I can't button my pants.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. One day I could button them no problem, the next I was jumping up and down and sweating trying to squeeze into my work pants. You see, late last year I bought a handful of new pants. I recently went down a couple of sizes and needed pants that didn't sag down to my knees. I then made the brilliant decision to donate all of my old pants because I didn't need them anymore.
Or so I thought.
A couple weeks later I found out the big news. I was pregnant. Which means I was going to be gaining weight/turning into a pretty balloon. I didn't think much of it, because the baby was the size of a raspberry so I kept rocking my size 4 jeans. Now let's fast forward to 12 weeks pregnant.
Yeah, you're not looking so great in those tiny jeans anymore, are you Miss Maxine? Didn't think so.
I'm not sure if this is THE bump though. I feel bloated. Like really bloated. Like don't talk to me, I can't breathe bloated. Like no!! I'm not being a diva just let me lay here in the middle of the living room bloated. It hurts and I'm blaming those dang bagel bites. But those bagel bites are so good.
Anyway, I've finally decided to share a couple pictures with you guys. You can be the judge on whether I look really bloated or just crazy. Or both. Warning: The first two pictures are what seem like a decade ago... but really it was last month. Ha!

So what do you think?! Maybe this bloating thing will go away..... or maybe I just need to get new pants.... hmm.....
