Last night, as we were laying down for sleep, Bionca grabbed my hand and put it on her belly, and said, “Do you feel anything.” I sat there hoping to feel something, and I think that I may have a few times. I really wasn’t sure it wasn’t her muscles moving, or even my own pulse, I think that I might have felt something.
It’s still early for know for sure, but it will come. In the mean time, that may have been the first contact that I have had with my child.
My jeans have been getting smaller and smaller (I was using a hair tie to keep them together). I have been feeling very sad about getting fat (I know it’s not getting “fat”, but getting baby). As a girl who has struggled with my weight all my life, this pregnancy has really played with my emotions about getting bigger.
So, today I went to the mall to try to find some jeans for my new body. I first went to JCPenny and tried on a few pair but wasn’t impressed with the selection or how they looked on. So, I moved on to Motherhood. I was so excited when I walked in the store and I saw they had a Plus size section. I was positive that I was going to need to order on line. The ladies in there were so super nice and were happy to help me without being pushy, a big plus! They pulled a few styles from both the regular and plus sizes just to see. I went in to the fitting room with pretty low expectations but was willing to give it a shot. I tried on the regular size jeans first, and wow, did they fit great! I was so happy. They looked so good on and made my butt look great, a must for a good pair of jeans. Next, I tried on the plus jeans. They were too big! I felt skinny for the first time in like, forever! I tried on other styles but none fit as nice as the first pair. I just had to get them.
So, now I have a new jeans. A pair that don’t make me feel fat. A pair that as Peanut grows, my pants will accommodate my ever expanding belly. Who knew that jeans made for women whose wastes are expanding daily could make me feel so good?
Bionca sent me a text message today saying that she is starting to feel the flutters as Peanut moves, but she was also smelling steak in the bedroom, so who knows. 
I can’t wait until I can feel Peanut.
