Goodbye pants... Goodbye shirts...

Well folks - today is a sad day. I am officially HUGE and have outgrown my favorite maternity jeans and a couple shirts. I knew this day would come... but it still sucks. These were the cute jeans that didn't look like maternity jeans - real waist and all! But now, they pinch my waist too much and are banished to the bottom of the drawer. So sad. And last week, I had to come to terms with the fact that I ain't getting any smaller and I went out and bought 3 new shirts in the next size up. How depresing it is to buy clothes to "grow into" when you are an adult. I mean, that's how you shop when you're a child!

HOWEVER (I like howevers), we have hit the 30 week mark and are coming down the home stretch (literally)! Other than the wicked insomnia and almost constant backache, I can't complain too much. I am healthy and baby is healthy. Things are starting to come together too... we have the crib & bedding and almost everything we need to set-up the nursery. Still need a few key items but we have a few more weeks before we really need to pull it all together.

We met with our doula again last weekend and have started planning for labor. I'm still calm as a clam and am so happy that she will be there to assist Chris and I. I wonder how long my "no fear" attitude will really last. We'll see.... :)
