bump

So, I have a bump. It was the strangest thing. Wednesday, it's like my jeans just quit working. Tuesday morning fine. Wednesday afternoon, too small. Wednesday was a bad day, but I got to find out exactly how manic tired and hungry I can become if I don't eat lunch. On top of this, I think I ate some cheese that was past its prime, so Thursday because "recovery day". I had to bail on a 'finish moving and dinner' thing a friend was giving at her new apt so I could curl in a ball on the couch and eat rice. I felt so much better on Friday that I cut off more of my hair.

I learned a lot about pregnantlady (TM) clothing. I learned what a roll panel is, how the sizing works, and that most maternity shops and consignment shops do not carry plus sizes. I was pleased to find JCP lets you order sizes online, though they don't care the plus sizes in the stores. There was also places like Lane Bryant, and a couple of web stores, but most of them were much more expensive. I did find this great faq on plus-pregnancy clothing. Very helpful. And I saved time not having to wander the denver metro area looking at clothing that didn't fit. You have to understand, clothing and me have never really gotten along. I have exactly 1 pair of pants that I can wear in public, though I placed some emergency orders at JCP, which will hopefully be here before the weekend. We are off to a baptism in Pittsburgh at the end of the week, and i'd prefer not to have to walk around in capri's the whole time. :P We are of course jazzed about being back in the old town, even if it is just for a few days. I hope that I will be able to eat some of that great food.

While looking around on the web, I found this mom-shops blog which has a bunch of cool kids stuff. While some of it is kind of trendy, some of it is really gosh-darn cute, like this rolly bug she posted:


Cute, no?
