Well, look at that, I'm 9 weeks pregnant already.
I have had to use the ponytail trick more than once already, and have actually worn a pair of maternity pants. (Note: maternity jeans FEEL like sweatpants and LOOK like jeans. You go right ahead and judge.)
I'm making it one day at a time, and actually not doing too bad. It's my blogs that are suffering. I miss you, my friends. I really do.
Baby#2, or, BittyWee from here on out, is about an inch long this week and the size of a grape. (I ask you, interweb, how can a grape make my pants too tight already, when all I've been able to swallow without gagging is oatmeal?) Anyway, here's what Babycenter.com says:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long -- about the size of a grape -- and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form -- as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.

so glad you're not resisting maternity pants. you go ahead and be comf. anyone who judges clearly hasn't worn mat pants.
You're a hoot, Erin. And I agree with Angie--you go right ahead and wear the maternity clothes, babe. No judgment. ;) So excited for you!
Bitty Wee! You did name this one after Loren and Lauren!
Yes, isn't it amazing how quickly your pants don't fit? Ugh. And I know the hair tie trick. My aunt taught me that one.
Wait, what's the ponytail trick?
