::I honestly am overwhelmed by the fact that I have to buy very few pieces of maternity clothes. I thought I'd have to buy a whole summer maternity wardrobe, since I had a winter/spring pregnancy with Jack, but I think I'll just have to buy a pair or two of capris and shorts. My sister in law is letting me borrow an entire bin of her clothes and Crystal sent me a box of her clothes. Folks, I'm set. This is such a relief to me. I'm so grateful.
I need to take another belly picture because I feel like my waist has grown an inch just since starting this post! My weekly "your baby this week" e-mail said the baby should be around 10 ounces. At Monday's ultrasound he was already 15 ounces. Ouch.
::I hit 1700 sales today. I hadn't really been keeping track since I hit 1000 and it caught my eye today and I was amazed. To all of you who have purchased designs, or sent people to my shop, or have simply encouraged me . . . THANK YOU!
::Between the swine flu and the economy, I'm going to develop an ulcer. We're going to Chicago this weekend, but I heard someone on the news say that they recommend avoiding public transportation. But I don't want to pay for parking everywhere. Ugh. And the economy . . . when I watch the news, I feel like living in Michigan is like being on a sinking ship. Another 21,000 layoffs at least - and for every one layoff in the auto industry about 4 people are laid off in related industries. It's pretty grim. I feel like I know more people who have been laid off than I do people who have jobs.
::I need to figure out what to do for Jack's birthday party. It was such an afterthought last year, and I pulled it all together in just a few days. I'd like to have a little more prep time this time around and maybe put a little more thought into it. I've been doing birthday party invitations for kids having parties in June, and Jack's party will be the 25th of May and I don't even know what I want to do for it yet! Baseball theme? Numbers theme (since counting to 10 . . . excluding the number 5 . . . is one of the things he likes to show off the most)? Finding Nemo theme? I have no idea . . . I'm open to suggestions.
