Guess What I Just Bought?

REGULAR jeans. OK - they are four sizes larger than my "real" size and still very tight around the belly, but I am so excited to have them that I could do some jumping jacks (hey - maybe that's a good idea). Yay for me! Polly also gave me my Christmas/Birthday presents and they are NORMAL shirts that are long and flowy so I can wear those instead of my maternity shirts. Woohoo!

Richie, Jeanette, Max and Polly are all here right now. Richie and Charles just left to go golfing, Polly is asleep, Jeanette and Max are at my mom's still, and Jack is sleeping in his little swing so I have two free hands to type with. We have had a great time.

Yesterday, Jeanette, Polly and I went shopping. Mostly to buy baby stuff but also some stuff for ourselves (after all, Polly doesn't have a baby and wasn't too into BabiesRUs!). It was the first time I have left Jack with Charles for so long. Of course I knew they would be fine, but towards the end of our adventure (we were gone for four and a half hours) I was starting to have separation anxiety. It didn't help that Charles was sending all of these cute little pictures of Jack to me on my cell phone. I wondered if he was trying to make me WANT to come home sooner, but I was still glad to get them.

And of course, Jack and Daddy did just fine without me. But I really missed Jack and didn't want to put him down after we got home! I even feel a little guilty right now about having him in his swing, but figure that I spent all night with him (as little as he his, he can wiggle right up next to me so I usually wake up several feet away from where we first fall asleep) he will be okay in his swing for a bit.

Valerie and Sara are here in a couple of weeks (yay!) so I guess I should practice so we can do some girl stuff (more shopping!) when Charles is home to watch Jack.

I like his triple chins in this one!
