Anyone else having pulling/pressure in their lower pelvic area? It started this weekend, and I notice it more if my bladder is full or if I sit for extended periods of time. I know it's probably ligaments & stuff shifting, but I was just curious if anyone else was starting to feel this too.
Yup, I have been feeling like that for about 2-3 weeks. Sometimes after I've been sitting for a long time it almost is like I pull the muscle when I stand up.
So my DH and I went to the mall today and I casually strolled by the baby section. After a couple of hours of research, I now have myself convinced I have to have this $170 diaper bag....what?!?! My last diaper bag was $30!!! Ugh. I'm obsessed though. JujuBe BFF.
Oh I'm a bag fiend... I really shouldn't look at diaper bag options... I'll probably find the $500 one and want nothing else
So I have a fb friend who is one of those fitness people who tries to sell everyone workout dvds and protein shakes and blah blah blah... Yeah, she just posted an article reminding everyone to watch their calorie intake on Thursday because it's so easy to overdo it. Are you kidding me?!?
She's not usually super obnoxious about it, but she was immediately banished from my feed. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.

JujuBe's are amazing! I would love the BFF, I have used my BeAll for two kids and it shows no wear. If you do want it keep your eye on Babysteals.com, they have JJB quite often. You may even be able to find one if you google baby steals archive.

I don't want to be an enabler, but that's the one we got with DS and I loved it! It was big enough to hold everything we needed but not so big that things got lost. And DH loved that it could be worn as a backpack. I think I ordered mine through Nordstrom and got a great sale price. Black Friday purchase maybe??? I'm not helping am I?

You are helping!!! You're convincing me that I DO in fact NEED it!!!!
I might look on Black Friday, although I'd feel silly buying a diaper bag that would sit in a closet for six months. I rarely need anything with DS now...

I know! I was just casually strolling by the baby section at Nordstrom. I buy all baby things from Target and Amazon, but found this bag and was obsessed...

Look at it this way - if there's a great deal on Friday, you'll be frugal in your splurging, even if it does sit there until June!

Also. You'll be spreading your expenses out, and if it's on a deal it's better than impulse buying later in at full price or buying something you don't want, and then something else you don't want that would equal this.
It would also have good resale value if you change your mind.

Also, I interviewed for a job last week and it went really well. It's a step up from my current position and much closer to my house and the daycare we go to.
They called me today and said they offered the position to someone else and it was accepted, but they wanted me to apply for a different position, which would be a lateral move. I declined. I'm not going anywhere for the same role and responsibilities I have already. If it's not a step forward, it's a step backwards because you're starting over at a new company. Anyway! The lady emails me tonight (like after 5) and says she's on her way to catch a flight but wanted me to know they had a change of plans and would like to offer me the position but it will have to wait until after the holiday, when she's back in the office.
Sorry, but huh? What the fuck. I'm annoyed but really want to hear this offer. I won't take it unless they give me a full maternity leave so we'll see how it goes, but slow your roll, lady. Maybe you should've waited to contact me until after the holiday to begin with.
origamimommy, Wow! Well, congrats on the job! Did the other candidate decline? Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what their offer is, and it's nice that the ball is sort of in your court now...
Okay guys, Amazon is freaking me out. I put the diaper bag on my "Wish list" just to save there, a few hours ago. It was $177. I checked again to admire the pictures a few hours later ,it was $173. I just logged in right now to look at it (I know, crazy) and it is $161. Are they watching how many times I look at it and lowering the price?!?

txmommy14 I'm assuming the other person declined. But they only did final interviews with the two of us, so if they don't negotiate with me they have to start at square one. So we'll see! I'm not unhappy in my current role, but it's a promotion and more money, plus a much much shorter commute. So we'll see what they say next week.

lakecountrygal I'm always amazed at the range of weight gained by some compared to others. One of my friends gained 60lbs during her pregnancy and another friend is currently in month 7 and has only gained 10 lbs. This is my first so I'm not sure what to expect.
andrea I definitely feel a pulling or a heaviness and have felt it since pretty early on. I can feel it at night when I'm sleeping on either side. I also feel it during the day sometimes. It's such an odd feeling. Not very painful but definitely nagging.
I checked out all of the baby bags and they're super cute. So far I only have one baby bag saved to my secret "baby" Pinterest board which includes nursery ideas and all things baby related:) It's this bag:
bgkc4 That is really cute!! And I love secret Pinterest boards. I always have to be really careful though and make sure I don't post it to a regular board since we haven't announced the pregnancy
I'm currently loving secret Amazon wish lists. I also have things on there I need/want for DS. I couldn't do that with DS because there are SO many things you need for a new baby, but now that I just need a handful of things, it's convenient to organize and think through what we will need. I didn't let myself create it until we saw the baby via ultrasound at 11 weeks though.
lakecountrygal you only gained 15 pounds your last pregnancy? Holy cow. I gained 42! I'd be stoked to only gain 25 this time!
I'm already over halfway to what you gained in an entire pregnancy.
Yikes.
Me too. It's okay though. This happened to me last pregnancy and it slowed down and came off after baby. Trying to remember this, and I'm just doing what I need to in order to survive and not feel sick!
We are at Disney this week and it's so fun. DS is such a great age for the magic! I'm exhausted. Monday we walked 13 miles, today was 11 and tomorrow is our last horrah so I'm thinking it will be even more. I plan on doing nothing other than sitting with my feet up Thursday through Sunday!
