Not that the baby has to, just me. For the first time, I had to suck in my gut (as much as possible) to button my trousers this morning. I don't think I'll be able to button them next week, so I'll be starting the rubber band through the button hole trick, wearing long shirts and looking to see if those Bella Band things work for me. I guess I'm getting big so quickly because it's twins.
I had a meeting with the nurse at the doctor's office today to discuss first trimester screening and other pregnancy do's and don'ts. She ended up mentioning that I probably still have some anxiety about whether or not this pregnancy will work out, and I was honest with her that by now, I do not. And it feels really weird. But we've had three miscarriages and one successful pregnancy. All were through the RE's office, so we really know what good and concerning betas look like, as well as good or concerning ultrasounds, heartrates, etc. This pregnancy is so textbook perfect like Phoebe's was, so I feel fine.
So that said, nothing had better change in that respect. I'd like to go blissfully through the rest of this pregnancy. Worrying about the normal things like avoiding epidurals, C-sections, etc.

Good luck with the rubber band. With my luck, the rubber band would break during a meeting and shoot across the room. Fun times!
Anyway, here's to the bella band. I had it on until my 12th week or so and gave up. My hips grew too wide after that. :)
