Maternity Clothes Shopping...already.....

This is my belly at 6 weeks pregnant! I'm wearing one of my new tank tops. I hope to wear this same one in each weekly belly photo, so you can really see the difference!


Today I went out shopping with Pam...she was in search of gifts for her youngest daughter, who's 12th birthday was this past Tuesday and I was in search of a few more little gifts for my oldest, who's 10th birthday is the 25th.

We went to A.C. Moore, Target, T.J.Maxx and Kohl's...and not only did I find the rest of Cara's gifts, I found wonderful deals on maternity clothes!! With this being the 4th baby, my belly is showing much sooner!! I have had to at least buy a couple pairs of pants already.

At Target, I did find a really nice pair of dark indigo jeans for $7.48, reg. $29.99.
2 stretchy tank tops for $2.24 each, reg. $8.99.
A pretty, gray flowy top(not maternity) for $4.24, reg.$16.99.
And 3 maternity tops on sale for $3.74-$4.98, reg. $14.99-$19.99.

At T.J.Maxx, I found a super cute regular summer dress...that's super stretchy on sale for $3.00, reg. $24.99.

And finally, at Kohl's...2 short-sleeve maternity tops on sale at 90% off reg price!! One was just over $3 and the other was $2.80.

I think I did really, really well and I'm looking forward to wearing every piece. A good friend has more maternity clothes to pass on to me too, so I will have a nice wardrobe over the next 8 months!

Baby Things

Vintage booties from Angeline, my best friend's oldest daughter. The ties need to be replaced, but other than that, they are in beautiful condition and are beautifully knit!

I found this ADORABLE 3-6m size set at the Thrifty Shopper for $.99!!! It should be just about the right size for Christmas time.

A handspun, handknit hat made by me...a week ago. I had a small amount of this yarn and decided it would be perfect for a baby-size hat! I think I even have enough yarn for baby mitts.

Aren't these precious?? These are from Baby GAP...but I purchased them from the Thrifty Shopper (Rescue Mission) for $.39 each! They each have a name too. The horse is Hazel, the Monkey is Maddie, the turtle is Racer, the ladybug is Lady and sadly, the duck came with no tag...wish I knew what it was!

I found this beautiful book by Anne Geddes at the Salvation Army for $2.99. I love her photographs...so precious!
