Growing


15 weeks -- and starting to show it.  I considered taking a belly picture a week ago, but I didn't think it looked like anything worth photographing.  Now, seeing this picture, I feel like I've been fooling myself. 

And it's not just my belly -- everything seems to be growing (ugh)!  Except my clothing, of course, and that's been an issue.  I don't think I'm quite ready for maternity clothes -- especially since I always assumed maternity clothing would be cheap.  I mean, you only wear it for a few months, right?  Wrong.  No price cut for mommas-to-be.  So, I'll continue to wrap a hair tie through the button hole of my jeans to make them fit.  That should get me through a little longer.

Other things that are NOT growing:  my time between bathroom visits, feet (no swelling - yet!), my wearable closet, and my energy levels.  Pretty much everything else -- getting bigger.

  2. I personally love the rubber band/hair-tie trick. Got me through just before my 6th month (which was when I met you all in CA). Ask friends, colleagues, church family, etc. for hand-me-downs...usually they're fashionable and in good shape (because as you said, you only wear them for a while).
