I woke up scream crying at 4:45am with a calf cramp. My poor husband. He thought I was dying. I mean I thought I was dying there for a second. Lol.
DD2 & 3 have preschool and MMO this morning, so I'm going to enjoy a couple hours of alone time and hopefully organize a closet or something. Then DD1 is performing with the cheerleaders thanks to a clinic this past weekend, at the high school football game. Haven't been there in like 15 years. Should be interesting!

What’s everyone wearing for maternity leggings? I feel like I have tried every legging under the sun and nothing is comfortable. I like the over the belly ones so it gives a clean line (ie no muffin top) and gives some belly support. But can’t seem to find any that are even remotely comfortable!!

Good morning ladies! We are up and have had breakfast. My sister and bil are somehow sleeping through G's loud chattering. She gets on the bus in about 45 minutes so hopefully they can sleep through all of that. We were up too late last night talking so now I am tired.

I have been wearing the ones from target. I also have been buying LLR tall and curvy because I am usually the smaller size in their leggings so the bigger ones cover my belly.

I tried looking for the target ones that you got but I think they got rid of them right? I think I remember you posting about it when u got them saying how comfy they are but they were on clearance and were being discontinued 😩

Good morning! I'm reluctantly awake. I think DD and I will walk into town for some coffee and then there is a rummage sale at a local church. This is the best sale because the people who price the stuff have NO IDEA how much baby crap costs. Last year I got two bjorn potties for $1 each and the year before that I got a really nice baby playmat for $5. Not looking forward to controlling DD in the stroller though. amesie, I have a bunch of leggings. Today, for you, I will try an over the belly pair and report back on brand and comfort level. You're welcome.

amesie, with DD I was more comfortable in under belly leggings but not this time. My favorites are gap body maternity. I have 5 pairs of black ones now (capri and full length). They are thick enough that they aren't see through and are really soft and comfortable.

This is the first weekend with temps under 80 or 90 which I'm so excited for. We are going to an orchard one day to pick apples and for a hay ride and then to a greek festival that's really fun. I also need to get started on organizing the baby's room because I am just under 13 weeks out now. We'll see if I really get anything accomplished though.

We are getting E's big boy bed (a twin size) mattress delivered tomorrow so we will try the big switcheroo. He's been sleeping in bed with me (and DH in the guest room) for about 2 months now. The crib is just a decoration since the end of July or so. Our local airport is also doing "airport day" so maybe that tomorrow, depending on the mattress delivery. Ever so exciting, I also want to go out for pizza! It's Homecoming week at school this week, so everyone is all crazy. We'll end the day with our pep rally instead of 4th period. That will be fun because the weather is nice and we will be outside in the stadium. Nothing much else going on!

I had to size down to a small (which I am NEVER a small in bottoms) and they were still huge. The belly is the most uncomfortable thing, it’s wicked baggy and goes up way past my bra line

I tuck my bra over the top of the panel because I'm obviously an old lady now.

Morning!
I think we'll make cookies this morning. Then today is supposed to be gorgeous so hopefully spend the afternoon outside!
Yesterday DS and I did a NUMBER on our toy situation and everything has a home, broken toys are gone, the playroom is the cool place to be and the living room is claimed by adults again lol! I'm feeling much more prepared for the Christmas rush of gifts and giant baby stuff coming back out again!
We should get one more gorgeous day tomorrow before it turns back to even colder than it was before this little "heat wave". (I say in quotations because it's the temps a lot of you have been wanting to go down to, and here we are happy we went up to them again haha!) So I think we'll try to hit up a Pumpkin Festival tomorrow.
Have a great Friday all!

Oh! @peachesandcream, I just went and dug out those papers I got from my health nurse last time when I asked about breathing techniques. There's a ton of pages, but this is the one thing that stuck with me through DD's labour-the "relax" sentence. Just having something to focus on while I was breathing was so helpful. And reminding myself it won't last forever. So that's my biggest suggestion! Trust, I'm super nervous thinking about if I have to go through it med free again too..it goes so fast but hurts oh so bad.

Maybe try online?

Hi everyone!! We've had a crazy few days. DS is quite sick. He had RSV last winter so his lungs suck now. He's also had an upper respiratory infection. He's had a high fever since Tuesday and currently has reactive airway disease. His fever finally seems to have broken today. He had a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia yesterday and thankfully he doesn't have that. Basically any time he's sick we'll see lots of wheezing and coughing. It's not contagious thankfully. But he feels like crap. He'll almost certainly have asthma but it's too early to officially diagnose. So for now we're doing breathing treatments and steroids. Poor kid! Wife has been home w him since Tuesday. Thank God she has unlimited vacation time! I hope you're all well!

They are super thin and they seem to stretch out. They are comfortable enough, I am just not crazy about them.

I'm wearing TC LuLaRoe leggings that I already own. They're still working well. I also have a pair from Motherhood that you can DEFINITELY see my butt through. 😱

I have a pair from motherhood from last pregnancy but again, they’re super baggy and the tummy is so uncomfortable The pair I chose today is pea in the pod. They are my favorite. They look like they would be baggy but they aren't. The panel is more spandexy than the leggings themselves which keeps the tummy panel up.

Awe sorry about your little guy hiimjamie. DS has also been on a daily inhaler and has ventalin for when he gets sick too in hopes it can strengthen his lungs enough by the time he's 5/6 and not end up with an asthma diagnosis. I feel ya, it's so hard to watch them struggle to breathe! It only happens when he's sick thank goodness, but it does make me anxious every time he comes down with something because he's wound up in the hospital a few times.

I also have the GapFit Maternity leggings but they fit much better on me than you are saying amesie haha! So I guess I am not of much help there.

Sounds like what I’m looking for? True to size? Or do you find them big? Every pair of maternity leggings I have purchased so far has been big

I don’t wear them as pants.

I don’t wear them as pants. I do too! It just makes me self conscious. I asked wife if you could see through them when I put them on and she said no. I realized when I was changing later that you could. 🤦♀️

Every pair of maternity leggings I have purchased so far has been big I think they run a bit big. I'm usually a size 8-10, the ones I have on are a large and they are a bit baggy in the thigh. A medium would probably fit better.

It's so crappy bc he's so young and you can't explain it to him. He's been waking up in the middle of the night all scared. Poor kid. Since the RSV last winter we've done the nebulizer treatments every time he's gotten sick but this time it just got out of hand. Thankfully he hasn't ended up in the hospital yet! Your poor little guy!

While they aren't technically leggings, I just bought the new Stevie pants from old navy. They are a thick ponte knit, with some seams down the front and back. The panel seems like it will.hold them up nicely, but I haven't worn them for a full day yet. I will report back after the weekend
