This weekend was jam packed with events to post about. Yard Sales and how effective signs that say “FREE!” are at getting rid of merchandise. The apartment fire at our complex that was so close I could see it and the 10 firetrucks from LilZ’s bedroom window. No one was hurt but it was all too close for comfort. I could discuss the day of painting yesterday (water-based paint, ventilation, frequent breaks, save the lectures, I’m a big girl who’s not in the mood) and how it gave LilZoot tons of self confidence and pride while reducing me to a slobbering emotional breakdown convinced that she can never do anything right and that her husband is perfect (those were good times). Or - I could discuss how I have officially grown out of all of my clothes that even resemble non-pregnant attire. My bulge is big enough now that people are noticing. But I’m still not ready to purchase maternity clothes.
Unfortunately? I’m too physically and emotionally drained to get into the details or post pictures of any of it. And did I mention I’m huge? And that I’m hungry? As always.
That bulge, the beautiful one that will allow you so much time in the future to be blog hopping at 5am as you rock it’s “i wanna rock and roll all night” little butt to sleep AGAIN. That bulge?
I didn’t buy maternity clothes until the end, because if I bought maternity clothes, people might think I’m showing off, or I might wake up atnd it wouldn’t be real….so I did a lot of rubberband through the buttonhole and skirt wearing……but there are some cute, maternity clothes that are not the big belly pouch now….they were sorta like sweatpants, which was nce cuz I’m stilling wearing some of them….14 mths later. ahem…
I’m glad you’re doing well, and you should know how much we think you’re BEAUTIFUL. The bulge? Extra pretty.
Target has a really cute line of maternity clothes…I’ve never had opportunity to use them, but in the ads, they don’t look like your typical maternity clothes.
It’s hard to be pregnant and move and do all you’re doing. You look great, just rejoice at the reason you’re growing.
Oh, just days after my first was born, there was a fire one night across the street! And Aaron wasn’t home! And I was hormonal and alone with a newborn, and did I mention the fire across the street?!
Oh, the Target maternity clothes? Are cute. And on sale this week. 20% off (on the Liz Lange line only, but that’s the cute stuff!)
Anyway, feel better!
I love it!! You can borrow some of my big, fat pants. They’re not going to fit pretty soon b/c I’m working on trying to gain sympathy weight for you. I’m such good friend like that…
