Now everyone knows why I don't need anything from VIP! It would rip in half :(
 
Oh well....I give up! I don't NEED anything right now....I was just hoping to get some good deals! We'll just have to wait and see what the new company has to offer! I'm sure it will be better. I was never impressed with VIP's offerings anyway. They didn't have alot to choose from clothing wise if you ask me.
 
What horror?! I see NO horror.
 
You know what's funny? I ALMOST placed an order with VIP earlier today. :rolleyes: Like, a couple hours ago. I waited because I wanted to see what y'all said about the tote.

When T&C got dropped as a vendor, I had bought a huge order the night before... and most of the stuff I ordered had gone on discount!

T&C.....Town and Country! That's the name of the other vendor! I remember ordering from them eons ago. I wondered what happened to them. How long has it been since they quit associating with PC??
 
I am very thankful that I am all belly and have no stretch marks (YET!). I am as big this time at 6 months as I was when I delivered my other two, so we'll see. I am glad that it is all belly, but it makes picking things up off the floor VERY difficult!

I still get emails from them, I liked the stuff I got from them when they were still a vendor.

Oh, shutup, I don't want to hear it, I was a teeny tiny thing, then after my first I got big, didn't lose, then got even bigger after my second, and finally was losing then DH came along, lol. (I don't know if I like that he said if I was any skinnier that he wouldn't have asked me out or not?!) Then thankfully after the third and final brat I was astonished that right after I got out of the hospital I could still fit in the pants I wore before I got preggo. I almost did cartwheels if only I could have moved then, lol.
 
It seems VIP isn't offering a discount on the HWC items. That's a disappointment. :(
 
Gillian, you're still so little! I was a blimp with my first, but I was all belly with my second. But they were still both boys, when I thought they must be different since I was carrying them differently.

Lucky you that you don't have strech marks! I said that too, and I got them 2 weeks before my first was born.
 
OMG, I got on!
 
OK, I posted too soon, SO SLOW!
 
I can get on VIP, but every other page I try to look at comes back with an error. Guess I need to wait until 3am!
 
Gillian - Have you been doing anything special to keep from getting stretch marks. We have several products for expectant mom's (tummy butters and such) at the store I work at.
 
Gillian, you are too stinken cute!
Man I wish I looked like that after 3! I was HUMONGO!
 
I don't put anything on my belly and never have. I am sure that it has something to do with the fact that I am only 22 and still have some stretch left. I am scared now that I am going to get them at the very end! I know I will look back in a few weeks and realize I wasn't that big, but right now I feel like I can't get any bigger!!
 
I hope they'll do an exchange for an item I bought at Leadership!

I got the Microsuede jacket thingy and the zipper always separates.

Better get on that...
 
I went on there last night just to check stuff out. Luckily I didn't order. I'll wait till I have a few more bucks and check it out and take my chances.
 
I'm sure the HWC stuff will go on big discount in June. :p

My cousin was so proud she didn't have a 'road map' on her stomach like she says about her mom, then at the very end, I think the last month with her second pregnancy, then she got a couple more with the twins.
 
That terrifies me! I am hoping that I won't get them at all! I am going to be mad if they show up right at the end!

Yeah I'm excited as well. The deals aren't all that great but I'll take a discount. THe ribbon tote that a lot of you were buying, well it was $25, now $15!! I'm buying it now!!! If the darn site would work.:rolleyes:

Ugh! I just bought it at $25 last week!!!
Waahhhhh!
 
I didn't get stretch marks until AFTER my son was born. About a month later they showed up. Bizarre!
 
Gillian~

Your bump is sooo cute!
I miss being pregnant!
:)
 
I used to always say AHHH, pregnant women are so cute, but then I became pregnant and vowed I would never say it again, lol.
 
HMMM, all this conversation about pregnancy and sretchmarks from a thread about VIP, you thread hijackers! LOL
 
VIP is SOOOOO S L O W!

I guess I'll have to try later at like midnight when I'm still up. :)
