do you ever have those moments where you feel like you're looking at yourself thinking 'who IS that woman?! surely that's not me!'...
now i'll admit i've never exactly been the most pulled together or polished gal, but i've been able to keep up a certain level of style and taste. at least, i used to.
lily and i were driving past a cute maternity store this afternoon and i pulled in to see if they had any cute casual pants. i still haven't started gaining weight but my thickening waistline is threatening the bounds of my current wardrobe and i think at the most i have a few more weeks of regular clothes freedom.
as i stood in the dressing room admiring the super comfy and adorable maternity pants (and pondering why all pants can't be that comfortable) i looked down and saw the price tag. $112. one HUNDRED ad TWELVE dollars??! for pants i'll wear for a maximum of 5 months?!? sheesh.
then i felt something wet on my shirt and looked down and saw a few suspicious wet brownish spots, and upon closer inspection was greeted by the all too familiar stench of lily poo. the child has had diahrhea for 2 days and had poo juice running out the side of her diaper, through her pants, and onto my shirt.
i am that woman in the fancy store with my hair in a ponytail wearing workout clothes trying on pants i can't afford that smells of poo. when did this happen?! :)
is it bad that i took comfort as i walked out thinking 'at least i am carrying the expensive purse i bought when i still had a full time job'?

I dropped Abby off in my jammies today and all I could think about was the beginning of that bible study Makeover--ha! We all have those days :)
oh my goodness this is me. sigh.
At least you didn't get poop soup on the pants. Then you'd have been that same women having to decide to just pray no one notices or purchase the expensive pants that are now soiled. Poor Lily. Give her some Bananas and some Florastor.
The amazing thing I have found is that, I don't even get grossed out anymore. I was at a bank about a month or so ago and my little one literally just started vomiting on me as I was depositing some checks and the teller says "Do you want a kleenex?" (hee hee to clean bucket fulls of vomit)...I felt proud as I walked out of the bank, and not one drop landed on the floor. It was glamorous in its own way....
I crack-up when I read your blog - so funny. Hope Lily is better soon. Congrats on the pregnancy!
I feel your pain. I try to be stylish and it just doesn't work out that way in maternity clothes while feeling like a whale.
You are still awesome enough to win an award, check out my blog :)
I hope Lily is better, Matthew is suffering from his first cold, breaks my heart. Umm, good maternity pants, jcpenny.com. I bought all my maternity clothes there, and their pricing is superb! :)
