OMG CLOTHES AND STUFF!!
Maternity clothes fucking suck, let us not kid ourselves. They suck if you are really petite (like me) or of large size before pregnancy. Very few places can accommodate to these special needs. I found one pair of jeans that came close enough to fitting me at Old Navy and completely on accident because the individual stores don't actually carry maternity wear. Target, Motherhood, and any other affordable place you can think of...all useless. Maternity tops, aside from basic tshirts, are all hideous and poorly made. Luckily this year I got pregnant just as the "kitchen and apron" styles became big. My mother-in-law, god bless her, took me shopping for fitting attire at Target. I could find things that fit me in the basic women's sections! I got like 5 tops and an apron dress. Now my belly and breasts aren't exploding out of my clothes. I could still use another pair of pants and possibly some shorts, but I can't ask this wonderful lady for anything else...seriously. She's been way too generous.It's so sad, but these days we have been living off of generosity. New things keep coming up every month just when we think we are in the clear and can make our bills. This month it was a $400 bill for our ultrasound that was totally unexpected. We also have to start paying my Dr to deliver my baby. Only $100 a month until August, and we could totally do that if there weren't all of these other stupid expenses popping up every month. I would really like it if we could furnish our own nursery with our own money, but there is just no way in hell and that is pathetic. We should be able to take care of ourselves and our own kid. It's just getting too hard.
Time to transition before I start bawling...
On a lighter note, I went to lunch with some old Papa John's friends. We ate Chinese. It was fun. Then I went to the gym and walked on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Now I am going to eat ice cream.
