Getting rather round.*Physical differences from last week: My belly is definitely rounding out more, and I'm getting lots of comments at work about it. My co-workers all seem to finally agree that I am, indeed, pregnant. Other than that, no major aches, pains or swelling to report yet.
*What's been on my mind: The better question would be: What isn't on my mind? We're definitely in major nursery-decorating mode. I've been searching high and low for the perfect crib skirt and valance. You'd be amazed how difficult it is to find a reasonably priced, solid color crib skirt (everything has to have an animal or a pattern on it, evidently) or a window valance that doesn't come up just a tad too short for our window. But I will persevere!
*What I'm looking forward to: Another week of growing a baby (and a belly)! Honestly, right now I'm just trying to enjoy this time, where I've got energy and feel good and can take time to get our lives ready the little guy.
*Other random thoughts: I am still having a nightmarish time finding maternity clothes that fit me well. I would love to just live in dresses all summer, but everything is either non-work-appropriate or they don't have my size. And my Old Navy just completely got rid of their maternity section (not that it was all that great to begin with, but still). I'm getting pretty frustrated. I still only have one pair of black pants for work and one pair of jean capris, which are kind of baggy. I would kill for a pair of khaki capris that are work appropriate. Shirts aren't too much of a problem, and I have several now that are working great. But the options for the bottom portion of my body are becoming more and more limited with each passing day, as I outgrow all my regular clothes. I've tried Target, Old Navy, Motherhood Maternity and Khols. Oh, and there is no Gap maternity anywhere near me. I did just find out that the H&M store in Scottsdale has a small maternity section, so I'm going to try that. Any other suggestions? I do know from experience that department stores rarely have pants that fit me well pre-pregnancy, so I'm sure it would be the same case now. I cannot order clothes online because since nothing ever seems to fit me, I don't want to have to keep shipping stuff back. Please help.
i did check out my local goodwill- as I had trouble wanting to spend a lot of $ on things that I just wouldn't be using for long. Its hit or miss- but it sounds that way for anywhere you go! Sabreena continues to use her band a LOT!
