Maternity Clothes 101

At Christmas, C's parents were kind enough to give me a maternity-clothes-shopping-spree as my main gift. It was awesome! We hit up Target and Burlington Coat Factory by their condo in Florida, and I scored some really awesome stuff (some of which you've seen in belly pictures I'm sure!)

My issue now is that most of what I got was office-wear and/or cold weather weather. Lots of long sleeves, sweaters, a pair of dress pants and a couple of pairs of jeans (note to self: take blue ones in to be hemmed!). Now that the weather is absolutely beautiful, and at a whopping 15 degrees Celsius (in March!! March!!!!), I'm thinking that a mini-shopping-spree at Old Navy is in order for this Sunday.

I had originally vowed not to have a tonne of maternity clothes. I mean...you only wear them for, what...8-11 months? Why spend a tonne of money on clothes you're just going to box up afterward?! Well, if we decide to have more kids...I'm going to need more clothes. Yes, I realize that every pregnancy is different, and that I could be massively, ridiculously huge and that these clothes may not fit long - but at least it will be a good starting point for a wardrobe...right?

Perhaps, I'm just making excuses to go shopping! Either way...the weather is beautiful, and Momma needs some new clothes (and shoes! Ooooh...shoes!!)

A few selections at Old Navy that have caught my eye...

Oooohh....and these!


How cute would that be?! Especially for our maternity photo shoot next month! Ooohhh....I feel some shopping coming on!
