Shopping is not for Preggo today...

Um.  Yeah.  Went shopping today at one of my favorite stores!  Even had the store manager and DISTRICT manager helping me and Tammy pick out some awesome clothes!  Seriously, they had this crinoline skirt in black that would be my new favorite...  and it was about two inches from fitting.  NOTHING fit.  One of the stylists made it (unintentionally) worse by showing me flowy sweaters and shapeless dresses.  Now, yes, it's my own fault walking into a store that sells nothing over a size large.  There's no maternity section, obviously.  So, I sat my slightly-bigger self down on a chair and just watched shopping happen.  Something about still being close to the activity made it seem like I was a part of it, I guess.  Tammy walked out with armfuls.  Preggo got a little pouty.  At this stage of pregnancy (you know, the 40 week long part), it takes almost nothing to set me off.  Sunday I sobbed in the car just because someone mentioned --  well, it's just too embarrassing to explain.  :)  Nevertheless, my triggers are pretty much anything and everywhere.  So today, sitting in a boutique watching someone else get pampered by stylists...well, at least I didn't cry in front of anyone.  However, all is not lost!  I sucked it up, kept a brave face on for my friend who was having a marvelous time, and convinced myself that SOMETHING would work for me!  (And, well, when I set my mind on something, it's sure as hell happening.)  So, I walked out with two fabulous clutches!  I also got the cutest silver medallion necklace with a V on it...and I'm going to add a smaller gold medallion with the baby's initial!  Anyway, moral of the story is twofold:  Preggos, accept that your beautiful body is changing.  You wouldn't expect to take a child with you shopping and you both fit into one dress.  It's exactly the same situation.  But accessories will always fit!  And non-preggos, seriously, be fairly warned.  I could cry pretty much over anything.  And it WILL be your fault--not the baby's--so just take it.
