I have four maternity camis that I've been wearing under shirts to control the boobage. This has been a really ridiculous week at work and I haven't had time to do anything else.

Four shirts, five days....you do the math. The one I'm wearing is totes from the hamper.

ZOMG - I thought you wore all four shirts layered up for the entire week. And I still wasn't going to judge you. I have low standards.

I confess I'm not convinced our baby is a girl, despite an anatomy scan at 19w1d.

I can't shake the feeling.

The baby stayed in the same position during the entire ultrasound. We were able to see her bottom quite clearly and that is where we saw "the three lines". (Kind of like people who drunkenly sit on the copy machine at the office Christmas party to take a Xerox of their arse - that was the view.)

But I don't feel convinced. I really feel like there could have been male genitals very, very easily just out of sight of the ultrasound wand.

Then last night I saw the thread on here on the same topic and it just made me further convinced it could be a boy-child in there.

Maybe a elective u/s is needed to be sure?

I understand your doubt- at our f/up US (21w5d)- I asked if we were sure if it was a boy. Ironically, as I was saying that, the money shot came up. There was NO DOUBT that was boy. So if your bebe had junk, it wouldn't be hiding anywhere. It would be floating up in plain sight.

As a funny side note- our PN (who is hilarious)- printed off a pic of the money shot for us. We all had a good laugh and I said I was going to frame it and show it to his first date.

I had a dream last night (first baby related dream) that my "80% sure it's a girl" baby was a boy. He also came out able to hold a bottle himself, so there's that.

My FFC is more of a hilarious embarrassing moment that I thought all of you would enjoy, but I figured it would be a bit AW-ish to make a whole post about it. Also, slightly TMI, but hilariously so.

The other day I was at a LONG board meeting (five hours) at a fancy downtown hotel and we were sitting pretty much the whole time. As they brought out dinner, I really had to pee, but I was also starving, so I decided to hold it till after the meal. When dinner was over, I walked to the bathroom, which was way on the other side of the hotel lobby, feeling more than a little uncomfortable after all that sitting and pee-holding.

As I got into my bathroom stall and sat down on the toilet, I had such a sense of relief that I just relaxed everything, and along with my pee came the longest, loudest, gurgling-est fart you can imagine. I think it outlasted my pee. It was such a surprise, and came with such force that I couldn't hold it in!

Worst of all, I was 99% sure that the chairwoman of our board was in another stall in the same bathroom. I hid in the stall till I knew no one was left in the bathroom. LOL.

I have four sports bras and do laundry every two weeks and usually workout more than four times in a two week period. So the sports bra gets worn into the shower and essentially just rinsed off so I can wear them again before doing laundry.

Definitely no way I can judge you. I should really buy more sports bras.

I've only bought 2 pairs of maternity jeans this pregnancy, so I run into the same predicament.

EIsieMae · November 2012

If the subject of a thread has a TMI warning, I have to open it. I know I'll probably regret it, but I just can't help myself...

On a similar note, if someone posts a TMI warning, then proceeds to talk about something that isn't really TMI (like constipation), I feel cheated out of a really disgusting story.

FTR,I know I am going to completely regret this behavior later on in 3rd Tri when I open on of these posts and come face to face with a picture of a mucous plug or something equally disgusting

For those of us who have a bad habit of recycling clothing pointing finger at myself here too, little trick I learned. Using a spray bottle spritz said clothing with a mix of equal parts vodka and water. Hang up and let dry overnight. It gets rid of even the smelliest man odor and doesn't leave a scent behind like Febreeze. As for my confession, because I want to breastfeed I've done research into PCOS to see if it will affect my ability to do so and have gotten conflicting results. It makes me really upset to think that because of my PCOS I might not be able to BF my child. I cried about it because I'm that worried.

I have no advice on the subject, but I'm sorry you are worrying about it. I'm sure you'll be the best breastfeeder out there

We're going to do an elective ultrasound at 24w for the same reason. Especially after two boys, I just can't dodge it either. It'll be too early for the 3D images and rather late for gender confirmation, but when I told the woman why she completely understood!

I'm not totally convinced ours is a boy. I've thought it was a girl from the beginning and I just can't shake the thought. We didn't actually see any genitals during our u/s, but the Dr did take a peek from a distance and wrote it down for us. He did say not to go out and buy anything yet, so maybe that's where part of my doubt is coming from.

My confession:
I've been wearing the same bra for almost 2 weeks straight now. I have some inflammation of the cartilage around my ribs which gets irritated by my underwire bras and I only have one wireless. And I haven't had a chance to do laundry in a while. I'm gross. I did buy some new bras, but had to get them online and they haven't gotten here yet.

