I am going to have a baby THIS MONTH!!! Somehow, knowing this, it's given me a second wind. Suddenly the thought of being pregnant for another two weeks doesn't make me want to melt into a puddle of soggy tears.

I bought some baby clothes today. This is big news because Baby Brother was going to just wear Alex's hand me downs and besides a couple of packs of plain white onesies, I hadn't gotten to do any shopping for itty bitty baby duds this time around, which was really a bummer because that's the best part isn't it? Anyhow, I bought some super cute stuff. A onesie with a pair of sunglasses printed on it that will go great with Alex's old black and red flame Baby Legs, a Grover onesie with little blue shorts (more like a diaper cover than shorts) and a little sleeveless outfit with whales on it that has the cutest little sailor collar (John does not like this one).
I also did a little shopping for Alex, getting him a new swimsuit and swim shirt, a pair of Mickey Mouse flip flops and some white t-shirts that I plan to make into "I'm a BIG BROTHER" shirts.
In even cooler news, I bought myself two pairs of pants and two shirts in NON MATERNITY sizes. Sure, they're just capri length yoga pants and t-shirts, but the point is, THEY ARE NOT MATERNITY WEAR! YAY! Oh, I can't wait to slip my skinny-by-comparison body into those in a couple of weeks. And see my feet even! Sadly, I also purchased a couple of fugly nursing bras. They just don't make those in cute do they?

I'm as ready as I'll ever be for the baby. I've just got to shave my legs and I'm good to go! Last time I shaved my legs WHILE IN ACTIVE LABOR. This is not recommended.

In unrelated news, the phone book is gone. I won! John picked it up so he could mow the lawn. Score one for me :)
The more fugly the bra the better for John's sake. I am sure your breasts will again be like the forbidden fruit, firm, perky, and totally unavailable to him. That is how Nathan felt also.
ReplyDeleteI found a cute black nursing bra with lace that sadly I never used I just ended up pulling up my shirt and bra together call me lazy....hopefully that has not caused them (my breasts) to go further south.
I am so excited to meet Baby Max this month! But you can't have him this weekend, lol (Friday 6th - Monday the 9th, I will be out of town - will blog later about it).
ReplyDeleteWhat you think his Grandma Jen isn't going to get Max new clothes?! We have some already but will get more.
Congrats on the phone book experiment.
BTW shaving is overrated. If you really want to prep for labor pain get your legs waxed. Now there is an adventure. Just don't do the whole leg all at once, maybe the lower legs and bikini. Then it lasts longer than shaving. Oh it is painful, don’t get me wrong.
