Oh my goodness, you guys. You had me laughing and crying all at the same time! This baby will be so lucky to be surrounded by such loving people. Thanks for posting your comments, I enjoy reading them. And for those of you that haven't participated yet... don't be shy! This will be so awesome to show the baby one day. Love you all!!!

On another note, for those of you who can't wait to see me get bigger and gain weight (why you seem to think I can just do whatever I want and not gain weight is beyond me, b/c I have to monitor my eating and physical activity like a hawk), I broke down and bought some maternity jeans. It's not that I necessarily needed 'maternity' jeans, it's just that it's really hard to find a pair of jeans that is just bigger in the waist - hence, maternity jeans. I won't need them just yet, but sooner or later, I'm not going to be able to wear the others. I ended up having to spend an outrageous amount on them (and you all know that that means more than $10!), but I got them at the Gap outlet and they actually had real sizes. I went to the Motherhood Maternity outlet too, but all thier stuff is just S, M, L, and the smalls looked huge! So I think I made a good choice. They should last me most of the pregnancy. And they're dark too, so they can be a little dressier as well. And since most of my pregnancy will be through summer, one good pair of jeans is all I really need. I'm still going to check out a couple of the baby/mom consignment stores in downtown this weekend, should they have anything for cheaper. There's a big one in Ann Arbor (Baby to Baby or something), but I'm never down that way. Well, anyway, probably more info than you needed to know, but I figured some of you would appreciate the news. I found some great sweatpants at Kohl's too, that were $5 and are low rise so they sit just below the biggest part of my belly - my new favorite pants! Ok, take care everyone!
