This week I have received loaner maternity clothes from an ex-coworker, and two giant boxes of preggy clothes from a friend of a friend, who is now Done with her pregnancy days. This is like getting money from heaven, because it’s extremely expensive to outfit oneself completely for a mere 5 months! Most of what I got will be useful, and some of what I got is actually cute. Ian also unearthed from the mountain of crap in my garage the small box of clothes I used when I was pregnant the first time. Although I’m not at all happy to see my few, oft-worn maternity rags again, at least I know they will fit me. I also know now that I won’t have to shiver in January wearing only an ill-fitting sarong and a pair of socks!
I'm a busy freelance editor and writer, wife to Ian, and mother to two precious boys. I am living each day to the fullest and with as much grace, creativity, and patience as I can muster.
