Pants That Don't Fit

So I am four months along and my pants are now just starting to not fit. I learned the rubber band trick (looping it around the button, through the hole and around the button again). That has helped. I still haven't bought maternity pants. I am holding out as long as I can. But my bump still kind of comes and goes. In the morning it is not very big, but by the afternoon, I have a definite belly. I am coming to terms with it. I saw an old friend at a restaurant last night and she said she was HUGE at four months so that made me feel a lot better. I know it is just going to get bigger from here. . . Rob asked the other day, "Wow, so your skin is just going to strrrrrreeetch over your belly?" I told him never to say the word stretch like that again.

Our friends Brad and Nancy were here for the weekend from California with their daughter Lia. It was so fun to have them here. Brad was able to take advantage of our perfect location and hit the slopes that are literally only 15 minutes from our doorstep. Lia is 1 and so cute with the cutest little laugh. It made us excited. But we are also going to enjoy these next 5 months of peacefulness and spontaneity.

I am going to get better at this. Our ultrasound is in a couple weeks and we will know what we are having. BOY? or GIRL? You can give your opinions and we will let you know. Then all the fun can start! Planning the baby room and shopping for stuff!
