Adventures in pregnancy

So far, I've been told that I don't love and value my baby because I am sick of "taking it easy." They claimed that if I wanted this baby and loved it enough, then I would have no problem following the "rules," but that since it stresses me out and I am bored, I obviously don't deserve to have my baby. Yes. Someone seriously said that. No. I will not tell you who. It was cruel, but it'd be crueler (sp?) to name names. I was also told that I am a bad person for getting pregnant before other people who were trying longer. Yeah, about that...(I'm not even going to get into that whole debate. It's not worth my time.)

And, much to my chagrin, someone patted my belly this morning at church! My mom was reminding me the other day of how when my cousin Amber was pregnant, she went up and rubbed her belly, joking about how so many people feel the need to do that to pregnant women, and Amber told her no one really had. I'm sure mom thought it was kind of funny that someone has already done it to me now...It was...mildly awkward. Since it was someone I think I've talked to three times in the entire time I've attended my church, but hey. What can you do? :)

Also, I am in need of a new denim skirt. I have some from last summer, but while I have lost weight in my pregnancy, I have gained a bit since last summer, and just feel different, so they don't button. I have one maternity skirt that is slightly too big and has the whole panel and everything (I'll wear it anyway, it just doesn't work so great right now). I fell in love with the adjustable waists at Old Navy, but they don't have a skirt that has it...I need a knee length or so skirt, without all kinds of frills and tears and bleach spots...has anyone seen one?

I realized while getting dressed this morning, that I have lots of tanks that go well under cardigans, but not so many that can stand alone, and be work/church appropriate (I'm just not comfortable enough in them without a cardi). With temps approaching 90*, this posed a problem. I went with a skirt that was too big for me, and short sleeves, but have no idea what to wear to work tomorrow, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or my sister's graduation ceremony! I've been on the lookout for tanks that are "nicer" but not too pricey, but pretty much everything out there is casual or a cami. I'm at a loss... All of the maternity clothes I've purchased on clearance over the last little bit are more for when I'm further along...making dressing right now, a challenge. My old tops just aren't comfortable, but I don't want to buy a ton of new clothes (and can't afford to anyway!), and the new ones make me look much bigger than I am. I think it should stay spring like weather until I fit into some of these clothes!
