luckily for me, there is a super cool thrift store near by adn on monday i went shopping and spent around $40 and came home with 2.5 kitchen size "trash" bags of used maternity clothes...
super nice stuff....pea in pod, mimi, etc.

i got several pairs of shorts and several pants.
and several long sleeve light weight shirts
and a bunch of sleeveless tops

since i am in GA, it is mostly warm here all winter and spring (summer is total HELL!!)
but i am planning on wearing the sleeveless tops with my cardigans (unbuttoned) with the pants untill it gets warm enough for tank top weather
and THEN switching over to the shorts.
(and spending most of my time in the pool beyond that!

i had to buy my clothes now b/c i can not button my size 6 pants any more...and i figure....if i am going to buy more clothes, it has to be maternity!

I've been switching to my roomier pants, but especially at night, everything around my waist feels uncomfortable. I had a cute little pot belly *anyway*, so I can't say for sure this is pregnancy related! But I'm starting to wonder how long the work clothes will fit... I leave this workplace at the end of April... think I can make it? And I'm going to a wedding on April 1... already had a dress in mind, but have no idea if it will actually fit then... and if not, how does one look gorgeous at a wedding with a little poochy belly (a big belly, ok, I could try to go like the movie stars and wear some belly-hugging glam gown... but I think at 4 months I'll just look sort of thick...) hmmmmm.

One thing my mom always told me -- she had her babies in April and in July -- was DON'T be in your third trimester over the summer. Now I've moved to a part of the country where it's just as hot, 10 times more humid, and voila -- due at the very end of summer! Timing, timing...
