Here we are, it's Monday morning....again. Sigh.
But, how can I be too upset when the weekend was so great!? We're now in the full swing of summer hours at work, which means Friday afternoons morph into another day of the weekend, which is fantastic! This last Friday, despite the urge to take a nap, I decided to be productive. {shocker!}
So, a little background...
I am so blessed with some amazing friends who have loaned me a TON of maternity clothes. We're talking, I've only bought some Target maternity tanks, cause they're phenom, and some non-maternity cotton skirts, some comfy cotton shorts.....and a belly band. Yep, I think that's it. The rest of my closet is full, FULL of clothes, thanks to my super fantastic, amazing, generous, beautiful, sweet friends, Amber and April. These girls seriously rock.
Well, here's the thing, I've been shuffling Amber's maternity clothes from the spare bedroom, and working around my regular clothes, all the while being confused as to what I actually CAN wear. Well, on Thursday, when April sent me home with 3 more bags full of maternity clothes, I knew something had to change. Plus, Amanda's coming in just two weeks, and she's gonna need a place to sleep. I'm guessing atop a pile of maternity clothes is not her top choice.
Anyway, it was closet organization time! I packed up all my regular clothes into boxes to go to the basement until after baby is here {minus my cardigans, as they'll be put to use in the fall} . Then I tried on all the hand-me-downs, and packed up the things that already don't fit to give back to my friends. Then, I organized my closet with the "new" clothes.
When all was said and done, my closet is just as full as it's ever been, but everything fits! {which is an amazing feeling when you're growing by the day.} I am so very blessed. I'm pretty sure I shed a hormone-laced tear over how blessed I am by my friends. I am one lucky, lucky girl. If I had gone out and bought all these clothes I would have spent thousands of dollars, I'm sure.
Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, but I had to give you a visual...can you believe how generous my friends are? Thanks Amber and April!!! Love you both!
Now I'm excited to get dressed in the morning! It's fun having a whole new wardrobe. :)


It is fun to share clothes...especially maternity clothes!!! Congratulations!
