    #2 If Jack in the Box was on the right side of the road on my drive home, I would probably stop multiple times a week for curly fries for my drive home. As it is though, I would have to do a U-turn to get to it and that's just too much effort.

    I have absolutely no desire to tell anyone at work I am expecting. I've started wearing maternity pants (I tried regular jeans with the belly band yesterday and felt and looked like sausage stuffed in casing). Aside from my boss and 2 coworkers who noticed me sick, I don't want to tell anyone else. If they have the balls to ask that's on them.

    ETA this maybe sounds like I am not excited to be pregnant, I totally am and we have told all friends, family I am just not close with anyone at work to tell.

    @gingermama46 same. I don't see my boss ever and he only even checks in with me once every other month, maybe. I could probably keep this going into June or even July if I wanted to. Unfortunately, due to schooling issues for DS, I need to tell them at the latest by the end of April. I don't even want to tell acquaintences and not-close friends.

    @gingermama46 I totally know how you feel! I felt super swkward in my previous pregnancies- for one I just wasn't close with anyone and the second, I was brand new. And now it's weird bc of covid and we're all working from home so its not like my belly can speak for itself. 

    I did tell one coworker im close to bc we were joking about how our coworkers newborn is such a great sleeper (and my two were terrible sleepers) and it just kinda came out that ill probably have another crappg sleeper 😂😩. But telling everyone else feels awkward now.

    @gingermama46 I don't really feel like telling anyone either. I just don't like talking about myself or private stuff with much of anyone. However, it's starting to get somewhat obvious depending on what clothes I wear and how big a lunch I had. 😂

    @chindimples04 That's hilarious! Let them know you appreciated the thought next time. 😊 Do you order the same thing every time? My husband is known at one of our local places because he almost always gets wings.

    @noprobalo I always order online so when I picked up, I just say online order for “insert real name here”. Although, I have been getting the same thing lately.

    Some days I wish I could just sleep all day so I could not feel the nausea 😴 but of course I can’t and I would miss my kiddos and DH. I’m just so ready to feel better. 13 weeks today and still was super nauseous all day and puked twice in the evening but my husband and mom think I seem like I’m getting better so I guess I’ll take that as a positive sign I must be getting closer. This extreme N/V is like 75 percent of the reason I am ok with my husband getting a vasectomy when this baby is born. I always wanted a ton of kids but I can’t possibly take care of 3 kids all within 3 years of each other while feeling this sick. Unless we waited until they are all in elementary school but by then we will be older than we’d prefer to have a baby. Oh well- we are blessed to have 3 kiddos here Lord willing so I really can’t complain! Just had to rant about this N/V somewhere and figured this thread would be appropriate lol my SIL has had a very easy pregnancy beyond some 3rd trimester heartburn and back pain and she’s so over being pregnant even still and she was like “I really shouldn’t complain when there’s people like you who are constantly sick” I’m like yeah don’t get me started 🤣

    @mac-n-cheese I've seriously bought nothing and I need to start bc I gave away all the NB-9 month clothes from my previous kids 😩. Why did I do that?!

    @mac-n-cheese I don’t blame you- baby clothes are so fun! My husband already knows it’s going to be a problem if this baby is a girl bc I’ll go on a shopping frenzy🤣 if it’s a boy I cannot justify any purchases because I have plenty of clothes from our first two 😬

    @mac-n-cheese I bought a ton of gender neutral newborn size clothes, although we should find out the sex in a few weeks. We didn’t get any neutral clothes with DD so I figured they’d be worth having either way. I forgot how small they are!!

    @vampirina I did for most all of mine too and then randomly decided to hoard 2T/3T. Well I actually kept most all of it but I left it all at my ex-husbands house when I left him 🙊
    @momofmiracles31889 I am also feel having a girl warrants a shopping spree. I’m glad you saved your boy stuff. You either get to have fun shopping out delight in saving some cash!
    @grangerhp37 I got a few gender neutral ones too early on and then just went with my gut and started buying girl. It is shocking seeing preemie and NB sizes again; DD was 5 years ago and they just still look like doll sizes.
    @cait32 I’m an enabler. You will definitely need more variations in season. Agreed: sleepers are everything during those first few months. I have some outfits but mostly all causal tops bottoms if they are.

    I had this weird habit with DD of putting a sleeveless white onesie under all her clothes (unless it just didn’t logistically work).
    I’m also pretty picky with patterns and clothes in general so I’ll suffer all day through an item of clothing with all snaps if it looks nice.

    @cait32 I could think or worse problems. That sounds like my heaven. Purging the way you mentioned makes a lot of sense. How do you think you’ll go about doing it? I’ve had a lot of success on Mercari and did JBF a long time ago before I realized I could make so much more on my own.

    @mac-n-cheese definitely spent $120 at Once Upon a Child yesterday and have bought 9 other sleepers. I have to start fresh. Opposite sex and opposite seasons. Shucks. 🤣

    We are 100% done having biological children after this baby, but we are still open to adopting again down the road. So I’m gonna have a hard time deciding whether or not to save all clothes or start passing them on/consigning. I do have a strict one bin per size per gender policy though, but if this is a girl it will double the amount of bins we have lol. I think we probably will save them but if we have a close friend or family member who wants to use them let them borrow. We’ve already done that some with one of my local friends- she had a baby boy 2 months before me so they’ve borrowed a lot of clothes from our first DS until our DS2 needs them. I just figure they get so light use especially that first year why not save someone else some money! Plus it’s a friend who takes great care of the clothes, we once made the mistake of loaning to friends who didn’t 😬 I shop at JBF a lot and get great deals and have also gotten free hand me downs from family and friends so I can’t complain too much. I have bought some stuff new- if it’s a favorite I just don’t ever loan it out 🤣

    Anyone else feel like throat punching their spouse? Pleeeease tell me I’m not alone here.. it will help make me feel like not such an ass. But my goodness. I’m still waiting it out for a few weeks until I can take my Zoloft and praying that helps with these feelings as well. But lately I just really want to be alone. Like all the time. Even my poor DD noticed my crappy moods sometimes and I feel terrible. Just moody.. sooooo moody.

    @k_rn21 you are not alone. Things have gotten pretty bad around here some days. We are seeing a therapist together for the first time on Tuesday. Sometimes I just want space to myself and this is not being understood. 
    I hope it gets better for you. Remember to give yourself some compassion and not to blame yourself. Your feelings are valid.

    @mac-n-cheese thank you! That helps to hear but I’m sorry you’re going through it as well. It’s so bad and driving a wedge between us. He always says “I can’t wait until you’re not pregnant anymore” he doesn’t understand my depression. Says I have nothing to be depressed about. Blahhhh. It’s just been tough. 

    @cait32 omg thank you. I lose my temper with my daughter sometimes too and literally just told myself I just want a few nights in a hotel room ALONE. Yes I miss my daughter terribly when I’m away from her but I need my sanity right now. I don’t feel like I ever get any me time between work, parenting and home life. Like just give me a quiet empty room, a comfy bed, my books... and some food. Sounds like heaven right now.

    This is late but I know I will forget it by this Friday. I couldn’t sleep the other night so I spent too much online shopping for myself. Bought 3 nursing/pumping bras, 3 nursing/maternity tops, and some comfy pajamas, sweats, and shorts. I didn’t have enough decent comfy clothes for late pregnancy/after birth last time - everything was too small by then so I sized up.
