It's about time.

My pants are getting tighter and I think it might be time to brave the maternity departments at Target and Kohl's (I heard these are the best, and when I say best, I mean most affordable). I'm really not looking forward to paneled pants or elastic waist bands, but this definitely in my future, so I might as well embrace it! At least I'll be comfy and that is certainly something I can't say for myself right now. I'm down to my last pair of "fat" pants and they are FILLED. yuck. Luckily, Ryan keeps assuring me that it's okay and I'm supposed to get big. It's hard to accept though.

Luckily, Kairee already ventured into the maternity section at Kohl's and has already warned me that it must have been designed by a man because they put the huge tent-wear (ie. maternity clothes) next to the skimpy, see through lingere. Good thinkin' guys. I think they just want to remind us to start thinking about getting right back into shape once this kid pops out! ugh. At least I've been forewarned about this dreadful floorplan so I can go in with my blinders.

Anyways, I think I've mentioned it on here, but my best friend Kairee is also pregnant, just 1 week behind me. It's already been a lot of fun, I can only imagine what the next 6 months (omg- 6 months!? this is going to FLY!) will be like going throught this together. I'm sad that she's all the way out in CO and I'm here, but we talk or email daily and have been eachother's sounding boards through this first trimester. It's nice to have someone to call who's going through the same thing and ask if "XYZ" is normal, or something weird/funny that is happening. We haven't told the rest of our girlfriends yet (except for Lisa!), since we're waiting until we're both out of the first trimester, but we're SO excited to let them in on our news and we have a funny e-card and and even funnier poem that we're going to send them all in the next couple of weeks to announce. I am just so excited to share this experience with her.
