My weekend and what I was not prepared for

The one pregnancy symptom that has been persistent the whole time (and will probably continue to do so) is congestion. I started out having a mean cold, and for a while I thought I'd never get over that cough. I finally did.. but was still coughing, and sneezing... gah.
Saturday night was all right. It's interesting how planning and paying attention to the crowd can make a difference. Half the music was so loud you couldn't talk, and the live auction items started all over a grand (there was also a silent auction) They just didn't have that kind of crowd there. Poor Eric, he dressed up nice, just like he was told he needed to, and there were people there in short sleeve button up shirts. But they looked tacky at an elegant event, and he looked sexy. :)
My back and hips hurt the last hour- dinner was served about an hour late, and went very slowly. By the end, I had sat in a Party Plus folding chair for three hours straight... ow. That night I was exhausted, but it took forever to sleep because everything hurt (I love my pillow).
I have given up wearing regular pants... my hips just won't hold them up. But the weather is warmer, so it is time for skirts and shorts. I need to wash them all, I wore one pair, then washed them, and I think they shrunk an entire size (really, Motherhood Maternity?) Of course, I didn't read the tag, but it's not like I washed it in hot water. But they're still plenty wearable.
Grandma brought me a reall muumuu from Hawaii... it's huge. But looks comfortable. I offered to model it for Eric... yeah, he's not excited about it.
