Nosy MIL and Clothes
So would you consider "So, have you gained any weight yet???" to be an obnoxious and rude question from your obnoxious mother-in-law, or pretty par for the course? I'm about 17w now, was about 16w when she asked.
Also, can I just say, switching from regular clothes to maternity clothes (assuming you are at that point physically and emotionally - it took me a while to be "ready") has been AWESOME. I look pregnant rather than like I just gained a bunch of weight and it has done wonders for the way I feel about myself. My parents gave me a Pea in the Pod gift certificate for Christmas and I scored a bunch of comfy and stylish t-shirts on sale, and since that made me so happy I went out and got my first real pair of maternity jeans from Target. It's just nice to wear clothes that work for me, instead of having to work to fit into my old clothes.
