Happy New Year- I am purging!!!
And no, I haven't suddenly gone bulimic, I am just cleaning out my closet for the first time in about 2 years. It has actually been a lot of fun. First, because some things that didn't fit prior to me being pregnant now fit and secondly because I have found some hilarious items that I can't even imagine actually buying. Do you have anything like that in your closet?
So, although the task is not yet complete, I have found it to be very motivational and rewarding. It is actually VERY strange and surreal to put on your "normal" clothes after 9 months of gaining weight and getting larger. Your mind really plays tricks on you, like, "really me stomach isn't sticking out 3 feet in front of me?!?!" So I am finding it difficult to wear anything that shows my waistline, but I will get there. Because seriously, who can wear those crazy balloon shirts of pregnancy forever?
I am packing up my collection of maternity wear, combined with the items Kim gave me after she had Connor and putting them into a Rubbermaid container for the next fabulous friend who needs them. My plan is to have everyone who needs/uses the clothes just kind of add their own items to the box and eventually we will have a 4 season maternity wardrobe. My stuff is pretty heavy on the summer items, of course, BUT- I am thinking with a few more pregnancies amongst the friends, we will get there. HINT HINT to my pals reading this: GET PREGNANT!!!!
I hope you are all having a wonderful new year thus far - I certainly am!

I don't know, after the holiday feasting, going bulimic sounds really good.
Oh, and it was great seeing you at Grandma's birthday party! Isn't Chad's mom great? *rolls eyes*
