Much comfortable.

I have succumbed maternity pants too goldenbird. I wore them this weekend. I think I could pull off my regular pants for maybe another week or so but they're tight and would rather be comfortable. |

I'm in between my regular pants with a strategy belt or belly band and size panel maternity pants. Neither fit right now, so yoga pants it is.
I was so looking forward to kid #2 because no showers that I have to pretend to enjoy. Then my mom said "surprise, we're planning a shower for you" and it's who she wants to invite only and 3 hours away from me. (I am 3 hours from my family) Great... So H isn't thrilled because our friends and his family can't participate. I'm not thrilled either because MIL will find inevitably out and it will cause even more issues between our parents. Which is awesome because they already don't like each other. Yay.... I just want everyone to suck it up and get along for the sake of DS and this baby so birthdays stop being so friggin' awkward with both sides staying away from each other in my house.
Sorry for the rant that likely made no sense.

pbandjelly that stinks. And to me it’s even worse to have drive three hours when you’re likely in 3rd trimester. Just...no.

Ok travel question. Would you guys be ok with traveling for work at week 34? The trip would require me to fly from NYC to Seattle and then I would be there for a week (Sunday through Friday). I can get out of it but its a good opportunity to attend an event with one of my customers. The internet seems to think week 36 and beyond is the only thing to be concerned about. If it helps my last 2 were induced at 41 weeks+.

I feel sorry for all of the daycare providers and teachers working with overtired kids that haven't adjusted to the time change yet. DS didn't want to get up this morning and was a mess at drop off this morning. He also woke up randomly at 2:45am and was kicking his crib rails.
I feel better today, but I'm still really run down. I stopped at Starbucks after two weeks of not going. Oh well.

As long as your doctor thinks it's okay, I wouldn't be overly concerned MIL is already trying to plan something when I'm 37 weeks and we're a 4.5 hr drive away. I told MH he needs to put his foot down because 36-37 is what I've heard as a good cut off for travel |

catspajamas2 I’m usually team “travel until the bitter end!” But that’s a pretty far trip. I’d also check with your doctor first!

I went to Aldi and spent double what I normally do, but it was still way more food than I could get anywhere else. Plus we needed a lot. My hips and back are so sore now and I didn't even get all the groceries put away yet. Obviously I put all the cold stuff away, but I needed to sit down so pantry stuff can wait

A mild pregnancy waddle has started for me. I feel like it's super early for that, but here we are.

I'll ask my doctor. To be honest I "should" go but really don't want to. My last trip was such torture that I am really not looking forward the idea of spending a week with little control over my comings and goings. This isn't a make or break my career kind of trip so I'm just going to wait a little longer to decide.

Lol I have the full panel jeans and the thing goes all the way up to my bra 😂. I'm assuming it will be a bit further down when I have a bigger bump

catspajamas2 last pregnancy I travelled for work around 34 weeks. It was a short distance away so I elected for a train over a plane but that was mainly because I lived in a big city where getting to the airport, etc. was a PITA. This time I'll be travelling around the same time (34 weeks) for a family vacation, but that's a car trip. So in short if there weren't any complications in my pregnancy I would do it. My travel cut off in my head is 36 weeks. ETA: I just saw your above post. I think 34 weeks is also far enough along that if you DONT want to go, nobody is going to judge you for that and it's well within the realm of reason to stay put.

pbandjelly, can your mom invite your MIL to the shower has a peace offering? I'm still bitter almost 7 years later than my sister didn't invite me to her baby shower because she just assumed I wouldn't make it. She's probably right, but I would have liked an invitation at least.

I hate when it slides down. So far so good with it staying up even with bending down a ton. 🤞 it's sooo much easier to get back up after crouching down with no belt on and no low rise jeans to pull up. |

I might be a little nervous to travel that far and would probably not go unless I had some friends or family that lived near by. Also, would this be a stressful trip, like long hours or more laid back? I think that would be a deciding factor for me too. |

Do you think your MIL will plan a shower now or not likely? No, she's the type to show up and just sit down to be entertained. We'll just deal with it as it implodes. I just keep reminding my mom that DS was induced way early because of my sky high blood pressure. So, she needs to keep her drama in check. |

Sorry for the rant that likely made no sense. This is probably easier said than done, but can you just say no? My aunt offered to throw a sprinkle/shower for me, and I said, no thanks. Usually my friends and I will take mom to be out for a pedicure and/or lunch or something before delivery, and that's plenty for me! |

My doctor discourages any travel after 24 weeks (viability) because in her words "they're not going to land the plane for you to deliver your baby" but she's also very intense. |

It took me a year just to get her to stop saying that DS was her boy and to stop requesting daily check ins and detailed notes about his Dr visits. Needless to say she enjoys hovering and I'm over the crap. |
