These are the ones I am wearing now, in that Olive color. They are so comfy.

I like that these have a short length.  Buying them to try despite the full panel!  Thanks!

Lol I am the opposite bostonbaker . Full panel all day because it smooths out my bump. I have a belly button that remains a crevasse the entire time and never pops so it is not cute and I like to smooth it out as much as possible. I will find the pants I have, one sec.

I, too, have the belly button that never cutely pops.  The front of my belly stays nearly flat the whole time.  I liked full panel last time but during the summer it was so fucking hot.  I am going to try out a few demi panels this time and see if it works for the summer at least.  I do like the smoothing a full panel gives though.

I just ordered these www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=455880022 and really hope they fit!  I will probably have to have them hemmed but I am might get away with a small cuff since summer tends to be a bit more casual.

I wanted these pants but they didn't have my size

My belly button also never popped but it didn't look weird under my shirts.  I prefer the indent look over the popped belly button, personally.

Where do the full panels hit you all on your belly?  They really don't dig in and leave a line? 

I'm working on my second shopping cart in two days now.  Oh boy.  Our UPS guy will be busy.

buttercup I'm so glad you had a good US!

I'm going to go eat Capitan Crunch now. Or Fruity Pebbles.

Yesterday, DS found an off brand cereal that is basically berry Captain Crunch with Lucky Charms marshmallows. I haven't tried it, but the bag smelled like heaven when I opened it to give him some this morning.

Please do share where you found that. It sounds heavenly.

I recently bought the nat geo photo ark. It's so cool and the pictures are beautiful. So many different animals. It's a coffee table book.

Just dropped DS off at DC and it smelled wonderful. Like lasagna or something. That kid eats good at school lol. I'm jealous.

I am short, all around, so I actually have the opposite problem with the full panel.  They tend to go too high for most of the time and then get all weird under my boobs.  I found that they stretched out pretty quickly and slid down too, which drove me nuts.  I never had a problem with them digging in.

[blabbermouth]

I put in a Gap order too. At least it's easy to take back if I don't like it. I don't remember what type of panel the pants I got are, there weren't a ton to choose from in my size. I think I got a pair of pants, a pair of shorts and four tops for $100CAD. Some of the shirts were super cheap so I couldn't resist even if I won't need them for awhile. They'll be nice to have for the bit of fall we have to go through when I don't want to wear dresses anymore.

Same. Full panels on me go basically right up to the bottom of my bra.

I think the line they make under your shirt is just inevitable. I don't mind it.

My fasting glucose was right smack in the middle of normal. Good news!

Nice!

I'm curious to hear about mine since I didn't fast. The paperwork from my ob said that none of the tests required fasting, so I had breakfast and coffee. Then, when I got to the lab, the woman there gave me a hard time because I had eaten. We'll see, I guess!

[bostonbaker]

Maybe I just had a huge belly, lol. By third tri they hit me like an inch above my belly button.

Yeah, I couldn't do glucose with my first draw because I hadn't fasted. Unfortunately, it is one of the ones affected by eating because, well, carbohydrates. But hopefully it still turns out okay! If anything, they might be able to gauge if it is still okay based on that fact that you ate. And honestly, this glucose test it just a baseline because the GTT is what they really need to determine gestational diabetes.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I've never had glucose issues in the past, so I'm hoping it's still in the normal range.

I got an extra ultrasound today because the baby was too busy moving around for the dr to measure the heartbeat with the Doppler. He had it a few times so he knew it was there but the baby was just too busy. I'm not complaining

[lgraceh]

I am struggling here today. It's my last day at this office, and I am not super motivated. I have "vacation" until 5/1, when I start at the new office. I'll take my last train commute this afternoon, and I am never looking back! Haha.

Where did you find the shorts? I could only find one pair on gap.com (and they didn't have my size) and I neeeed maternity shorts lol there's no way my regular ones will fit this summer.

One of the people I work with brought me fries. She's now my favorite person in the world.

[twotxmommies]

How do people expect us to wait 4 weeks between apts? I have a doppler at home but I think it is way too early for that? Waiting does not look good on me.
I die.

My coworker brought donuts. I thought I was going to vom on the way to work but a giant triple chocolate donut magically cured my nausea.

I had to go in for an ultrasound today. I've been having spotting, but it's been brown. Sunday night there was red and Tuesday morning after sex there was a lot of pink everywhere. The nurse on the phone wasn't super concerned, but booked me an appt. just in case. At my last US they saw a subchorionic hemorrhage that was healing, which may explain some of the spotting. Today it was completely healed! No sex until next Tuesday, but that is much better than never again which I had concerns that they would tell me. Baby is measuring a little ahead and wiggling all over!

Glad you're ok @annperkins!!

I wonder if it's because I was on the Canadian site? I checked, there aren't any of the same sale ones on the US site, weird! Sorry!

I agree, my shorts were already a bit tight when I went to Phoenix in March, there's no hope for them this summer.

That's ok! Maybe I'll try old navy.
