1. 14 weeks, 6 days
2. I went fishing with H yesterday and got SO seasick. I've never once gotten sea sick before, so I blame it on pregnancy. Which sucks because now I probably won't go out again until after baby comes. I was absolutely, positively miserable and am so sad about it.
3. For a splurge - I really want the Momaroo swing from 4Moms. It just looks awesome. It is pricey and the reviews are mixed - it seems that a lot of babies either love or hate it. But I want it!!!
4. I change the color more frequently than I change the actual "style". I have my hair cut to a bit longer than shoulder length in long layers. I tend to keep it that length because I can pull it up in a knot easily - but will change the color depending on my mood. Always staying in an auburn "tone' but with different highlights, etc.

1. 5 weeks, 5 days 2. Constipation. Lets just say the last time I went it was very very painful. 3. So far nothing, but I don't want to buy anything until we are a little farther a long.
Random: I usually get highlights every 3-3.5 months. I did get about 6-7 inches cut off a couple weeks ago which is a huge thing for me since it is rare that I change my length

snippet17 - prepare for a long ride in terms of constipation. It's brutal. Sorry. I have had some measure of success with bran muffins recipe here. I added raisins to mine last time, and might add choc chips the next time... Bran muffins are an excellent suggestion. Raisin Bran cereal was my best friend while pregnant.

Not a fan of raisins so raisin bran I will pass on, but I will start making bran muffins. I am just happy that is my biggest issues/complains thus far for the pregnancy. DH thought I would be throwing up every single day.
@swimmy1988 - Sorry to hear that you are still bleeding. @drexelkathy - That sucks about not being able to get on the boat. Is there anything you can take for seasickness that is pregnancy friendly?

1. How far along are you? 9w4d
2. AWs/rants/vents? Not much, really, though they I do have to agree that the constipation is killer. I haven't been particularly sick, but I have zero appetite, like I feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I blame the constipation. I'll have to try the bran muffins. Otherwise, just tired, which is fine since I'm on summer break right now. I'm rocking the afternoon nap these days!
3. What do you intend on splurging on for the baby? Where will you save? Probably splurge on a stroller since we walk a lot. We're pretty minimalist in general, although I'm more than willing to spend the money to get something that will work for us.
Random:
How often do you change your hairstyle? Rarely. I should more often, but I always think that hairstyles that look good on others will look silly on me, so I never pull the trigger.

Hi Ladies! I'm sorry for the long absence, time is flying by with Baby G around! I'll post a birth story in a bit, but our beautiful Gianna was born on June 22nd at 3:58pm at 40w3d. She was 7lbs 13oz and 20.5" long. I can't believe she's already 2 weeks old! We took this picture at the hospital when she was 1 day old, she already seems so much bigger!

snippet17 I could probably take Dramamine but it just isn't worth it. H takes charters so we can't really turn around and come back if I don't feel well - so there is no way of knowing, for sure, if it would work unless I'm out there for at least 8 hours again and I don't want to spend another 8 hours sick like I did yesterday. It was miserable and I don't want to risk it again

Oh, and what's with the monster veins? Normally, I have none visible- the blood donor people just love me... But now? I have giant, thick blue veins everywhere, like even around my shoulders. What is that about? I look like a roadmap!

What is that about? I look like a roadmap! Normal. This is due to increased blood production. @swimmy1988 with my SCH I spotted brown like that from weeks 6-15. I never got used to it, or at least I didn't think I did until I stopped bleeding and then I freaked out about THAT bc I am a looney. It is normal though. And I had red bleeding every couple weeks to go along with it. So fun!!

1. How far along are you? 21+1 - past the halfway point!!
2. AWs/rants/vents? Just adjusting to getting larger. Weight gain is right on track but it's still ... Unnerving to see these numbers on the scale. Otherwise just trying to sleep, and naps are helping now that I'm not working.
3. What do you intend on splurging on for the baby? Where will you save? We are going to splurge on stroller and car seat combos, and maybe a few things with fixing up the babies room. There needs to be some work done after a leaky roof last year, but it would have had to be done anyway. We will be saving on just about everything else.
Random:
How often do you change your hairstyle Never? I dunno it's always close to shoulder length and has blonde highlights. I'm boring. I went shorter last year after I donated the hair I grew out for my wedding, but it drove me nuts to not be able to do a ponytail.

@jennylee - is there anything your doctor can give you for the heartburn?

@jennylee - is there anything your doctor can give you for the heartburn? I'm taking OTC antacids on doctor's advice, and popping Rolaids like there's no tomorrow. I have reflux anyway, which presents as a cough quite often. Stupidly annoying, but manageable. Now however, it's coughing in addition to the chest burning, and if I don't eat when I feel hungry, I end up getting sick. Awesome. But I guess I'm in the home stretch. Guess baby will have hair! Ugh @jennylee that sucks so bad. I didn't have heartburn with either baby (and the almost baldness that comes with it) but I did have AWFUL reflux. If I had any advice more than what you're already doing, I would happily give it. At least you're in the home stretch.

So here is a vent - maternity clothes!
So many things seem like they are totally and completely geared for bigger women! I usually wear a small/medium size. Yet there seem to be no small/medium size maternity clothes in stores. I need extra room in the belly area a bit - but not bigger arms/shoulders, etc.
I tried ordering online - but with only minimal success. My regular clothes don't fit/aren't comfortable. I just want comfy shorts/capris and some decent tops. Not tent size tops or pants with a huge, saggy a*s! And I can't find them!
I guess I am going to have to venture to a bigger mall in the hopes of finding something but this sucks. I have like 2 pairs of capris (one being white so they are not for daily wear), one yoga shorts and 1 pair of jean shorts. This sucks.