I feel like this is alcohol abuse. Thanks for the advice but I just don't think I could bring myself to use vodka in this way.

Whaaaat??? You've got to be freaking kidding me. I don't even know if I want to google this. Just one more thing to worry about Sad I hate PCOS. I hate IF. I'm over it.

I'm too annoyed right now to think of a FFFC. I'll be back.

My good friends has PCOS and was able to BF her son with pretty much no issue. I hope you are as lucky as she was Smile

TnArichmond · November 2012

haha, i'm totally laughing from all of you saying that you didn't wash X clothing. I have been wearing the ONE bra that is comfortable on me for over 2 weeks with out a wash. My last day off I planned on washing it, while we would be home all day, but we ended up going to visit family. Weekends have been full of holiday activites and birthday parties. My boobs just won't part with it. I also regularly wear pants twice before washing them.

but now i'm feeling a little revealed and maybe i should be ashamed of this? i hope this doesn't make me cry now too. effin hormones.

I was able to BF my son for a year with PCOS. My milk was slow to come in and I did have to use Fenugreek and pump after feedings for a couple weeks (including overnight, which sucked), but I was able to build up a good supply. My supply tanked when I got pregnant, but I had no problems keeping up with DS until then. So keep the faith -- there is a very good chance that you'll be able to BF if you choose to do it!!

My confession: you know that jerk who is parked on/over the line in a parking lot or ramp? There is a good chance that's me. I'm not a turd trying to take up two spots to prevent my car from getting dinged or something - I just have truly terrible depth perception. I have hit the side of our garage so many times that the paint is literally worn off the trim. When around other people's property, I try to leave lots of extra space... thus the terrible parking.

I always wear pants 2+ times a week, and I normally only shower every other day unless I work out. I do wash face, pits, and the nether realm, but if I take a shower I HAVE to wash my hair, and it just doesn't need to be washed every single day.

I have to agree with this. I didn't think it was possible to be so sure of the sex until I saw this babe's boy parts on the screen. I was like, "Woah! There's no denying that." It looked completely different from my two girls' bits'n'pieces on ultrasound.

spoilme1 · November 2012

I used to be very anal about needing to shower every day (sometimes twice a day!) but lately I easy go two days with out. *hides face* I wear clean clothes daily though (except for my bra since I have two that don't give me grief) but WHAT is wrong with me?!

mypalbabs · November 2012

F/U confession: I just made an appt at an elective ultrasound place for tomorrow. I really would like a shot from the front to be sure.

LeahMaria - I'll report back about our experience. It's the place in Bloom.

randomnames · November 2012

Sounds like we're a bunch of dirty mommies and mommies to be. Me included. I have to shower daily because my hair gets really gross if I don't. But I still sometimes spend entire weekends in my Pjs without showering. Oh and I almost always wear pants 2 times before washing them.

all of this is me, too. I'm a dirty birdie, I guess

OhSewCrafty · November 2012

Hooray! I not the only dirty one! lol

merebebe · November 2012

I only wash my jeans when they are dirty or starting to smell...which could be two days or two weeks...In my defense, I once read an article that said jeans should never be washed to maintain shape and color lol.

I even re-wear tops if they are clean and don't smell, I just hang them up after I take them off. Especially things that are more delicate, like wool sweaters, I don't want them to wear out even faster. And I feel like I am wasting water when something is clean, but worn. My son also wears PJ's two-three nights in a row because they usually don't get dirty unless he happens to eat breakfast in them.

bhylleng · November 2012

I am the complete opposite. I need to shower twice a day. Getting into a bed dirty and, thus, a dirty bed the next night, grosses me out.

cheesecakerunner · November 2012

Welp. I only shower every other day (even when I work out) and only wash jeans after two wears. I didn't even have the decency to be ashamed here. Oops.

My FFFC: I hate the Elf on the Shelf. I'm a huge traditionalist at Christmas and hate any new songs, new decorations and new movies (in elementary school, the teacher read us the Polar Express and I almost flipped my sh*t at how lame it was). I just think the EotS is creepy, a lot of work for the parents and a totally uncreative way to make Christmas "magical" for kids. It's not exciting to me if every family bought the same thing at Target and does the same thing every night.

I really love Christmas and normally its Christmastown at my house by now. Unfortunately, Halloweentown has yet to vacate. I did muster the energy to collect all the fall decor and assemble it on the kitchen table but the thought of going into that attic makes me want to head for a nap instead.
