Beyonce Brings Back the Morning Sickness

Ever heard Beyonce's song "Halo"? It's a pretty song -- right? Well, for the past few weeks I've realized that the song induces morning sickness for me. It totally makes my stomach start to churn and my gag reflex start to go wild. YUCK! I finally realized what the issue is -- that song launched on the radio at the height of my morning sickness during the first trimester. Just like the thought of Ginger Ale or Saltines makes me now want to vomit, the memories of feeling terrible day after day come sweeping back as soon as she belts out the first note. Sorry Beyonce, but I can't WAIT until "Halo" gets canned. Nothing personal : )

Prego Pencil Skirt?

A prego pencil skirt. That seems like a complete oxymoron to me! But being in desperate need for cute (yet budget-friendly) maternity-wear, I am willing to try anything. The skinny jeans were a success (IMO at least!), so maybe the prego pencil skirt has a little hope. Although, I must say, I'm currently shaped more like a bulky eraser than a sleek pencil.

Here is the one I ordered, again from Target: http://www.target.com/Liz-Lange-Target-Pencil-Skirt/dp/B001C1ELSS/sr=1-1/qid=1248819939/ref=sr_1_1/187-1496655-9239228?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Amaternity%20pencil%20skirt&page=1

I will let you know how it turns out.

Has anyone else found any cute yet affordable prego-wear? Send me your links!

Peeking Through My Belly Button

I was up in NY over the weekend to celebrate my niece's 3rd birthday. She is such a cutie pie -- just the sweetest little girl you could ever imagine with her big blue eyes and blonde hair. Well, she was acting a little silly at the table one afternoon, trying to get her Aunt Zoomy's (me) attention, so I decided to tell her a little fib. I told her that Baby Billups was looking out through my belly button, so that she had to be on her best behavior so she could set a good example for her baby cousin. She looked at me with wide eyes and said, "REALLY? Baby Billups can see me?". I said "Yup!" and we went on with our meal. Well, later in the day, Ellie was on the potty and asked if when she was done, if she could look at Baby Billups. I was a little confused, but then she got up, walked over to my belly, lifted my shirt, and put her eye up to my belly button! She said it was too dark in there to see anything. : ) Gosh, I love that little girl! She really makes me laugh.
