We have a black-tie family wedding on Sunday. I purchased my dress about a month ago. It's an adorable black cocktail dress and I found darling shoes to match. Sounds perfect, right?
I tried it on last night to see how it looked once again. MY GOD am I huge now. It doesn't look unattractive or anything, I just look hugemongously knocked up. When I first bought it and tried it on, I had the pretty little early 2nd trimester bump. Now I really just look like I'm smuggling a large melon or small pachyderm under my empire waistline. A barrel on suspenders would look just as curvy on me.
Thank goodness my ankles haven't begun to swell just yet. Still, I had Chinese for dinner last night and the leftovers for dinner tonight. That's a lot of sodium. I'll have to drink ungodly amounts of water tomorrow to flush it all out to avoid early-onset cankles.
This is the last time I am getting dressed up for the duration of my pregnancy. It's t-shirts and yoga pants until December starting Labor Day!!! :)
In baby news, Mr. T is now big enough that I can feel him kick and punch on opposite sides of my stomach when he's having a good stretch. It freaks me out each time. This morning at the diner, he kicked me in the bladder so hard I had to dash for the ladies room. Maybe 3 drops came out--I was so sore it just felt like I was about to burst.
I've heard many a horror story about babies kicking the pee right out of their moms, but I just chalked them all up to urban legend. Now I get it. If Mr. T ever does that to me in public, he will regret it every day for his entire life.
He just gave me two gentle kicks in the cervix when I finished typing that. I swear he can read my mind. Don't call my bluff, kiddo. You don't know who you're messin' with.

Yep, this is why you buy stuff for black tie events no earlier than two weeks before the do. I was five months pregnant when I got married and in the two weeks before shopping (I bought a corset and skirt two piece), I grew enough that it was a VERY close call when it came to fitting into it.
We have a ladies night in October and Al is talking about buying me a dress for it as one of my birthday presents (it's next week). I don't know if it's worth it for something I'll never get to wear again and may not look all that great on the night anyway.
