Nothing goes with it!
I'm finding that nothing goes with a small pot belly. My pants don't fit and regular shirts annoy me cause even if they fit I hate wearing stuff where I don't have a defined waist. I have broad shoulders and an ample amount of junk in the trunk and the one area where I generally don't gain weight is expanding each day (that wasn't bragging, did you see what I wrote about junk in the trunk?). Bleck I am in that awkward in between stage and I am definitely grumpy about it.
I had an appointment today and its always a relief to hear the heart beat. I don't know why I am so pessimistic, I always get a little nervous before they listen for it. My regular Dr gave me the impression that they would be handling things differently this time, meaning I won't have to go in nearly as often. You would think this would be a relief but I have found myself in a bad mood and snippy all afternoon. Because of having thicker blood which is more likely to clot and I'm on a blood thinner shot a day (that was a quick update for those readers who haven't seen my factor v references in previous posts) I see a high risk Dr and a regular ob. After 28 weeks I am usually in one of the offices every week and then closer to the end I am in twice a week. My impression has been that they are scanning to check fluid levels and for brain bleeds (thats from being on a blood thinner, morbid I know). I'm sure they are checking other things as well, and I end each visit with 20 minutes on the baby monitor. They make for long visits and inconveniencing friends with childcare but I hadn't realized till today how reassuring those visits were. Now I'm considered an old pro (meaning I have had two perfectly healthy pregnancies and two healthy kids) so they are thinking this time around we can back off all the visits. My ob said she'd still do more scans but I won't see the high risk as much, she's going to over see most of it. Why is this not a relief? I'm so weird today. Tired and grumpy. Too much thinking.
I hate change. Maybe I should just work on having a little more, dare I say, faith.

i am right there with you when it comes to clothes issues. all day i found myself pulling up my pants and down with the shirt (not vice versa). i keep trying to find one (just one) thing that fits me well to no avail. oh well, i guess the belly will really be sticking out soon enough.
