My thoughts on pregnancy

My friend suggested to me to keep a journal of what happens during my pregnancy. I believe she knew I would not be able to hinder the sarcastic soul that lives inside of me. So as a tribute to Miriam, here is my first entry.

FAT 5/5/09
I have never been a waif nor close to skinny. It does not bother me because I strive more for healthy than anything and skinny does not mean healthy. As the days go by I can’t fit into my regular size clothing, but I am too small for the next size up. I am stuck in fat limbo. I wear a pair of pants for one day and they stay on okay. Side note-I wear my clothes more than one day because Dennis is in charge of the wash in the house. Basically I forget about it and he does it. On day 2 of the wear my pants will not stay up by themselves. I think if I had a little more back side instead of my back with a crack it would help. I spend the day pulling them up as they slowly slip down. Many right now might be thinking in their heads, Natalie you idiot, put a belt on. Novel thought, but the belt hurts. It apparently squishes where it is not to be squished. I am getting close to wearing suspenders under my clothing so my pants will stay up. This is a trick my father does and it serves him well. I am wearing the culprit pants today and we will see how the day plays out. If I have the same problem tomorrow, I am borrowing my dad’s camo suspenders.
