I'm sitting in the parking lot at Kohl's eating my breakfast before shopping for some maternity clothes.
It's probably annoying to everyone when I compare my pregnancy to Jonah's but idgaf, my life is now split into two- before my loss and after.
I never bought maternity clothes with him. I had a bad feeling the entire time and held off on buying EVERYTHING. I'm so glad I waited, putting away the couple things I did buy was torture. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disaster here, but I feel so much better this time!
Re: Y U No make random thread yet?
Kohl's maternity section sucked though. They had, like, 4 shirts.
SO and I are going to a sewing class in a few hours. Gotta learn to make stuff for little Groot.
Also we find out the sex today. Holy balls. I didn't think I'd be this excited but I am.
But first... Pumpkin waffles. Om nom nom.
And I agree that Kohl's maternity section in store sucks. I was really disappointed with mine.
ETA: autocorrect fail.
@chaysefaith Yay! Hopefully the next place will have a better selection.
Anyhoo, I am getting the new iPhone today (happy birthday to me) and we are going apple picking

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!
I'm ready to be done with work already and yet the day is only halfway done. My coworkers are quite rude and I wish I could just be done for good. Stress is not good for pregnant ladies.
Good luck everyone that has appointments today!
I cooked breakfast this am just for me, and the bacon was super thick, which I didn't think would be bad but messed up the cooking and burned some of it but other parts weren't all the way cooked. Then I cooked my eggs in the burned bacon grease so they weren't very good. I didn't realize how burned the grease was boo. But the hashbrowns were pretty good! Needless to say I'll need to eat again soon when R comes home from his run. Then it's Tennessee football time!! R's aunt, uncle and cousin sent us a super cute Tennessee onesie this week! His sister sent us a couple right when we announced too. And they are all different sizes so the baby will be well decked out for games for several months!
I know you posted this yest @katydid2014 but we are doing the exact same thing, not even thinking about or looking at nursery stuff until we know the sex. I guess we are waiting for that anatomy scan to really start getting anything. I have done zero research on any products. I gotta get moving! I'm going to see my bestie next week and help with her twins, and she is gonna give me the lowdown on all things baby gear. She has 2 other kids too. I'm so looking forward to seeing them all!!
Again, I know this was yest, but @FrecklesInside congrats on your boy!! So exciting!!
I dint mind the new format EXCEPT the centered text. I really hate it. It is tough to read and takes me longer to skim.
I didn't buy maternity clothes or do much with Noah either because I was so sick. This time I am doing more as I am feeling better, but just like you it makes me nervous. But I'll pass our diagnosis milestone this week, and our loss milestone the next. Crazy. Then we just have one last ultrasound where there could be a problem. It is hard to believe.
Also, this new mobile bump update looks weird to me. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it's strange right now.
18w2ma! And I can't believe Owen turns 3 tomorrow. That means 3 years ago today my midwives told me I ended to be on bed rest, and that I should go to the hospital to get checked. We never fathomed he would be here the next day!
Eta: @happymamax2 congrats to you too!
Yay for boys!
I haven't been around too much except to lurk. I had a really tough week and I would appreciate any thoughts, prayers, and good vibes you could send my friend's way. One of the girls I work with, well used to she quit yesterday, was almost like a second mom to me. I work with a small group of women and most of us are incredibly close. She started working there right before I did, and right after her son passed. He was 25, she had him at 17, all she really knew was being a mom. Well she never really dealt with any of her feelings about her loss, she's such a giver to everyone else and never takes anything for herself and I think it just caught up to her. She's in a really deep dark depression and a lot of her emotions were coming out when she was drinking and ended up being hospitalized recently. I knew something was going on but nothing to this extent. So yesterday she left our work to help herself and while I couldn't be more proud of her of taking care of herself, I will miss her presence and her energy everyday at my work. I will continue to see her all the time I know, I just feel for her. So anything good juju you all can spare! Thanks for much for reading my babble, I haven't stopped crying since last night.
Surprise! Baby #2 EDD 7/28/17
Hugs to you @chaysefaith
Boston Market was amazeballs, and now I might get it for lunch again today! Yum!
