Pants

It's time to buy new pants. Last week I was hoping to go another 2-3 weeks before needing pants but decided this weekend that I can't hold out any longer. It's uncomfortable when I sit and they dig into my gut. I've also hit the last hole on my belt and there's not room for any more expansion. At this rate we very well could have a large baby like the two of us were. Ugh. For those who don't know, Garrett was a 9 pounder, I was 8lb. 14oz. The NP said since we were big there is a good chance this one will be about the same. I'll look on the bright side, Baby is growing! Lafayette has a second hand maternity clothes store that I plan to check out at some point in the next few months. Being sweet like he is, Garrett suggested we take an evening this week and go shopping for new clothes. Hopefully I can find something in between non-pregnant pants and full-out maternity pants.

Baby is nearly 2.5 inches long and will be growing rapidly from now on. My appetite has increased a good deal even though I've started to occasionally feel lousy about an hour after eating. I'm being careful not to eat too much at once but to graze like the cows. I will soon feel like one so I may as well graze like one. I haven't craved unhealthy sweets. They don't sound very tasty right now but fruits and some vegetables have been quite good. If I don't eat something every 2-3 hours, my stomach becomes unhappy and it's hard to eat after that. I've been going through a lot of granola bars and applesauce. I have carrots and low acid fruits on hand to keep me going. This is a great time to be pregnant because all the yummy fresh fruits are coming into season and will be easier to find in the store.

We're continuing to work on odd jobs around the house so we'll have less to worry about come the Fall. Hope everyone is doing well. I don't know how many people are following this. I would love to hear from you so maybe some more Comments could be posted! Happy Monday everyone!
