Ok...so today I got dressed for work thinking, "I'll just wear my super comfy black dress pants today." PROBLEM. Those super comfy black dress pants will now only zip up 1/2 way--never mind trying to button them. Thank GOD for big tent-like shirts and belly bands. I never thought I would be so big so fast!!! I'm absolutely certain that it isn't all baby, no matter how much better everyone else tries to make me feel. I am aware I should be growing, but had NO IDEA it would happen like this--overnight!
I keep hoping I can stretch my wardrobe (literally) until the end of the school year--only 3 1/2 weeks left. Once I don't have to work, I shouldn't need to worry. I've got plenty of dresses and skirts that can get me through until the next school year starts. I guess I can start wearing those to work too... but I will miss my pants so much! :)
I've still only gained 5-6 pounds (but it feels more like 20-25). Baby Peanut got his/her first presents from students and teachers this week. (Mom took care of the "first presents from anyone" the day I told her the great news--just like everyone would expect she would!!) A sweet work friend brought in a super cute Duckie onesie that has precious ducky feet and flip over hand covers, and an "I love mommy" outfit. A sweet student brought me a stuffed elephant, whose name is also Peanut, for baby's first toy. I just love how sweet and supportive everyone at school has been. The kids just can't wait to find out if it is a boy or girl. They ask me pretty much every day. Hopefully, Doc will fill us in on 5/24-which is our next visit!
BTW--this week, Peanut is the size of a lemon! 3 1/2 inches long, and 1 1/2 ounces! Last week, he/she was a peach or shrimp... Peach sounds much cuter.
