Imposter.

I made an appearance in Target's and Macy's maternity section today. My mom and I went out to lunch and I wanted to pick up a few things. Just more leggings and one pair of maternity jeans. Yes, I know it's super early for all that. But I have been so uncomfortable since starting IVF. And now I have early pregnancy bloat as well. I've literally worn leggings and dresses to work the last few weeks. Shopping in the maternity section wasn't as thrilling as I thought it was going to be. For a few reasons. The first being that I felt like an imposter and "unworthy" of shopping where pregnant people do. I actually felt more anxiety than I did happiness. I was also feeling pretty sick. Really tired and weak and I seem to have a constant headache. So I wasn't a great shopping buddy today. I'm hoping that (God willing) this pregnancy moves along and someday I will love shopping in the maternity section. And actually feel like I belong! My mom bought us a really cute baby name book today, so it's been fun looking through that :) She was so cute too, because she sat in a chair in Barnes & Noble and read this book about pregnancy for awhile, while I browsed.

We are bracing for Hurricane Irene to show up. I really hope the power doesn't go out, but I'm 99% sure that it will...

An earthquake and hurricane all in one week?? Geez.
