  • @KLmyz ...... so we aren't due date buddies anymore????
  • Tell me if this is stupid...

    I know due dates are complete guesses to begin with and they basically mean nothing. By LMP my due date is march 17th. When I went in for at 6 weeks for an ultrasound, the sac measured a few days smaller so they changed it to the 21st. This same thing happened with my daughter...LMP put me at April 20th, sac measured small so they moved me to April 27th. I ended up having her April 17th and was completely unprepared because I anticipated having another week at least, but likely more since first babies usually go late. I had only stopped commuting the long train trek to work a few days prior. I went in for the NT scan last week the sonographer told me the listed date was march 19th (where are all these different numbers coming from?). I plan to ask my bosses to stop commuting 2 weeks before my due date, because I will not risk going into labor at work and hour and a half away from my home or on the train. Basically, the earlier the better. Is it stupid to ask the doctor's office to move the due date back to the 17th? 
  • Where does a VERY petite person shop for maternity jeans/capris and dresses? I swim in everything at Old Navy.  :(
  • Happy birthday @ladybugsamom

    This is random...when did you guys start 'dressing your bump?' I'm 14 weeks and have a bump for for sure, but having had IBS for years, I feel like I've had this kind of looking bump from being bloated frequently but never emphasized it, I hid it! This time, bump is baby, but do I wear tight maternity clothes to 'show it off' this early on? Or will everyone think it's just a burrito I had for lunch???

    I am 5'2.  Normally petite, but I do thicken up a little more during later pregnancy, but I haven't had length issues with some full panel h&m jeans and some of the stuff at motherhood.  I think it's Macy's that cares motherhood as well.  I bought a few dresses off of pink blush last time and they were a bit long.
  • @mountain_girl I'm 15 weeks and totally in full on maternity clothes, lol. I carry my weight in my midsection and I feel like maternity wear kind of rounds it out and makes it look more bump-ish. ;) Especially the shirts with the ruching on the side, and those are pretty obvious to most people as maternity shirts.

  • @ashleyf911 so it's obvious that you're pregnant and not bloated?? This will be my second baby, so I'm definitely 'showing' earlier, with my DD I don't think I dressed my bump until 16-17 weeks?  I forget and I'm a bad mom who took like no bump shots 
  • @mountain_girl I think so! I like to dramatically put my hand on my little bump too if I'm feeling especially self conscious lol. But the maternity pants and shirts really do help to round things out.

  • @justkeeptrying i feel like you're close enough to the magical 13 week mark that those are totally legit flutters and not deserving of eye rolls! That's so exciting! I'm 14 today and I swear sometimes I get a little kick but they always feel too strong if that makes sense. Like Baby is still so little that I think what I'm feeling is probably something else unfortunately, because they're not gentle flutters, they're full on kicks. 
  • @justkeeptrying no eye rolls here. It's absolutely possible, especially on your 4th! 
  • Have we heard from @barrelocarol since she went off the grid?
    I came here wondering exactly that.
  • We just found out one of my brothers lost everything to Irma. His home is gone, all of their belongings. They're staying with his wife's oldest daughter now until they can find a new place but ugh. My heart hurts. 

  • Also, I don't think we've heard from @SoFlaMommie1128 either in the last couple of days. I know she went to Tampa, but I think that was the last we heard, unless I missed something?
  • @ShawnnaO, oh no! That's devastating!! I'm so sorry for your brother. 
  • @ShawnnaO I'm so sorry for your brother and his family!
  • Thank you ladies. This is the brother who I'm definitely the least involved with, but it's still scary and eye-opening to have something happen like this.

    @cford08 it's kind of a tricky situation with helping them. Even my own family is very hesitant because he's always been the one that when he sees someone who has the means to help and is willing to help, he'll take and take and take. I'm younger than him by 18 years and he's tried taking advantage of me before, financially. He's had a steady job for while now, which is saying a lot for him, and that job is offering bonuses and paid leave to the workers affected. They were able to salvage some clothes and school supplies, and his wife's oldest daughter is helping them find a new place. But thank you so much for offering, I just really don't want to get other people involved in his ways. 
  • @ShawnnaO Sorry to hear about your brother, I hope he is able to find a new place without too much hassle.

    @justkeeptrying Yay for the end of the progesterone! :)

    @ladybugsamom Happy belated birthday!

    My fiance just lost his job, and I've been a mess since he told me yesterday. We have so much we are saving up for (wedding & baby), and then I just found out Monday that I need to replace the air compressor in my car because it's rattling and likely causing interior damage. That's going to be a hefty bill, and I decided to dip into our savings to get it fixed on Friday. But now that he's out of work I'm panicking that we won't be able to save up enough in time for baby and the wedding. :(
