I lay in bed doing calculations in my head. Over the past 5 years, actually a little less, (57 months) I have been pregnant for 30 of those months. That is more than HALF the time! 3 Kids in 3 years and 4 months. Here is the breakdown: F/W '02 Pregnant with Ellie. Fall '03 Ellie arrives. F/W '04 pregnant with Caden. F/W '05 Caden is 3 months old. F/W '06 pregnant with Max. F/W '07 Max is 8 months old. Now I know why I have NO Fall / Winter clothes. Seriously! And the few things I do have are too big :) b/c I got them just 3 months after having my 2nd baby. The reason why I was agonizing over this when I should be sleeping is because I spent hours this weekend trying to shop for clothes. I ended up with 1 shirt and a skirt/blouse for church. I have no idea what my "style" is or what I like or what looks good. And because I have being buying pretty much "disposable" clothes for the past 5 years since my body has been constantly changing I have a really hard time spending lots of $$$ on an outfit. Sure I found some things I liked but I'm not going to spend upwards of $60 on a shirt. We don't have a mall here so keep in mind my selections are limited. I really really need some new clothes but am frustrated b/c it has been so hard to find anything. And I don't know what is up with all these baby doll shirts. I am NOT pregnant, WHY would I want to wear something that makes me look/feel pregnant????
But on a lighter note Caden snuck into the garage refidgerator while I was getting ready for church this morning and ate through 3 popsicles :) Ellie knew he was in there and didn't say anything!!! Thats what we get for teaching her not to tattle.

what mom can't empathize with this? shawn wonders why we have spent thousands of dollars on clothes and i still have "nothing to wear". the babydoll thing has worked out great since i am pregnant but i agree - wouldn't be caught DEAD in one if i weren't pregnant!!
I have two babydoll shirts, but they barely poof out (I agree, why would I want to look HUGE). The upside is that you wear tight pants, so that makes you look skinny, but it hides a bit of a "I need a tummy-tuck 'cuz I had a kid" stomach. Score!
