Maternity Clothes

Well I finally did it, I went shopping for some new clothes this past weekend. I've been talking about getting some clothes for weeks now, but I don't really like to shop to begin with so shopping for clothes that I'm only going to be wearing for a short period of time was even less appealing. But I made it out! I went to the local mall and hit up the Motherhood store. I ended up getting two pairs of Capri pants and two short sleeve shirts. I love the clothes! The shirts are nice and long which is great! I've been living in t-shirts that barely cover my low rise jeans (which I can no longer wear a belt with...). So it's nice not to have to worry when sitting down / bending over... And the pants have elastic waist bands which are like the best thing ever! I love the elastic waist band, makes my hourly bathroom visits much better!

I also wanted to answer some of the questions we've been getting (btw thanks for all the comments! It's so neat to see y'all are reading our blog!!).

Do you know the gender? Nope, we're actually not going to find out - it's going to be a surprise! Our big ultrasound (where we could find out) is on 9/20.

What my work plans? The plan is to work as long as I can. I guess it all depends on how the rest of the pregnancy goes but I hope to be working until I go into labor. Afterwards the plan is go back to work after 2 - 3 months. I can take up to 3 months off but I only get paid (i.e. take sick time) for the first 6 weeks. I'm thinking I'll probably end up taking the whole 3 months because I won't be ready to go back after just 2.

Are you working on a nursery? The plan is to turn our current guest room into the baby room, and move the guest room into whats now the office and build a desk in the nook of extra space in our kitchen to put our office stuff in. :-) So right now we're working on the desk, the rest is kind of a chain reaction! The room is already painted a nice light blue and we're going to leave it that color. We'll probably get some light green & yellow bedding and curtains to go in there too. But that's about as much as we've thought about it so far.

Wow, this might be my longest post yet! We'll I'll stop now before it gets any longer!
