I'm going to pregnancy swim tonight. I am always a little apprehensive when going to new classes at the gym or in a gym type setting. I must be a weirdo. Its a bunch of pregnant ladies in a pool that's attached to a nursing home, how scary is that? Not scary at all...

Dear SO, Normally, I love being woken up in the middle of the night for sex. But now that I'm pregnant and have a hard time falling asleep because I'm anxious and this baby and I have a will match to find a comfortable sleeping position, don't you ever wake me up in the middle of the night for sex!!! This is because you get off then fall right asleep and now I'm wide awake and have a hard time falling asleep all over again. Once the baby is out of me and we've all established a routine you are more than welcome to jump my bones in the middle of the night again. Love, Deidre
You're good. I don't even like being woken up when I'm not pregnant for sex. Morning, it's on. But if I'm in my REM state, get that thing away from me.
This is my husband. I thought I was being all romantic and a good wife on the honeymoon trying to wake him up for a quickie. No go. If the lights aren't on, nobody's home.

hahahahaha

My baby is in his CT scan right now

hope he stays still for it and praying that everything looks ok...we won't find out results today, after to wait for a follow up with a neurologist for that.

Having a no-good-very-bad-horrible day. It could be worse, but it's not great. Slipped in the parking lot yesterday (didn't fall) but can't walk on my knee this morning. Saw the doc, have a sprain and can't work the rest of the week. Now, having a ton of belly pain near my belly button--even hurts to touch or breathe. Have to call the OB now after I pick up my crutches and learn how my pregnant self is supposed to use them. Wah! End of whine.

Yuck! As if its not uncomfortable enough just being pregnant. Sorry doll, that sounds like the pits.

I still don't get the purpose of the name threads. :-)

TMI: I have been using my breasts as a commodity lately, I kind of feel like a hooker. Example: "Ryan if you help me shave my legs you can touch my boobs for two minutes." Poor DH. They are just sensitive and I don't get the same pleasure from being touched as I used to.

Up until recently he has greeted other dogs appropriately on leash but all of a sudden the last few times he has encountered other dogs while he is leashed he reacts negatively toward them. I dont know if he is feeling the need to protect, if he is fearful or if he feels the need to be dominant over them. As soon as he is off leash he behaves and is playful.

Is it only when you are walking him? It may be because you're pregnant and he's guarding you.

Stace0616 · January 2014

@KatieGummow - My DH is the same right now. I feel bad, because he was always a boob guy. He was just commenting the other day on how unfair it is that they get so big but I can't bear for him to touch them most of the time. Our poor men

danamarie421 · January 2014

Ladies, thank you so much for all of your advice and support! I am so thankful to be part of such a great BMB!

I'm going to update my resume tonight and apply for the position tomorrow! We'll see what happens!

Thanks again!!

fourthnlast · January 2014

Shit. I heard the doorbell while I was in the bathroom and assumed a package was getting delivered. Nope. Missed certified mail from the IRS. This can't be good and I can't pick it up until tomorrow morning.

mrscrcalli · January 2014

I want to sleep on my back so bad!!

DS is FINALLY napping. He did so well while grocery shopping (way better than expected) and then lost his damn mind when we got home. Gave himself a bloody nose while complaining about it being nap time, etc. Oy. It's definitely a night where DH needs to take over STAT upon getting home.

Also, I took off shirt to do laundry and my nipples were almost entirely out of my bra. 0_o Clearly need to retire that one!

This is me every day. I keep trying to make my bras fit, but at this point I don't even know why I'm wearing them when my nipples aren't even covered.

Sisimama10 · January 2014

Leggings were a greattttt choice today. I may never wear regular pants again!

I'm the same way but am always so happy I went during the session and afterwards

Emily041285 · January 2014

Apparently while DH was on his cruise with work this weekend he lost his wedding band! While I'm not actually pissed about him losing it (I actually bought him a super cheap one at SAMs because I figured he'd lose it) I'm peeved he wasn't going to tell me! As soon as I walked into his office today a coworker told me! I mean seriously dude, fess up when something happens!

katieharpiceland · January 2014

I have one bra since the beginning of the pregnancy. Its so beaten up its ridiculous and I've bought a few others that I thought would work and they are terrible. This one I bought in America and haven't yet found one like it here. Seriously, its so good at the beginning I slept in it, and now, the poor thing is so worn out. I'm not big so I don't need a ton of support, but, I need comfort. So, I just soldier on with this poor guy, getting washed constantly...dying a slow bra death...

