Hey rcentner, Do you suddenly feel exhausted? Like you did in the first trimester? I know I'm not sleeping well, but I haven't been sleeping well for a while. But within the last week I am sooo tired, I just want to nap all day. I guess he is taking all my energy to go through his growth spurts? Dh thinks I need to eat more, apparenlty I haven't been eating nearly enough calories per day, but I eat when I'm hungry

.

Also today I feel overwhelmingly impatient, I just feel a need to hold my little boy in my arms. I hope this is just a today feeling, because I still have another 7 weeks to go.


On a Exciting note, I woke up to this, this morning.

Cool! Never seen a baby emu so little (young)! How big are those things compared to a standard size baby chick at hatch?

I had to use two hands to pick it up, I would say maybe 6 times the size of a LF chick?

How close are maternity sizes to regular sizes? I've been having to wear my jeans unbuttoned and fastened with a hair elastic band. I've found some jeans on Ebay for good prices, but I wasn't sure how close the sizes were to what regular pants are. For example, if I can wear a size 8 (or medium) pant from Old Navy, would the same size work now?

I was told that you buy the same size you normally wear.. So far it has been true for me.

Thanks!!! For 99 cents a pair, if they don't fit, I can donate them to the thrift store.

Mine actually ended up being a size smaller, but I did lose weight in the beginning, and now have gained it back but all in the baby bump, so I would go with the size you currently wear.

You and me both...

Although I am enjoying having a reason to look fluffy though.
