29 weeks

While I try and avoid putting up pictures that make me look like a beached whale, I have to say that being pregnant makes it IMPOSSIBLE to put up pictures at all with such limitations. So for all who'd like to see me preggo, here goes:
Yeah, those would be my ONLY pair of maternity pants. I thought I'd get away with doing stuff like this:
And I did for a while until I stretched the hair ties to the limit and felt like my pants were about to cut me in half. I then pretty much relied on dresses and skirts until it actually FINALLY got cold here. Then I was stuck wearing running tights underneath my dresses. I've become really cheap and the thought of buying any more maternity clothes does not make me happy. But I am really getting sick of wearing the same things. But I broke down and bought a pair of pants. It's been HEAVEN. I wonder why I waited. That big ol' elastic band is nothing short of miraculous.

Here's a close up of the belly. The stripes aren't doing anything for me, I know. When I wear this shirt my students always say it makes them hungry for peppermint.

Erin, you make one of the cutest pregnant ladies I've seen. You're like Rachel, where it all goes to the tummy and nowhere else.

I, on the other hand, gain weight EVERYWHERE. I think my face is 3x wider.

I put off maternity pants too. And once you get them, they're so wonderful and comfortable. I started wearing mine at 10 weeks with this one. But I think that's because I gained 30 pounds first trimester.
