I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant and work in a business casual office. Here's my favorites from this pregnancy:

​

Loft:

1. These shorts have full sized pockets and are very comfy
   
2. Chinos have full sized pockets and a firm belly band. These were my favorites until the last couple of weeks, now it's a bit too constricting for me. Still love them.
   
3. I had bad luck with the Loft maternity t-shirts. They were too short and didn't have enough room for belly growth
   
4. This dress was great until 8 months, after which is didn't have enough belly room
   
   Ann Taylor:
   
   None of these were actually maternity clothes but they fit through almost the entire pregnancy. Some I sized up on, some I did not.
   
   
5. I have several of the popover shells
   
6. Stepped hem tank fit until ~35 weeks
   
7. Smocked waist dress fits over the bump easily and looks nice. Very lightweight
   
   Amazon:
   
   
8. I have several of this shirt in white (it's opaque!) and grey, they were by far my favorite maternity tees
   
9. This dress but size up, it shrank in the dryer for me.
   
10. This dress is one of my favorites. It looked a bit odd in early pregnancy since the belly was huge, but has been a godsend otherwise. Highly recommend it. Still fits at 37 weeks.
    
    Target:
    
    
11. This dress is ok. Will work well for nursing and is comfortable, but not super fashionable. Good enough for work for me.
    
12. These t-shirts are nice but towards the end of pregnancy have been too short so that my belly sticks out a bit. Very soft.
    
13. This is the belly band I used. I like it and would recommend it if you're wanting one.
    
    I also have some maternity skirts from A Pea in the Pod, they aren't sold anymore but I really like them for work.

Vegetarian here! Morningstar stuff often contains more protein than actual meat, and is really easy to use!

Beef crumbles, red sauce, and pasta

Shepherd's pie (without the cheese)

The brand gardein has orange chicken that's really good with rice.

I'll have to do some searching and send you some simple meals he could eat plus a few of my personal recipes. If you don't cook often it can be difficult to have a vegetarian diet, but most meals will last for days (the Shepherd's pie has about 8 servings) so you won't have to constantly be cooking. I also really recommend [this book] (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Vegetarian-Cookbook-Americas-Kitchen/dp/1936493969)
by America's Test Kitchen, there are so many great recipes and they mark which ones are vegan, which are quick to make, etc. And they also do a great job of breaking down the basics like how to use different types of proteins, prep ingredients, etc.

I know it's probably daunting but you got this! It looks harder than it is, give it a couple of months and you'll be a MasterChef (well, maybe not but you will probably have quite a few favorites you'll be able to make from memory!)

I have 2 boys of my own. They're 100% car loving, nerf weapon wielding, stereotypes.

I'm also a believer in being a strong woman and it being ok to wear a pink tutu while doing it. ;) I usually have my kid pick out a gift, then I also pair it with a book like one of these. In fact, my two favorite go to books are girls who rocke the world and Girls think of everything

It’s not as gross as I️ thought and honestly amazing. But, another parent group told me about this and it seems even better! The vacuum piece seems crazy but my research tells me it’s actually the best thing to clear them out.

I have a few awesome teen gift ideas, I will post some links to for you. Im sort of know as giver of random awesome things to my neice and nephews. If you can give me some ideas of what he likes I can try to track down more specific things.

These will all be through amazon because its easiest but they can be found elsewhere.

I would recommend the fertility awareness method if you didn't have a kid on the way. When practiced correctly it's a really effective method of non-hormonal birth control, but it relies on a fairly regular sleep schedule, which ain't gonna happen when baby arrives.

You don't need to make this decision now. Being pregnant could be making you feel all the feels and it could make you not want to be pregnant again. This decision can wait. It's great that your hubby presented it as a question and a conversation rather than a declaration.

I was scouring Amazon for a nice looking container to hide a poop spatula when I came across this nice, ceramic, personalizable utensil crock: http://www.amazon.com/Miles-Kimball-Personalized-Burgundy-Stoneware/dp/B008FOX9R4/

The rest is obvious. Merry Christmas, kid. You're welcome.

I saw this recommended elsewhere and picked it up. It held me and surprisingly well for the price.

Its decorate your own car, sorry. Still fun though.

Im not sure for girls since i only have a boy haha

Looks great! I love the Klutz book of braids for simple directions and advances techniques. My copy is a little dated, but maybe they have edited since the 90's.

Here's a link to the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Braids-Bows-Book-Instruction-Klutz/dp/B000W0C2FO

I have this little rubber drain plug that I use during every shower and haven't had to snake my drain in a few months. It's a dream come true!
Here's something really similar to what I have.

Amazon

Brought it in to Walmart and they did it for me :)

That sucks! Two things:

(There are cheaper versions, or just roll up a small towel and shove it in there)

And love this system
