instead of JJ's, we can't be LBs anymore.
Augh Potbelly is SO gross! I eat tuna cold and they warme it up, totally ruined my sandwich and my mood that day. ETA: please still love me

Then order something ELSE. :-w
I still love you. It honestly took me a couple sandwiches at PB to fall in love with it.
Pick something for me to order! It's hard for me to branch out! Nothing besides tuna sounded good. I think being pregnant has made me extra careful because I don't want to hate the food I order and then ugly cry all the way home!

Order the Wreck sandwich - it has ham, turkey, roast beef, salami and swiss cheese (I also add mushrooms). Put whatever toppings on it you like - you can't really get this sandwich wrong. Keep in mind their mustard is brown deli mustard, not yellow. And the hot peppers are pretty spicy, so I get them on the side.

Mmmmmm, I'm so getting Potbelly for lunch. With an oreo shake too. Or maybe a malt.

Some website (I think it was MSN) posted something yesterday about how to make all kinds of doughnuts, and now I'm convinced I need a doughnut baking pan... don't they know it's not nice to put that kind of thing in front of people like me?!

They did make things somewhat better by putting a recipe for kronuts on the list however. and that I may feel the need to make while still pregnant, otherwise I won't have a good excuse to eat them!!

Every time someone says kegels, I do them.

Chocolate chip pancakes

I'm not supposed to do kegels because my pelvic floor muscles are already extremely tight from endometriosis problems. But, it also worries me not to do them.

I'm so jealous of all you ladies out on mat leave already or going soon. Cabooser with no perks to going out early I still have a good 2 months left of work:(

I've heard this before, but clearly not enough people mention kegels. From now on, I'm doing them every time someone starts an "am I in labor?" thread. I'm going to have the strongest vag EVER!

And every now and then someone should just say "KEGELS!" In the RTT.

My prenatal yoga instructor has us sit there and do kegels at the end of our class. It really creeps me out, seeing 12 women with their legs splayed open knowing they're all clenching their vaginas in unison.

I don't do them...I close my eyes and wait until the awkwardness passes.

Do people do this with a straight face? Everything about that is super awkward lol.

AmyV416 · February 2014

I feel like kegels can be a pregnant ladies version of a drinking game......

katieharpiceland · February 2014

Growth spurt time. I've been hungry ALL day. French fries being made now.

Tferr02 · February 2014

I'm going to kill my DH tonight. He knows it too.

Just read through the new birth stories on M14. I'm totally freaked out that a LOT of the women had their babies at 37ish weeks. That would give me less than 4 weeks if that happens to me. Ahhhhh!

I was JUST talking about this with the DH this morning. I said, you know, our last two came at 36 weeks, if that happens again, we're looking at less than 4 weeks. :-?

Then I realized not only will I no longer be pregnant...but fuck, we're bringing home a baby and I started flipping out about having 4 kids. OMG. I'm going to have 4(!!!) kids.

:-S

Pinterest will sometimes make your account start following people it thinks you will like. Super annoying. Just click on them and unfollow.

What????

PINTEREST DOESN'T KNOW MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

MrsL13 · February 2014

My cat just meowed at DD. So DD screamed "WHAT PRIM!?!?" and Prim meowed again. They did this for a good 5 minutes and I almost peed myself laughing the whole time. Hahaha

Seriously!!! I'll be 36 weeks on Tuesday! Even though I posted earlier that I'm ready to be on maternity leave, I don't know about this whole having an outside baby thing....

Hi ladies! I'm requesting some prayers today, if any of you would care to oblige! DH (he's a financial advisor) is meeting with a client today at 4:00 p.m. and if he can get the guy to agree to invest some additional funds he has elsewhere, DH will meet the sales quota needed to give him a more-than-double base salary raise (plus the commission off this sale will be so sweet). This raise basically means I'll be able to take off 8+ weeks of unpaid maternity leave without worrying about my car getting repo'd (kind of a joke, kind of not). We haven't been able to put money away during my pregnancy because I pay my OB clinic $365 a month and recently, my boss decided he can't afford to employ me full time anymore and cut my hours, so we've fallen behind quite a bit. Basically, our financial future counts on the appointment DH has this afternoon, so if you wouldn't mind crossing some fingers and/or putting in a good word with the Big Man Upstairs, I'd really appreciate it! :x

Prayers and good luck being sent your way!!!
