Spring is here

So my favorite time of the year has to be Spring, despite my allergy and sinus issues...I love, LOVE Spring. Anyone that lives in the somewhat northern part of the east coast knows this has been an extremely hard winter, and I am so glad that the sun is finally shining, birds are chirping and leaves are starting to sprout all over our barren trees. Not to mention that I am a May baby, so I know that Spring is in my blood. Everyone just seems to be in a great mood, kids are out playing, windows are down in cars and up in the houses, cooking out begins and my very favorite part...shopping for spring and summer's new fashions.

So the fam and I went shopping this past weekend because I had gotten the 30% off coupon that was good for Old Navy, Gap and Banana. *BTW...I am loving all the colors that are out this Spring, so bright and "springy".* I love the Maxi dresses and chambray tops(campy ,military style button down tops) and have been buying them since fall '08. Anyhow, since we had 30% off I was able to purchase more things than we normally would have....but I found myself trying on items and wondering how long I would actually be able to wear it this spring/summer, if I do in fact get pregnant anytime soon. I am a normal size girl, that works out occasionally and watches what I eat(most of the time b/c I am a self-proclaimed foodie...LOL)...I don't consider myself small by any accounts, BUT every time I buy anything in Old Navy, I find myself purchasing smalls. While this is conducive to today, what if I do get preggers?? A Small is only going to be wearable for 3-4 weeks at the most, b/c from past experiences with my son's pregnancy and my MC pregnancy. My boobs almost doubled in size within weeks and there is no way these girls are fitting in anything small, which would make all my purchases this weekend a waste of money. I went back and forth on 3 or 4 items for a while due to this "imaginary pregnancy" and the idea of wasting money....but in the end, I walked out with all items. I have finally decided that I can't keep planning my life around this "imaginary pregnancy". So for me, that deserves a big pat on the back....YAAAAY ME :)

~SIDENOTE~ I call it "imaginary pregnancy" not because I am a little "coo-coo", but because I keep planning my life around something that isn't a fact yet. This is the way I refer to it, when talking to close friends about summer and fall plans.
