Pregnancy update

Now, I’m not turning into a pregnancy blogger. I actually have done a lot of cooking lately, but I need to get my pictures and my thoughts all in the same place. More coming on that front.

But in the meantime, I have two small items to share.

• My next door neighbor is so far winning the “best reaction” contest. The 9yo is now in the habit of going around asking me, “Did you tell her/him?” [Whoever we happen to be talking to at the moment.] And so then she is excited to announce the impending arrival. This evening, our neighbor was walking up the drive as we came in from dinner. The 9yo rolled down the window to tell her our news. And upon hearing, Susan dropped her mail and her jaw. We all cracked up!
• Second, I had given all my maternity clothes to a good friend a few years ago. I emailed her earlier this fall and said, Hey no big deal if you’ve given them away, but if you haven’t, can I get those back?? Heh. So they arrived this week and I eagerly opened the box, looking for a particular outfit I remembered. I wore it to work yesterday. Just as comfortable as I remembered from 10 years ago. But….let’s just say that pants looked really different 10 years ago. The pants were ankle length and very narrow at the ankle. So I put on my brown shoes, and there was a big problem. An inch-wide gap between my shoes and my pants. Sigh.

  I guess I am going to have to buy new brown shoes, which is a better solution than not wearing those pants again, sadly. My existing brown shoes work great with every OTHER outfit I have. But I am not exactly fitting in lots of those other outfits these days.
