Tuesdays and elastics

Two of my new favorite things...

I’m adding favorites to my repertoire that I never thought possible.

For one, Tuesdays are one of my new most favorite days of the week. I have always loved Fridays because they bring the freedom of the weekend. I loathe Mondays because they mean back to the work-week and always seem to drag on FOREVER. Tuesdays have always been just okay. Nothing special. They don’t quite bring the mid-week excitement of the weekend or the weekend excitement of sleeping in (which I’ll be likely saying a sad farewell to in about 6.5 months). Also, Tuesdays have always been the day I get my period, NOT really something I look forward to. At. All.

But NOW Tuesdays mark a new week in Baby B’s life. I love Tuesday mornings because I get to read all about what the new week will bring in little B’s development it also brings me and B closer to the end of the dreaded first trimester. This past Tuesday marked 10 weeks and only 30 more weeks to go. Crazy. Bring on next Tuesday!

Elastics… well. Favorite might be a stretch. More of a necessity as of yesterday. You see, I’m at the really awkward stage of gaining weight, particularly in my middle, but not having that cute and super obvious. To those that don’t know about B yet (which is most people I encounter on a day-to-day) I look like I’ve just let my married self go. I refuse to buy maternity clothes until at LEAST 2nd tri but I’m really pushing the limits on my pre-B clothes. Hair elastic to the rescue! Apparently you can wrap these little magicians around your button, loop through the button hole, and back over the button to give you a solid extra inch/inch and a half more breathing room.

So B, you’re changing my views on the days of the week AND helping me find a whole new use for my hair elastics. Much appreciated!
