My new friend

I met a new friend today. Her name is Bella. You see, I had some time to myself today and tried to go shopping "for a few things" just to get me through this feeling fat but not yet true baby bump (although it is there, and some of you know it because I catch you staring to see if you can see something... yeah, I get paranoid when I catch you looking at the belly and not the face... but I know it is inevitable) ANYWAY... it was hard for me. It kind of stunk actually. I mean the trend is kind of convenient right now with the baggy shirts and stuff, but MY GRACIOUS someone forgot to tell the fashion industry that Dec-March are COLD. I really cannot get away with the shirts they put out there these days and try to pass of as winter wardrobe... you know like these



So, I am wandering around trying to figure out how long I can make the few pants I have (that fit) work without looking silly... and I meet her. BELLA! I had heard just a tad about Bella, but had never really paid attention. So when I went into 2 maternity shops today and they both mentioned her, I thought I would have a little talk with her myself. So she and I disappeared into the dressing room and became the best of friends. Now, don't get me wrong. I have not actually taken Bella out in public yet to go for a test drive. But I did come home (before slipping into my PJ's) and try her out with a pair of jeans that were to uncomfortable to button. VOILA! All my pants *should* fit just fine now. There is just nothing like a girlfriend that helps a struggling sister out!
