26 weeks

One of my violin students said to me last week, "Sarah, how can you be having a baby when you don't even look like you're having a baby?"

She's in third grade and totally one of my favorites. {Not that I have favorites, because good teachers love all their students equally, I'm sure.}

Anyway, I stood up and showed her the side view of Baby, but she still seemed a little skeptical.

I guess that to some degree how pregnant I look on a given day depends in part on what I'm wearing. Today I started the day off in a skirt (non-maternity; just a regular skirt with an elastic waist). Looking thick around the middle and definitely not normal, but maybe not obviously 26 weeks pregnant.

By evening I was ready to get out of that pair of tights, so I changed into a pair of maternity jeans. Hello, Baby! Much more apparent, I think.

Other than maternity pants, f0r now I'm still mostly wearing my regular shirts and loose-fitting sweaters, a few high-waisted dresses, and any elastic-waisted skirts. We'll see how much longer that keeps working...!
