Cottage was great

We had a very relaxing time at the cottage. It only rained on Sunday, so not bad at all! Tuesday and yesterday were absolutely gorgeous. It was a wonderful little getaway.

Today, we are off to do some shopping with my mom. We'll likely go to the major places like Ikea and Costco and I want to show mom Babies R Us too. Should be a fun day! I need to get some new clothes for the summer since I now only have 1 pair of capris that fit. I had another pair that fit 2 weeks ago, but when I went to put them on at the cottage, they don't fit.

I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that my body is changing. Right now I just feel fat, I don't feel pregnant. I spend the last 7 or 8 years of my life trying to either lose weight or maintain, so this is a little scary. I know it will all be worth it, it is just taking some getting used to. I have only gained about 3 pounds so far, but I am definitely noticing my waistline is changing... hence, the need for some new clothes! I don't think I'm ready for maternity clothes yet, but I do need some clothes for the summer, preferably with a waist that has room for growth. So, that's part of our mission for today.

That would be a tough adjustment. It will definitely be worth it though when you are holding that lovely baby in your arms! :)

Have fun shopping today!

My absolute favorite clothing to wear in the summer, no matter what stage of pregnancy... empire-waist dresses! So comfy! You can buy them in either non-maternity or maternity-brands.

When you are ready (and I totally understand not being ready) for maternity clothes... see if there is a "Motherhood Maternity" store near you - they are way better than "Thyme Maternity" (cheaper too!).

Hmmm... I guess Pickering would be your closest option for Motherhood Maternity.
