Help me decide which one

If you can't read this, it says "No, I'm not carrying twins. I am due in July. Please don't touch. It's a girl."
These shirts pretty much on the button. I hate when people touch my belly. Especially when it is in conjunction with a comment like "you are too big for 6 months!" or "are you sure there aren't 2 in there?" ... the latter especially bothers me since there were 2 in there at one point.

This week I have had some people say "what, you are pregnant" and then other people tell me there must be 2 babies, they can't believe I'm not due until July (I don't even point out that it's the END of July) and that I must be having a BIG baby. So you can see how both of these shirts might be fitting. They are on http://www.cafepress.com/. I'd say you could order one for me (I actually like the top one best) but you'd never be able to guess my size.

Speaking of size, I officially weigh more than Corey now, despite all of his muscle mass. I must point out before I get in trouble that Corey obtained an 'excellent' on his fitness test this week. He likes to point out that he does pretty good considering his age. I like to point out that I like to not consider his age :)

According to the "official scale" at WHMC, I have gained 17 lbs so far. My OB/nurse is happy about this. Parker is already at my lungs. I am measuring 26 cm at 24 weeks, so I am about 2 cm ahead (almost an inch). This measurement is from my pelvis to the top of my uterus. Can you believe that - over 10 inches!?! She says I am fine. I say if one more person "imagines" how big I'll be by my due date, I am going to scream. Remember that I gained 6-8 lbs prior to the actual pregnancy during the hormone/IVF drug phase. And while I hate to point it out, I started eating again after our wedding. My point is that I am okay according to the OB people, but if I think about how much I weighed at our wedding 2 years ago compared to right now, I might have a nervous breakdown. I am starting to wonder if I can convince the docs to do lipo/tummy tuck at the same time if I end up having a c-section.

We finally got our air conditioner fixed this afternoon - only 2 weeks after the initial diagnostic visit. I called before they came today and explained that I was pretty frustrated that it was taking so long. They were supposed to come on Monday and fix it and about 30 min into the window (when I was already home waiting) they called to tell me the part wasn't in, even though I called last Friday to confirm things. I realized that they forgot about me until Friday and that's why they screwed things up this week. The part was under warranty and all we had to pay was labor. I explained that I am pregnant and haven't slept well since it is hot, so I got them to take down the labor from $485 to $350. Yay me :) More money for bigger maternity clothes? :(
