A farewell to my favorite dress

I think today may be the last day that I can reasonably wear my favorite dress for a good long while. I bought it to wear to my wedding rehearsal, and it has served me well on so many occasions. Today, it is too snug up top, and I had quite the struggle to zip it up this morning. Its just a bit sad. This is my "go-to" dress, one that I always feel pretty in and wear with various colored cardis. And you know how I love my cardis. Today, as you can see, I grabbed the green one. I feel quite largish today, and that scares me as I am not looking month 4 in the face yet. This is just week 14! Figs is supposedly the size of a lemon, but judging from my belly, I call her/him at least a grapefruit! I am not overly hungry, and I think that I keep my eating within good limits. No cravings thus far, though I kinda think that will be fun. Bring on the pickles and ice cream! I must admit, I have watched other women who are far along in their pregnancies almost in terror: will I be so huge? Perhaps... And that's okay... As long as my baby is healthy. Right? :) right! Gathering a whole new wardrobe is tricky when you are trying not to spend money. I have gotten some nice foundational pieces thus far, and am so grateful to a gal at church who has offered this week to pack me up some of her recently used maternity wear. Bless her heart! But you know, sometimes I eye what I have purchased so far and doubt if I will fit in it in a couple of months at the rate I am growing. We shall see now, won't we!

So, farewell pretty black and white dress... Maybe we'll meet again next spring?
