Well, my pants are too tight, and they have been since last week. I have been leaving them unbuttoned when I’m not out in public, but they are still uncomfortable. I am worried about gaining too much weight early on, but I have actually lost weight.

So, yesterday I went to buy some cheap jeans in a bigger size at Target. I bought a pair of size 12’s. They are more comfortable on my belly, but they look awful because they are way too big everywhere else. I expect to be in this transition stage for another month or two until I am actually showing and not just bloated. At least I work from home, so I can just wear PJ pants during the day for comfort.

I read last night that morning sickness often starts at 6 weeks, the same week that the baby’s heart starts beating. I’ll be in my sixth week starting Sunday, so I’m interested to see how I feel next week.
