My pants won't button anymore but I'm still not big enough for maternity clothes so I feel like I'm really struggling with what to wear. But, since I'm short, I'll pop out soon enough and be huge so I need to enjoy this stage.
I think I left my pants unbuttoned and wore long shirts at that stage.
I've been unbuttoning them but zipping them up still. Maybe I should just stop that? I actually really like the belly band so I should use it more.

I wore maternity jeans monday and tuesday and felt like a fraud. Yesterday I wore low rise and was good all day. Today I am wearing my low rise from express and my god they are so tight. I already unbuttoned them and still I can feel them constricting me.
It is a horse and pony show here today. A huge local company is unveiling a room they created here. Local people, you will probably see it in the paper or on the news.
H is dropping of his sperm sample at the RE for the initial testing this morning. I am so anxious to get the results which should hopefully be available later today.
It feels like fall here today, I am so not ready for summer to be over.
Sending positive thoughts your way. I remember getting the phone call with our results. It is great to be able to formulate a plan and move forward. Hugs to you! IF sucks!
Finally got a call for an interview for the interal position I applied for almost a month ago! I was beginning to lose hope, although I knew that hadn't interviewed anyone yet. Cross your fingers (on Tuesday). If I get this position, it would be almost 10K more a year, and we desperately need that!
Good luck! I'm also going through an internal job promotion process. Just waiting to hear when round 1 interviews will be. The waiting is the worst part!

I bought a pair of the dreaded demi panel jeans because all of my ae jeggings are cutting me in half. But only some of my shirts are long enough to reliably cover the panel! Ack. I'm trying to wear dresses 3-4 days per week for a little while longer because they have room for my chub.
I liked the Old Navy pixie pants with the side panel. They worked really well for me from awkward bloated stage until 20ish weeks. Now I'm all about the full panel and leggings!
Waiting for the last draw now. Surprisingly, I'm not too hungry. Just soooooo very tired. I planned to go into the office after this, but I'm considering WFH for the rest of the day. My couch sounds so inviting right now and nobody would be home. Hmmmm.
ETA: oh, duh. I just realized I haven't had a coffee yet today. No wonder I can't keep my eyes open. This is worst than the lack of food!
I just had my first prenatal appointment. It was with the nurse practitioner at my OB's office, to get a medical history and go over basics. I was annoyed that I had to go (and don't get a dating u/s until my first OB appointment in 4 weeks!) but it was actually really lovely. She spared me the detailed "how to" of pregnancy and we just chatted about all sorts of things baby, kids, and work, and I was smiling by the time I left. It left me missing my midwives a little bit, but I know that being with this OB is the best decision I can make medically speaking. After this pregnancy, I think I'll try to schedule my annuals with her instead, though.
I'm in parent orientation for DS's preschool and trying really hard not to cry again. I dropped DS off for meet the teacher and he ran right in with no hug or "bye bye". Tears round 1. Then during the welcome prayer (we aren't religious but it's a church preschool) the director thanked God for "the teachers who are ready to love these kids. Tears round 2.

I am at my sister's house today to babysit my niece bc her daycare is closed and my sister and BIL have to work. OMG, their house is a pigsty. I am not a neat person - my house can be untidy at times (and some ppl would be shocked at the amount of pet hair and dirt we tolerate, but we are living through a renovation), but seriously. I kind of want to pip, but that would be horrible right?
DD went back to school today and this is my last childcare-free week of the summer. Our new nanny starts next week, woo-hoo! I would pat myself on the back for making to through the last 9 weeks, except that we had a one-week temp nanny cancellation and I'm way behind on my work, so my cobble-it-together-in-August plan obviously didn't work. And on the spending-time-with-my-kids front, I now have one ER visit under my belt.

That's awesome you had such a great appointment. My first (and last) prenatal appt at my first drs office was absolutely terrible. DD was a surprise, and the nurse practitioner kept asking if we had thought about abortion. H and I were just floored. We left, and never went back.
OMG, how awful! I am glad you found someone better. I was nervous having never met her before, so I was really happy with today's outcome.

Probably, although I would want to, lol.
I mean we have dog hair and dust, but our house is tidy. I never understand people who have stuff like everywhere. That gives me the heebie jeebies.
chickens987 I say don't post only bc I'm sure i'll see the picture and think, ummmm, so my house is worse......lol.
It would be hard to be worse. There is an infestation of fruit flies in the kitchen, by the front stairs are two 1/2 full takeout cups - one coffee, one soda, clothes EVERYWHERE. one IKEA bag full and one (scratch that, 2) of those collapsible hampers in the living room alone. I am having serious anxiety. At least my mom loaded the dishwasher so most of the fruit flies scattered.
Hugs longtimenopost, the end of pregnancy is so, so hard. DD1 had IUGR and I was constantly nervous something had happened to her if my kick counts weren't perfect. I was so relieved when it was time to head to the hospital. I hope that she is in your arms very soon!

I'm feeling kind of mopey. Tuesday was DD's first real preschool day and I went into work late so I could drop her off, and it was fun for me to see the other kids' parents and send her off into the classroom. But from now on, her daycare provider will drop off and pick up.
I'm so thankful we have this setup because otherwise preschool wouldn't be possible, but I'm feeling bad that I'm pretty much completely uninvolved in the preschool process, and feeling like an outsider when all of the other SAH/PT working parents can chat with each other and be friendly on school mornings. Whomp whomp. Workdays need to be shorter to accommodate school hours!
