Twenty!

How Far Along: Halfway there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Size of Peanut: Banana - I eat one almost every day, so this is appropriate this week!

Total Weight Gain: Still unclear, still don't care!  As far as how my body looks and feels right now, I am about as happy as I could possibly be about where I'm at.

Maternity Clothes: Okay so I guess the shopaholic problems never really go away even when you're pregnant.  With both pregnancies, I seemed to reach a point where I think I'm done and then suddenly I realize that I *need* something else.  I had been noticing for a few weeks months that my regular boots were getting kinda tight on my man calves (thanks, Milt).  I ignored it and decided that I would just shove my calves into them all winter anyway.  Well, last week my work went to the Thursday night Bengals game.  I had my whole outfit picked out, complete with LAP (leggings as pants, thank you Jen Hatmaker) and went to put on my boots when the worst possible thing happened: my boots did not zip.  Like, they wouldn't even go on and feel like my legs were splurging out the top.  They straight up did. not. fit.  So on the way to the Bengals game, wearing my Uggs in 70 degree weather (ain't nobody got time to be changing their outfit at the last minute because their boots don't fit), I got on 6pm.com and impulse purchased the $32 wide calf boots I put in my cart about 6 weeks ago.  They arrived this week and I can't begin to tell you all how happy I am that I made this purchase.  The fact that I even thought I could a) fit in my regular boots until March and/or b) go all winter without boots is 150% laughable.  So here I am in my wide calf, cheap as hell, yet incredibly comfortable boot glory.  I'm not even sorry about it.

I also may have been suckered by Gap's friends and family event and purchased 2 sweaters and some maternity jeggings, but that's neither here nor there.  Bye.

Nineteen

How Far Along: 19 Weeks - almost halfway there!

Size of Peanut: Mango

Total Weight Gain: Unknown.  I'm still feeling pretty good in my current size maternity pants so hopefully any weight gain has gone straight to my stomach and/or chest rather than resting permanently on my ass and thighs like usual.

Maternity Clothes: Speaking of maternity pants, why does every pair of maternity pants I own have to be a lint magnet?  It's like these stupid maternity companies make me buy ugly pants with no butt pockets that make my ass look like something from a 1980s commercial (yes, none of my work pants have butt pockets - wtf), and then to top it off they make it out of a material that attracts every bit of lint that floats through the air.  I never have this problem with my regular work pants or leggings, but every pair of maternity pants I own needs a lint roller every 10 minutes.  Even my workout capris that should attract no lint whatsoever have lint all over them!
