Baby Clothes
Matt was able to find all the baby stuff in storage over the weekend, so I’ve been busy sorting and washing in my spare moments. He was also able to find my summer maternity clothes (yay!) and some more summer stuff for the kids but his shorts seem to have disappeared. Unfortunately all my summer clothes were bought for my pregnancy with Gregory (who was due in December) so they are all early-mid pregnancy rather than absolutely gigantically huge as I am now. But I did find a few things I can wear now, and at least I’ll have lots of summer post-partum clothes already out and available.
The kids really enjoyed looking at all the baby clothes with me and were both incredulous that they once wore things that small. I’m always particularly taken by those little baby undershirts. They are so tiny! It was fun to point out to Emma the outfit she came home from the hospital in, although Gregory started asking, “Where Gregory’s outfit? What Gregory wear home from hospital?” Alas, there was no such thing and I couldn’t even appease him by telling him what his first outfit was. Ah, the poor second child, no one remembers those details quite so well the second time around.
I’m 14 days from my due date at this point, but I’m not allowed to give birth this week. My mom is in New York until Thursday, one of my midwives is on a week long field trip with her daughter, and my mother-in-law (who will take the kids when I go into labor) will be gone Thursday and Friday. Good thing I don’t feel particularly close!
