14 Weeks

I am in the second trimester, which seems just as surreal as this whole pregnancy has felt so far!! Mr. EB and I have been taking weekly pictures from 13 weeks on, better late than never, and that seems to help me feel like I am pregnant. I have picked a midwife whom I click with and I have my first appointment tomorrow afternoon that I am excited to hear the heartbeat. Today there was a warehouse sale for Lilac Clothing, a maternity clothing line, that I drug my mom to so I could get some cheap pants and shirts that I think will get me through the pregnancy. I hate shopping so doing so among buckets of clothing and things not in order doesn't make for a confident shopper. Luckily I knew what size pants I should get but wasn't too sure on the tops, they will at least fit me at the moment! I think I am mostly over morning sickness but have had a few throw-up days in the past two weeks. I got the flu and couldn't keep anything down but I am on the up from that as well. Oh and I went to the Endocrinologist yesterday and had my Thyroid checked and they called to let me know everything looks good and to retest in 6 weeks. So all is well here and I am enjoying the journey!!

What to Wear?

First off, here is a quick update:

Week 18
Pretty uneventful, except telling everyone, "It's a Boy!" and "No, we will not be telling his name until he is born."

Week 19
I felt him MOVE! The only way I can describe it is a fish in my stomach.... you know how a fish flops when taken out of water, that is what my son feels like. Nice image huh?


As long as the weather doesn't reschedule a work event Saturday, I will be going to a Bachelorette Weekend in Nashville, TN the first weekend in February. I have really been looking forward to it, so I hope I'll still be able to go.

Now for the question of the week, what to wear? I am still able to comfortably wear my normal size 10 clothes, even with my nice, cute, new little baby bump. ALTHOUGH, if I wear a belt, my pants feel uncomfortable when I sit down and if I don't wear a belt, my pants fall down when standing up and a wind up stepping all over the bottom of my pants, POO!

I want to dress comfortable and cute next weekend with the thought that I may have grown by then, so I'm THINKING of running this weekend to purchase a couple pair of maternity type pants... What do you think? I'm thinking a pair of black dress pants and a pair of nice denium trousers. But THEN, I have to figure out what to wear for the tops! Most of my clothes are still packed up until we find our house, so that means, I may have to purchase tops too!

Here are a few things I've found online, tell me what you think...

Friday Night Dinner Out (and I'm sure that they will do some partying too)

Faith, Love, and BABY FLUTTERS! (finally)
