You Can Call Me Aunt Betsy

It looks like I’ll be an aunt some time in Dec, my sister-in-law just announced the news to the family last night, via email of all things. It used to be that announcements such as this took place at a family dinner or functions, but since everyone is so spread out that is a rare occasion in it’s self. At least it wasn’t announced on Face Book or My Space, my mother would really have had a fit!

Since this is going to be her baby, she is going to be in need of a lot of things. Maternity Clothes being top at the list. Being pregnant can be a challenge and during the cold winter months she needs to be warm and comfortable as well. She plans on continuing working so she will be looking for and wearing professional, designer maternity clothes for many months to come.

For now she is looking online for some nice Maternity capris to keep her going until it gets cold out. There hasn’t been any pregnancies in the family for so long that no one has any hand me downs to turn her onto. It’s a good thing that she is a smart shopper and has a good nose for bargains and online is a great place to find bargains these.

A New Baby In The Family Expected in August

My sister Jenny is expecting their fourth child in August and she is just now starting to show her baby bump. You would think that since she already had three kids that being pregnant would be almost old hat by now. But this pregnancy was not exactly planned. It was a nice surprise. Jenny is a great mom and she loves doing things with her kids. After her last baby almost five years ago, she thought it WAS her last baby so she gave away all her maternity clothes. Now she needs to move out of regular clothes and into maternity clothes and money is really tight, so my family is going to pitch in and help her buy several things so she has nice clothes to wear to work.

As important as it is to have some nice work clothes to wear Monday through Friday, we also need to start looking for baby items as well. Yard sales and Flea Markets are always a great way to get a good amount of baby related items. But there are some things that are better off being bought brand new. And course there will be a couple of baby showers being held that will help out with numerous items as well. They will most likely through her one at work and of course friends and family will be planning on one as well, so that will help out with a lot of things for her and the baby. This is so exciting, we haven’t had a new baby in the family in quite a few years!

My best and closest friend is soon to be a grandmother. Her oldest daughter has just announced her pregnancy and the whole family couldn’t be happier or more excited with the good news.

Family Fun, Back in the Day

I remember when my little sister announced her pregnancy to the family. The first of us girls to start their own family, what an exciting time that was. We couldn’t wait to hold her a baby shower, shopping for a new baby is such good clean fun. It turned into one big family affair!

We even had fun taking her shopping for maternity clothes. Back then we had the Internet, but we didn’t use it much for shopping such as we do these days, so we would hit all the malls on the week ends looking for the latest fashions for our sister who was rapidly gaining weight and really needed some maternity clothes that would keep her comfortable, while keeping her in style, looking all cute and trendy. She was tired of wearing just the loose fitting clothes that we had gathered up for her to wear at her beginning of the pregnancy.

If we had only had the Internet at our finger tips we could have found an unlimited amount of unique and cool looking maternity clothes, like what can be found at kikisfashions.com  but it was just as well as it wouldn’t have been as much fun as what we experienced back then.

Now how cute is this? Found at Kiki’s Fashions.

Maternity Fashions

My sister-in-law’s pregnant belly is really starting to show now. It is so much fun to have a new baby on the way in the family. She is looking into purchasing some new cool Maternity Clothes online that look good, aren’t expensive and are comfortable for her to wear to work. She intends to keep working right up until the baby is due, which is supposed to be some time this up and coming June.

For her baby shower I plan on buying and giving her a moby wrap that I found on the Internet. I found a few for under $40, which is a decent price. I think that these nifty little contraptions are pretty cool and I’m sure that she will enjoy it and use it a lot, or at least I hope she does. The baby shower should be fun and I’m sure she will make out like a bandit with all kinds of goodies for her and the new baby.
