Symptom Check: The most annoying one is I still have morning sickness really REALLY bad. I left work with everything only half done and have to go back in tomorrow (my day off) to get it finished.
Are you in maternity clothes yet? Erm, sort of. I have maternity clothes, but I'm a uniform all the time and ...they aren't maternity. But, the maternity pants given to me are super comfy!
If so, would you be interested in posting on a "Maternity Fashion Show" thread? (Was thinking it would be fun for us to post pics of our favorite maternity outfits) Yeah, I'd be game for that
Is there anyone left that you haven't told? No, but some of the truck drivers ask me EVERY TIME they see me why I'm rubbing my belly. They must not remember from last week that I'm pregnant LOL
What is your favorite thing about being knocked up? For some reason I love to point at my belly when DH is around and say, "Do you see this belly? Your baby is in there!" lol
What is your least favorite thing about being knocked up? The nausea and vomiting. UGH. Plus, I'm scared something bad is gonna happen.
Anything else you would like to share? Yes. If I'm one of those "lucky" ones that stay sick all pregnancy, one of you ladies is gonna come clean my house and cook dinner every night LOL

[HollyRK]

Name: Holly

How far along are you: 11 weeks

EDD: April 23rd

Symptom Check: Crazy sensitive to smell, stupid food aversions, crying at the dumbest stuff ever.

Are you in maternity clothes yet? Yes, mainly for comfort. I missed that stretch panel! LOL
If so, would you be interested in posting on a "Maternity Fashion Show" thread? (Was thinking it would be fun for us to post pics of our favorite maternity outfits) Possibly...I'm not a fashionista so it's mostly going to be work suits and boring stuff!

What is your favorite thing about being knocked up? Total excuse to take a mid-day office nap

What is your least favorite thing about being knocked up? The exhaustion that mandates the mid-day nap

I'm buying a new used car on Thursday (a corolla) and I'm freaking out that its going to be too small for a car seat. But we can't afford a big car right now. I'm on a mad car seat search and doing lots of research about which are the best. Recommendations are welcome.

Don't worry about size! I drove a VW Beetle when my son was a newborn and my husband had a Ford Focus. A Chicco Keyfit 30 fit just fine in both. My DH still drives the Bug (long story - it was my first car when I was 16 and my DH is a frugal weirdo), and a forward-facing Britax Roundabout 50 fits, too.
