Yeah my boobs went thru an initial growth spurt during the 6-8 week period but they've seemed to chill out since then. I know big boobs can make women look heavier than they are. I bought a be band to get me thru the awkward not quite ready for maternity clothes stage. Haven't needed it yet but my jeans and especially…

It's not true for every man I work with but my officemate makes me so angry. He gets sick every time he's stressed out (which is during our busiest times every year), he already gets to work from home for some of his hours (at least a couple a day) because he doesn't sleep well at night, and he's worked from home…

Me too! I'm actually 11 weeks now, but not showing at all yet. And I feel like the only pregnant lady in the history of the world to be excited about maternity clothes. I've already seen a ton of really super cute dresses and tops I can wear to my office. I'm looking forward to accentuating the bump.

I'm only 11 weeks pregnant so I'm not even showing really (just looking a tiny bit bloated) but I already dread this stage. I'm fairly thin and pretty tall (5'8.5") so I'm hoping I don't go through the "wow, she's getting fat" stage. I feel pretty guilty when I think about this but a woman I work with got pregnant a…

In high school my favorite outfits involved mini skirts and tube socks. Our school had all these dress code rules, like no spaghetti straps, skirts must be longer than fingertip length (pft!). The only one that was ever followed was the "no flip flops" rule, which I think was because the school felt it was an actual…

My guess is wind chill. The article says the average temp doesn't take that into consideration.

Maybe it's because I'm from Wisconsin but we skinny dipped in the winter all the time and it wasn't ever a huge deal.

Ha! I still have that problem, except I'll be in a meeting at work and then bam! I can't think about anything but my husband railing me the night before. Wouldn't be so bad but I tend to be a blusher.

Yeah I'm a Coke drinker and I haven't been able to give up my one caffeinated soda a day. I don't feel even slightly guilty. That may change if I have someone freak the fuck out on me about it but I only just announced it at work/on facebook this week so there's still plenty of time to get judged.

I hear ya. 10 weeks here and I already really, really want a margarita... unlike wine though I probably can't get away with having a couple margaritas throughout my 2nd and 3rd trimesters... sigh.

For me I don't call myself pretty because I honestly don't feel like I'm very pretty. Pretty is something bestowed upon you by others. Growing up I was always the more plain/understated girl compared to my friends. I've had a boyfriend since I was 16 so I didn't get attention from lots of different guys ever. Honestly…

I've always said my breasts' best feature was the fact that they're perky as hell even though they're on the smaller side (small B cup). I'm looking forward to maybe getting big(ger) tits out of pregnancy but I'm terrified post breast feeding they will be small and saggy. I totally would consider a boob job at that…

I second this. I am an extremely empathetic and introverted and that is precisely why I don't think I would be a good fit for social work or teaching 1st graders. I would never be able to leave my problems at work and I would be miserable.

It's weird when couples cannot function independently of one another I think. We go our separate ways all the time. When we go back to our hometown he goes and sees his friends and I go and see mine. Sometimes we all meet up and go out to the bars together. Sometimes we don't. It's not a big deal. He's my best friend…

It's gonna be a good night. Mr Haa and I are spending the evening cuddling on the couch watching shitty Netflix movies. We have about 40 pounds of Chinese delivery on its way and I picked up half a dozen red velvet cupcakes on my way home from work. I love lazy nights in!

Thanks. I have my next prenatal appointment on Monday so I'm sure they'll go over the results then.

S0 I just had my first official STD test a couple weeks ago because I'm pregnant and I'd never been tested before so I thought might as well do it now. I haven't heard anything back yet so I assume that means everything was clear. Anybody know for sure?

You can send 'em my way and I'll test them for you. :)

My one cat's is fine but the other doesn't do a great job of cleaning himself. So I imagine he's doing it to be an ass since we don't let him stuff his face all day.

Hey, if that makes you feel better, then sure. I think they're just dicks. :)
