My current dilemma...maternity pants! I've been wearing maternity shirts for the past couple weeks on and off - hopping back and forth on both sides. I don't quite need them yet but they are more comfortable. And I LOVE maternity shirts. I have a long torso so any shirt that gives me more length is A-OK in my book! :) Maternity pants though...sigh. My mom got me two pairs of ultra-comfy Old Navy stretch maternity pants at the thrift store. They were just a couple dollars each and so worth every penny and more! I started wearing them a few weeks ago when it felt my regular pants (mostly jeans) were making my heartburn worse because they were digging in some (even when I'm not pregnant that can be an issue). I can't wear those pants to work though because they're just too casual. They look like sweat pants honestly. But I wear them every chance I get. Friday was my first day wearing maternity pants other than the stretch ones. These were from Motherhood and they were like a khaki-colored capris (that you can roll down to full-length or roll up which is how I had them). They were my first ones with the belly panel and they were actually super comfy. I decided to wear the jeans yesterday for the first time - same brand, same store, same size, same type of belly panel. OMG. All day long I was tugging them up. I swear they are just going to slide right down and take my drawers with them! I had on a maternity shirt that was just not quite long enough to cover the droopiness and I could see the bottom of the belly panel every time I looked in the mirror! Aarrgghh! And I bought two pairs of their jeans and one pair of jean capris. I wonder if they'll all be this uncomfortable! I wonder if it's because I don't really have a true bump yet, just a general rounding, and there is nothing to hold it up? I don't know but it's driving me nuts!
In other news we had our level 2 anatomy scan last Tuesday. It went well. Even though I didn't really want to know the gender, I wanted to try to get a clue. I wouldn't trust my own guess but I just wanted something to even try to guess on. Well, I saw no boy parts or anything that I thought might be boy parts. And once the tech said "she." When I told my hubby that later he said at one other point she said "he" as well. Ha ha. I totally missed that one. I convinced myself this baby is a boy and sort of want a boy now but there is still a part of me that really really wants a girl. I guess the good news is I'll be happy either way! We got some cute pictures of the baby (albeit blurry) and we have to go back next week (two weeks later)! They couldn't quite get all the pictures of the chambers of the heart they needed. I also found out if they do 3D/4D ultrasounds there and they do. They recommended I come back between 26-30 weeks (the tech) or 26-32 weeks (the receptionist) so I'll probably make my appointment for sometime around 29-30 weeks.
I'm now down 4 pounds from January and 2 pounds from March (forgot to weigh myself in February, the month in which I actually got pregnant). It doesn't make much sense but I'm not going to question it! I definitely eat less for dinner and less after-dining munching than I used to. I'm simply not that hungry.
My hubby is so cute. I will be 20 weeks tomorrow and I just showed him a picture of what a 20-week baby looks like (on my Pregnology ticker) and he said, "Aww, I want to hug the baby." I can't wait to hug the baby either!
I did not do much for Father's Day. I just got him a cute card. I figure next year will be the first official one so I can do more then. I mean really, he hasn't had to father yet. :)
