Lately my jeans are starting to dig into my belly when I sit down, so I went out and bought myself a black Bella Band. What a relief! I don’t have to wear a belt anymore (which was digging in like crazy), I can undo my button if I want, and my pants don’t fall down. I didn’t realize how uncomfortable I was until I fixed it.

Spencer had to work six days this week, but he finished in decent time on Wednesday and we took Vega on a car ride to Union Bay and let her run around on the beach. It was a weird beach, with no people and no wind at all, but there were some bunnies.

We also went to buy a couch on Wednesday! We saw this really nice chocolate brown sectional in a furniture store flyer, and it was on sale. They have the "no interest, no payments" for a year deal, so we went in pretty much knowing we wanted it, but we did want to sit on it and try it out. It was the comfiest couch I’ve ever sat on! I love it! Spencer and I both sank into it, it’s so big and cozy. We could instantly imagine ourselves snuggling up to watch a movie on it. (Or not snuggling, it’s big enough that we can both sit comfortably and be nowhere near each other.) It’s a J-shape, and the short part of the J is a chaise lounge-type section. We’re so excited to have people over and actually hang out in the living room. Right now we have a futon in there that we use when we watch movies, but it’s not set up very nicely. All we have besides the futon are three different chairs. The couch will be ready in six to eight weeks, which is perfect because we have to paint the living room and do something about the carpet. It’s going to be so great to have a comfy couch when our baby arrives. Nursing takes a lot of time at first, and I want to have somewhere nice to do it besides the bed!
