It's All Good

Yesterday's appointment went well. The baby's heartbeat is strong and the measurements were good. The baby was measuring a little big (9 weeks 1 day instead of 8 weeks 3 days) but the doctor said he is not concerned about that. We were using the older machine which apparently has a bigger margin for error. I'm still on modified bed rest with no lifting, no exercise & no nookie. I'm a little concerned about not exercising (I think my husband is a little concerned about the no nookie!). I just lost all that weight (30 pounds) and although I obviously know I will be gaining it all back with the pregnancy, I would like to be able to stay somewhat fit. I gained 70+ pounds when I had my daughter and it was not pretty at all. For now I am just trying to eat as healthy as I can and trying to embrace the baby belly that is already beginning to emerge. My daughter nearly peed her pants the other day laughing at my belly - lovely! My daughter, by the way, is NOT happy about this baby business. She has come to the point where she likes being an only child and does not want that to change. I am hoping she comes around by the time the baby arrives but I guess she'll get used to it soon enough. I actually feel relaxed about this pregnancy for the first time since we found out about a month ago. So of course now I am concerned with all the other non important details that are suddenly more important - like the fact that I have nothing to wear. I lost the weight and I bought a couple things but I was still losing weight so I didn't want to buy much. Well, now I don't have anything that fits. I only have a few things in the new size and they fit but are getting a little snug in the waist. I thought maybe I could just wear my old clothes that are in the bigger sizes but that are all way too big still so for now I am in a bind. I don't really think I need to start wearing maternity clothes yet but I don't want to go buy more clothes in the new size because I am rapidly outgrowing them. What to do, what to do..... I also don't even know where to go for maternity clothes now. I know there are lots of stores that carry maternity now - unfortunately the doctor declared the mall strictly off limits - too much walking. So I guess it's internet shopping for me but I much prefer to buy clothes that I can see and touch.
