Took this to see just how low she is lol. My bump starts lower than I'm allowed to show.

Leah is definitely growing fast Amanda!! And you are carrying SO LOW it's craaaazaaay!

 

[clynn11]

My work extended our closing hours from 9 to 10. So horrible!! I do not want to be stuck here until 10 at night 4 nights a week!!

I know, right? This bump is so low, I don't even think the pictures do it justice compared to how it feels lol.

And regarding working later, I feel you. Normally we're open until 10pm but all this week we were open until 11 and next week, we're open until midnight. Next Saturday (not this weekend but the following) we open at 7am instead of our usual 8am. It's ridiculous.

 

[clynn11]

It sucks! I honestly don't even know why they extended them. They're losing money. Our busy hours are in the morning/day time. We are SO SLOW it's ridiculous. Haven't had a customer in at least an hour in here which makes it drag by even more!!!

When did you guys start getting little pooches? I swear my belly is sticking out more and more every day. And i've had FOUR family members tell me they think i'm having twins. WTF whyyyy?! Obviously I would be happy no matter what, but twins is NOT something we are prepared for or expecting lol. I'm sure there will just be one bean in there but the thought of getting two the first time is a bit intimidating. Can't wait for my scan. December 20th!! 8 weeks exactly

Hubby brought me chicken and rice (french onion flavored recipe he found a while ago, super easy to make). And I CANNOT eat it All I smell is onions and it tastes extremely funky. At least the cheesy bread and asparagus will hold me over until i'm off work.

 

[asmcsm]

Could be that the chicken is making you not want to eat it. I had major aversion to chicken up until this week. Actually pretty much all meat except steak, but chicken was the worst.

And is your pooch still soft right now? Could be bloat, I was super bloated 7 weeks. Also, if you've been constipated that makes you more bloated too. Lol I'm imagining Kevin's face if you guy saw twins on your ultrasound and it's cracking me up.

 

[clynn11]

The chicken wasn't tasting too good either, but it was some flavoring in the sauce that made it where I couldn't eat it. Had an aftertaste of rubbing alcohol!! Lol

Idk, it's pretty hard. It's not really my belly, but low low- like right above my crotch lol. Just that little area keeps sticking out more and more.

Luckily constipation hasn't been TOO bad. I'm backed up some days but have had no issues going. Just don't go as often as I used to! Lol

 

[SmallTownGal]

Great bump pics, ladies!

Aw, the little Santa hat on Emily's baby is so cute! He's a cute lil' feller.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Cassidy- My aversions got so bad that the only thing I could eat was pudding and apple sauce. It was the absolute worst and frustrating thing ever. I felt like I wanted to eat but almost everything made me gag. I still have not thrown up but i've lost over 7 lbs from my aversions and just not being able to eat. I can't wait until it's gone (it feels like it's on it's way out) so I can start ENJOYING this. lol

Guys on that photo Emily had a caption underneath that said something like "Time lapse: 2 seconds" So cute haha he just konked out! What a little ham

And oh my Cass I might need that recipe if it's easy.. Sounds like something that would be good to reheat at work. What a nice hubbs. And sorry you guys are working later hours and are slow too :/ Do you plan on quitting for a while after baby?

Waves- I loooove that picture, your photography always looks so awesome.. So low too, jeesh. I cannotttt believe you are 27 weeks, omg, she will be here before you know it!! Any more movement lately? I've been feeling movement everyday pretty frequently, but nowhere near as distinct as w/ Jaxon.. I hope it's not like this always

Oh and my hubby found his Canon Rebel from high school photography in his dads basement and brought it home to me... like "LOOK! This is what you wanted!!" Ummmm only to find out it's a FILM SLR...... Lol so any tips you've got would be appreciated. But thinking I may just put the digital one on my registry.. I mean is is like the #1 thing besides diapers that we need.. pretty set on everything else.

 

[MrsAmk]

Morgan, Bambo Nature diapers are on Zulily today!

 

[morganwhite7]

Ooh thanks Molly I'll look into it.. never used Zulily but ik they have great deals!

Speaking of clothies, what are the softest/best absorbing brand? Anyone know? Before I buy I want to make sure we've invested in the best, last thing I want is to buy a bunch and end up not using them and needing disposables, which we'd need to buy.

Thanks

I've been feeling a little bit more movement but nothing consistent or frequent or that hard. Film I have no idea about unfortunately If you can get a digital off your registry, I say go for it!!

i'm grumpy today. i feel like everyone around me is stupid, and saying stupid blanket statements.
and i'm constantly hungry. like stomach growling hungry.
and i have ADD. i have my experiemnt planned but now i'm shopping on crazy8.
and i'm scared for my scan next week.

 

[morganwhite7]

You've got the preggo brain- there's a symptom Mirolee!

I always feel like it's hard to focus on things, anything, but baby/pregnancy. It's hard to stay on task, and YES, somedays- everyone bothers me lol. Keep snackin on good stuff.. I've got a whole bin of cottage cheese in the fridge and snacking on peanuts all day. You've got a good excuse

Although idk if you can snack while doing lab work.. didn't think of that :/

So excited for your scan.. All is well.. All is well. No bleeding, no cramping.. just like you said love! It will make you feel great to see that little sac and HB, you'll be able to put yourself into this 110%. Try and keep a positive 'tude til then.. 5 days to go (if you round down )!!!

Waves- I think I remember seeing an electronics section in Target (that's where I made my registry).. do you think that have a Rebel or something nice? I just need a beginner DSLR camera that works well but isn't too confusing. I want to learn how to focus them like you do.. and would love a panoramic lens even though ik they're outrageously priced. Might have to hit up CL or Ebay for that.
