Halfway there!
8:40 PMGuys, I hit twenty weeks today-- that means I'm halfway through my pregnancy!
Let's all take a moment to celebrate. It's all downhill from here, but in a good way, like rolling down a hill on a bicycle.
I celebrated my halfway mark by buying some maternity clothes. I'm a smaller size now then when I was pregnant with Atticus, so almost all of my maternity clothes from 2012 don't fit, which is cool except that I need to spend money on clothes I don't necessarily want. But my mom lovingly told me I have a saggy butt every time I wore pants, and I couldn't look like a frump-a-lump any longer. Shopping time!
I thought I was doing great, scooping up clearance item after clearance item, but when I got to the register I realized half of the stuff I bought was actually full priced. Insert wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I'm taking almost everything back that wasn't marked down, because that's just how I roll. Call it cheap, call it frugal, call it crazy, but I feel like a sucker spending $35 on shorts that I don't really want in the first place.
So here's what 20 weeks looks like around this house:
I also commemorated this wonderful day with a delicious s'more made in the microwave with coconut-covered marshmallows...in other words, my current pregnancy craving. FYI you eat it with a fork, it's more genteel.
So there you have it. I'm halfway to the end and I'm feeling pretty good. Let's see how long that lasts ;-)
