I just sent an email to my boss with a novel's worth of doctor's appts and PTO requests.... oops.
But my Ob's office suggested I schedule my next several upcoming appts if I want specific times (eg, I try to be in and out before 10 so I only have to be a little late to work). So I'm scheduled through then end of July. I start with every two week appts in July (as opposed to every 4 weeks now). That seems crazy to me.
Also, what I really need in my life right now, and I think moving forward, is ridiculously soft maternity leggings/lounge pants. I have two pairs of leggings, one from Destination Maternity and one from Old Navy, but neither one is really soft.
STMs: after giving birth: will I want full panel maternity wear for around the hospital and going home, or will the panel bother the crap out of me if I have a csection?
@jena333-2 My first appointment with the OB I scheduled every single one through a week after my due date. 15 appointments. I think my supervisor appreciated it even if it took us a good 1/2 hour to get them all in her OUTS book. I also go every two weeks starting in July and then every week starting mid August... I actually have four appointments in August because of how the days fall. Eek!
@jena333-2 maternity wear: i think it's all personal preference, but either high or super low, because you won't want it rubbing on your incision. You'll probably walk around naked in your house for the first few weeks, because airing it out and keeping it dry helps with the healing process. I lived in my mesh panties from the hospital and maternity yoga pants for the first three months.
I had so many plans for things I needed to accomplish today. I've done approximately 10% of it. I need to hit that "nesting" phase early because the room that is going to be the nursery is still what I refer to as "the room from hell" because it's where all the packed boxes from moving in are still sitting. Ugh
Got stuck in a detour and a crap ton of traffic. Stopped at the first place with a public restroom. I hate using the bathroom and not buying something, and hey, it was Dunkin Donuts.
young woman behind the counter:How many months are you?! Me: Five now Her: Just five? But you look so big!!

She needs to be cut! What the heck is the matter with people?!
My SO's mom (who I literally see at least once a week, sometimes more) commented yesterday that every time she sees me I just get bigger and bigger and bigger. It's like, gee.... thanks.
I can get two of those stretchy car seat canopy/nursing scarf things for $25 after shipping with a code I have... worth it? They're normally $50/each on this particular website. I've always used a Muslim swaddle blanket, but these seem so cute and convenient....

Dang.. doesn't she realize that's going to happen when you're growing a human being inside of you!?

Isn't...isn't that just what happens at this part of pregnancy? Should that surprise her?
@awildrose I say go for it! Also, are you able to share this website and secret code? I remember seeing something like this on Shark Tank and made a mental not that I wanted on when I got pregnant. Now I can't remember...
I'm up at midnight because, even though I am freaking exhausted, I could of stop thinking about spaghetti. So, midnight spaghetti it is. Then, hopefully, my cravings and this baby will let me sleep.
I finally got some rest after my long 17+ hour travel day. I honestly don't want to make these long trips with a baby or toddler. Can we just invent some kind of teleportation method already?

Why can't I find a dress to wear to a wedding next week?
I recently was looking to see if Rent the Runway offered maternity (they don't from what I could find) but I did stumble across this site that's similar and maybe you'll have luck through them?
***Lurking from F17*** I hope you don't mind the intrusion, I pop in here to peek on a former bmb buddy, but I noticed you guys use spoilers to put your pictures in and I'm curious to why you do that?

It helps for the mobile friends. The pictures can take a long time to load on mobile, so adding the spoiler prevents them from having to load it. Also we don't mind at all
Thanks @DPandMB!! That makes sense. I wish we did that for at least the ultrasound thread, my phone took forever loading all those, and sometimes I would give up. I was thinking maybe it kept "the bump" from being able to take those photos and use them for whatever purpose they give in the terms lol
I've wanted it to be naptime almost since we woke up this morning. Oh, and the switch to colostrum has happened now. I'm curious if DS will want to keep nursing with the change.
