Stretchy Pants

We’re about five months in now—25 weeks, to be exact—and I’m getting bigger every day (Kristin, not Dan!). I had to get a new wardrobe, complete with stretchy pants to fit my every-stretching belly. On the up side, there are some very cute maternity fashions right now, and I can’t wait until it’s warm enough to start wearing some of my dresses. (A side note for all those readers living in colder climates—yes, it is in the 60’s and occasionally even the 70’s here in California now that it’s February, but since we’re kind of wimpy here, I’m still finding it a little too chilly to wear my spring and summer dresses!) Another plus—stretchy pants are very comfortable, and you can’t tell that they go up past my belly button as long as I avoid the midriff-baring shirts. Dan has been a good sport about all the shopping trips!

I’m still feeling really good—so much better than a couple months ago! It’s nice to have energy again. Dan is back at school for the spring semester, so our lives continue to be very busy. We’re making good progress on our house projects—the wallpaper is gone, the washer and dryer are installed, most of the curtains are hung. We still have quite a list of things to go, but we’ll get there eventually! We’ll put some house pictures up soon.
