Dude....my wife is pregnant?

So during this whole pregnancy, I've whined commented to my husband that some days I think he forgets I'm even pregnant. I hear about all these other husbands who talk to the baby all the time and dote on their wife hand and foot. I rarely get any of that. Hmph. Perhaps I need one of those husbands instead. I kid. Don't get me wrong, he's over the moon excited, he just shows it in a different way...which usually in my eyes is the wrong way.

Well over the weekend my hubs and parents trekked over to the outlet malls to peruse the Motherhood Maternity store. It's at that point I think it finally hit him.

The five positive pregnancy tests...(yes five, a girls gotta be sure)

Our first ultrasound, seeing the little peanut on screen
Hearing the heartbeat

My somewhat growing, flabbier belly

Picking up our baby furniture

Wandering the overwhelming aisles of Babies R Us

None of this seemed to do the trick.....

But trying on maternity clothes with that ridiculous fake, Velcro on bump....

that's what did it for him?

I walked out of the fitting room and the look on his face was of utter shock. OMG, my wife really is pregnant. And he must have told me about 5 more times that weekend how cool it was to see me actually look pregnant. If I knew all it was going to take for him was to see a fake baby belly, I'd have shoved a pillow up my shirt months ago! Boys are funny.

I only wish we'd have thought to snap a quick cell phone picture to post...I really did look about 20 months pregnant, it was rather amusing. Oh well. Maybe next time. Here's a few of the things I picked up! Hurry up spring (and baby belly) I want to bust out my new digs!

I'm thinking red shoes...way more fun!

This side rucheing business seems to be the rage in the maternity world. I must admit, it is rather flattering...and as the sales lady so wisely said, it helps you look pregnant, not just fat. Umm...music to my ears, sign me up for about 20 of those!

I think I actually "squeed" when I saw polos. The world is where it should be...my staple spring/summer shirt. The one I got is yellow...I'm sure more will be added to the collection considering my non preg wardrobe has practically one in every color.

The classic white shirt. Note the elastic under the boobs...that's key! Otherwise those blousy ones just look like mumus! It looked especially good with my black polka dot bra underneath.....
