How was everyone's Thanksgiving/weekend? Any fun Black Friday shopping for baby?

I got clothes--pants that actually accommodate the afternoon bloat. It's bad, people. In the morning I'm all good and by lunch I'm trying to be sneaky about loosening my pants. The nausea is also creeping up and I'm very nervous about teaching while feeling crappy.

On the bright side, 3 weeks til Christmas break!

Got some jeans at gap for 30 dollars and leggings for 10 each in brown and black for myself. Baby got a couple of outfits off clearance at bru and a box of diapers and wipes.

Random: I am a cranky bear this morning and am going to hurt one if my freshmen students before end of day! They still have no concept of time mngmt and when given work time cannot keep their mouths shut and be on task.

It's not fun. This is my first day back at work since the morning sickness hit. I'm in a portable, so I just have to try and convince my brain I don't need to puke because I'm nowhere near a bathroom anyways. Lots of deep breaths and mints and gum.

Thanksgiving was good, The weekend wasn't long enough, and I'm not ready to be back at work.

I'm getting to the super uncomfortable part of pregnancy I think. I feel huge, and gross, and just want to wear pajamas and not work clothes. Even my maternity clothes feel tight, even though they don't look too tight. Maybe my SKIN is just tight... I don't know... I'm just ready to be done. 4 more weeks to go till christmas break, 7 more till baby.
That seems like too long all around.

I'm guessing you mean leggings? I'm not jssy, but I got mine at Gap (maternity leggings) in black and grey and I love them. I wore them in between my first pregnancy and this one as well. They're super comfortable and sit below the bump...I carried low with Max and the leggings were all I could wear the last two weeks.

I had some spotting this morning and now I'm cramping a bit. Trying not to panic.

In other news, a poster from October 2012 with TWINS is pregnant again. OMG

Oh esquire, maybe this is where I should shamefully tell you guys that I've been reading the Teen Moms board on babycentre.

www.whattoexpect.com/forums/june-2013-babies/topic/husband-refuses-me-to-breast-feed.html

"So my Husband and I are neck to neck about breast feeding when baby is born. We are from two different cultures and he says his family doesn't breast feed. My family does its like a right of passage and encouraged. We are an interracial couple his white am black. His mum insists I don't breast feed too. I have stood my ground but they are still in conflict. I invited my husband to the maternity unit where they were educating about What is good about breast feeding. He started to change his mind but says I can only do it for 1month. I still insist on doing it 6months as midwife advised. What do you think ladies? Anyone in this dilemma? "

What culture doesn't believe in breast feeding?

Me too lol

I am consistently amazed by how little women know about their own bodies. I had a good 15 minute argument with my college roommate, who has been on BC for ten years, about how the pill actually works. She had no idea.

Leggings? At gap...but they have gone up in price since Friday. I have a couple of more form-fitting dresses for Christmas parties and are hoping they do the trick but the reveiws on gap.com are not very favorable looking now

I bought a bunch of maternity clothes from the gap sale this weekend. Love that jeans were $30! Sad that they were sold out of the leggings in my size. I also bought an ergo carrier, and the Kate Spade Stevie diaper bag. I am officially not allowed to do more shopping today.

I'm really sick of puking when I brushing my teeth.

Hope it's nothing! Call your OB if you're worried, but lots of people have spotting/cramping while pregnant.

And as to the one with twins and is pregnant again... :-|
