Dress shopping

Yesterday I went back to Kohl's to find a dress for Lily's Christening. Grabbed about six dresses. Was able to zip into a 16 and a snug 14. Then tried on the dress I got in both a large and an XL. The large fit better in the arms and chest, but the XL fit better over my belly, and a girl has to be able to breathe, so I bought the XL. Was so tempted to force the Large, but it is not yet time, so I'm working to accept that. Here's where I am today. I will be at peace with my current size.
