Maternity Pants

Well, I am officially in desperate need of maternity pants. Pants that fit me just last week (snuggly) I am now having difficulty buttoning. I have to resort the the rubber-band trick. I went shopping (shopping shopping and MORE shopping) for maternity pants to make the whole thing official. What I found out was that apparently I didn't get the memo, but if you plan to be pregnant, you need to find a way to have a 32" inseam. No more. No less. Every pair of pants I tried on made me look like I was waiting for the great flood. It was really quite frustrating, especially after trying on just one pair of dress pants when I realized how amazingly dreamy and COMFORTABLE they were! I want to wear them forever (I'm going to regret that statement post-pregnancy I'm sure). It's like dressy looking pajama pants, I could seriously SLEEP in them!

I DID find some maternity jeans in long cut (2 different pairs, on SALE, yeah!). I had to mail order long cut dress pants (which is what I need the very most). So here's hoping they fit. My only other option if those don't fit is these wonderful pants I found at Macy's that look oh-so-sassy...but come with an oh-so-sassy price tag as well. Yikes! Maybe I can get though a whole pregnancy with just one pair of dress pants...

The latest news isn't quite news yet. It's "I think" news. I think that I might have maybe probably felt the baby move...maybe. I was laying (lying...I never know which is the proper form on that one) on the couch not even thinking about it when I felt the slightest movement in my lower belly, just a little flicker really. It was enough to get my attention OFF of what I was doing on the computer and ONTO my belly, focusing REALLY REALLY hard to try and feel more movement. But, that was it. Haven't felt anything since then either. I'm really looking forward to that being a regular thing. How cool!

Friday is my 20 week ultrasound (I'll be 19 weeks, 3 days). I am SO EXCITED. I want it to be Friday right now. I can't wait to see how much this little one has grown since our last ultrasound at 8 weeks 3 days.
