I am getting to that point where it looks like I have eaten one-t00-many Double-Stuf Oreo cookies. While that may indeed be true, there is also another reason for my pants not fitting so well...Baby B is growing! Friends and co-workers have told me that I am starting to show. I still feel like it might be because of the Oreos! Nevertheless, I made my first maternity wear purchases this week. If I would have known how wonderful elastic-waisted pants felt, I probably would have been wearing them much sooner. However, my friends and I are keenly aware and try to avoid the "frumpy social worker" attire. That would likely include wearing elastic waisted pants with clogs (even if you weren't pregnant). While I don't plan on getting any clogs, a good pair of attractive comfort shoes would probably be a good idea. It's hard to be on your feet all day.
Another great thing happened yesterday. I met with my friend, Darshana, who has the mos
t beautiful 1-year-old imaginable. Since that 1-year-old is out-growing her things, Darshana graciously is lending us many of the items that we need. She also gave me a bag full of books. Oh, I will have plenty of reading time when we drive to Michigan in July! She also gave me some great advice about classes to take here in Austin and other pointers. I am grateful for that!

So, today I am 16 weeks pregnant and everyone is asking, "How are you feeling?" I feel pretty good, thankfully. We have a busy weekend ahead. Lots of packing to do for the house. We move in 2 weeks!! Elizabeth and I checked out an adorable little daycare center near my work and our new place. With her urging we went in a toured it and it was so sweet! It changed my impression about what daycares are like. It looked like a really fun/educational place and made me want to be a Pre-schooler! After I got over the sticker-shock of the price, I kind of got excited imagining Baby B in a place like this socializing with other babies and learning. I know returning to work will likely make me feel sad at first, but seeing a place like this takes away some of the anxiety.
