So we're leaving town tomorrow for my brother in law's wedding on Saturday. Aaron is the best man and I just get to sit and enjoy the day! No singing, no speaking, no fancy dresses. Well, I DID get a pretty snazzy maternity dress. I decided I'd rather look pregnant (since it's now 17 weeks!) than a little more chubby than usual, so found a great deal and got a very pretty dress.
Don't worry - these nasty things (Mama Spanx) won't be coming in contact with my hot body.
Seriously tho, who in God's name wants to bend over to put panty hose on THAT pregnant, I could barely put socks and shoes on at that point??
In other news, I also got my Mia haircut. It's fantastic! I wake up with bed head and it actually looks better than the day before when I tried to style it. That's my kind of hair cut! Someday I'll get out of a nasty t-shirt and put on my makeup and take a picture of myself. Hopefully we can get a few nice pictures at the wedding and you can see the glorious new me. I'm very happy with it.
Speaking of maternity clothes, I finally dragged mine out of the basement. The good news is all of it fits, the bad news is quite a bit is stretched out (biiiiigggg tummy)!
About a week before I delivered Rhys
So now i have to separate them into 2nd tri and 3rd tri clothes. Usually I like organizing, but I'm really not in the mood right not.
So that's what's going down in this household. Oh, and I also have gestational diabetes. That totally sucks again...but after a few good cries, I'm getting a grip and dealing with the fingerpricks, strict diet, and number game.
I know that voluntarily tackling this early on will give me a better result... and because I'm going for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section) I want the smallest baby possible. With our genes, I need all the help I can get.
See you after vacation! (or maybe during, if I happen to open the laptop, but I might be too busy at the pool getting my tan on.) Happy 4th!

Mama Spanx? NASTY! I don't want to wear hose when I'm not prego! I can't believe it's been 17 weeks already. This pregnancy is flying by for me. Probably not for you though. Have fun at the wedding!
I can't believe you're 17 weeks already!!! WOW!! Cute dress too! Sorry about the GD. That sucks big time. Will you be finding out what you're having?? :) Have a great vacay and see you on the flip side! :)
I want to see the Mia hair! I bet you look foxy.
I don't wear nylons when I'm not pregnant, so I can't imagine the kind of event that would require something that involved so much discomfort. Great picture though, and super cute dress. Have fun!
I hate all nylons in general. I once got grounded for not wearing them to church when I was in middle school. Yuck. Very cute dress!
Mama spanx just sounds wrong on so many levels, let alone the fact that it's panty hose. Very cute dress! I'd wear it even though I'm not preggo.
Sorry to hear about the GD. I have another friend who's going through that right now, and is also dealing w/ the strict diet, finger pricks, etc. Boo.
