I sent a bump picture to my aunt and said something about how big my boobs have gotten. She said oh yeah you take after me. I was size f before i was done. F my entire life.
I recently noticed that my leg hair has virtually stopped growing. I shaved my legs right before I went to visit DH (so over a week ago now... and who knows how long it was before that.. probably since the last time I went to visit him ;-)) and my legs are still totally smooth and hairless. Usually my leg hair grows so fast I practically have stubble the same day I shave. I feel like this is such a wasted perk of pregnancy right now! I need my husband to get home or "acceptable to wear shorts" season to get here ASAP.
(Note: I am one of those lazy people who only shaves for the sake of my husband, and/or if I'm going to be wearing a skirt or shorts. If I was a single woman in the winter, my legs would be like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons)
My abdominal area, however, is a different story. I practically turn into a werewolf if I don't keep up with that almost daily
I told dh last night that I've been so excited about finding out the sex at our a/s on Monday that I haven't been so stressed about the actual scan. He was confused. Apparently he thought the 20 week scan was just to tell the sex! Poor guy lol
@salsera29 mine thought the same thing!! And wait it's worse…. this is our 3rd child!! This is the same guy who 2 days after we had sex (in all honesty) wanted to know if I had taken a pregnancy test yet to know if I was pregnant. Again, this is our 3rd go-round. Men crack me up. And he's a smart man. But when it comes to anything relating to a woman's body, he is completely checked out.
Oh, and we have our A/S Monday too! 10:15am!! So does @aliletz. We're all A/S buddies
Since we are talking about clueless DHs, we are on our fourth pregnancy and when we has sex the 1st time after my BFP, DH asked if we should use a condom so we don't get pregnant again or something. What?!? Lol

I want to know wtf happened in August with their big fake drama already in March...but I don't really care enough to go searching for it. Anyone able to provide some cliff's notes?

my legs are the same way lately. I gotta say, I don't hate it.
It is beer Friday at work. I was joking about being jealous of the beer (and sometimes shots) on Fridays. The 2 people I was talking to were surprised I'm pregnant. One said "but you're so tiny!" That is the only time I've ever heard that my entire life. Lol.
@msuducks, at first my leg hair was growing faster... And growing in dark! (It's usually blonde). I was not loving that, but then at some point it just stopped growing. It's pretty amazing! I wish my legs would stay like this forever! ;-)
DH and I were on a nice long walk and he was retelling the story of a conversation he had with his mom. He said "...she's about to give birth in, like, 4 months. I think we'll have our hands full with a tiny human".
I had to stop walking. He's right, it's about 4 months (plus a few weeks) until it's go time. I almost couldn't breathe. I need to start reading about labor and delivery soon because I'm starting to get nervous every time someone mentions it. I know we have some time but it suddenly seems much closer!
Good lord! A14 sure knows how to overreact! Wasn't it just a little shout out? I don't even open those most of the time...and then they're telling Allie how to respond?! Um, duh we've been here longer we wrote the rules.
I have this irrational fear that because I did not grow up with a mother that I won't know how to be a good one. I hate that it crosses my mind every day

DH's dad passed away before he was born, so he never had a father. DH is by far the best father I could ask for for my children! Without trying to sound mean, he is much more involved and a much better father than I had. I think the absence pushes you to be better. You will do great lil mama!!!

You're right, it is irrational. Hang in there. Every mom I know feels the mommy guilt... Don't let it get you. You're going to do the best you can.
I say I was raised by wolves, but that's only going to make me a better mom. And if all else fails, I will make them just dysfunctional enough to be funny.

Heyyyy, that's not true in the slightest. Sometimes, it's better to have learned from the mistakes your mother made and be able to pass that wisdom on to your children. And quite frankly my dear, to already fear that you will not be a good enough parent already makes you a great one. It shows how much you love your child and don't want to make the same mistakes your mother once did hugs to you!
I'm obsessed with Pharrell's song "Happy". I'm just super excited about this SharkBaby.
Think of all the other Disney songs we'll have stuck in our head in about 4 months... and beyond ) I'm looking forward to revisiting old classics like, "The Sword in the Stone" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"
I love Bedknobs and Broomstick!! I bought it on DVD about 6 months or so ago in preparation for my kids. I also saw the name Eglentine on a baby name list and was like "That name is in Bedknobs and Broomsticks!" My DH gave me the funniest look, lol.

"Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore" :-\" %-(
They shouldn't make pregnant women have to renew their driver's license and get their picture taken. There should be a year extension or do a full body pic so the bump shows. Now I'm stuck with a chubby faced picture for the next four years.
If my husband does not stop bitching about needing a haircut, I'm going to hold him down and pour Nair all over his head. He's been complaining for two weeks and now we have plans today and are supposed to go to a party tomorrow and he's worried about looking bad. You waited until now why?
Here is a promo code for Disney movie club: 23608. That gets you 5 dvds or blu rays for $1 and a 6th for $11.95 and a 7th for $8.95. Then after that, you only have to get 3 at regular price I think. I have done this four times. I finish out my obligation, cancel it, and sign up again. I have almost every Disney movie.
I don't think I realized how much I depended on the tanning bed for light therapy until not being able to do it this winter. Today and yesterday have been bright, sunshiny, beautiful days, and my energy and mood levels have skyrocketed. I don't think I've been this productive since, well, the last sunshiny spell. Here's hoping the weather man is right, and this weather is here to stay for a week or so!
I just had my first total meltdown complete with ugly crying this pregnancy. I am usually not a crier and thought I would get away with out having to experience the crying over something silly bit.
I'm really hoping that was the first and last.
Side note- I have a sugar free devils food cake with sugar free frosting waiting for me. I am going to have a enormous slice before bed to make myself feel better.
Spent a few minutes lurking on June, and they are posting about being in the 3rd trimester!!! Reminded me of our confusion over joining the 2nd trimester club...are we calling it week 27? According to TB, mine starts on 4/7 at 26w5d lol. THAT'S SO SOON EEK!
Also, accidentally ended up in September and they're bashing some girls who started a FB group already. Ah, the memories.
Pregnancy narcolepsy is apparently a real thing... After a night full of nightmares, I got up, dressed for church, and sat down at the computer around 9:40 to check facebook "for a minute"... the next thing I know, it is 10:15, my phone is buzzing, and I've got a big old red line across my forehead from the edge of the desk, where I apparently just took a 20 minute or so nap. Looks like Jesus and I will be spending our time together today on my living room couch.
After easily picking out our crib, travel system and high chair for some reason I'm completely stuck on the carrier. There are too many options. I've only ever heard of the Ergo and apparently that's good. So maybe I'll just default to that?

I have the ergo and I like it.
Did you also use a sling sometimes or just the Ergo?

ONE LESS HOUR OF PREGNANCY UNTIL WE GET TO MEET OUR BABIES!
And this fall when we "fall back" it's one extra hour we get to sleep!
I'm really hoping that was the first and last.
