I got a package from old navy yesterday and was excited about my new romper. After trying it on I feel like a clown but it's sooo comfortable. Ladies, comfort vs fashion? Should I return it? I'm leaving you with a photo with and without a sweater (my arms are getting so big I prob would never wear without a sweater but I wanted you to see pockets and mid section draw string). If I wear it with flats or flip flops it looks even sillier. Maybe I'm too short for a romper. You don't really know me, so feel free to be honest. If you mention anything about me looking ready to pop I may be offended though edited to remove pics

Ooh fashion consultation! I agree with pbandj714--with the sweater, it kinda just looks like you have on a black top and black pants. It doesn't look silly to me.
I generally pick comfort all day, but if it's going to be something you will never want to wear out (or have to wear uncomfortable shoes with!), I might return. Unless you need more around-the-house comfies.
Tonight is my last clinical of PA school!!! After tonight I can concentrate on my board exam and finishing my thesis. Along with working a bit and finally nesting for this kiddo!
mladerri, first of all your arms are not big... I think they look great. I would not have know that was a romper and I think it looks super cute with or without the sweater! I think you could wear it with a light colorful summer sweater too as it gets a bit warmer! And I love the shoes you have with it!

mladerri, with the sweater it's super cute. I'm not generally a fan of maxi dresses/rompers or anything all over like that - but with the cardigan it's super cute. Although - how much more cardigan weather is there left? I'm so cheap - but also very concerned about being comfy! If cost isn't a factor and you'll wear it more than 3 times, keep it!
As for me, I have a major auction event at work April 1 and just submitted my progarm to the printer so I'm feeling VERY relieved and accomplished.
A calf-cramp woke me from a dead sleep last night and my leg STILL hurts because of it. I forgot about these with my last pregnancy. Between this and hip pain, my waddle is real.
I am feeling so big and uncomfortable lately. It's going to be a long 11 weeks or so. I need to get my ass in gear and get this house baby ready so I can be miserable and uncomfortable without having too much to do!

This has started to scare me too! I keep thinking I have plenty of time for the to-do list, but my stamina, physical abilities, comfort level are changing (declining) daily.
mladerri, I agree with others, I can't even tell it's a romper and it looks really cute with the sweater. I say keep it if it's something you think you will wear.
shoogars, I'm right there as well, by afternoon and through the rest of the day I feel gigantic and so uncomfortable. My skin feels so stretched I can't stand it. Let's hope these 11 weeks go by quickly.
Last night I saw my uncle who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, he was his same old self and it was really nice to see him.
So glad it's Friday. I only have 1 meeting at work today and I'm trying to figure out just how early I can leave without seeming like a lazy slacker...11am is too early?
Thanks ladies. I think I'll keep it cause it's comfy and I can wear it with a jean jacket in the spring. Flair Underwood I'm in Wisconsin so unfortunately I have a lot of cardigan weather left (42 today). Only downfall is it's hard to pee quickly! Thanks for all the feedback.
Congrats on submitting your program runlikeamilf. Yay!! bighair12 good luck on all your exams. csat happy you got to see your uncle and I hope he can beat the cancer.
mladerri, I agree with the others but was wondering about the bathroom situation too! It's really cute but I do think it needs a sweater or jacket or something on top to help break up the color.
So I went to a work baby shower yesterday afternoon for someone due next month. She's having her first, I'm having my second, and our builds are pretty different. Cue the obnoxious and socially clueless member of the team who couldn't stop going on and on about how much bigger I look than she does. I laughed because I take everything this lady says with a grain of salt, but gee....thanks.

mladerri I agree with manybellsdown. bighair12 wahoo! Flair Underwood yay for finishing! Sorry about your leg. Have you ever tried coconut water? A coworker of mine swears it's what got her through pregnancy because she got those cramps every night until she started drinking coconut water. manybellsdown I can't believe the lack of motivation, energy and stamina I have lately! I spent 8 hours laying down flooring 2 weeks before I gave birth with DS, this time I'm like I can lay down for 8 hours. Lol GOmamab15 your pregnant showing up should be enough to prove your not a slacker!
mladerri it looks cute! I agree with everything that has been said.
Congrats bighair12! That's a great accomplishment!
I am so glad it's Friday! I actually have to work this weekend too, but it's a very part time thing that I do a few times a year, so it will be a nice change of scenery. I've been sleeping with my snoogle since my reflux has gotten a little better this week. This morning I woke up laying completely on top of it on my back. I think my subconscious is really resisting this side laying thing!
I'm still battling this cold for almost 2 weeks now, I'm starting to wonder if it's just a pregnancy symptom. My arm is also so sore after my TDAP shot, like can barely lift it sore, I feel like such a baby.
This morning DS and I went to his last gymnastics class then we went to Party City to pick out some balloons for this party next weekend. Next week is going to get crazy! My Mom, sisters, and niece are coming in town. My DS has his birthday on the 28th, his party next Saturday (which is turning out to be MUCH larger than I had planned, yikes!) and my sisters are doing a small dinner to celebrate the baby. We are also doing a family dinner/birthday party on DS' actual birthday. I can't WAIT for him to open up his train table! It's all fun stuff, but there is so much to do to prepare.
We're planning to do a lot of yard work this weekend, which I am actually excited about because it's been on my to do list for a while now. We're going to go out tonight and buy everything (mulch, soil, flowers, etc.)

@txmommy I was so proud when we got some yard work done last weekend. We have a yard tractor and DH changed it from snowblower to lawn mower. Now we are supposed to get snow Sunday/Monday. Gotta love New England.

I'm home sick today. I've had a cold since Monday but had work assignments that had to get done, so today was my first opportunity to rest. Yesterday my feet and lower legs ballooned to cartoonish proportions. I'm retaining a lot of fluid. I've had swelling for two weeks, but yesterday it was worse than usual. Now I'm sitting at home keeping them elevated and wearing compression socks. I have my next OB appt. on Monday morning, so I'll see what the Doc says then. DH and I officially move this weekend. Although we bought the house in January our lease wasn't up, so we had been moving little things here and there and mostly staying at our old place. Now the movers are coming Sunday and the house isn't fully packed. We're about 80% packed. I'm starting to worry we won't finish on time. I want to help DH, but he and my mom keep insisting I stay off my feet so that swelling goes down.
On a brighter note, I'm officially in the 3rd Trimester!!!!

I have 2 randoms: I am 99% sure we have a boy name!! It's not my favorite with our last name, but it's not terrible and we both really like the name. I will share when we are 100% sure. Now I'm reconsidering our girl name...
The second one is I noticed yesterday my bra was feeling a small. Didn't think much of it. Just now I was in the bathroom at work a noticed it's not only a little tight but I'm literally flowing over the top! I swear it wasn't that like that this morning. Can they really grow that fast or am I just that oblivious and probably should have sized up a while ago?!

bgkc4 hope your feeling better soon! Your DH and mom are right you should relax with your feet up. You don't want to make it worse! Drink lots of water and get lots of rest! Congrats on 3rd tri!
