Guess what I did? I “went” maternity clothes shopping. I don’t need anything yet, but I had a gift card to JCPenny’s from my parents and they had a sale online. I found two cute short-sleeved shirts and a pair of pants to buy. Since it’s going to be summer when I’ll need these clothes the most, I thought getting 5 short-sleeved shirts, one pair of pants, one pair of shorts and a skirt would probably be really the only maternity stuff I need. My mom has offered to make a few shirts for me so I might only need to purchase a pair of shorts and a skirt to be all set.
Right now, I can’t even tell I’m pregnant, really. When I wear some pants, the waist band now feels uncomfortable to me. But the baby is still really low in the abdomen, barely over the top of the pelvic bone. I have to wait 5-7 more weeks before I’ll be able to feel the baby moving.
It was so fun looking for maternity stuff though! I had to wait THIRTY-SIX YEARS to finally get to do that, but I guess it was worth the wait! Oh, you know what they call women over 35 giving birth…women of “advanced maternity age”, ARGH! What a stinky moniker. But you know what the medical term use to be for us gals having our first baby after 35…Elderly Primigravida. Thank goodness that term went out of fashion!
