I am sad to say that I can no longer fit into my pants without having them unbuttoned and people at work lately have been looking at my belly a lot. It is official - I have a bump. Kind of sad because I know there are still 7 long months ahead, and I hate to think about how huge I will look then. But also kind of exciting because it makes everything so much more real.
The first comment came from a janitor who asked me (in español) if I was fat or pregnant. I tried not to take it the wrong way since I know she doesn't mean harm... she suspected I was prego. But still. Does it look like I ate too many Christmas cookies? The first thought that came to mind was, "I really need to hit the treadmill hard tonight!"
Even a second grader this week said hi to me in the hall and said, "You look like you're going to have a baby."
Well, I guess my secret's out. ;)
The best thing so far about having a bump is I can still wear my pants but wear them unbuttoned thanks to this awesome maternity stretchy band that fits over the waistline of your pants. I hope I can keep wearing my regular pants for a while until I need to graduate to the real maternity clothes... you know, the ones with the pouch. I'm going to avoid the pouch for as long as possible even though I've been told they are awesome and to embrace them. Maybe one day, just not today.
