Mina Grows Out, I Grow In

Yesterday had good moments and bad-

Bad? Car broke down... With Mina, no purse or cell phone, in my pajamas.

Good? Car got fixed for $200, got a clean bill of health from my doc, and found out I have lost weight.

I am doing my best not to hyper-focus on weight loss right now, especially since my time is better spent with Mina. However, I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find that I have lost more weight since my last doctor's visit. I am pretty much back where I was pre-pregnancy.

I said that a couple of weeks ago, but I have been playing with 5 pounds on and off since then. But getting on the evil scale at the doc's office prompted me to do something I have not wanted to do... Try on my pre-pregnancy clothes.

So this morning while it was still cool in our attic, I dug through the rubbermaid bins and pulled out my pre-pregnancy jeans.

I slid them on, one leg at a time trying to gauge if they would even fit over my thighs... I had the sinking feeling they would not. But I pressed on and held my breath as the waistband rounded my hips and finally waist. I buttoned up the fly and voila'- THEY FIT.

"WHEEEEE" I exclaimed from the attic. WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Damon was a bit concerned about my mental health, but then relieved when he realized that this meant I will not be wearing his clothes anymore.

Granted, these are size 16s. Certainly not the smallest I have ever worn, but I am extremely happy that I have clothes that fit again. I can camouflage my still squishy tummy- and that will be gone in time... BUT I HAVE CLOTHES!!! YAYAYAYAY

Contrarily, Mina has grown out of about half the clothes we have in the 0-3 months range. I bought her a new sleeper 2 weeks ago and it was too long in the legs- now she fills it out. She is growing SO very fast.
