6. How far along did you need maternity clothes? I started early (~13 weeks) but I don't wear baggy clothes so that is a factor. I found that I was getting grumpy at the end of the work day because my pants were too restrictive. So maternity pants helped aleviate that issue.
7. What is your must-have items for pregnancy? Good question - so far a nice pair of materity jeans was a changing point. Jeans caused me huge drama until I decided to suck it up and visit Pea in the Pod. I would never spend that much money on jeans unless I was desperate for something. Those jeans have been the most comfortable thing I can wear; which is good because they are worn half the week.
8. Anybody know of any great thrift stores for baby clothes and goodies? I like Childish Things, Again & a Gain and Olivia's Consignment. Best deals have been from garage sales and neighborhood list serves.

TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW?
I just had my IUD removed on 6/20, and I didn't have a cycle while on BC for so many years I have no clue what my cycle will look like. I'm charting using BBT and CM, and I got EW today plus my temp has been steadily going down so I think I'm close to the big O!

I leave for a girls weekend away in Reno on Thursday! My two besties and I are driving down, and we're so excited for a non kid weekend!
3. Monday confession?
I wish a horrid, painful case of Gona-Herpa-Syphyl-Aids on my scum sucking XH who went to prison for DV and spends each day since getting out of jail trying to break my restraining order and find us. Wheww... how's that for a confession?
On a lighter note, I confess a deep, unbridled love for cupcakes and will go to great lengths for a Red Velvet cupcake!
4. Questions for next week?
Does anyone know if there's a cloth diaper service that will deliver to the south Pierce Co area?
