I love it @jengibre_zorro! I gave up on jeans - they may fit but I refuse to even try them on because I'm pretty sure I'm just going to look like a stuffed sausage. Tights for life.
I didn't feel good last night and skipped dinner and then I was super hungry so I ate a HUGE breakfast. I now regret that bc I am bloated and sitting in one giant fart cloud at my work desk hoping NO ONE comes into my cubicle

TTC #2 since January 2018
Baby #1 DD Born 8/25/2016 BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
I bought maternity clothes like 5 minutes after I found out I was pregnant. 2 pairs of work pants, jeans, a few t-shirts, and some tops for work. Oh and a camo hoodie.
I don't need to wear them yet or anything, and I'm afraid to take the tags off of them (you know, what it's and all) so they're just sitting in my closet hiding.
I guilted DH into picking up garbage fast food at like 8:30 last night. I was starving and it was the only thing that didn’t sound gross but it was cold so I didn’t want to go pick it up. Gotta love that man.
I've been wearing the same pair of leggings for 3 days. They aren't even that comfortable since they are supposed to be high waisted and I have them rolled down, I am just too tired to put on new ones.
I work in IT and my boss handed me a box and said "here see if you can get this working on our network". Its a PS4. Hell yes I will see if it works for the rest of the day no problem. Now cracked the door to my office and I hope no one needs me for anything important.
My coworker brought home made butter tarts to our staff meeting and I ate two!! I work with 5 dudes (no ladies) so I'm sure they judged me hard LOL I also work from home so we only see each other once a week for this meeting.

Living on dry shampoo and leggings. Absolutely no shame.
I ate ate hotdogs for breakfast. Mashed potatoes and Girl Scout cookies for lunch. Apparently eating like crap keeps my MS away. Again. Absolutely. No. Shame.
@chyvie Omg butter tarts--get in my belly! I didn't know what they were until I married a Canadian, but I've eaten enough of them since then to make up for lost time.
I wear my shirt untucked at work so I can cover up the fact that they are unbuttoned. The bloating has started. I'm probably going to get a belly band so I can wear them unzipped.
@hellopartyof5 I feel you on the not showering. Washing my hair seems like a chore. So, dry shampoo and ponytail it is!
I also, have eaten 2 blocks of cheese in 4 days. I usually hate dairy, but now I can't get enough
@DunkinDecaf we had m&m pancakes for breakfast too!!!

@kosmo86 I love coffee. Love love love it! But with DS it all of a sudden tasted like it had been on the burner for days. All coffee (except super froofy coffee drinks that after really coffee, and even then, meh.) I kept trying through the pregnancy, no luck. But I'm back to loving it again... I don't really want to give it up again. But a friend of mine started hating coffee during her pregnancy - its been 6 years and she still is uninterested. But she didn't care that much to begin with...
@pumpkinpancake that was me yesterday because I had my appointment! Lol
At one point I couldn't make it through the day without my morning coffee and when I got pregnant with DS I couldn't stand the taste of it early on. I was convinced something was wrong with my coffee pot! Drove my SO nuts lol it was one of the first signs I was pregnant. Eventually I could stomach it again and thankfully it seems to be ok so far with this pregnancy.
I have peed on more sticks since Tuesday than I did with my last two pregnancies combined. And I will POAS every day til this little bean gets confirmed at my appt 3/19.
I am sure I will get flamed for this but Mom guilt already. I want this baby and will love the heck out of it, but I don't feel like I want it as badly as I should. Took us over 5 years to conceive so I should be doing backflips. Ugh I am sure this just stems from hormones and panic of doing every thing right when I know that is impossible.
@SweetSweetTooth What is as badly as you should? Can you quantify that for me? No, you can't. Because it's a ridiculous standard... you physically and emotionally cannot be ecstatic 24/7. You just can't maintain that. Are you excited? Did you want the baby? The you're good. Besides, it's still theoretical now. Other than telling yourself you're pregnant, do you really know? There's no kicks or giant belly yet. It's like being thrilled about a movie that will come out next year. You're happy, but only when you think about it. And you don't think about it 24/7 because life. And if it's a "should we have done this? Are we really ready?" feeling, I had that up to labor with DS. That's normal for any major life change. So don't beat yourself up, give yourself some slack.

I bought chocolate pudding and a graham cracker crust to make pie last night. It’s made with milk, so its healthy, right?

I'm having Tagalongs for lunch (the gs cookies.) I just posted only 2, but it's only 10:45 here so it's definitely going to be more than 2.
I don't think I like coffee anymore! I've drank decaf for the last 2 years and today I wanted nothing to do with it.
BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
Also, I don't think I've worn real jeans in two years. I'm half ashamed and half proud. Jeggings, leggings, and maxis for the win!

On the otherhand, my best friend ordered a coffee with his lunch and it smelled delicious. And I don’t usually drink coffee...
