This weekend was fun and relaxing. I think Taylor and I needed a little get away. We met up with his family Saturday night and it was really really good! We ate steak and went to see Carolines condo in Fort Worth. Everything turned out well!! So a first happened this past week... A lady in the elevator at school noticed I was pregnant! She was the first to ask me how far along I was (other than people who already know, or who I tell). Anyway, it was pretty exciting because now I feel like I look like I am pregnant rather than a fat cow. Friends and family still dont know what I am having... my mom is super irritated about it.. HAHA! My family thinks its a boy and Taylors family thinks its a girl. I guess we will see soon! So far everything is moving along smoothly this trimester. Its different being pregnant... I notice strollers and babies everywhere I go. I get really hungry all of the sudden. But my hair and nails look fabulous!
So another breakthrough has happened in the past few weeks as well... Its time for Maternity Shopping my friends! I officially cant fit in most of my clothes! I had to resort to my moms flowy tops this weekend because my clothes I packed didnt fit over my belly. My belly band is uncomfortable over my jeans and even though my shirts arent skin tight normally, they sure are now. I want to resort to leggings and dresses to give my belly room to breathe! I know its stupid to say that I feel fat because I am well aware that I have a child growing inside me. I am supposed to "get fat" and have a belly but I am just SO NOT used to it. I mean, I understand the feeling of being bloated, but usually just a little bit of "suck in, turn to the side" action does the trick. With a baby, there is no sucking in! So I have to get used to my growing belly, and its still small! It is exciting when people notice though. At least then I dont feel like I have a beer gut!
Things I miss:
-Eating raw salmon.. Yum SUSHI!
-Sleeping comfortably on my stomach
-Rigorous Exercise
-Excessive amounts of caffiene
-WINE, and other alcoholic beverages
-Sleeping through the night without having to pee a zillion times
-Not smelling everything all the time
-Being able to fit comfortably in my normal clothes
-Staying up past 11 without saying "its bedtime!"
Ok, time for work!
Love,
