I got the okay to have some Pepcid when the heartburn is being evil. Yay!!

Lots of action going on in there. I'll say it for the millionth time, I don't think I will ever get over how weird it is to me that something is poking at me from the inside.

I'm quite sure the bellybutton is going to pop out soon as it is super flat now.

And I'm moving into the over the belly pants I've gotten on e-bay that I couldn't previously wear yet. My Old Navy jeans that were supposedly going to last the whole 9 months are getting uncomfortable. I have a lot of those below the belly band pants, but they're starting to feel kind of weird as there's not much holding them up under the belly. I'm constantly pulling them up and forget about what happens when I bend down for something.

Bending down, by the way, is something I try to avoid. Trying to tie shoes is fun so I'm sticking primarily with those I can slip on.

In any case, I'm anxiously awaiting an order from Old Navy that is my present from John's grandmother that will include some new full belly panel jeans. I also was wanting to get a pair of their roll panel jeans, but as I was waiting an eternity for John to come add some shirts to the order, they got sold out and removed from my shopping cart. I was a little bitter, but I will just wait until they (hopefully) restock and buy them then as I still have the money for them. I just prefer to wear jeans since I'm not working and my other full panel pants are a little too nice to be hanging around the house in.

I'm also excited to be getting some maternity p.j. bottoms. I've been wearing an XL pair of men's p.j. bottoms from Target, but they are just not comfortable at all. So then I switched to a nightgown while I'm waiting for the order to arrive, but then my legs are cold. The one time where leg warmers might come in handy.

Unfortunately, I don't have an Old Navy with a maternity section that's close so I'm at the mercy of online shopping. Their shipping is $5 no matter how much you order, which is awesome. I did do a little shopping at the Eaton Centre location last time we were in Toronto, but that was back in September before I knew I was going to be gigantic.

When I was pregnant with Jacob, I pretty much wore only the over-the-belly type pants. I'm actually not sure they had the other kind back then. But, most of my pregnancy was during cold weather, and I liked having the extra warmth. With Grace, I was pregnant more in the summer and wore tank tops. They work better with below-the-belly pants. But, I WAS constantly pulling them back up. For pajama bottoms, I wore my regular ones, but wore them below my belly. Come to think of it, that's probably what I wore 90% of the time when pregnant with Jacob, since I almost never left the house.

grace is attacking me with kisses right now... gotta go.

The over-the-bellies really didn't fit me until now. Too much slack in the belly so I've been pleased to have the under bellies until now. Now I'm super glad to have a few over bellies or I'd have nothing left to wear.
