Buying maternity clothes was:
Kind of frustrating. They don't really make maternity clothes for skinny preggos. I've tried just going up a few sizes in regular clothes, but that doesn't alway work. For example, empire waist stuff is in style, but the non-maternity shirts aren't long enough to cover my belly. I can find larger pants to fit my waist, but then the pants are HUGE in the hips and legs. Fortunately for me, Lourdes got me maternity clothes that actually fit, so that has really helped. Otherwise I'd have to go around wearing a smock or something.

The biggest change in my body has been:
I've gone from having a 22 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. I'll probably never see my size zeros again. Goodbye little clothes!
In addition to gaining girth on my waist, I seem to have grown the world's largest boobs! Well, at least they seem gigantic to me. I'm not used to the ladies gettin' in the way all the time! Before, the ladies were polite and kept to themselves. Now they're all rambunctious and interfering with everyday tasks like sleeping or crossing my arms. And I understand that they're not through growing yet. I guess I'll need to rent a wheelbarrow or something to haul them around later.

My favorite change in my body has been:
I'll go with the boobs. As a card-carrying late-bloomer, I used to pray for boobs when I was younger. Well, my prayers have sure been answered!

What I never thought would change was:
My skin. It's gone crazy! Oily and blotchy one day, dry and itchy the next.

At this month's prenatal visit I learned that:
I'm having a girl! Yippee!

My hopes:
I hope I'll be a good mom.

My fears:
I'm worried that when I finally go into labor, I won't make it to the hospital in time to get an epidural. I've had very vivid nightmares about my impending labor, and it makes me very nervous. I just keep telling myself, "Billions of women throughout history have made it through, you can too." Except that I'm a big wuss when it comes to pain.
