I've begun searching high and low for shirts that I'll wear when the baby is born and finally home with us!
Why do I need new shirts? Well, mostly because I need something that will allow me to nurse (frequently) without completely disrobing everytime. I'm going to be in the hospital, then spending a lot of time at home, so I don't want to invest in a lot of nice nursing tops yet. That comes later, assuming everything works out eating-wise between the bean and me.
There are just a few, simple qualifications that I require:
1) comfortable
2) easy hooter access for a hungry bean
3) inexpensive -- I'm envisioning a lot of spit up and/or leaking here
4) nice enough looking for photos, visitors, and/or an emergency trip to the grocery store
Is this really too much to ask??
I thought finding this item sounded like a pretty easy task.
Why am I so darn naive all the time?
Drew and I spent some time on Saturday looking all over the place for something, anything that would fit the bill.
By the time we got to Wal-Mart (home of all things inexpensive, yet practical) I was really tired, but confident what I needed was within the hallowed blue walls.
After scouring the pajama section to no avail I was ready to give up and go home.
Drew offered to run to the back of the store to pick up some cleaning products we needed while I rested on the cart by check-out. 10 minutes later he still wasn't back and I was beginning to get irritated.
How long does it take to find Lysol? Doesn't he know that we're working on hour 8 of shopping and I'm pregnant?!
Then, like a mirage in the desert, came my prince charming -- not on a white horse -- but even better, carrying a shirt (and Lysol).
Not just any shirt, but THE shirt. The perfect top that I'd been searching for. Here it is:
Notice the snaps that go to the navel. That's awesome.
I almost teared up right there next to the giant mechanical Frankenstein calling to me to "scare him if I can."
Drew actually went through the women's department and looked closely at all the shirts hoping to find the one I needed.
He's so wonderful.
And perhaps just a little magical.
That's too much, Drew is so wonderful! I'm sure Ryan's suggestion would be just to forgo the top all together and let the little one have access whenever he/she needed! Who needs a top when you're at home! I'm not sure the grocery store clerks would appreciate that too much though. I'm so glad Drew was able to save you!
