Getting Fatter

Getting dressed everyday is a new challenge for me. I thought I had a difficult time before I was pregnant. That was nothing! I was so clueless to what pregnancy was all about. I have been so bombarded with kind people saying kind things about my appearance and others lending me their maternity clothes. I don't know what I would do without the wonderful people in my life!!! For way too long I avoided maternity clothes thinking that it would be accepting this new physique as a permanent condition. I couldn't be more wrong! Maternity clothing isn't the terrible curse that I used to think it was, it is fabulous! Being able to breathe and bend over are very important activities. I highly recommend anything that allows breathing to happen! This picture is of me at 6 months pregnant wearing my most bendable and breathable outfit. If it was more socially acceptable I'd wear it daily.

On a sad note, dear Mitchell has injured his BIKE. He hurt his body too, but that isn't of much concern to him. The crazy guy was biking home from work (4500 South in SLC) and was suddenly on the asphalt in an intersection! That was the part that stressed me out. He is covered with road rash and bruises with more appearing each day. The only complaints I've heard are about finding and paying for the parts to fix the bike. He took photos of the piece of road he blames for his bike's accident. It happened so fast he only guesses that his tire got caught in a gap next to a storm drain and it flipped him over the handle bars. I'm sure he has pictures of his bike's injuries, but for sure, no photos of his scabs and bruises. He is such a funny guy with a devotion to biking! I'm sure his son will think he's pretty cool and catch the biking bug as well. I wonder if they sell newborn jerseys and helmets?
