Keeping Busy and Feeling Better

Filed Under Clothes, Friends | 1 Comment

I am in a much better mood today. Some days suck lately, and some are great. I have determined that the biggest difference is when I have stuff to keep me busy.

Today I met a friend for lunch at Bread Company (aka Panera, for you non-St. Louisans) and we had a nice time. I feel like I am trying to get together with everyone “one last time” before the baby comes. After that I went to the mall and did some shopping. Picked up a bachelorette party gift for a friend, so that was fun to shop for. (If you are reading this, you know who you are, and I need to get your gift to you soon since I can’t make it to the big night out).

Went to Janie and Jack and exchanged a 0-3 month swimming suit for one for next summer. It was really cute but I just can’t see her swimming when she’s a month old. It even has ruffles on the back
And we already had another one for later this summer with a matching sun hat. I think she will have to get pictures taken in that. Went to Baby Gap and bought her a jean skirt and pink shirt. Much cuter in real life, and the stitching on the skirt is actually pink, but here are the pics from their website:

So that was good entertainment for my afternoon… then I got home and had a fun package waiting for me at my front door! If you remember Henry, the little boy I used to take care of, it was from his family. Some cute girly clothes from Gymboree (and NOT all newborn sizes!!) and shoes and a hairbow, and a cloth book. It is so fun to see how much people love Bailey already and how excited everyone is about her birth

Tonight I am meeting with the other bridesmaids from the wedding I’m in this July. We are going to start planning the shower, which will be in late May at my house. We’re doing an outdoor/barbecue-theme kind of shower so it should be fun and different. Don’t want to say too much about it here in case Renee reads this!

Anyway, the fact that I am having such a good day today makes me realize that I need to keep busier- not like crazy busy, but just have things to do. When I sit on the couch too long I drive myself crazy. Thank God I never was on bedrest. I would be nuts by now. I really admire the women who have been through that.
