Lately my wardrobe has been in a constant state of crisis. I have very few weather-appropriate things that still fit and I refuse to buy anything else because I have so much maternity stuff already, it's just for warmer times!
So, I exhausted my work clothes for the week and had planned to wear my maternity jeans today (it's casual Thursday). I get up this morning and find that my jeans aren't on top of my shelf where I left them. I discover that my hubby, in a very sweet effort to help, put them in with a load of wash... and forgot to put that load in the dryer. I am out of maternity options and time, so I reach for my pre-pregnancy jeans. They're the pair that by the end of the day always gave me a baggy butt because they stretched out, so I figured that'd work. Turns out when you gain 19lbs. your size 6 jeans don't really fit the same. I reach for my belly band that slips over the open fly on pants in this situation and nope, that's in the wash too. Sweet. So now, I'm wearing my too-tight pants that are digging into my hips like none other, and a long tube top that is really restricting my ability to move and breathe freely (don't worry, I've got a sweater on over that), but at least I'm clothed and the open fly is covered. This may end up being the longest, most uncomfortable day at work ever. You think wardrobe issues that cause pain and discomfort could count as a reason to go home sick?? :)
On the plus side, we're 27 weeks in and I'm still feeling pretty darn good. A lot of books/websites say we're in the third trimester too which is pretty exciting. Little Dylan now has an 85% liklihood of surviving outside of the womb if something were to happen. It's so reassuring to hear stats like that. The belly has definitely "popped" and there's no longer any question to ANYONE that there's a bun in this oven. We forgot (gasp) to take a belly picture last week, but we took one last night and I'll post it when I get home today. There's a pretty noticable difference. I predicted a belly-button pop in the next 3 weeks, but I'm thinking it may be sooner than that. We shall see!
