Poll: Things you no longer care about that used to matter (now that you are pg)

What are things that used to matter to you that you don't even worry about anymore?
+ Work/who will be my replacement when I go on leave (since they can't seem to get this figured out and it doesn't seem to matter that I'm 2 weeks from my EDD!)
+ Being perky
+ Panty lines

Re: Poll: Things you no longer care about that used to matter (now that you are pg)
- Being on time to work - my coworkers never are and it used to really piss me off but then I realized I'm 8 MONTHS PREGNANT DAMMIT. So now I get here when I get here.
- Looking cute when I'm at home in my lounging around clothes - I used to sort of make an effort (yoga pants etc.) but I'm so big now I just wear DH's t shirts and huge baggy pj pants = SEXY
- Mopping the floor. If it gets bad enough DH will do it. My back doesn't want me to anymore
- counting calories/carbs
- back fat. it's a losing battle at this point
so many other things!
BFP #2 = 3/30/09 DD born 12/9/09
BFP #3 = 5/17/11 EDD = 1/27/12
18 months
* Work, definitely! I used to have to be really sick or bleeding heavily (in the case of my m/c) to call in. This week I've taken my maternity leave early for basically no reason since I'm still not in freakin' labor
* wearing sweatpants to anywhere but Walmart or the gym - honestly, at this point if it fits, I'm wearing it
* Wearing sneakers with khakies or black pants - used to be a big no-no but it's the only thing that fits or is comfortable on my giant pregnant hippo feet
Good poll!
+ I don't have to worry about sucking my stomach in anymore, I love letting it all hang out, lol
+ Petty drama from annoying people IRL; having this baby is so much more important than all that crap. I just ignore it now.
I also don't care if I'm not at work on time.. this other chick in my dept strolls on in nearly 2hrs late now.. so what do I care if i'm running 15mins late?
I also think that I can't skip meals if I can't be bothered.. now I know I must eat more healthy because of the baby i'm carrying depends on me too.. so I don't skip food.
I used to HAVE to have my cocktail time with my friend every Fri afternoon, now I have come to realise that I just need that time at the end of the week to nap if I feel I'm exhausted (which I usually am at the end of the week)
Laundry - if DH doesn't do it the way I like it to be done, I don't let it bother me.. I'm now just greatful that he helps (even if its not the way I want it to be)
Cleavage.. I didn't mind so much if I showed some before, but now, I really want my bb's covered... Hey, these are going to be my LO's only source of food.. they don't need to be out there for everyone to see - especially since they've gotta be DDD's about now!
that's all I can think of right now!
- I used to be anal retentive about things not clinging to my gut and hiding my belly, now that I have a big ol' pg belly, I just let it show!
- Work definitely doesn't matter to me at this point - I'm so over it and just want to be home on leave already.
- Wearing heels. I used to wear heels every day, hardly ever wore flats. I haven't worn a shoe with a heel since like May!
Wearing my workout pants in public. If I am out running errands I want to be comfortable. At 38 wks I think I am allowed to do this!
In the beginning I was worried about who was going to replace me when I was out on maternity leave. I decided several wks ago that it wasn't my problem to worry about it. I gave them plenty of time to find coverage. My last day is 11-13 (unless he comes early) and there is still NO COVERAGE for me and I don't really care!

-Sucking in the belly. I let it all hang out! (Like I have a choice.)
- Canceling plans or going home early because I'm tired. I used to suck it up and stay out but now I need my sleep
-Getting all my household work done every day. I'm happy if I get one thing accomplished a day.
At this point...
