Yes, as L* put it in my guest book, I have "popped" and it feels great!! I never, in my whole life would have thought that I, fat-neurotic/psycho queen would be excited about hardly fitting into her once baggy pants. My husband is in the field this week and when he gets back he is in for a HUGE (literally) surprise! He loves it though. He told me that he thinks I'll be sexy even while I pregnant...which is probably more than my family wants to hear, but at least he is wonderfully supportive, right? :)

So, the trip to Motherhood yesterday wasn't completely successful, but it sure was fun!!! I decided that next time I go I am bringing #1 my husband and #2 a camera. My husband because I feel better getting more when he is with me and the camera to take some pix for the folks. They have this little pillow there that you strap to your belly to show your tentative size in a few months when you actually start to show. It's great. I'll take some pictures and send them to the parents, they should love that!!

I realized yesterday that I am at the "in between" stage. I can barely squeeze into my regular clothes, but both the baby and I would be much more comfortable in maternity pants, but the maternity clothes are just too big.....AUGH!

There are some WAY cute things though. Being pregnant isn't like it used to be. The "smock look" is no longer the only option we have as far as maternity clothes go. In fact there are some REALLY REALLY fashionable, flattering things there. I was very impressed with the store and the prices aren't bad either. I found a couple of things there, but I put off buying them until Joe was with me. It'll be more fun that way...I'll surprise him with the pillow! :)

The baby was doing acrobatics in my stomach yesterday. S/he (I am not one to call the baby an it) anyway, s/he went from totally stationary to full fledged cart-wheels in a matter of days. I was lying in bed and I actually saw my stomach move!! It was the craziest thing in the world. A friend of mine told me that you pretty much rock your baby to sleep during the day, so at night when you lay down, they are ready to party!! That should be great for the REM sleep!!

Well, I have decided that I am going to do better working out and try not to gain excess wait. I want to be in better shape then I was before, after the baby. So, even though I am not going to kill myself at the gym, I am still going to have at least a half hour of exercise a day. It is better for both me and the baby. There, now that it is in writing, I have to stick to it.....we'll see how that goes!

Off to the gym!!!

Love ya'll!
