I Love the Way You Move...

So, last night hubby & I were enjoying a Big Cheese Pizza glutton bowl when all of a sudden I felt a funny sensation in my belly. Hmmm...a little fluttering, gurgling. For a moment, I thought my stomach was growling, so I put the tv on mute and sat very still...Flutter, flutter...2 or 3 minutes of this feeling when I realized what had happened. The little peanut was moving! Either baby really loves/hates pizza or it was trying to say, "Hi, mom & dad! I'm in here!". Of course I promptly burst into tears and called my parents with the exciting news. Hubby sat on the couch and laughed and I think even got a little teary. This is what I love...all of these "firsts". I love that it was hubby & I at home with the dogs, experiencing this together as a family, then sharing the news with everyone. I would bet I woke up 482 times last night, laying very still, just to see if I could feel it again. I sit at my desk today (so obviously busy if I have time for blogging) and occasionally, I go into statue mode to check the movement. I know it will probably be days before it happens again, but I'm still hopeful that baby will "talk" to me again soon.

So, I had an errand to run at Target last night and caved in on the maternity t-shirts. It was imperative that I had the proper shirt to match my leopard print shoes today and none of the ill-fitting clothes in my closet cut the mustard. I found a darling white tee with delightful capped sleeves! Success! It fits quite perfectly over my rubber-banded jeans (it's Friday!) and has the perfect amount of fabric for my growing belly. I love that it's fitted and my belly is starting to peek out over my jeans. Today I feel like showing it off. Screw those a-holes who think, wow, that Mary, she's sure packed it on! I'm pregnant & proud today. My spunky supervisor even took notice of my "gargantuan breasts" - her words, not mine.

This weekend I will be celebrating the big 2-9. An age I plan on staying for some time. I'll be doing a little shopping and I hope to find some little gems to fit my ever-changing body. Hope you all have a delightful holiday!
