11 weeks 4 days- Maternity Clothes

My first effort at buying maternity clothes was pretty disappointing, although I did walk away with two nice bella bands which has helped me stay in all of my pants. Last night while Brian was at school (his last night- woo hoo!!) I decided to try out Motherhood Maternity because I'm starting to run out of long shirts that don't fit too tight and I didn't have anything else to do.

I walked in and was immediately kind of overwhelmed. The store isn't huge, but I just didn't even know where to begin. I was the only gal in there though... and the lady working there was really helpful. She explained my size and that I don't want to buy too much right now because I'll possibly/probably jump a size in just another 2-3 months. I browsed around in the clearance section and found a couple promising shirts. When I tried them on though- they fit the belly just fine- not the boobs! I didn't really think that my bust had increased all that much, but the lady explained that if I was already full chested I should go up a size to accommodate the increased "volume" breasts take on while pregnant. So I moved up to a medium and found 3 shirts to take home. I think I'm definitely going to prefer the traditional maternity clothes, rather than the trendy tight and revealing ones. I am excited for the warm weather to hit already and to get into some capris and sandals! Fortunately capris are all over the place in maternity fashion, so I won't have a problem there. :) So now I have 3 shirts, and perhaps I'll check out other stores in the next few weeks. Fortunately I'm still not in a rush, but I'm starting to notice things are definitely "tighter".

So Brian is done with school (for now)! Yipee, hooray, woo hoo, celebration all around. I'm certainly ready for the weekend. Saturday we are going down to Lexington to get together with some friends, which is always a good time. There will be one if not two babies there to play with and we'll get to share the news with the rest of our friends. Then Sunday we're going to order the counter tops for the kitchen and perhaps look at a new dishwasher...thrilling! Man I wish it were Friday and not Thursday. :)
