No cool GIF. Let's just get it on!

Ok...I'll start. I wore maternity jeans to work today (casual friday yay!) and even though I didn't like how my regular jeans fit (couldn't button or zip and not a fan of the hair-tie trick) I still feel silly wearing them. I do however love that my bloat is slightly compressed by a nice layer or cotton fabric

I was so effing tired last night I didn't shower, do the dishes, or pick up anything in the living room. Left FI in quite the mess today with the kids.

A few weeks ago i was in my bedroom with my son and left him to run to the bathroom. When I came back he was on the side of the bed saying "lotion" and rubbing something all over his arms and face ms. Lippy style. It was astroglide that he got out of my husband's drawer. #motheroftheyear

This is not a confession. It's my life.

You're way better than me today...I forgot to move laundry from the washer to the dryer, and it just happened to have the only pair of regular capris that fit still and my maternity capris in that load. So I'm working from home in my pajamas.

me some pajamas. Consider me jealous!

I had cereal for dinner last night. DD had a cereal bar and cheese. I didn't have the energy or will power to fight. I told her it was breakfast for dinner day - which sometimes I do that on Thursdays.. but I actually cook something.. like pancakes or eggs.

I've been wearing my maternity jeans for a couple Fridays now. I just never know how bad the bloat will be and I have a low tolerance for being uncomfortable.. so I'm right there with you! No Shame!

Cereal has been a staple breakfast lunch dinner for me lately because of ms. I'm hoping to get some drive back.....eventually

I can't wait to wear maternity clothes and I don't even need them yet. They're comfortable and you don't have to worry about sucking in.

Yea that's the annoying part. In the morning I look normal and I haven't gained any weight but I am certain my hips have expanded or something because my regular pants are definitely about a size too small now. I don't remember when it happened last pregnancy but I'd rather be comfortable than not and come lunch time the food baby makes an appearance so I said fuck it.

I am also wearing maternity pants today. My regular jeans still fit, but they become very uncomfortable by the end of the day and when I'm sitting. I feel a little ridiculous, but I guess I just have to bite the bullet.

Most of my shirts are very fitted, and so I realized I have almost no shirts to wear. I tried a button up this morning, and it barely buttoned over my belly. I need to go shopping this weekend for some in-between shirts.

This reminds me of why I hate the hair-tie trick. A lot of my shirts don't go low enough to cover the fact that my low-rise pants aren't buttoned so I was also nervous people would notice that. 

Also, I just spent far too much time staring at your gif.

If mine isn't a confession, then wearing maternity clothes shouldn't be either, cuz, ya know, we're all PREGNANT

BookitBoo

I'm 3 episodes in to the second season of American Horror Story and I can't finish it because I'm freaked out (and occasionally still feel like latex suit is watching me from the first season).


My confession is I'm a wimp.

TWINS! Same reaction going on over here!

Edit to add: I am bra shopping online today. Do you have a DD bra that you are in that you would recommend? I bought really crappy ones during my last pregnancy and they didn't hold up very well. I'd like a decent one.

I hate nicknames for your fetus. I'm my saying you need to call it embryo or fetus but I hate bean and little bopper or whatever other annoying names people come up with. Makes me cringe. Maybe it isn't even that people have these nicknames but that they share it.

Eta-probably more of a uo

Sometimes I tell my hubby that I'm nauseas so I can lay down and no one will bother me. But really I am just tired but it doesn't get much sympathy.... So I use my symptoms when they may not exactly be there at that moment. (Head down in shame)

liladelphia215

Oh can I have another Confession?

I get full really fast. Right now I am on the verge of being hungry but I want to wait it out until lunch (I eat at 11, so not that long) so I can stuff my face with a big ol' cold Primo Hoagie and be able to eat it all because it sounds so good right now.

Beauxbaton

Sometimes when people post pro that its somehow bashing people who don't do that. Like someone posted a link of reasons extended breastfeeding was good. And she said "this is why we will be breastfeeding until 2" and t just kinda came off as "I'm better than you."

