Time to go shopping!!!
I have a ton of unused gift cards from last Christmas. Of course I was pregnant then so I wasn’t going to go buy clothes for my non-pregnant self. Then I refused to buy clothes until I reached my goal weight. I had to buy a few things that fit me so that I could get dressed every day, but not a lot. So now, seven and a half months after Alexis was born I am at my goal weight!! I weigh what I did when I got married and that’s 10 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. So now I can go spend all that money I have and get some cute things for my trip to Hawaii!!!
Now the trick is to not let myself slowly creep back up!!!!!
New wardrobe..again!
I took on the monumental task of washing and putting out all of Alexis’s 6-9 month size clothes and put away or give away the 3-6 month clothes. She had outgrown the 3-6 month sizes a couple weeks ago but I hadn’t gotten around to switching yet because of all the washing involved. Yes, I still pre-wash all of her clothes. I get creeped out b/c she puts everything in her mouth including outfits so I want to make sure that I wash away germs and anything else from whoever had handled the clothes in the stores.
I digress. My point is that Alexis now has a completely new wardrobe! Again! This will be her 4th set and she’s only 5 months old!! First she had all the newborn clothes, then 0-3, 3-6! I wish I could get all new clothes every few months!! Of course it’s fun for me to play dress-up with her and see all the adorable new outfits I get to put on her. She has an abundance of clothes and as I was putting away her old ones, I was looking at outfits she only wore once!!
