FFFC Feb 7

tdevlindrye · February 2020

Okay ladies, let’s hear ‘em!

Mine: I’m seriously considering getting a new job solely so I can qualify for a special enrollment period for health insurance.

tdevlindrye · February 2020

Also mine: I’m happy to be pregnant, but am dreading 9 months with no wine and no scotch.

kmalls · February 2020

Assuming all goes well, this will be my 4th baby. And I’ve still been spending most of my day googling “cramping at 6 weeks.” GET OFF THE INTERNET CRAZY LADY.

tdevlindrye · February 2020

@kmalls Same, girl. I KNOW google is the worst for pregnancy, especially this stage, but I can’t stay away from it either. Solidarity.

morethanamama · February 2020

@kmalls @tdevlindrye trying so hard not to Google! Last time I drove myself nuts.

My confession is that we are watching The Mandalorian and I don't understand the hype much yet. MH is a huge star wars fan but so far I don't find the show super interesting. I feel like the franchise should just end!

Also...I don't care much for Game Of Thrones and I've only watched 2 seasons!

MJDsquared · February 2020

Tonight I bought and peed on a digital test just because I didn't with DD and wanted to take one and this may be my last chance. 😂

tdevlindrye · February 2020

@MJDsquared omg what a great idea!

@morethanamama I can watch a Star Wars movie/show if it’s happening, but I don’t go out of my way to watch them. GoT is hard to think back on because I wasn’t impressed with the ending.

aztecash · February 2020

I’m only 5 weeks along but I’m wearing maternity jeans to Disneyland tomorrow. Holy bloat, Batman! Plus, I freakin love how comfy most maternity clothes are.

morethanamama · February 2020

@aztecash do you live in California or is it Disney World you're going to?

aztecash · February 2020

@morethanamama I’m a Cali native. I’d love to live somewhere cheaper, but then I’d have to deal with weather...

profmcgonagall · February 2020

DH has been gone for a week DS had 3 banana muffins yesterday because I got to the IDGAF stage. One week to go.

@aztecash super jealous about Disney! Hope it’s a great time!

Ha! Yes!! I had this with my first... but it took me a long time get over the maternity clothes stigma so it was skirts/dresses for my first trimester plus. 🤣 Then I finally caved and bought some maternity clothes and was blown away. I have a few maternity tops I never quit wearing! 😁

cmessamore · February 2020

I was supposed to be to work at 10:15, so my mom is coming at 9:30 to babysit. I just found out that I don’t have to be in until 11:15 now, but I’m not telling my mom and I’m going to get Starbucks and walk around target for an hour by myself. 😂

YUP. My thoughts exactly! I was born and raised in Europe and have lived in California for 10 years (because a US citizen last year!). It's so stupid $$$ but I absolutely love the weather and the lifestyle here. Smaller homes, but we can be outside year round! (Except when it's a "freezing" 50F like today 😂)

deaddahliah · February 2020

@aztecash jealous! I’m the same size I was when I delivered my son, none of my maternity stuff is going to fit me. And of course Motherhood Maternity’s physical stores are all closing. I loathe online clothing shopping. Ohh, that’s my FFFC!

I hate online clothing shopping. 9/10 things I try on look like trash on my body type. The process takes too damn long and if I need something to wear right away it’s useless.

kmalls · February 2020

@deaddahliah WHAT all the motherhood stores are closing? That sucks, I love going in there! And the maternity section at Target is teeny tiny in comparison.

deaddahliah · February 2020

@kmalls I think so. Now I’m doubting myself. I know my local store is closing and I read somewhere that they all were. Then again, probably read that they were all closing in the local mom group. And you know how those can be.

off to research...

baseballismyfavoriteseason · February 2020

@deaddahliah Nooooo I hadn’t heard that about MM! @kmalls I don’t think my local Target has ANY maternity section... 😭 I got some decent things from StitchFix maternity last time, but it’s not cheap!

kmalls · February 2020

Ok so what I found online is that 150+ stores are closing but not ALL stores are closing. I have two near me, and it looks like one is staying open. I’ll take it!

@klngnhp I actually order tons of maternity clothes through gap and old navy. Their sales are ridiculously good and you can load up on a lot for not much $$.

deaddahliah · February 2020

@kmalls thanks, got distracted by laundry and a toddler.

baseballismyfavoriteseason · February 2020

@kmalls ooh good point! I didn’t have good success with Old Navy last time, but I’ll try again.

morethanamama · February 2020

I was also bummed out last time that most places that have a maternity line don't carry it in store, which is super frustrating! My MIL had treated me to a few summer pieces which I will be able to re-use since my son was born in July. Our summer is usually past the beginning of October:)

I liked the Jessica Simpson stuff quite a bit! My Target has a decent section I think but I haven't looked at it in a while!

Smelh324 · February 2020

H&M actually has some pretty cute and affordable maternity clothes. I got a ton of essentials there last time around. I cant WAIT for my first scan for all the regular reasons but also so I can give in and get a couple stretchy items.

deaddahliah · February 2020

@Smelh324 I didn’t even think of H&M! We just got one a year or so ago and I keep forgetting about it.

morethanamama · February 2020

That's true! And their nursing tanks were so comfy and affordable!

cmessamore · February 2020

My 6month old has been up twice tonight (she’s teething) and one of my dogs has been up a bunch too (he’s annoying). DH is working a 24 hour shift (FF/Paramedic) so I’m solo. This Mama needs so sleep! First tri exhaustion is the worst!!

NamelessAria · February 2020

So I went and looked up the whole Motherhood Maternity store closing thing. Not all stores are closing but quite a few are. Apparently the one in my city is closing so that's slightly disappointing but I mostly shop online anyhow. There is a list here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/10/24/destination-maternity-store-closings-2019-list-motherhood-maternity/4073818002/

dolewhipper · February 2020

@aztecash we did Disney yesterday, Epcot! Spirit jerseys and oversized tshirts are my life right now.

My FFFC is Im pissed I can't drink any of the amazing bourbon I just got last month, and I won't be able to try the bourbon at a distillery next month that I've been so looking forward to trying. It's like my liquor cabinet is staring at me in the face, laughing.

smg2302 · February 2020

Oh no about the motherhood stores closing! It's hard in plus sized to find decent maternity clothes. I got rid of all of mine after the last pregnancy. I have been looking online, but I can't remember if I preferred the high band or the low band and can I get away with a capsule wardrobe based on the seasons of this pregnancy?

I missed Friday, so I'll confess something next time

Lisa3379 · February 2020

My FFFC: I couldn’t care less about awards shows. The Oscars, Grammys, any of them. Not interested at all.

cmessamore · February 2020

@Lisa3379 Same!!
