Venting Thursday!
First, I should tell you that I haven’t been posting much lately because I was waiting to make the announcement. I am pregnant. I am 12 weeks as of yesterday, and feeling very emotional and hormonal. I am going to be using Thursdays as my day to vent!
Not that I don’t feel bad enough that I need to go buy new underwear, I have to decide between Large and Medium (Or XL). I do not consider myself extremely overweight. But I do have plenty of “cushion” to spare. So making the choice of underwear can be VERY VERY depressing.
And don’t even get me started on Bra’s. In that area, I am DEFINITELY not small! A couple weeks ago I went out to get new bra’s and went to Victoria Secret to get measured. This girl comes up to me and asks if she can help me. She is 5 feet nothing, weighs in at 3 lbs and has absolutely NO Chest at all… But hey, I am game. Sure I say. As she takes the measurements she then steps back and says 36 B. Those who have seen me lately, can totally attest to the fact that I am NOT a B cup.
I look at her and said, “Are you on crack? I haven’t been a B since High school… and that was well before you were born!” Okay, so tactfulness was NOT my strong suit that day. Truth of the matter is I am a 36 DDD! And when I told her I needed at least a 36DDD. She said, “OH, we don’t care bra’s that big here.”
So then, I thought… How about the maternity store? They have to have bras that will fit. And when I got there the lady looked at me like I was crazy.
“Why are you looking at nursing bras?” She asks.
“Because I can’t find this size anywhere else.”
“Oh but I don’t think you really want a nursing bra!”
Actually, I just want a bra that fits you skinny little toad! Do you have any idea how painful it is to wear a bra that is 2 cup sizes to small and have your boobs be super overly sensitive! Obviously not! So, store number 2 that I left in tears!
Nice way to boost my already fragile EGO!! I should probably add here that at the time of this “encounter” I was only about 9 weeks pregnant on additional hormones and unable to eat very much without vomiting! Let’s just say she made my bad day, even worse!
And now that I am at 12 weeks, I am at yet another point of facing labels! Apparently, since I am not out of my 1st trimester, I should NOT be wearing maternity clothes yet. However, my regular clothes are either way to big (loss of 15 lbs) or too tight on my tummy that it hurts. And, non-maternity clothes are just soooo uncomfortable right now.
So tonight, I am hitting the malls. Husband and 5 year old in tow, looking for that “in between” clothes that I can wear for a while and not feeling like a total slob.
Wish me luck! I am sure I will have more to post tomorrow.
