Once again I have been blessed. I was so discouraged the other day-I went out to try to find some maternity clothes. We have an evening wedding in three weeks and I needed some basic things like jeans as well. I found nothing. Everything was either too pricey or didn’t fit right and I was bummed. I came home. I called a friend to see if she had any maternity dresses I could borrow. She had like, five maternity dresses and two bags full of the cutest maternity clothes ever. There were only a few things I didn’t like or that didn’t fit me. I am set. I don’t think I need anything else. It is all very cute and the type of stuff I would look at but never buy because I wouldn’t want to spend the money. I seriously have more maternity clothes now than I do regular clothes. My closet is jam-packed and Mandy is my favorite. (She has also promised me ALL her little girl baby clothes for both her girls IF we have a girl. I am hoping….)

I am feeling little flutters in my tummy. I love when this starts and I thought I was feeling them last night, but decided it was probably a little early, but today I am sure that I am feeling it. I love when the moving starts happening (or when I can feel it anyway) and it is all I can do to keep going with my day and not just sit there waiting for the next little flutter.
I found out recently that two of my childhood friends are also pregnant. Very cool and kind of funny that we are all pregnant at the same time. One of them (Amanda) is due the day before me and the other (Jennipher) is due in May. It is Amanda’s first and Jenn’s third. I don’t talk to either of them as often as I would like, but I think it is amazing that we are all going through pregnancy at the same time, especially considering how close I was to them when I was growing up. It is something we would have talked about when we were younger and planned on doing. Except we would have been married to brothers and would be next door neighbors. That didn’t happen and it could be a long time before we even see each other’s kids in person, but they hold dear places in my heart and I am sure the Erika of many years ago would pee her pants to know that we all were in fact pregnant at the same time.
