Maternity Pants

I bought my first pair of maternity pants this weekend.  I went to I think four places and tried on a couple of pairs at each place wanting to compare fit and price in our local stores, all to go back to the first place I had stopped.  I think I found a decent pair of jeans and I got a pair of work pants.  I don't need the work pants yet but it seemed like they looked good and fit okay.  This was not a great shopping adventure.  I mean nothing really fits or looks good and I am just feeling kind of thick all over and not very attractive, but man those jeans were comfortable.  I don't know why more pants aren't made with a big stretchy band in them so you can let your belly just be free from constriction.


I had a bagel for lunch today, that would seem to be pretty bland, but not an hour later I had heartburn pretty bad.  I am not surprised to have heartburn really but I was thinking I wouldn't have any until a little further along and I am hoping this doesn't mean I am in for another six months of this.  It hasn't really gone away and I did take some tums... I have read conflicting info about tums when pregnant, but mostly what I am getting is in moderation it should be okay.  I am just not feeling so awesome tonight with this bubble in my chest and throat.  Oh well, I will grin and bare it.


Our next appointment is a week away.  That will be pretty basic, just a check in and some more blood work, but after that I should be making my appointment for the big ultrasound and when we will find out our babies sex.  Kris seems to not want to find out the sex, but I just can't do it I will need to find out this time, maybe with our next we can be surprised.


Here is a picture of me that shows the little belly I have at this point.  Oh and those are my new maternity jeans, too.
