We got six flags season passes and went for the first time last night. DH tried telling the kids we aren't getting a bunch of junk food every time we go and I shut that down real quick. If I don't get to go on the rides, you bet your butt I'm gonna sit and watch with all the junk.
I'm going to be 7 months pregnant for a bachelorette this summer and unsure what to do about the matching shirts. Get a couple sizes larger than normal and take it in on the top? Try to make my own with a maternity t shirt in the same color? Anyone have experience with this?

Uhhh do you really need a matching shirt for at home on the couch? Oh, you're actually planning on going!? Major props.
@DuchessOfCambridge - Are they nice shirts or just regular tshirts? I would probably get it a size too big and belt above my bump. Or, if it has elastic, just do my normal size and plan on making the bump overly obvious. Don't get too big or it'll be a tent and look ridiculous.

When is everyone ordering their shirts? I'd say a size or two larger would be fine. If it's just a t-shirt I personally wouldn't even take it in at the top. I loved large tees towards the end of pregnancy.
@DuchessOfCambridge Coming from a family who owns a sporting goods store -- you can have the girls order a shirt that comes in a similar color maternity shirt. Every store goes through a company that can order them! Or go a size or two up in like a flowy, racer back tank.
@DuchessOfCambridge I would get a slightly bigger tshirt but I would invest in a maternity tunic to wear under or a bellaband. So basically even if the tshirt is small it's over your tunic or band and it won't be that bad. I would also cut up the bottom of the tshirt and tie it into a nice bow right above your belly so that you can rock it without looking the odd one out.
@MississippiCatfish haha yeah I have to go. I'm trying to look at it as a vacation!
@kissthesky32@ElizabethSchuyler@Roliepoliecoley4@ShePersisted they are matching "bride tribe" tanks. My only hesitation with ordering larger is that it'll look absurd. I have a really narrow rib cage and no chest (I'm like a 28A) so if it fits my belly I'll be swimming in the top portion. But that's a good point that I could contact the Etsy shop and see if they'll do a maternity shirt for me! It's still a ways off but I'm a planner. Thanks for the advice everyone!
Speaking of chests, I've had sore breasts for weeks now and they are no bigger. Forever flat chested.
@ElizabethSchuyler that is me today, coffee in hand, big girl pants pulled up, ready to face the world, and also, I am a potato trying to be a sunflower and most likely failing.
DH may have a great job opportunity but somewhere almost 1,000 miles away from our parents. My sister lives there though and my bil is the one who can get the recommendation in for DH. Before I got pregnant we were actually pretty excited about this idea. But now I'm freaking out wondering if we should risk waiting for another opportunity after a year (or two!!) to avoid moving while pregnant and adjusting to life with two littles without the very prominent support from our parents. And we don't have the actual job description yet, just what bil already knows, but tying to not to think about any plans while we wait for the details is virtually impossible. This is very long story short here, but I'm seriously struggling with this.
My bff had a family emergency last night and I spent the night sleeping on her couch in charge of DS, her kids, and her nieces and nephews. 8 kids ranging from 2-9...by myself. There is not enough caffeine in the world today
@ArtificialRed - We are gearing up to move when I'm about 22 weeks. We are moving hundreds of miles away to a city where we know absolutely no one and for a job that will keep DH working for about 80-100 hours a week. I'm terrified. But I'm also excited. It'll be an adventure and will help to bond our little family unit. I think it's easier for us because we know exactly what the job is and know that DH has to do this as his next step. I think you'll feel better about it if your husband gets a thorough job description and is excited about the possibility, rather than it just being a nebulous and undefined open position doing something.
You guys, sometimes I forget there's a baby at the end of all this and when I remember I get so excited and teary. I can't wait to snuggle this little one.
I am so busy with work today, but I'm randomly so overwhelmed and distracted by how much freaking laundry I'm going to have once I have two more kids. I'm already overwhelmed with the laundry we have now! Whhyyyyyyy am I thinking about this at not even 9 weeks pregnant?!
@TallMomma29 I've been thinking of the laundry as well! My husband and I do it at night while watching t.v. and its about 8 loads a week right now. I'm not worried about when I'm home with baby but when I go back to work! Two new babies will be a lot!
@kissthesky32 thanks! It does have a little bit of the "adventure" aspect to it. I'm just trying to wait for the extra info. (And failing horribly because I've been researching house costs on Zillow lol)
@ArtificialRed We're moving from Korea to NY (Ft Drum) but I'll only be 17 weeks. Family is a 6 hour drive which isn't too far but far enough that it's not an easy trip. We don't have kids but I'm already nervous about switching OBs, especially so close to when I need my A/S.
My "real" job (besides subbing on my days off) is to manage a computer lab. We're getting all new computers today and I'm totally prepared to tell people I'm pregnant and can't carry shit. I had to carry an empty dog crate from the store checkout to my car this past weekend and that gave me cramps (above my uterus, not really scary but annoying).
This should probably be in thr confessions posts but here goes. I am totally rocking some over sized granny-panies today! I do have a bludge that was making my regular ones roll down onto my section scar which was totally uncomfortable, so I made the leap to the huge ones and ladies.. i am so happy!! Lol
@cottingham3 yes the scar problem! I've had so much trouble with underwear since my CS. So many hit right at the scar and I just can't. I just go for comfort everyday!
Havin my worst day of symptoms yet, almost 10 weeks into this game. I almost threw up in the shower today. I haven't thrown up or even retched once so far, but I was just brushing my teeth in the shower (bc I like to multitask) and suddenly I started gagging uncontrollably and started heaving and retching. I got out of the shower soaking wet and lunged for the toilet but then...nothing happened. I waited a minute and got back in the shower to rinse off and it started back up again. So much uncontrollable drooling.
WTF body get with the program, the symptoms are supposed to be getting BETTER now.

@jka427 I hear you ! I went to the farm today ! @DuchessOfCambridge I personally LOVE the look of giant pregnant women in tight ish clothes just rocking their bump so I would go up a size but not too far up. @Tourmalily hope you're feeling much much better now! Feeling like shit is super shitty.
Totally random but does anyone get notifications like when they get an inbox message or when they get a reply? Is my phone still broken (the answer is yes but I mean is this why I'm not getting notifications) or is it normal?
@Tourmalily oh lord, get used to the toothbrush dry heave. Even though I didn't have MS in my pregnancy with DS, it was a nightly thing. You'll learn how to maneuver to avoid it after a while.

@Tourmalily I haven't had any ms or vomiting but brushing my teeth makes me gag and dry heave every time. It's getting a bit better now that I'm almost 10 weeks but not by much.
eta: So DH just picked up some Amazon packages from the post office. I have a carrier for my Maltese that's 12x12x12 and she fits in it perfectly however I was worried about flying home with it because the airline has a restriction of 8.5" high. Her carrier squishes down but I decided to get the smaller version which is 10x10x10. I didn't think it would be a problem because she's 8" tall and long. Well she can't even stand up in it and now I have to return it. Thankfully I don't have to pay return shipping. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that the airlines accept her carrier knowing that it can squish down. Secretly I'm totally planning on taking her out of it and putting her in my sweater because that's her favorite place to chill.
I also bought a laptop sleeve that said it's for 15" MacBook Pros but mine has way too much room. Not sure if they meant the older models which were thicker because they had disk drives. That's getting returned too.
@bcashaw You only get notifications on the website, not on the app. It's super annoying. I had a thing pop up to tell them what I thought of the app and that was my major complaint. I got an email back saying that there working on it. I doubt it'll happen though - it's been this way since the app started years ago.
