Can we say the baby bump has finally arrived? Really I think it's just my rib cage that has exploded! I'm down to two pairs of jeans that fit comfortably (I haven't even attempted my dress pants). Thankfully, where I work when the weather gets cold, jeans are a staple around here. I may attempt to use a belly band with them after the New Year. If not I'll see if I can let some "nice" pajama pants slide as work attire. We are pretty casual, but I'm not sure if I'd be pushing my luck!
Everything is still going really well. I'm happily "growing" and looking more and more pregnant each day. My "waddle" as Chris refers to it, is becoming even more distinct. I can't explain to him (or most other males) how sitting in a car for a little as 10 minutes and then trying to walk around the mall makes me so stiff and uncomfortable to even walk normal. He just laughs at me. In his defense I'm sure it is quite the site :) Can't wait until I'm even further along, I'm sure I'll be quite the entertainment! Look for the penguin next time your out in shopping :)
As we plan our MILLION mile journey across Iowa and Nebraska to see family, we hope the weather holds steady and we will have a safe trip. (Note to our family, this is probably the last year we go on this adventure-everyone is always welcome in Wisconsin though! I just don't think that the feasibility of driving 20+ hours round trip with 2 dogs, a cat and a baby will pan out well).We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope to blog next week with the typical stat & bump posts, but if not I'll make up for it after the Holidays!
