fact:  zulily only has cute maternity clothes when I have no need for them.  

... or if you work on the starship enterprise.  what the heck is this dress about?  all she needs is a transponder.


fact:  we live one town outside of connecticut and nobody knows or cares about women's basketball.  10 minutes south and nobody talks about anything else.

fact:  there are not many more infuriating articles of clothing that top maternity pants.  i feel like i spend half the day jumping to pull them up.  (i count that as my daily exercise.)

perhaps that's because... fact: i'm in the awkward too big for regular clothes, not big enough for maternity clothes stage.  

also, fact:  my bump looks bigger than it is because its covered in fat.  this was not the case last time, likely because i ate all healthy last time and this time all i want is donuts.  (note: I restrain myself 6 out of 7 days a week at least.)
