I haven't found good maternity jeans; I'm a size 18-20, mostly due to hips/butt.   I do like Gap's maternity pants (I bought a bunch of them during my last pregnancy and dug them out for this one), but I haven't tried their...

I don't track it to the day, like others said, but I do have an app on my phone so I can easily check it.  I do like to get the weekly "your baby is..." emails so I can tell my other kids.  With my first, I knew practically...

15w 3d and while the "all day sickness" is relenting a little, this is by far the longest I've been sick in a pregnancy.  Hugs to all the sick mamas.  I can't swallow anything, so have been taking no supplements,  but I...

Nothing but sympathy here.  I can't cook either.  My kids are living on box mac n cheese and crackers and take out.  I can't imagine the skunk smell.  I had DH tossing everything in the kitchen due to a sour musty...
