All excited...parcel from America

In the best US/Irish tradition, Mam came back from Boston with a suitcase full of hand-me-down maternity clothes. I've gotten to the stage where I'm a bit sick of wearing the same stuff, so I was all excited about what I'd find. It was like opening a birthday present, I'd dreams of pretty dresses and girlie tops, lots of colour to get me away from black. Based on the last box that came from Boston I knew there would be a few misguided clown pants in there but a few gold nuggets as well.

Imagine my horror when I opened the suitcase and out burst about 100 breastfeeding pads, a couple of huge maternity bras, and knickers that would be too big for Sean, never mind me. I'm not ungrateful, in fact I'm very grateful that I don't have to go shopping for these things, but is this where I'm headed? Am I really going to get that big? And what the hell are super maxi disposable pants extra large??? They're in a sealed bag that I'm too afraid to open!

Teasing aside, there's a few gold nuggets in the mix...thanks Tar.

  1. They are all gold nuggets, trust me! You can just add the eye-brow raising items to the long list of things nobody ever told you about pregnancy/labor/motherhood...and with good reason ;-)

  2. LOL, don't open those XXL panties! By the time you need them, you will not see the bottom part of your body anyways, so you might as well wait till then : )
