So let me explain…just when I thought I had a grip on my emotions, BOOM! Twice this last week I’ve cried over silly things. I mean, they were sort of silly. Once when my mom called and said she didn’t think she could come after all. I was seriously looking forward to mom/daughter time and at that moment in time, my life. Was. Ruined. I called Brad crying, so we met up for lunch. Sweet man. And Mom came after all. [The real story is that she was rear-ended in Marshall, her car was totaled and she had to wait for a rental. Luckily, she was totally okay and wanted to come so it all worked out. And yes, I felt awful for that selfish moment of crying.] The second time was today when she left. Well, that and I hate moving and really don’t want to.

I know that I should be careful when wishing for a belly, but honestly, it’s a clothes thing. My current clothes still fit but aren’t nearly as comfortable. I’m not quite in maternity stuff so I just feel fat. Yes, it’s for good reason, but still.

I'm still wearing a lot of loose, comfortable clothing so it's hard to tell in some pictures...
