So I'm at that stage in my pregnancy where nothing fits and I just feel fat, fat, fat. I am 14 and 1/2 weeks (for those of you who are not up on the weeks of preganancy, that means I'm a little more than 1/3 of the way through. Full term is 40 weeks). My belly is getting big enough that very few of my regular pants fit me, but when I try to wear maternity pants, most of them are still too big and they sag down and I'm walking around hitching them up all the time. I'm at the point where I don't really look pregnant yet--just chubby.

The worst part about this is that I am going to a fancy Christmas party for my husband's work this weekend. I am actually kind of excited about it. It is at a country club and I've never ever been to a country club. I don't know what I'm expecting it to be like, I just know that in my mind, country club=rich and ritzy. So I'm looking forward to that.

But I had a heck of a time finding anything I could wear to this event. I ended up with an okay outfit but I still feel kind of self-conscious. Eric has told some his friends that I am pregnant but not everyone in the company knows so I hope that somehow word gets spread, or my outfit looks all right so that people will know: I'm not fat! Just pregnant!
