@triplejplus1 - ain't that the truth! that's how I've felt since Friday. Of course I was terrified at first but I prayed about it and just knew it would all work out for the better! And as long as he is happy, that's all that matters. I couldn't stand to see him dreading waking up everyday anymore, broke my heart!
@crossfitbabybump God works in mysterious ways! It is sometimes terrifying to go through but you know in the end things happen for a reason that we don't know yet. So happy for you all.
@crossfitbabybump congrats! Such amazing news for you & your family!
I come in late to a lot of conversations & don’t tend to comment much as I feel it would be repetitive, but just wanted to say that it’s so nice that the group is open minded & super supportive of each other. You all rock!
Ladies...LADIES!!! I just found the BEST maternity belt!! It's supportive, soft and flexible so you can sit!! Wish I had this last time. I thought I was doomed to terrible belts! Does this link work? It's the LucyVee belt from Amazon.
It was only $20 and comes in this sweet, little package!
Uuugggghhhh I love snow. But were supposed to get 5-15cm today/overnight. I am in the snowbelt in my province, and not looking forward to that much for our first snowfall. It's also supposed to drop to -21...WTH. But, my 7yo is thrilled, he gets $2 for shovelling the driveway.
It's November 9th and I'm already sick of dressing my toddler in winter gear. It. Is. Exhausting. And it makes me feel like never leaving the house with him. Which of course I have to or I'll go completely stir crazy. But I'm seriously dreading doing this in January/February when I'll be the size of a whale. I'm already so winded getting him and myself ready!!
Tried the KT tape today before Disneyland this weekend since I waited too late to find a maternity belt and omg. It’s amazing. My hip has been killing me for two days and ten minutes with the tape today and it stopped hurting. We also taped my belly up and I have so much more support. And then a strip across my lower back. I wish I had tried this months ago.
@mdfarmchick Do you think KT tape would help with the heaviness feeling while running? Would it come off while sweating as I sweat like a crazy person while working out? I don't really even have a bump yet but I can tell in my last couple runs I am starting to feel the heaviness and I know it'l l just get worse.
If KT tape wouldn't work, anyone have suggestions on workout belly bands?
@npkat it would definitely help with that! And it’s made for athletes originally so I don’t think it would be affected by sweat. I would definitely try it. Just buy the brand name to start because some of my Mom friends who used it and recommended it to me said it can cause dry patches of skin.
Here’s the link for what I found as far as how to tape while pregnant:
Is anyone dealing with hip/low back pain? Mine is mainly on the left side and feels like super tight muscles and soreness. While massage and chiropractor have provided relief, but it's been short lived. I've also been stretching and used tiger balm, but the relief is super temporary. Any ideas?
FFTC: I'm wearing a blue/navy plaid top today and thought I was wearing navy pants with it. Around noon I realized that I'm actually wearing black pants. While I know from What Not to Wear that navy and black are both neutrals and can be worn together I feel like I made a fashion faux pas. This is what I get for getting dressed in the dark.

@day38 the posters above your post talking about kinesio tape are getting relief from that. You could check with your chiropractor if they offer it as a service. My DH is a chiro and is certified in rock tape and so is my sister/ a lot of chiropractors will do it.
@npkat I’ve showered with KT Tape on, so you should be fine. When I worked in a PT office they’d tape people and it would stay on for several days to a week.
TB is NOT my friend. It’s so bad that if I didn’t love you guys I would give up and call it quits. The app didn’t work all day and it wouldn’t open up on my browser either until JUST now. Come onnn, get it together already!
Just made my appointment for my glucose tolerance test. At 7:30AM. The day after I eat my weight in food on Thanksgiving. I'm super excited and can't wait to drink the super sugary drink and sit for an hour (not).
A woman at work just stopped me in the hall to ask how I've been feeling. I went through my normal spiel saying I've really felt pretty good, and I'm very thankful to have had it easy so far since so many women don't. Her response? "Well you still have a long way to go. Just you wait." Ummm thanks?

SHM. Why do people have to be such jerks? Just why.
Congrats on feeling pretty good, and I hope it continues for the rest of your pregnancy!
@stlbuckeye132 I hate that people always try to rain on your parade (not you specifically, just a general "you"). Any time I say anything about an issue with one of my kids now at work this one lady always says "oh just you wait, they're little now so they have little problems but as they get bigger they have bigger problems". Gee thanks for trying to scare me for the future. Glad you're feeling good and don't worry about her!
@stlbuckeye132 Don't worry about her. My second pregnancy I felt 99% the entire time. It's possible, and happens. People just want to be downers. Next time tell her you feel great now, and don't need negative opinions.
@justkeeptrying I am right there with you! I'm realizing we're just not going to have a decision on names until we meet the baby. We're not finding out the sex so trying to come up with both boy and girl names only adds to the stress!

Attempt to put snoogle case back on pillow.... fail. 5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 atleast five times or until you are so exhausted you feel like you might pass out. 6.
