Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo!

Well, we're coming down the home-stretch for the end of the first trimester! Being that Brad and I are soloing things right now with no weekly ultrasounds, we're guessing that the baby is about 12 weeks along as of today, as this has been the pattern for the last several weeks. With that in mind, we FINALLY remembered to start taking "belly pictures" as some people call them. Here, I'm sporting my "12 week tummy" and feeling rather uncomfortable about the whole picture-taking ordeal!

You can well imagine that with my middle starting to fill out, finding something to wear in my wardrobe has become quite a challenge! I was down to about three pairs of capris (forget jeans!), one pair of shorts, and just a small handful of shirts. God took mercy on this poor soul though and sent my sweet mother-in-law to save me! Lisa and I spent the better part of the afternoon at the mall today stocking up on all necessities for my pregnant self over the next few months. I was able to get a few pairs of capris that actually fit comfortably, some really cute maternity tops, some denim shorts that also fit comfortably, and even a long dress. I feel so much better now that I have clothes I can actually breathe in! My utmost thanks (and Brad's as well as he was getting tired of listening to me complain!) to Randy and Lisa for their generosity! What wonderful in-laws I have!

Along with all the cute maternity clothes, I also picked up something that wasn't on the list. I just couldn't help myself! The baby bug has bitten me and I just couldn't go another day without buying something, anything! Lisa and I both saw this in one of the stores and we both loved it. As I was checking out, it just called to me, so... without further ado... here is the absolute cutest baby outfit on the face of the earth!

You can't really see in the pictures, but on one sleeve, it says "Here a moo...", then the other sleeve says "There a moo...", and around the collar says "Everywhere a moo moo". The back has "Moo Moo" on the bottom and a little cow tail! Haha! I absolutely love it and Brad does, too! Lisa thinks it's adorable... Randy, on the other hand, can't believe that we're "going to dress his grandson like a cow!" Oh, I can't wait to see what other outfits we get when we start having showers!
