Shopping

Oh, the joy of maternity clothes... I finally broke down and really went shopping yesterday for some maternity tops because I was down to about 3 shirts of mine and a couple of Josh's, none of which were cute! I had about an hour to do some shopping yesterday, so I headed to Motherhood Maternity store. NOT the best time I've ever had! There were some really cute things there, but I put them on and it was not so nice... they either were approximately tent sized (and shaped) and made me look like a whale, or they were built for those really skinny people who don't show anywhere but their stomach- which would not be me! :) Plus, the cheapskate in me has serious issues with paying $15 for a shirt that will last me maybe 6 months. I think maternity clothes should be half price all the time! All that being said, I did manage to find 3 cute shirts to buy... well, 2 cute shirts and polo. :) Unfortunately, I just tried on my jeans (which fit last Friday when I wore them last) and they are definitely not fitting anymore. So I guess I'm back to maternity shopping, because now I only have 2 pairs of pants that fit! Oh, the joy of maternity clothes! :)

In other, really exciting baby news... I felt (I think) the baby move last weekend, and again today. It was a really cool feeling. I wish Josh could feel it, too! I don't really know if that's actually what I'm feeling, but I also think that some of the random sensations I've been having are baby movements, too, I just don't know it. We're very excited for our appointment next week... we'll get to see the baby moving on the ultrasound and, of course, find out whether it's a boy or a girl! My class keeps asking me if I know, and today they asked if they could help name it. Let's see, the last time I let my class name something it was a fish and they named it SpongeBob (which was actually not the worst of the suggested names). Don't think they'll be helping with this one! :) They were really sweet today because it's Teacher Appreciation Week, and they bring in different themed gifts everyday (we have such supportive parents) and today was baby gift day, so they all brought in cute baby stuff. It was so much fun! I had to laugh, though, because one of the boys in my class said "These presents dont' look like they're for YOU!" I couldn't disagree, but I was still really excited to get them all! How fun!