Whit DS we called him Feety the fetus with his feet in his face. Cause his feet were always in his face.

Hoping this was someone who was already actively breastfeeding that made this statement, because just like "I don't need to have children to know how I will parent them", it just doesn't always go according to plan.

Not yet. I'm looking myself for some. I only bought one D bra assuming they would grow again. I'm tempted to head to the VS clearance rack and grab a $20 DD one. That's what I did for this one. Let me know if you find a good one!

What did you have the last time if you don't mind sharing?

Edit: I said after this, I'm going straight to maternity bras for the remainder. This is a bit ridiculous. I knew they'd grow, but I didn't think it'd be this quick!

These are what I'm looking at now. I wouldn't recommend what I bought last time. They were terrible.

Not happy about the price on the second one but if it fits really well then I will suck it up because I cannot stand wearing an uncomfortable, ill fitting bra.

I don't like those either, bean, nugget, peanut, etc.

We have taken to calling our baby "George" (in a British accent) because our 3 year old loves Peppa Pig and she always talks about wanting a brother named George. So when we told her she automatically assumed I had a piglet named George in there. That's what she calls him so that's what we call him/her. She will be disappointed when the baby is born and is not a piglet. And we have no plans of actually naming him George lol.

see this is a nickname I can get behind. And we are huge peppa fans here too.

We use wigglet because that's what we call all our future kids-- the wigglets. I'm wiggle and he's big wiggle. We prefer it over using "it"

So now the more important question. Why are you and your husband "wiggles"? Yes "it"is terrible I call mine a baby.

MichaelSC28

Well mine definetly is not as exciting but...my boobs hurt like crazy and well my hubby is a boob man...so at night I wear long sleeve shirts to bed to deter him from his constant want to touch them...LOL

He hasn't figured it out yet...I hope...lol

Jk, but I am jealous.

Along the jean lines - I'm wearing the same pair of capris that I wore yesterday and the technically the 3rd time I've worn them this week without washing them.  Pretty boring I know, but I really have nothing else.

Having huge boobs is not fun. But I guess the boobs are always greener on the other side.

I've been on both sides. Huge boobs suck. Smaller boobs for the win.

I don't have a bump or blump and I haven't gained a pound - I've actually lost weight since I started IVF. Still, my body is changing already and I hate the way I look. I know that it's silly. I know that this is just a part of being pregnant and I want this more than almost anything, but I still can't help feeling bad about myself. I guess I just have zero confidence and low self-esteem. Hopefully it won't be so bad when I actually look pregnant instead of just not like myself.

MH was being a brat last night. So, when our cat was getting ready to puke a hairball on his pillow (with him laying on it being oblivious), I almost didn't say anything. :-\"

I understand what you are saying. The in between stage definitely isn't fun. When you start to show, I hope your opinion changes. I know mine did

I guess my confession right now is that the silly nicknames don't bother me. I don't care what people call their baby, I've always called mine parasites and devil spawn. Who am I to judge if someone wants to call their belly a pumpkin, peanut, etc? Along those lines, I use the silly sounding pet names on the board, in part, to make my friends here shake their heads in disgust, partly because it's habit, and partly because no one wants me to write "That's an adorable parasite you have growing there!"

Yes...I usually use Monster or devil Spawn...and my friends just look at me. HAHA They tell me that its not nice...and I just stare at them.  My DH calls it Bacon Monster...don't ask.

LOL "Thats an adorable parasite you have growing there"

AreWeHavingFunYet

Mine is related to my visit to MFM at the hospital this week for my NT scan. 3D ultrasounds creep me out. A lot. I hope my OB doesn't offer one this time around. Just a regular ol US is fine with me.

Backstory: I was waiting to get called and a girl was making her appointment for one. The receptionist was explaining that the baby looks alien-like but it's really cool to see how they look. The girl then says, "Yeah, I don't know who wouldn't want to get one if they had the opportunity."

I wanted to be like - ME! ME! I wouldn't get one if offered. I don't want a picture of a scary alien-like blob in my house.
