I saw an ad the other day: 50% all buttons. So I went, of course, my first trip out of the house in days. I was standing there with about ten cards of buttons in my hands when a mother and probably 3-year-old daughter walked up. The mother told her daughter that she could pick out one card of buttons. The little girl ooohed and aaahed, asked "Ich unn you like, Mommy?" and got super-excited about picking out her buttons. I watched with a big smile, and finally said to the mother, "You know, someday she's going to be like me, doing the same thing when she's 30."
And I thought, maybe having a little girl wouldn't be so bad. Maybe she'd love buttons too.
I'm doing OK. I have one hang-up though: I don't want to stop wearing maternity clothes. I picked out so many nice things, and comfortable things. I want to wear them. I want to grow into them. But I won't. And I don't want to take them off. Like my heart panics when I think about going back to wearing regular clothes.
I'm starting a trend: non-pregnant crazy ladies who wear maternity shirts.

Elastic waist pants, roomy shirts that are designed to be cute if you're sporting some extra weight.... One of my saddest points - especially with the last miscarriage - was having to go back to regular zippered clothes!
