TTTTTT

Third
Trimester
Tossin' in
The
Towel
Tuesday.


What are you throwing in the towel on these last few days/weeks?


I'm throwing in the towel on any bra that has metal anything- claps, adjusters, underwires.

Also, pants- but isn't everyone? Leggings and long Tshirts for all the rest of the days.

And painting the nursery, even though I already have the paint. It has walls and they are a color and it's good enough?!

(Threw on towel on workouts longer ago than I'd like to admit)

  • Wearing anything remotely cute.  ;)  Comfort is key, and thankfully I'm out of the office (working from home until the baby is born) after tomorrow, so I don't have to care anymore.  

    Also loading/unloading the dishwasher.  I can't bend down anymore.

  • Adding that I painstakingly had to decide to throw I the towel on the walk-through epic Christmas lights display at the arboretum and gardens and the amazing holiday indie craft fair and the National Gingerbread Championship display at the most incredible regal inn on top of the mountain. I would surely curl up and die after walking the required amounts to attend these events which really make it feel like Christmas for me.

    Boo hoo *pout*
  • Doing my hair. No blower dryer or flat iron. Wash, and messy bun. I will still wear makeup, only because I'm still working.

    If this is the Grove Park, remember that cupcake/candy store they have. Because it may be worth the trip after all!

    Yes! The Grove Park!
    Admittedly, it's even better when you can drink wine by the huge fire place before the gingerbread jazz, but it still feels so seasonal and warm-fuzzy that it really is hard to pass up.
    Asheville has a zillion amazing Christmas season activities... Most involve walking and standing lol
  • Shoes. I wander around in flip flops. Even dug out my pleather ones for when I want to feel fancy.
  • Filter and bothering to get dressed most days. I get up, shower, put on new pjs. Why? because it is comfortable. Although tomorrow I have my last OB appt. :-/ So I suppose I will have to get dressed.

    This. Doesn't matter how cold it is either.

    I also have to second dignity and any semblance of a healthy diet. I've gained how much? Wait wait, don't care. Pass the pie.

    I had to give up walking the dog too unless DH is with me. If he poops near the curb I was able to go into the road and that gave me about 6 inches less that I had to reach down but better to leave it for DH to do.

  • I gave up on my hair months ago, buns since hot flashes in summer.
    I only wear flats that can slip on
    I have given up picking up anything that falls
    Gave up under wire but not bras yet boobs are way to big to not be contain
  • Putting on socks, undies, pants and shoes. Sweet hubby has to do it for me unless I want to struggle like a fool for 15 mins. Lifting anything at this point, leaving it all to DH!
  • Definitely shaving. I have one of my girls paint my toe nails and assist me with putting on tennis shoes.
    G 12.04 | E 11.06 | D 11.08  | H 12.09 | R 11.14 | Expecting #6 2.16.18.



  • Clipping my toe nails. I just sucked it up and asked DH to do it. He laughed *sigh*
    Sleep. Its not gonna happen so why fight it?
    Keeping up with someone while walking. Whatever, just go. Ill be there in a minute.
    Also climbing up the stairs. Ill use the elevator to go up. Going down doesnt hurt.

  • Checking for panty lines
  • Being any sorta attractive.  I gave up jeans bout as soon as morning sickness hit and I dunno if I'll ever take them back (;
    But I'll tell you, I'm hell bent on getting christmas lights up this year.

  • Yeah panty liners are out. I just change my underware often! Also gave up wearing anything but sneakers. Whatever they fit!
  • Doing anything at work... I will clean up at home and do stuff around the house but that takes up all my energy. I can't even stand to be at work any more. 2 more weeks and I'm out.
  • Ditto on work. Took leave a week and a half early. Also I'm giving myself until Sunday to be productive and finish any chores then I'm done. Parking it on the couch and not moving until this little bigger decides he is ready to come out after that. Due date is Dec 7th so I'm hoping won't be too much longer after the weekend.
  • You girls are so silly! I'm on baby #5 and still do all these things....except shaving I gave that up along time ago lol
  • I'm pretty sure I'd leave wet spots on my office chair if I didn't wear panty liners. I don't know how you guys go without!
  • Razors
    Walking the dog (we have a backyard so he does fine)
    Pants
    Shoes that tie

    Excited to say this about work but I am sticking it out until the bitter end unless my OB says differently...
    D14 November, because I am finally not on mobile, how I feel in 3rd tri:

  • I have never worn a panty liner ever. I just love to snail trail all my panties.

    Panties.

    I'm with you on this, but I think it's because we both refuse to give up our thongs.
  • You girls are so silly! I'm on baby #5 and still do all these things....except shaving I gave that up along time ago lol

    Well bully for you.

    There a panty liners for thongs! I've been using them in my regular underwear because I was too lazy to get more regular ones when I ran out eons ago. #truth

  • @MissChristineMarie‌ I went with walmart boy shorts. I don't care if they get all gross, they were like 3/$7. Granny panties give me a wedgie. I've got a gigantic Kim K sized ass though (before they airbrush out her cellulite) so it kind of scoffs at anything besides thongs and boy shorts.
  • I specifically bought huge granny panties a month ago and those don't even fit anymore...

    I gave up on walking the dog a long time ago due to SPD and she still resents me for it.
