Today I went to Motherhood Maternity and got a nursing tank in a size that fits me now, at 27 weeks. I am assuming my belly will be smaller than it is now once baby girl is born and my boobs will probably be larger so the shirt will still fit because those things will exchange space and even out. At least that is what I'm hoping. I think I'm right. I know my body pretty well. I also got some maternity shorts that fit now. They are the same style and size as the ones I bought just before Christmas and they still fit perfectly. Those were black and the new ones are sky blue. It is totally out of my style realm to own colored shorts but I love them.
I got this pull-down nursing tank in charcoal heather gray.
I also got a little gift for baby and mom from Motherhood Maternity and inside was a New Avent Natural Bottle, a sample of Butt Paste and numerous coupons. Among the coupons was a gift card for a FREE Seven Everyday Slings sling. I was JUST telling Joe last night that although we have a carrier, I'd really like a sling so I took this as a "sign" to go ahead and order one. ALSO, this sling is simple, sleek and basic but can be used for infants lying down and older babies on the hip. NICE! I ended up paying for the option size return fee of $3.50 and shipping plus the difference of the upgrade which includes the coordinating diaper pod and baby legwarmers. I got all three in black.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a little stressed about buying nursing bras. It's hard enough to find a regular bra in my current size but I'm growing and if I have to go up one size and find it in a nursing bra, this is bound to be a challenge. I have requirements in my bras. The bra MUST be underwire for day-to-day wear. I simply am not naive and KNOW that a softcup does not hold up a 38I rack. No matter how you spin it, it's just not realistic. A sleep bra is a different story. That story will come later when I buy one. I also do not want a thin cup with multiple sections. Three-section bras, for example, tend to shape you into a sort of wide cone or pointy shape. I don't naturally look like this so it's quite uncomfortable to be "forced" into an unnatural shape like that. I want a solid, seamless cup or something that is thicker or lined so the nice round shape is not lost in the fabric. I think I found what I'm looking for. Oh, and did I mention it comes in my size?
Another coupon code presented itself after ordering the sling and that was for a Boppy-type nursing pillow from nursingpillow.com. I got this one with total cost (shipping) of $12.90. Not bad, huh? I already have a Boppy brand nursing pillow but it can never hurt to have a spare for when one is in the wash.
All in all I feel like I scored a bunch of necessities today for super cheap. I also FINALLY bought the Summer Infant Contoured Changing Pad. We will be buying a gray and white chevron cover for it from Etsy.com.
