Maternity Clothes

I had to give in. I had to buy maternity pants. My jeans just don't fit right. I can button them, but the back gaps and the front is tight. My black dress pants have to have a safety pin in them for me to wear them. I can't get them buttoned. So, today, I broke down and went to the maternity section in JCPenny and then Motherhood. I was really surprised at how reasonably priced it is at Motherhood. Today I bought a pair of jeans, gray dress pants and two pairs of black dress pants. I couldn't believe they were long enough too! But, I'm keeping the receipt because the Maternity Resale shop in Broken Arrow is open Wed-Sat and if I find the same pants there, then I'll return them to the full priced stores.

I'm not really feeling sick anymore. I have some spats where I really NEED WATER!!!! I have excessive thirst problems, which then lead to excessive bathroom problems. My lunch today was a rice cake with cheese, mushroom soup, and some peanut butter M&M's. I also have been drinking a lot of Fresca. It seems to settle my stomach. I also really like milk, but of course it has to be skim.

My TBN job still does not know about my pregnancy. However, today I was supposed to interview for a full time sales job in the natural gas industry. The interviewer has to reschedule. I'm so confused about why this job interview seems to have fallen in my lap when I'm pregnant. The money would be really great, plus a company car and a cell phone. It would be the highest paid job I've ever had. But, I may not even get the job offer, so I need to stop getting my hopes up.

This past weekend we cleaned out the "fire room" so that it will be easier for the new carpet to be laid. Now, the office is an extra bedroom and an office. The "fire room" is completely empty.
Ryan had a hard time with me packing up all of his items in the fire room and the office. I'm one who thinks if you don't use it within a year, then get rid of it. He's more of a person that sees the sentimental value in the item, so he wants to hang on to it. I think we compromised. I'm happy because everything managed come together nicely in the office. The attic is full though. Someday we'll get a bigger house.....

Also, this past weekend, I went bridesmaid dress shopping. Honestly, it was a nightmare. None of the dresses came in maternity in the material that I was looking for to match the other bridesmaid dresses. If I ordered a regular dress, but in a bigger size, it would cost more. It would also cost more to get an extra yard of material, blah, blah, blah. I was not willing to pay $250 for a dress that normally costs $165. So, I came home and Googled dresses. I found one at Nordstroms. Oklahoma doesn't have a Nordstroms, so I ordered it and it should be here by the end of the week. It's black and in the tafeda material that Steph was wanting. I hope it works!!! I plan to wear it for both Steph and Brandon's wedding in June.
