    I tried on all my shorts to find I can't button them. We are going on a cruise after Christmas. I need shorts! So all weekend I spent scouring every store I could think of trying to find some. Not an easy task this time of year, up here.
    If you ladies happen to be out shopping, would you take a look for me to see if shorts, capris & flip flops are easier to come by down there? And where you saw them? Thanks! I'll be in the area the 20th-25th.

     

    Have you checked around at thrift stores?  Maybe it's b/c we are in FL but I found a TON of mat. shorts here.  Maybe enough people have donated their summer pregnancy wear? 

  • Well, I am definitely showing to my family that knows and I have been wearing my maternity pants with my belly band for comfort.  I didn't have ANY morning sickness with MacKenzie, but I am nauseous all the time with this one.  My husband hopes this is the sign we will have a boy this time :P.   I also can barely keep my eyes open all day long.  I know I was tired last pregnancy, but it was during the summer.  I wasn't working at the time and I wasn't chasing around after a little baby.  I don't think my H realizes what it feels like to feel this tired all the time because he seems to get frustrated with the fact that I fall asleep before MacKenzie is even in bed some nights.  He's being great, but I know he gets tired too after work.

    I am very ready for my first appointment next week and plan on telling work about my condition when we get back from Christmas break.  Won't affect this school year, but next year, so I am sure it will be fine.

    I was at a Pea in the Pod last Friday and they had a ton of shorts and capris.  The only problem is a Pea in the Pod is so effing expensive : 

    Motherhood had a ton of shorts this past weekend when I was there (at Countryside Mall) and one clearance.  Target has some jean shorts at regular price.  And ditto the consignment stores.  A lot of my maternity clothes have come from the thrift/consignment stores.  Old Navy for flip flops.

  • we have a scheduled c section date! 2/2/12!! Very excited!
  • Brett just got over a terrible virus and Emma has the sniffles. But I am looking forward to them being happy and healthy by the end of this week because we are all going on a one week cruise on the NCL Epic. I know it is going to be a fantastic vacation, but until we are all packed up I am gonna be stressing out this week!

    Great, thanks! I'll check out all these suggestions. Old Navy up here didn't have any flip flops. I'll be sure to look when I'm down there.
    Now, which mall in the Tampa area should I go to?

    Not much new to report. Over the weekend I have decided that it does not matter what I eat, I will get heartburn.  Anyone have any tips/tricks that worked really well for kicking it to the curb quickly? I joked to H that if what they say is true about sounds babies hear in the womb soothing them once they are born, she will only be soothed by belches, yuck!

     For me I had it the whole time I was pregnant and the only things I could do was take tums just to help it a little, eat bland food and elevate my head higher when I went to sleep. Eventually I took the pepcid ac when it got worse towards the end of my pregnancy and that did nothing for it. 

    But I did have a baby with a lot of hair and it was past her neck in the back so, I'm thinking she had hair for awhile. lol

     

    Charlotte is just so much fun, we got her a sit and push toy so she could stand and push it which she loves. She also thinks dogs are hilarious bc she laughs so hard when she meets one, it's really cute.

    We're finally getting some family holiday photos tomorrow! And she met Santa last week-didn't mind him one bit. 

  • isaacs doing great, eating well, gaining wait, and the coos and smiles are starting- best thing in the world!!!

  • With only 46 days left, I am starting to panic a bit.  We got a ton of stuff from my showers, but we still need the crib, mattress, bedding, changing pad... Eek!  I'm waiting a couple more weeks to get my completion discount from Amazon and BRU, but I feel like I'm running out of time.  I keep telling myself that the baby doesn't need all that stuff immediately, so we should be ok...right?? :-P

    Being team green was no problem up until these past few weeks.  I am getting so excited/impatient to know if we are having a boy or girl.  I love and hate the anticipation all at the same time.  My husband swears we are having a girl and I swear we are having a boy, so it makes it even more fun/difficult to wait.  We are trying to think of a nice wager to see who is right...any ideas?

  • We are at the point where we go to the OB every 2 weeks.  This week we met with one of the midwives that we hadn't met yet.  Baby is definitely head down and I feel like I have to pee every 30 minutes between him moving around and feeling like he is laying on my bladder.  Hoping to finish the nursery this month.
