last year when I accompanied Caleb to the pumpkin patch/farm we rode in our own car and met everyone there. I was very pregnant, 7 1/2 months at least and it was freezing cold eventhough the sun was shining. today, I accompanied Caleb on his first school bus ride along w/ all of his classmates and one adult per child. The sun was shining and it was nearly 75 degrees out. before I did this though I awaited a friend who was going to babysit Bo for me and anxiously wondered how he’d do without me for most of the day, as he threw up his breakfast shortly before she arrived. I was convinced I wasnt going to be going anywhere but turns out all of that congestion and some juice that didnt go down well was the culprit and he was fine the rest of the day.
Caleb was attached to his friend the whole day and it gave me a chance for once to meet and actually get to know a parent of his classmates. She is due 2 weeks after me and it felt good to know I’m not showing and she looks a good 4-5 months preggo. As well as another mom who I thought was due a lot sooner is due 3 weeks before me and is very pregnant looking. I feel big and I’m sure it’s all in my head as all of the pants I wear are still huge on me and I cant wear my maternity ones becuase they are huge on me. So I’m wearing my pre-pregnancy BO clothes and they are all so big still. So I know I’m not that big, twice in the last week people have said I’m not even showing yet and I’ve been like yeah sure. I sure feel huge, but I think after today I’ll at least know I dont look that big! I almost wish I had more of a baby belly than it might be more “real’ to me. but I feel big enough as is so I can wait to gain more weight!
caleb had so much fun and I’m so glad I didnt take Bo with us, another mom who’s baby is a few days older than Bo fussed a ton and made me aware of how much harder my day would have been with him with us. I’m sure we’ll do the family pumpkin farm thing and bo will go but it was nice for it to be just bo and I, I think it’s funny though that i was pregnant for this fall and last fall. Pretty cool actually!
