Thanks so much, y'all! I really appreciate all the advice. I ordered a suit on sale from Liz Lange, some black pants from Old Navy, and picked up a few skirts on sale at Target when I was there this morning.

Thank you all sooooo much! That is a huge help. I was really starting to feel like I was out of luck I may now be able to justify a 2 hour road trip to the nearest Nordstrom's in Rhode Island. :)

At week 14, I have just about outgrown all my work clothes. A few suits I can still get by with, since they have long jackets that cover the zipper that's not quite zipped and the hair elastic that's looped around the button. ;) This weekend I moved a lot of my favorite Ann Taylor suits to the...

How horribly rude! I observed the flip side of this when I ran into a former co-worker who is pregnant with her third. Her first is a girl, and her second is a boy. I asked if she was going to find out the sex of the new baby, and she said "No. I found out with him because I really wanted...

I am due November 28th. :)

Such adorableness! Congratulations!!!

How wonderful!!! Congratulations!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

I'm 12 weeks too, and I asked about this at my last appoinment! I'd read everywhere that lying on the back causes pressure on the vena cava. My question was "So how do I stop, since I usually sleep on my back?" The nurse practicioner told me that it may be 14 or 15 weeks before this is a...

>That is something MY DH would say! He suggests names like >"Jonesy" and "Shaquille." LOL! Notice how they never suggest girls' names? I'm glad I'm not the only one who is married to a goober! My BIL's name, Derek, was suggested by my FIL, who was watching a Boston Bruins game. This...

Love all these names! I've always adored the name Madeleine, but unfortunately it sort of rhymes with our last name. We're waiting until we find out the sex to start arguing about names. Right now DH is making goofy suggestions like "How about Bubba?" and while watching CSI/Miami "Why don't...

I read about this in one of my pregnancy books! I think it also mentioned a reduction in amniotic fluid?

How wonderful!! And such a pretty name. CONGRATULATIONS! :-) :-) :-)

This sounds so great! I am always intrigued by how healthcare works in Canada. Glad that this option is available to you, and so close to home too. If I didn't love my OB practice and the nurse/midwife I see there, I'd almost be tempted to move to Alberta. :)

Congratulations on the start of a new career! :-)

The labor dance! Here we go!!! Just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right... No, no, wait, that's the Time Warp. How do we do the labor dance? Imani, hope that things are progressing nicely. :)

Don't you love the names that kids come up with when they can't say "Grandma" and "Grandpa"? I had a friend who called her grandmother and great grandmother Gagi and Fafi. (???) I know of a grandfather who is Gump. And a new grandmother whose grandson won't call her anything but Bugga.

When I called to give my mother the news that she'd be a grandmother, I gave her the assignment to decide what she'd like to be called. She asked what my MIL is called by her four grandsons: Grammy. So, over a month later, my mom is uncharacteristically quiet about this! What are your...

How exciting!!! Congrats! Hmm... maybe I'll have some Pop Tarts for dinner...

Wendy, that's very interesting! What a lot for her to go through with the adjustment after surgery AND pregnancy at the same time. I guess that "eat six small meals a day" advice applies in either case.
