Okay, so I rarely post over the weekends anymore. But I spend so much time on the computer during the week that oftentimes, come weekend, sitting at the ‘puter is the last thing I want to do. You’ll forgive me, right?

So I’m rapidly running out of clothes to wear. Yes. Up until this point, I’ve been very hesitant to buy any maternity clothes. With all the spotting and worrying and nervousness and running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I would have felt extremely foolish if I had purchased maternity clothes and worn them when there was no viable baby to be had. Of course, now we know that there is a viable baby to be had. But I still have nothing to wear.

Frankly, I should have been more prepared for this. I knew that last time, as my second pregnancy, I started to poke out a lot sooner than I did the first time around. This time, it seems to be even SOONER. Remember the button popping off my FAT jeans? Now its getting to the point that even elastic waistband pants aren’t very comfortable unless they’re VERY loose. Of course, I also have this weird thing when I’m pregnant. Ever since the first pregnancy, I cannot stand anything to be the slightest bit tight across my waist. That goes for shorts, pants, underwear, skirts. If it is snug, I just cannot handle it. Its very strange. Hence K giving me strange looks for parading around the house with shorts and pants down around my hips so as not to lay across my belly.

You’re probably thinking to yourself, “Why doesn’t that girl just go out and get some maternity shorts?” Well, not that easy. Plainly put, now is not the time, budget-wise, to be buying anything that doesn’t relate to our survival. Actually, most months are like that, now that I think about it. I blame the gas prices. ($2.53 here in Reno! :-o) And business has been a little bit slow, design-wise (not that I’m complaining, after last month!). So we’re conserving our resources. Just to make sure we get through the month comfortably and not have to eat peanut butter and jelly for the entire last week of the month before K gets paid.

But you better believe that once I get some extra spending $ that I will be hitting the sales and finding some shorts and t-shirts (another commodity I’m sorely lacking). Elsewise, I’ll have to leave the house nude and NO ONE wants that.
