Ok, so boredom has finally overcome at work. I was busy for a few days then it slowed down to a crawl today. My four-day weekend was really nice and productive. DH and I cleaned out our storage area down below. Basically, we separated stuff into piles of stuff going in the trash, stuff going to goodwill, and stuff that we keep. We had a lot of junk down there that we had been holding on to for some reason or another. The nerd in me was sad to throw away all of my notes, exams, and readings for school, but it was time to let go. It felt good to get rid of all of junk and the storage area is much better organized and ready for stuff that we will have to move out of office to make room for a nursery.

I drove out Saturday morning to suburbia to look at some maternity clothes that I had seen on craigslist. The lady was offering over 30 pieces of clothing for $100, which is an awesome deal. She was nice enough and had 3 kids (one stepdaughter). Her little baby was almost one year old and adorable. Her other son was 17, so the clothes spanned a long time. Some of the clothes were not things that I would wear especially this one pair of jeans that were total mom jeans (we put those in the goodwill pile). But the 5 pairs of work appropriate pants alone were worth the money. So I paid the money and left (there was little to no chance that I wasn’t going to buy them considering I had to drive 50 min to get there). The rest of the weekend passed uneventfully. We went to a friend’s place Sat night for some drinks, snacks, and football.

So baby related stuff, I weighed myself the other day and it looks like I’ve gained about 6 pounds, which is fine. I guess it’s a little more than other woman, but I’m comfortable with it and my doctor was fine with it the last visit. I’m not quite fitting in maternity clothes yet, but I have been wearing them. My jeans are pretty tight and uncomfortable, but when wearing the one pair of maternity jeans I’ve bought they tend to sink down and won’t stay up. So I’m in the in-between stage, I guess. I really just want my stomach to get bigger so I can wear them. I wore the jeans to target the other day and I think I definitely looked pregnant. I noticed a few people smiled at me, so I guess other people might have noticed as well. Yay! All of these pants though are too long which is a problem. I guess I will cut the jeans. But I will have to get the work pants hemmed. That will be pricey. I wish I had a sewing machine so I could do it myself.

Our next doctor’s appointment is next Friday and I can’t wait just to hear the baby’s HB. We will schedule our big ultrasound as well! I’ve been getting increasing questions regarding the baby’s sex and I keep telling people we’ll know in a few weeks.
