First of all, let me just say that I am so touched by all of the kind comments and e-mails I have been receiving from you all. It’s so cool to hear from folks that I never knew were reading my site and following along with my travails and triumphs. And of course, the old faithfuls who have been with me since I was at champuru.com, you are all special to me, too! It’s funny because I shared my big news with the Internet even before I got a chance to share it with many of the folks I know in real life. How typical of me.

I don’t know if it’s all in my head, but I am already starting to feel pregnant. I’m sleepy, sloth-like, hungry, and fat. In fact, my largest pair of “fat pants” are already too tight. I attribute the “fat” part to the combination of the hormones, lack of exercise, and increased caloric intake. Nevertheless, the reality is that I’m starting to outgrow my current wardrobe and there’s no sense in going up a size. I figure, I might as well just take the plunge and start buying elastic waistband maternity pants already.

Looks like I’ll be making a stop at a nearby maternity wear store this weekend before I find myself relegated to wearing my pajamas to the office. I wore a pair of plain black pajama pants to Bible study tonight because none of my jeans fit! I hope no one noticed.
