Boy Dildine


Our baby boy is growing. And he is growing by leaps and bounds. I went in for an appointment two weeks ago and the doctor moved my due date from September 4 to August 31. He also weighed 9oz. (1/2oz. larger than average).



Since that time, I have grown out of most of my clothes (I know you can’t really tell in the picture but it is true!). I have one pair of jeans that are going the distance so far, but the rest are too tight and uncomfortable. On Tuesday I wore this cute yellow skirt that used to be a little loose on me. By lunch I had to change in to soccer shorts as the skirt was cutting off circulation to my lower extremities. Wednesday night (after Matt fixed my broken down car-another story for another time) we went to a Maternity store to look for some shirts and some shorts for my ever expanding belly. I tried on EVERY pair of shorts in the store. After an hour of trying on clothes I found one pair of shorts and a dress that I actually liked. Before leaving the dressing room I checked the price tags…to my astonishment the khaki shorts I liked were $58. I was crushed. They were cute, but not $58 cute. So reluctantly, I left those shorts behind and just bought the dress. Mission failed. I went in for shorts and shirts and came out with a dress.


Luckily, my mom scored big time at Target. When I went to Target last week I didn’t see anything that I liked. Target normally has really cute maternity wear. Unfortunately, they are having a bit of a cute fashion dry spell at this time. My mom hadn’t heard of my disappointing Target trip so she went to check some things out for me. She found “hidden” (those are her words) some shorts. Just the style I was looking for! She gave them to me last night and they fit great and looked good. I have the best mom. Now I don’t have to torture myself in the hot weather with jeans. I can also give my beloved jeans some rest.
