Even though it started with Jen and I realizing we'd forgotten my mother's birthday on Tuesday. We drove up to Mililani and took her to Arby' s at Pearlridge for lunch. It was exhilarating, liberating for us to be able to talk openly with my mother about the pregnancy. She shared anecdotes of her own experiences, worries and cravings. Luckily, also a three-day weekend.
Maternity wear is interesting.
Apart from unusually high waists, most clothes look fairly normal. I was also intrigued by maternity pantyhose and other underwear. Baby clothes were a little scarier. Though the prices don't seem astronomical on the surface, when you're dealing with a wardrobe that's obsolete in 90 days, it adds up quick. We also looked at baby car seats and dressing tables.
