Dress clothes I Get from Motherhood which is also sold at Kohls, for Jeans I buy at Old Navy, and for everyday shirts I get them at JC penney. I really like the Motherhood Clothes, and was excited to find them at Kohls, because they have good sales.

Hmmmm....not sure where my nearest one is....the largest city where I could find some good clothes would be Wenatchee (a 3 hour round trip). I'm not sure when I'll start showing but I'm guessing within a month??

All of this being sick to my stomach and queasy over everything has actually made me lose a little weight....I needed to lose 20lbs before I got pregnant.

Here is one of my Motherhood Outfits at 20 Weeks.

And here is Another Motherhood outfit at 19 weeks.

Our Closest stores for Maternity clothes are 2 hours away round trip, but we usually do our shopping when we visit my family 4 hours away round trip. Plus now that I know what sizes I wear from these brands, I can do my shopping online. Oh, also my MIL got me some maternity Shirts from Target, which are nice.

I lost 10 pounds in the first trimester, and just in the last month started gaining, so far I think I have gained 2 pounds back. Just wait for the cravings to start, oh and once I hit 16 weeks I would go from full to starving in a blink of an eye, lol.

Kerri, technically you should have them "toast" your sub, and that will nuke the baddies. But really, I don't think it's anything to get your umbilical tied in a knot about!

I've eaten subs during this pregnancy, and he/shes still kickin'! Like I said, take their word with a grain of salt. Otherwise you'll drive yourself batty during the pregnancy.

I got all my maternity clothes of craigslist...I posted a wanted add for my size maternity clothing. asked if anyone had any they didn't want a fortune for. there were a lot of adds for maternity clothes but the people wanted retail price and I wouldn't pay that to wear something for 5 months. I got many responses, one lady gave me a whole bag of pants for FREE!! and they fit great, turns out I went ot high school with her too, so it was a cool little reunion too. another lady sold me some real cheap (funny how the free ones I liked better). Then my mom in law bought me a few shirts for christmas, but they are all too thin to wear in 20-30 degree weather. I used to weigh 80lbs more and still have some clothes from then and I am sporting hoodies from my fat era. I laugh cause I think I look more stylish now than in my regular clothes.

kelsey you are a beautiful mama! keep it up!

I did a bunch of cleaning in what will be the baby room yesterday and ugh..my stomach muscles are sore (hmm..why my stomach?) lots of bending especially since I dropped every darn thing I picked up at least once.

what does one do with old cassette tapes? I hate to throw them away, and I do still have a tape player, but they have been sitting there for over 2 years doing nothing. throw away? I know my DH would be upset if he knew I threw them away (he can be kind of a packrat sometimes) but those sorts of things are best thrown away when he is not here and then he will never know or miss them.

They worked for me, but the big problem is putting them on EXACTLY right. Every time I turned around it seemed like they were slipping out of place. They helped me make it through the worst four weeks though.
