24 weeks

I can't believe we only have like 3 months left! Time is flying by! And we still have so much to do, but I know it'll get done.

I think this little guy did some major shifting yesterday because I am now feeling what I believe to be are kicks [since he was head down at our last ultrasound] at the top of my tummy. Yesterday, G and I were sitting in church and I felt the strongest kick so far. I had G put his hand and the baby immediately kicked again. It was crazy! G was floored. He has only felt very soft and mild movements very low. But now it's definitely harder. It trips me out to think how big the baby is getting. I feel him squirming around my entire belly. :)

So I've been thinking, why is that everyone always tells you not to buy a lot of maternity clothes? And what exactly constitutes "a lot" of clothes? I grew out of my non-preggo shirts very early on because they weren't long or flowy. So I bought a few shirts. I think it was maybe 4 or 5. I also have 1 pair of maternity jeans [ok 2, but my gap ones shrunk after getting washed and they're tight now], 1 maternity black pant, and 2 maternity khakis [but they don't count...i'll tell you why]. But now I am finding it sooooo hard to figure out what the hell to wear to work everyday! I'm wearing the same shirts and it's getting pretty friggin hard to get creative.

I gave in and bought 4 new shirts from Old Navy. I bought em online [as the store sucks]. I love all the shirts, but now I find them a bit dressy for work. I mean I use to come in in jeans and a sweatshirt! But I figure, who cares if they're dressy. I should look cute right now. So I'm starting to wear them to work. I also tend to wear my jeans almost everyday. So now I feel I need a second pair [especially since I think I got a defective pair at Old Navy because the elastic is ripping]. But then I get grief for buying more maternity clothes. Sure I'm only gonna be pregnant for 3 more months, but wearing the same shit everyday is getting old! It sucks!

Oh! And the khakis you ask? Well I bough those a month back. I left them at my moms so she could shorten them for me because they were super long as they didn't come in length size. So she finally has and I tried them on today and they fit tight! I mean super tight. Waist, legs, ass. Sucks! I can't return these anymore! I mean sure, khakis stretch a bit and tend to mold to your body, but I seriously doubt they will stretch to the next size up. *sigh* I've obviously gone thru my 2nd sideways expansion. :((

So my question is....how much maternity clothes did you buy or plan on buying?

Please help me justify my next maternity wardrobe update. :-p OMG! And if I grow more....which is very likely obviously...will I need bigger clothes? Oh dear God, please spare me.
