As my maternity leave is winding down, I find myself more
and more upset that I have to go back to work. It seems that the only think
that helps is going to the mall to buy new work clothes that I totally don't
need.
Oddly enough, clothes actually fit me better now after
Aubin. Schwing!! I think it is because I used my pregnancy as a 9 month bulk to
eat all the things and still lift heavy as f (while still within reason). This
resulted in nicer legs and a rounder tush for me. That makes shopping so much
more fun...especially that I am in a smaller size than I was pre-pregnancy!! My
belly still resembles pizza dough so, don’t worry, I’m not totally one of those
asshole moms. Nicer butt = pizza belly, Ill take what I can get I guess.
However, the most annoying thing is shopping in stores that
are not accommodating for strollers. I had to Baha over boxes and racks here at
Black House White Market and I totally knocked over a whole rack of shorts at target.How the hell do I get through this tiny space?? |
With that being said, the absolute WORST stores for strollers are the
damn baby stores!! Hanna Andersson, Gymboree, and The Children’s Place are
terrible. You would think they would make lanes big enough to accommodate all
of us mothers with our giant ass strollers and screaming babies. Maybe our kids
wouldn’t be so pissed if they weren’t constantly getting rammed into racks and
tables.
I ended up getting some awesome tops from the "Scandal Collection" at the Limited and then some other pieces at target---Hooray for not looking homeless when I go back to work!! Aubs got some new 4th of July bows, more clothes and bathing suits that she didn't need. I think she ended up getting more swag than I did. Go figure.
She looks totally happy that I just spent some mad cheddar on her. |
The mall does have a pimped out mothers room so it makes it easier to feed her and get back to shopping. Other than that, shopping is the only thing that makes me semi
forget that I have to leave this adorable-chubby-mushy-perfect face in 6 days.
UGHH

I totally thought that about the kids stores too! And the baby stuff is at the back of the store so you have no choice but to knock everything over on your way back. The Industrial Engineer side of me thought that was really poor planning.