AmyV416 · January 2014

We just performed a routine lockdown drill at school. I turned out the lights, locked the door, and pulled down the shades as my 7th period class huddled into the "safe corner" of our classroom. I also need to sit in the same corner with my legs folded in and hugging my knees. As I got down to the floor it dawned on me I will not in fact be able to get up. Fortunately, one of my strapping young 8th graders offered to get me off the floor when the drill ended. He held both my hands, firmly planted his feet over the top if mine and popped me right off the floor. 30 8th graders and myself are still quietly giggling about my round state, and my inability to perform basic human tasks, like getting up.

Yes, leggings are always a great choice! I'm wearing a pair today also.

Thank you @biggerinreallife. I'm going to copy all that done and start working with him now before it gets worse.

Thanks for all the advice, ladies. Hopefully he will catch on quickly, training has been pretty easy so far with him.

Actually, it was just from motherhood maternity. It has no wires and all of it is very soft with padding in the front. I think it was about 40$. Probably a lot of people would hate it, I'm barely a C cup now and its perfect for me.

JessieAlbin · January 2014

I have the flu. Son of a bitch.

Well. At least I have the rest of the week off work and some tamiflu.

Ok, I might be a total meanie but nursing home pool water? hmmmm....I won't get in a kiddy pool for fear of floating in pee pee. Im sure it'll be fine. Just my obsessive hang ups surfacing! Plus, I hear that the elderly in Iceland have the pelvic muscles of an ox and incontinence doesn't exist! Its the preggos you gotta worry about lol

this is me. I went into Motherhood yesterday specifically requesting tunics I can wear with leggings bc if I wear anything but that I end up feeling fat and restricted and it turns into a bad day.

jennypenny1014 every time I am bumping from my ipad and DS is nearby, he sees your siggy pic and says "TREE MAN". Even though its been over a day or two since he last saw it, on the way to school this morning, he kept babbling about "tree man on mama ipad". And I just giggled thinking, that's jennypenny on the RTT thread.

LMAO!! Your DS is awesome.

Has he seen that movie?

LMAO Mine are so sensitive but are also the BatPhone to my ladybits, so I encourage DH to touch them...I get off in 10 seconds flat, multiple times right now when he does...you bet your sweet ass I'm taking advantage of that shit before baby gets here! The second they get used as food, the BatPhone gets temporarily disconnected and I have to concentrate HARD to get them to accept stimulation as anything but the baby...then it's back to long drawn out hard work to get off just once. Le sigh.

Krispix78 · January 2014

I've decided that I am doing nothing productive today and that includes putting on a bra. And I refuse to feel guilty about the half bag of mini Chips Ahoy I just ate.

AMEN to the latter. Never feel guilty.. The bag is small anyway.

Is it just me...or is it an odd point in pregnancy (going into the third trimester) for there to be so many new intro posts....I get that some of them have been long time lurkers, but its a pregnancy board...whats the point of all the sudden trying to post more now when you haven't been posting for the past 6 months? It's not like your going to have a better experience by waiting until people have already made connections to show up for just a short time? And are any of these "new intros" really that likely to post more just because they finally made an intro?

A lot of people tend to drop off the BMBs after the babies are born, but a smaller group hangs around and continues to discuss things happening as the babies get bigger. It becomes more of a parenting board than a pregnancy board. Maybe some of them plan to hang out longer.

My boobs have suddenly doubled in size. I keep doing double takes in the mirror, especially when I'm wearing something low cut because it catches me off guard. I gladly welcome the cleavage

Everyone keeps saying how small my stomach is and I want to be like "well my boobs growing 3 cup sizes would make any stomach next to them look small...."

deidremaria · January 2014

Im supposed to be napping before class right now. Guess it ain't happening. I guess I'll just go to bed early last night. Oh yea I was productive today. I assembled a 4 drawer chest for the nursery all by myself. I shall assemble the glider and ottoman tomorrow and next week we'll be crib shopping.

HA, my bump seems huge because right around the time it started to pop my boobs went DOWN 3 cup sizes! I was breastfeeding DS1 when I got pregnant, and as soon as I quit my boobs disappeared back to their teenager size.

Stace0616 · January 2014

God help me, I've decided to re-organize my husband's dresser. I have no idea why the man needs 1.5 closets and a full size dresser for all of his clothes. Things may discreetly make it into the Goodwill pile without his knowledge.

Maybe it's because I'm jealous that he can buy clothes wherever he wants, but the man needs to stop shopping. He has already commandeered the baby's closet. And he thinks the baby won't need it because his clothes are so tiny. Someone will be getting a rude awakening soon....
