Gotta Keep The Girls From Falling

It's Monday already! I'm looking forward to taking my belly pic tomorrow because my tummy has grown quite a bit over the last week. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what I mean! I'm here today to write about my first experience with... MATERNITY CLOTHES! Yes, that's how much my belly has grown. Everything has gotten way too tight around Baby Breaux so it's time to loosen things up a bit. It seems early for maternity clothes and I probably wouldn't need them just yet if I hadn't gained weight before my pregnancy, but it's never too early to be comfortable! One thing is certain, I definitely would not have bought them so early if my Dad and Robin had not been so kind as to surprise me with the $$$ for them.

So Saturday morning Joshua and I started off the day by meeting up with a girl in the area who was selling a 42 piece lot of maternity clothes. My goal was to buy as many pieces as possible with the money. All of her tops were for winter, and all of her bottoms were too small! After that didn't work out, Joshua and I argued a little bit about where to go next. You know, it concerned him so much because he will be wearing the clothes too.

Finally, we ended up at Target because I had been eyeing the clothes there before I even got pregnant. They had a great little collection of things and I ended up with 3 tops and 5 bottoms. But we weren't finished yet. Part of the deal was that Robin really wanted me to buy a "good, supportive bra" to keep my girls from hitting the floor. I never had to worry about that and I rarely wear a bra so I felt that I needed to speak to someone who actually knew a little something about the subject. Joshua thought otherwise. After another discussion between the two of us, I eventually got my way again after he couldn't find a bra in the store that said anything about "support" on the tag (sigh). So to Dillard's we went!

The bra thing ended up being pretty easy. I went up to the woman who worked in the section and basically said, "I never wear a bra and now I'm pregnant. What do I need?" She handed me a bra, and I tried it on. Wow, I've already grown a whole cup size. I grabbed a bigger size, tried it on, and now I have a new bra. Yay!

So now if you see me around, I should be wearing maternity clothes and a bra! Thanks Dad and Robin!

By the way, I'm over 9 weeks now so Baby Breaux is now a fetus and no longer an embryo!! Woo hoo!
