outfit repeater?!

not me. not ever.

my mom told me it was pointless to purchase maternity clothes when i could wear my dad's and brother's clothing whenever i wanted. i told her heck no! and she told me to be an outfit repeater then. wear an outfit quite often.... more often than you would wear your FAVORITE outfit. i don't really remember ever doing this. chances are i have... but the way my laundry basket stacks up... i probably haven't.

lucky for me, i went through this phase about a year and a half ago where i was obsessed with buying shirts that were too big for me. i just had a super relaxed attitude about life at that point in time... and now, i am so thankful i did. so that i don't have to be an outfit repeater. icky.

the other nice part about getting big right now is that all my sweater dresses that i have, are now winter sweaters for this year. yay for last years fads! :D

i feel very lucky that i am still fitting into my two favorite pairs of pre-pregnancy jeans. this makes me UBER happy. cause i HATE maternity pants. no joke. they are not comfy at all. so i leave my pants unzipped, slip on my bellyband and i'm good to go. yay for me! we'll see how long this lasts. i am at TWENTY-NINE WEEKS so i'm crossing my fingers we make it through this month. :)

baby boy.

i've been getting weekly updates on what is going on in my belly since i found out i was pregnant. i love seeing what is growing and developing. it always makes me super happy and excited. this weeks update told me that my boy was going to be getting so big that there wasn't going to be as much room for him to move around anymore. i thought "YES!!" when i read this. now it's not so much that thought at all.

he HATES not having his space as i mentioned before. so i am constantly getting elbowed or kneed or both.. who really knows? it's really cool when he is pushing so hard against an area that i can see or actually touch where he is pushing. we have a little game i like to play where i will poke in a spot for a few seconds and he will respond. i love my little guy. :)

family.

my brother turned 18 on october 28th so we had both sides over for cake and ice cream! and let me tell you, it was SOOOOOOO great to see my entire family tonight. minus the four missionaries and my grandpa. but still. seeing my familia has always been a fresh breath of air for me. i can't wait till thanksgiving when we can all be together again. :)

my family has been the best support group EVER. i am crazy thankful for every kind and reassuring word they have given me. and most of all for just being there for me.

i'm always super tired so i feel bad when my little best friend/cousin wants to play and i have to deny his request. one day i will have the energy to run around with him again... guarantee that will be when my son is old enough to play with us. at least he knows i still love him all the same!
