Well I decided that since I can't have a baby shower (lack of friends in the country), that I would have my own little baby shower and go out and buy some cute little clothes so our baby has something to wear in the first few days! I bought NewBorn sizes, but apparently they are only big enough for about a week or so, or sometimes not at all, depending on the size of the baby when it's born. I thought I would post the pictures in case anyone who was thinking of buying a present for the baby knows what we already have. I guess any sizes of clothes above NewBorn would be sensible. The only other baby clothes we have is all the knitting I have done, which is probably not going to be useful until next winter.
So yay for cute little baby clothes! It's hard to believe there is something in my tummy that will soon fit them!
Everything else is going fine - I'm still felling totally normal and not pregnant, apart from the big kicks and punches I get. My clothes are getting much smaller though, and it's getting annoying not having much to wear anymore. I went maternity shopping the other day because I'm getting a bit desperate....but everything is so expensive, and really I am only going to get another 8 weeks wear out of them. I bought 2 nice skirts though which is good, because i only have a couple of pairs of pants that still fit, and even my maternity pants are too small now.
What a fattie I must be! I have one pair of maternity jeans that are still a tincy bit too big, so I guess they will become my best and most comfortable item of clothing for not too sunny days. I actually wore out my smaller pair of maternity jeans. Can't believe it.
And I need all new bras now. I can't understand why maternity bras are so ugly! Underwear shops are filled with pretty and sexy bras for non-pregnant people, but once you make use of them and get pregnant, you get downgraded to ugly, big, giant, functional cover-all things that only come in a couple of designs and weird colours. And you can't wear them under tshirts because everything shows through, plus now I am starting to leak a little, so I get to use lovely breast pads, and they just stand out so much under clothes. Sigh. I really need to sort out this general lack of maternity fashion issue. I've been trying my best to be glamorous, and I do get lots of compliments, but it's getting harder now that i'm a big giant pregnant person, about to explode!
I'm well on the way to the end though - 32 weeks now and only 8 to go. Everyone seems to think I'm so big that surely I will pop early, but hopefully not too early. I think anything after 36 weeks might be ok, but i'd rather make sure everything goes to full term.
We start ante-natal classes on Thursday, so hopefully they will be fun. I have been reading lots of birthing stories on my website thingy with all the other women due the same week as me - it sounds horrible! I'm sure I'll cope though since virtually everyone else gets through it.
That's it for tonight.
