yesterday i suggested to b that we just swing by the maternity outlet store to take a look. with my trip to berlin coming up i need some professional-looking yet comfortable pants to wear. and most likely, i'll be 3 weeks bigger in 3 weeks. so we ventured down to the king's cross outlet box stores hoping to find some deals. i did end up finding a pair of pants that i thought were on sale (turns out they weren't) and i tried them on. in the change room was this strap on 7 month belly. so after finding the pants fit well and comfortably i tried on the belly with it. it was CRAZY! both b and i were startled and kind of giddy, and together silently giggled behind the change room curtain so the staff lady wouldn't hear us. she clearly really liked working at a maternity store and there was part of me who didn't want to fuel her enthusiasm – especially in regards to my pregnancy. in my new super comfy maternity pants, it's clear that i have a bump, which is super exciting! sometimes now that the nausea has passed it's easy to feel not pregnant, so a small bump helps reassure me. the pants are SO comfortable that i think i'll probably wear them most of the time. unfortunately, they were about 3 inches too long, so i had to drop them off at stich it today for hemming and i won't have them with me the next 3 days. but it's better to do it now when i can still fit into other clothes.
remember how i mentioned that my mom had a boyfriend that i felt a bit reluctant about? well she broke up with him yesterday. yay! i'm very pleased. not so much about the break-up, but the fact that she has a new lease on life and assurance that she has other options. she's thinking about moving closer into ktown and living near to friends. i'm really proud of her. i know there are good things ahead and i'm thankful she thinks so too.
when i got my ipod this past september i was really disappointed that it didn't come with a genius because i really like that feature! but i've discovered that after my latest OS upgrade i now have genius on my ipod! hooray!
half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring.

The store called "Ham-me-Downs" on Development Dr. across from Raxx has good quality maternity clothes. I always found the maternity stores kind of expensive.

thanks for the tip!
yes, i plan to buy everything else second hand. i find it hard to find good used pants.
Hurray for baby bumps!
And hurray for your mom! You must feel very relieved.
