So I've needed a few reality checks recently. First of all...I thought we lived in southeast Texas. Don't we? Does this look like how you'd imagine southeast Texas?
Well, me neither, but that's what we woke up to on Thursday...Yay!!! SNOW!!! Lucy loved it! It actually felt like Christmas was on it's way. However, it was 70 plus degrees today, and I wore shorts, so I guess things are back to "normal", well normal for southeast Texas at least.
Secondly, I've been thinking that I'm only imagining that my belly is getting bigger and that in reality it's not. After reading so many things about pregnancy, I've got big bellies on my mind. Yes, I have felt bloated, but I all my pants still fit as usual. I put myself through the ultimate test this morning; I busted out the ol' wedding dress. Granted, there wasn't much breathing room in it to begin with, but I honestly couldn't get the zipper up. I convinced myself that the zipper was snagging, so I went and got Matt's help. He rolled his eyes as I waltzed into the room in my beautiful gown. Him: "WHAT are you doing?" Me: "Oh, just seein' if my belly's any bigger...help me zip it up!" He did a count down and I tried with all my might to suck it in, but it was a no go. I repositioned the dress a bit, and sucked in even harder and yelled, "K...ZIP IT!!". Matt tried again, but said he wasn't willing to break the zipper for this silly activity. So, I guess it's not all in my head. My belly is, in all reality, getting bigger. Matt reminded me that I AM pregnant and that my belly getting bigger is a GOOD thing. I realize that, but it is kind of a rough transition, and still a little difficult to accept that my girlish figure is shot. I'll get over it. Soon after my wedding, I felt a small twinge of regret that I (well, really mom and dad) didn't rent a dress instead of buying one cause it would have been cheaper, but now, I'm glad I (mom and dad) bought it. It'll be a good goal to shoot for postpartum, and is very good for an occasional reality check.
