The "Preggy Pants" mission

It has finally happened at 23 weeks pregnant! The moment I've been waiting 6 months for! I put on my pants Sunday and couldn't zip or button them!! Jordon's response: "Well, let's go shopping." I hated spending money on materniity clothes when hopefully I won't need them after Kirkland's a few months old, but it was either spend some money or have to go naked...almost literally.

Let's just say that shopping for maternity clothes was an adventure and I'm glad I had my husband with me! We searched Belk, Kohls, Target, and JCPenny with only finding a pair of kakhi shorts that I only bought because they were marked down from $40 to $2.99 (score!!). Then we decided to check out Motherhood Maternity, which has turned out to be my new favorite store! They actually had a variety of maternity clothes that don't necessarily look so "motherly," but they're actually cute. I ended up getting 2 pair of shorts, 3 pair of pants that roll up into capris, and 2 cute dresses. Hopefully I'll be able to stay in these clothes until at least November!



We've been busy on Miss Priss's room and it's coming together nicely. My daddy bought her a glider and ottoman set yesterday and J put it together last night. It's one of the most comfy chairs and I can't wait to be able to rock Kirkland in it. And J's Aunt Linda has bought her two bags of little clothes. No more comments about me buying her clothes, okay?? I've just been buying stuff to decorate her room now. I bought some adorable things yesterday from Hobby Lobby (love that store). I got 2 picture frames: one for her first ultrasound picture that says "love at first sight" and the other says "I have my Prince Charming, his name is Daddy." I can't wait to get her little pictures around her room. Hurry up November!!

I've started noticing lately that when I eat certain foods it sends Kirkland in a kicking frenzy. I'm guessing that means she likes the food?? If so then her faves so far are applesauce, chicken (that's my girl!), and biscuits, gravy, and bacon from the cafeteria at work. I swear she also takes at least one good tumble/flip daily. Possible future gymnist?? The book says she's over a pound now and she'll be doubling her weight by the end of the 6th month!! Grow Kirkland, grow! She's also supposed to be able to hear voices from the outside, so I constantly remind J that "we have little ears now." She should definately know what music is by the time she gets here as much (and as loud) as I listen to it in the car. I've already got her playlist on the iPod ready with lullibies and soothing music!

Hopefully things will keep going this way and it won't be too long before she's making her presence known!
