I must have drank enough water yesterday b/c i'm not too bloated. I'm including this so I can have a reference picture of what this dress used to look like when I wear it eight months from now. (it's a wrap dress, so hopefully a piece I can continue to wear...)
PS- Please ignore the scratches on the classroom mirror from an angry teenager like 4 yrs ago that make it look dirty

Here is my almost two year old! She got her hair cut and the hairstylist put a braid in and her playing my mom's tablet while we shopped yesterday and she is wearing her new cowgirl boots we bought for her party!

One of my coworkers, who works remotely 95% of the time was in my office today. I noticed her looking at my bump a few times but didn't say anything. Later on I saw her and she said, "Are you pregnant? I noticed your bump this morning and said to myself, 'Is P pregnant or do I just not remember her being a little chubby?'" LOL thanks, lady!

I can't believe she used the word chubby! People get so weird around pregnant women, it's like they lose all common sense. Sometimes you just have to laugh! :P
