Re: Plus Size Mamma's check in 8/14/16
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. I got some things done around the house today and am just now (3 p.m.) considering a nap. I think I napped yesterday after only being up for like three hours.
3. Rants/Raves. Last night, we went to see a movie. We had a bunch of time between finishing dinner and wanting to go to the theater; so, we walked over to the Dick's Sporting store in the same plaza. In the store, my underwear completely fell down (still in my pants). It kept happening every time I took more than a few steps w/o reaching down my pants and pulling them up. I think that wearing everything under my growing belly is starting to be an issue and I'm going to have to give in and buy some maternity clothes ASAP.
4. What was your favorite TV show from the 90's? Friends (early) and Dawson's Creek (later).
I never got into Dawson's Creek for some reason.
I feel like crap! Maybe slightly better with the nausea not being so constant but now I have headaches too.
I'd have to go with Seinfeld. I mean....I still watch it almost daily!
My rant would be my weight and I'm so worried about clothes! Fall comes overnight here and I don't have anything that will fit. I also have no idea what/where/and how to buy maternity clothes. Do I wait until I'm freezing and go to target? I've been living in summer sun dresses and the thought of pants pushing on my stomach makes me want to cry. It's definitely my weight in general that's freaking me out. I gained over the last year (marriage and mc) and I am so extra uncomfortable in my body. The thought of adding a big belly to this makes me want to jump out of my skin.
My rant for the day? I woke up with some bites yesterday and thought it was just a couple mosquito bites from my walk Saturday. Later in the day I found more bites and by this morning there were 21 bites. All but 2 were under my clothes. They are more like spider bites than mosquitos. I want to burn all my clothes and bedding but I'll settle for hot water in the washer. I itch everywhere.
Favorite 90s show? I can't think of anything right now. Yay pregnancy brain!
2. How are you feeling? Good, I haven't really had many pregnancy symptoms besides heartburn and exhaustion
3. Rants/Raves I'm feeling awful about my body right now. I have this fat roll in my very lower abdomen that seemed to triple in size in the past few weeks. It didn't bother me before because it wasn't huge but now it's all I can see. I'm going on a girl's beach weekend this weekend with two super fit friends and just feel bad about it because I don't want to be in a bathing suit with the way I feel. And I just went to buy some new shorts and of course my huge thighs don't fit in to them so I have no idea what to wear all weekend. Ugh, I want to cry.
4. What was your favorite TV show from the 90's? Friends for sure...I still watch it.
2. I was feeling good but started puking this morning. I've not puked before and I feel like crap and I'm freezing so I think I've got a little bug. Damn. So I took a bath and napped but I'll need to go back to work tomorrow.
3. Rants/Raves we've had to rethink our whole house. We have an older home so there is no "master bedroom" so our master is becoming the guest room. the guest is becoming the master, the office is becoming the nursery, the office is going in the storage room. so we cleaned out the storage room this weekend! I was really proud of Hubs (he's kind of a pack rat) because he got rid of a bunch of stuff to make room for baby! yay
2. How are you feeling? Overall I'm feeling much more human. I still struggle with fatigue, but it's much better.
3. Rants/Raves My rant is maternity clothes shopping. So here in Canada we have so few options for Plus Size mat clothes. It's pathetic. I bought most of my mat clothes last time from Motherhood. So I went there this weekend to see if I could find ANYTHING summer on clearance to get me through since everything is starting to get tight and it's too hot to wear my old maternity pants. Turns out the changes the sizing and the 1X is HUGE, but the XL is too small. Seriously? Apparently they are changing sizes to make them more true to size or whatever, but I have to wait for the fall stuff to arrive for the new sizes. I bought a belly band for the meantime, but it's not the same.

2. How are you feeling?
A lot of indigestion/gas...
So many aches and pains. I really want to go to the Chiro but I'm terrified of hurting the baby. And the one I goto (like a block from my office) doesn't have any extra pregnancy certification... So that scares me too. I'm one of those people that puts all there tension (plus oober overweight and out of shape) into my muscles and joints.
3. Rants/Raves
Next week wil suck, DH is out of town for 3 days for work. I'm tired just thinking about it.
Just ordered maternity jeans from Walmart ... Hoping they fit. If not ugh I'm not sure. I need like a 2x (I like softer matarial jeans) with a full band. I wanted cheap but I may have to spend more if these are a fail. Hoping the tshirts work too! My clothes are getting tight!!!
4. What was your favorite TV show from the 90's?
I can't think of anything...
Ditto this 100%. Luckily I work with a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancy and post natal adjustments. I get adjusted at least every other week and it really helps. Ask around and see if a friend or co-worker knows someone. You can also ask your regular chiro for a recommendation too.

My OB office offered no opinions.
I'm feeling ok. I have other stressors going on in my life which is causing me to eat and now that I'm not nauseous, I'm gaining weight faster which is scaring me. I'm nervous what they will say at my next appt.
I'm going home to visit some family with DD tomorrow.
I loved a lot of the Nickelodeon cartoons - I was a kid growing up in the 90s.
