Living large......

A couple of days ago I had to go through Josie's closest and box up approximately 95% of her newborn outfits.  It was kind of a sad milestone.  Don't get me wrong, it wasn't like we were sending her off to college sad, but it still bring to my attention the fact that our little peanut is growing every day.  Although, I will say, it was pretty nice to get nearly 7 weeks of wear out of our newborn clothing. 

Going through Josie's closest had me making other sad observations in my own closest....I am still fat.  Okay, maybe fat isn't the most accurate word, but I am still a little chubby.  I can only fit into one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans and when I button them (which I am pretty proud of the fact that I can actually get them buttoned).....I have a VERY attractive muffin top...yuck.  I had been getting extended wear out of my maternity jeans, but I am in a weird transitional size.  My maternity jeans have built in full size belly bands and since there isn't a giant belly to hold them up.....they fall down and I spend most of my time while wearing them pulling them up.  It's fun....and terribly sexy.  So...maternity pants are too big, pre-preggo pants too small.....which means only one thing....wear sweatpants, pajamas, and yoga pants all the time. ..........go buy new pants.  Yep...as much as I hated to do it, I broke down and bought two new pair of pants to wear until I can get back in my old clothing.  It was sort of my only choice, considering I was about two seconds away from having a mental breakdown if I had to deal with the muffin top or sexy saggy pants another day. 

Having said all of that, please enjoy this picture of the reason for my crazy shaped body.  How cute is she with her little receding hairline?  Love this kid!!!  She certainly makes every pound and muffin top totally worth it!
