Function follows form

So this weekend I went to Old Navy & got some pants and shirts (not preggo, just big) and I'm so excited!! I finally feel like I'm wearing clothes that fit! I have two new shirts that go over my belly and my maternity pants (woo-hoo!). I have one pair of maternity pants that fit well (the others are too big still), the pants I bought this weekend (not maternity, but "low rise" and a size too big so I think they will fit for a little while), and a couple of pairs of bibs that fit. I'm a little flustered because most of my shirts don't work now because they aren't long, but the maternity shirts are just enormous and tend to make me look ultra pregnant -- I feel like I'm wearing a moomoo!

In other news, we went to the mall and I ran into a girl I haven't seen in about 4 years -- she has two new kids and I told her we were almost four months and she was totally surprised -- although when she told her husband (who I've never met before), he said "oh yeah, I saw them walking around earlier and figured she was expecting." So I think I'm officially in the "is she or isn't she?" stage.

I'm getting a little nervous about my weight -- I "bottomed" out this weekend on the scale. Although I was hardly at my minimim weight to start (I'm 5'1" and was about 136 to start), I'm now at 130... and I'm in my 15th week (I will be 16 weeks on Wednesday). Shouldn't I be gaining by now? I have been eating and keeping in my vitamins, but why do I keep going down? Oh well, I guess that's just how it goes.

And NOW for the weird preggo symptom of the day (warning, this could be way too much information). I'm leaking. That's right, those bumps on my chest formerly mostly just an annoyance have now grown to unreasonable proportions have begun to function. I mean, I guess it's a good sign that they are working, but seriously, THERE ISN'T A BABY TO EAT IT YET! It's a cloudy but almost clear, watery liquid that the books say is called colostrum and is produced before you get milk. Yeah. Really weird. I read in the books that this sometimes happens in your third trimester --- but I just started my second! What is going on here! I'm going to have to talk to the doctor about this one.

I talked to Mom yesterday and she hoped we had changed my mind about finding out the sex because she tried to go shopping and firmly announced that if we don't find out "we're going to get a lot of ducks" because there is very little gender neutral clothing. Well, sorry to say Mom, but it's not going to happend. Loud and clear folks, we are NOT finding out the sex of the baby before he or she is born. I know it makes shopping a pain, but that's what David and I have decided and we're both very happy with our decision.

Hope all is well :)
