SJC has officially busted out of her blue jeans, and will be modeling tomorrow in some maternity-style stretch pants for third installment of the baby bump photo series. She got the pants a few weeks ago when she went shopping with her friend Corrine. And it's a good thing she made that trip, because we're kind of at the breaking point on clothing here at 9818 Oakdale. SJC is scheduled to go on a maternity shopping marathon next weekend with the grandmothers and the great-grandmother, but circumstances might require a trip for some stopgap items this weekend. The word on the street --- believe it or not ---is that the maternity section at Target is the place these days for twentysomething pregnant women. We even know a friend of a freind who is not pregnant but shops in that section "because it's simply got the best clothes, period."
I must say, I'm not sure how I feel about going maternity-clothes shopping. Of course, I'm not talking about how I feel about spending money on maternity clothes; obviously, we need to buy them. I'm talking about how I feel wandering around the racks at maternity-clothes stores. I don't like going clothes shopping under any conditions, and I'm strongly suspicious that going maternity-clothes shopping is an even more harrowing experience. I'm not even sure why, but my instincts tell me that it's probably better as an all-female event. But whatever, I'm hosting my second Friday-night all-women gathering at my house tonight, so maybe the world is spinning a bit differently these days.*
I did get Sarah a Bella Band off the internet a few days ago. I'm curious if it will be the lifesaver that many women (not to mention its website) claim it is. I'll let you know.

*And by "hosting," I don't mean "I own the house and people are coming over." I mean, "I just personally cleaned the house from top to bottom, went to the grocery store, prepared a three course meal, and am currently taking a break to blog before I finish dusting the living room." Like I said, the world is spinning a bit differently.
