I have a confession to make...I haven't started wearing maternity pants yet, however I have broken out the "mom jeans"!!!
A few months ago, I picked up a bag of used clothes on a Mom and Baby site I'm on. One of the jeans was a pair of mom jeans.....higher waist, more roomy in the front, roomy ass, basically as un-sexy as a pair of jeans can get. I ended up sticking them in my closet, intending to make up a box of clothing to donate, and never did. Well, at the moment, they're the only jeans that fit! OH complained the other day when I put them on, but I seriously had no other pants that fit, other than my work pants, which are elastic waisted.
I think it might be time to go and purchase some maternity pants! I was trying to hold off as long as I could, but that's just not going to happen much longer. I have a bit of a bump forming, unfortunately it's mostly under my fat.
Basically my uterus is right underneath it, but the way it's sitting at the moment, it's just pushed my fat out. Thankfully my work uniform covers it for the moment. I'm hoping to get more of a proper bump soon.
I had my 12 week scan last Friday at 12 +5 and everything looked good. Apparently the baby wouldn't stay still for the tech to get her measurements. Then, by the time they called OH in and turned the screen for us to see, the baby had fallen asleep and wouldn't move!
We did see a strong heartbeat though, and we know that baby was moving around right before then. I just wish we could have seen it.
As for gender, I'm not-so-secretly hoping for a girl. We already have our boy, and we know that this will be our last baby (unless we have an oopsie in the future.) I would LOVE to have a little girl, but of course I will be just as happy with another boy.
