Pregnancy Drama

Yesterday morning I spent close to an hour trying to find something to wear. I was just going to the treehouse museum for a field trip with Kaitlyn. What I was wearing really should not have been a big deal. Yet it was agonizing trying to find something that looked flattering on me. After hopelessly trying on every pair of jeans I own I opened up the box of maternity clothes I'd dug out of the basement only to decide I'm not big enough for those yet. So I gave up and threw on the only pair of pants that still fit (ugly brown corduroy) and headed out the door in spite of what I looked like. To add insult to injury, Kaitlyn picked that moment to say, "Mom, you're not as skinny as you used to be."
We did have a good time once we got there. After all, I suppose I'll fit in my jeans again some day. Kaitlyn made a darling pig in their play of The Three Little Pigs.

  1. Good luck! Unfortunately I still feel this way. I am finally caving in and buying a few things so I am not so frustrated every time I want to look nice. Babies are so worth the frustration. We have the rest of our lives to get back into shape and have fun doing it.

  2. Merrilee, this made my day! Ashley was really concerned a couple days ago that my tummy was getting too big and squishing the baby. 5-year-olds just have a way of sayin' it, huh? :) You're right about babies being worth it though, huh? And I have no doubt you'll be running marathons and looking like the fittest mom I've ever met again way too soon after your baby is born while I'm still looking pregnant for many months after. ;)
