Capturing People's Attention

****

This is going to be short, because even though it's only a
little before 10pm it feels late and Snookums has already
fallen asleep without me. He had duty yesterday and we
pretty much just passed each other at the front door today
(he was coming home from work, I was leaving for it). I
was hoping to talk to him tonight. Not about anything in
particular, just "hi" and "how are you doing". The usual
stuff married couples discuss.

My day was busy. I tried to plan my time wisely, but when
you're dragging a two year old along with you, nothing
goes as planned. Just getting in and out of the car takes
an extra 3 or 4 minutes depending on the situation. So, I
managed to get the grocery shopping done, Courtney has
been moved back into her tank and I cleaned out the
fridge. Other than that, nothing else got done. The
pictures have yet to be finished and I'm sure there are
other things I could find to do. The walls and laundry.
Always something left, needing to be done.

I haven't worked in almost two weeks. I thought I would
have missed out on a lot, but nothing much had changed.
The merchandise is the same, the promotions are the same.
The only thing that changed is one launch pad. The Bio
Fit. Which, quite frankly I'm not impressed with. Mainly
because it doesn't come in my size, so what's there to
like? I've never heard of a Body By Victoria bra not
coming in a 38DD. So, that was a gratis I missed out on. I
love getting my free bras. I don't want to get one too
small, because I have no idea what size I'll end up being
after the baby comes. Right now I'm measuring at a 36E.
38DD's work, but the cup is a smidge too small and I have
to adjust the band all day, because it rides up my back.
I've never been this big before. Not even with Kiki and I
was heavier before I got pregnant with her. I was a true
38DD. The size of my breasts didn't change, they just got
a little fuller. This time around I've grown massively.
From a 36D to a 36E. 3 cup sizes. Ridiculous.

There must be something about my appearance today that is
capturing people's attention, because even though it
wasn't a particularly busy day at work (not a whole lot of
people coming in), I was told 3 times that I was a very
cute pregnant person. One person told me I was the cutest
pregnant lady she'd EVER seen. Which leads me to believe
that she hasn't seen that many pregnant people. It was
like that before work, too. I stopped in World Market to
look around and people smiled at me. In the Exchange, same
thing. Commissary, ditto. Kelly told me it's because
I'm "glowing". I told her the only thing I was doing at
that moment was dying of heat stroke from wearing my stiff
maternity blazer. I don't sweat, because I'm not exerting
much energy, but I feel very stuffy in it. Like I've got
on one too many layers. Which I do. I curse the day we
started following that rule again. I didn't miss it when
it went away. Now I'm waiting for it to leave again.

That's really all I've got to report right now. Nothing
much happened today. It was a good day, so that makes me
happy. Now, lets just hope I get a good night's sleep and
can repeat it tomorrow :) Ciao

P.S. When I came home, I could still smell my Hyacinth
blooms. I love the way they smell.
