[quote=Anonymous]I love the due date list!

Peanut, since we're almost due date twins, I'll chime in and say I'm up five pounds so far--all gained in the last week!  Awesome.  I was up three pounds at 12 weeks, then back down to pre-pregnancy weight at 14 weeks, and then up five yesterday.  I'm chalking it up to the awesome Italian dinner my husband and I had Saturday night, rather than some sort of worrisome trend. ;^)  But, yeah, that was not what I wanted to see.  I think weight can be all over the map early on, between hormones and water retention, etc. etc., so unless you've really lost a lot, I wouldn't worry.  Easier said than done, I know.

And yes, step away from the Google, as 11:45 said!  Also much easier said than done.

Raspberry--and anyone else looking for maternity clothes--I got two pair of pants from the Gap that I absolutely adore: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6026&vid=1&pid=426238012  I wore the pink ones on Friday to work, and got a ton of compliments.

I can still fit into my low-rise jeans, but these are just too cute not to wear, and also much more comfortable.  I'm starting to get a little belly, but mostly at night after dinner.  Otherwise, I don't look much different.  I also got these skinny jeggings (though they're really just very stretchy jeans) from Old Navy, and love them: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5852&vid=1&pid=545333002  Will probably buy in another color, too.

Bonus about ON/Gap: all the 30% off sales (35% off today!).  I pick out what I want and then wait until they go on sale.  I've also checked out Wiggle Room's collection (consignment kids and maternity store in Bethesda), but haven't been hugely impressed so far.  I'm looking mostly at tops, though, and it's a lot of stuff from Motherhood.  The dresses and work clothes seem to be a bit better.

Back to work!
