I am excited because my mom took me shopping Tuesday and bought me three shirts and three pants (two slacks and a pair of jeans) all of which have enough room in them for baby and I to grow into. Yeah Mom!

I also got to hear some stories from when she was pregnant with me. They didn’t make a lot of professional clothing for women at that time, so she made a lot of her own. And she made a swim suit for herself. I am glad that our society had evolved a bit since then, and proud of her that she made her own clothes and didn’t let the lack of professional maternity clothes keep her from being a pregnant working woman during that stage of the feminist movement.

I am also very grateful that my mom bought me some clothes. Not only did I get some clothes out of the deal, but I got to spend time with her, just the two of us, that I will never forget. It was pretty special, and I had a good time.
