everyone else...

Everyone else I know who is pregnant is having a girl. We're having a boy.
Everyone else I know who is pregnant has a belly. I'm just starting to get one.
Everyone else I know who is pregnant seems to have it together. I feel so scattered!
Everyone else I know who is pregnant doesn't have to work. I have a job I can't stand.
Everyone else I know who is pregnant didn't get morning sickness. I was sick for 1.5 months.

Why is it that I can never be like anyone else?! Not that I'm not thrilled about having a boy, because I am...and everyone says I'm lucky to still be able to wear my regular clothes at 5 months. But I want to buy maternity clothes! I want everyone to be able to tell that I'm pregnant! I want to be able to remember where I left my keys or if I locked the door or where i ate lunch. I want to be able to do anything I want all day because I don't have to go punch a clock for 8 hours and deal with people who, after working there for years, still don't know how to do their job. I want to have time for my craft projects and exercise and playing with my dog and my husband. I don't want to have to watch everything I eat because anything remotely spicy makes me sick. I want to go camping and fishing and hiking and do all those things without being out of breath or tired. I want to sleep all night without having to get up 5 times to go to the bathroom. I want to sleep laying on my stomach!

That's my rant, and I'm sticking to it.

I think you look pregnant.

I assume this is your first baby? I didn't show till the end of 5 months either. At least not enough to warrant maternity clothes. Trust me, you'll get your wear out of them soon enough!

Don't sweat it about gaining weight either! 25-30lb weight gain is ideal and I doubt you'll just suddenly balloon with 40+ lbs at this point! I only gained 28lbs and 12-14 of that was baby and all the stuff required for tummy residence.

Congratulations and thanks for visiting my blog! :)
