So yesterday I decided to try out a new bra. My “normal” ones have an underwire and they have been fitting fine…except for one thing. When the underwire rests on the top of the belly, after 13 hours, it really starts to hurt.
I bought some nursing bras a few weeks ago, one without an underwire, and I thought I would try it out. Well, it was way tighter then when I bought it, there was no stretch to it, and without the underwire it made my boobs look weird. Not to mention that it wasn’t all the comfortable, instead of having the underwires dig into my skin, I had the whole bottom band digging in.
The only bra that is comfortable right now is the one I sleep in and it is an old, padded sports bra. And I am certainly not going wear that to work. (Although, I think that un-a-boob is better that flat, weird, kind of Madonna cone shaped boob.)
Today I am back to the underwire. And I think I might need to go bra shopping again and get something softer and with some stretch. Oh joy.

Crafty weekend
Today I got to spend some time with a friend doing crafty stuff. I made a card and then helped her with her scrapbook pages. She needed some cute cut outs so I made some for her on my Silhouette. Totally fun day and I totally love my Silhouette.
She brought over her copy of Monty Python's Flying Circus and we watched, laughed and were crafty.
Here is a pic of today's card.

I’m in love…
…with my bed.
Yesterday we bought new pillows and a memory foam topper for our mattress. This added to the big body pillow with a super soft cover that Brian bought for me last week created what can only be described as resembling The Princess and the Pea’s set up. I climbed in, snuggled in and fell fast asleep.
Last night was the first night we slept on the mountain of comfort. And it…was…heaven! I woke up this morning and my hips didn’t hurt, my back didn’t hurt and I felt rested. (Insert the sound of angels singing here.)
I can’t wait for tonight. And in the future, if you need me, I will be in bed.

Messy eater
I have decided that pregnancy makes you a messy eater. I am really not sure how this happens but it seems to have happened to me.
Yesterday I was in the store, I walked around for 10 minutes, then took my stuff up to the counter. I pulled out my wallet and in the process I saw a peice of granola bar fly off my shirt and onto the counter. I ate the granola bar in the car on the drive over to the store and walked around the store for 10 minutes with food on my shirt. Great!
It seems like every time I look down there are crumbs or something on my shirt. Last week, after lunch, I found a peice of orange, the white rind part, on the bottom half of my shirt, like under my belly. And after dinner last night I found crumbs in my hair.
Ummm, is this some sort of weird way of getting me ready for wearing spit-up?

Tea Time Shower
This weekend I went to a friend’s baby shower. She loves tea, so her shower had an English High Tea theme. It was beautiful.
The food was all different types of finger sandwiches, scones with creamed honey butter, and cookies and truffles. It was all served on beautiful china trays and tiered stands. There were lovely china plates and of course tea served in cups and saucers.
I drove down Saturday morning to be there, a trip that would normally take 4.5-5 hours took me at least 5.5 hours because I had to stop and pee 4 times. Yes, FOUR times, which almost made me late. (And it is worth noting that I only had to stop twice on the return trip, of course, when I didn’t have a time issue.)
I could not believe how many people were there. I think there were at least 30 adults, not counting the four ladies who threw the shower and assorted children. And I think she spent about an hour or more just opening presents.
I was sitting next to a super fun lady, who if we lived closer I would really try to befriend. She was great. She just had a baby (I think about 9 months ago) and is older like me. We laughed the entire time and she gave me a bunch of tips, everything from what things to use with cloth diapers, to bedtime tips. She told me funny stories about things they did, which sounded like things I would have tried. It was just great.
There is one thing from the shower that will take note of, any children that need to be watched every second, will not go with me in the future or be invited to events that aren’t about them. Children’s birthday parties, fine; showers that are meant for an adult and their guests to enjoy, no. This one little girl, I have no idea how old she was but she was tiny and could walk when holding on to things, “walked” over to the area I was in and stepped on my purse. I didn’t notice this until she got taller and then I saw that she was standing on it. I didn’t think much of it at the time but later when I took my sunglasses out of my purse and they were broken I knew why. (She also cried and did things that kids of that age do when you are not paying attention to them every minute. Not her fault but still annoying.)
And yes, even though I like kids and understand that kids are kids, I still find it very annoying when parents don’t pay attention and the kids cause problems for others. I wanted to pick that girl up and hand her to her mother and say, here I think this is yours. If you don’t want to watch your kid at a party or event…don’t bring them. Hire a babysitter, lock them a closet, I don’t care, but don’t let them ruin my good time and expect me to understand just because I (will) have kids. If your kids can’t behave because you are not paying attention to them it is your fault and you should know better than to bring them out in public.
I did have a great time, enjoyed making a new friend and spending time with some great old ones. 10 hours in the car and 6 stops at rest areas was worth it. :o)

Clothes
I am starting to have second thoughts about my clothing choices. Not maternity clothes, but my normal non-pregnancy clothes.
I don’t like to wear my cloths tight or in a way that shows off any lumps, so most of my clothes are loose.
There are certain pieces of my wardrobe that still fit.
You can see my baby belly but they still fit.
Interesting.

Best idea ever...or at least for the day
I had an idea yesterday while in Value Village. I bought some flannel sheets in colors/patterns I liked and I am going to cut them up and make receiving blankets out of them.
I think it will work out great. I will keep you posted.
