Lingerie

Ok ok .. I admit to having a weakness for shopping.  In fact, it's in my blood.  Lately I have gotten much better at it as well (by lately I mean the last 12 months or so).
Beautiful day today.  Perfect.  Sun shining, not too hot .. perfect.
A girlfriend called me this morning and told me that her little boy had the German Measles.  Poor little thing.  O f course, that poses a little problem for me seeing as though I am pregnant!!  Since I saw him just a couple of days ago, I called my OB GYN and asked his opinion.  He wanted a rushed blood test to check my immunity. 
Now the last time I had to go to the hospital for a blood test I was there for over 2 hours, with absolutely nothing to read and had left my ipod at home (d'oh!).  So this time, I wanted to be prepared.  I rang my babysitter, she was available and could be here by 1pm.  Perfect.
Armed with 2 magazines, I went to the hospital.  I kid you not, by 1.20pm I was out.  Done.  Finito.  Blood drawn.  Now I could hardly go home after just 20 minutes, so I decided to do what I do best ... shop.
Into Subiaco I went.  Subi is such a gorgeous place to wander around if it's a nice day.  And as it is near perfect outside, that's where I headed.
Now, I didn't NEED anything (what's the point of buying stuff you need?) so I decided to look at things that I might like ... lingerie.
Being 30 weeks pregnant makes lingerie buying a little hard, but I still managed to achieve fantastic results.  A sexy new black bra lined with red ... hawt.  Some gorgeous silky Willow  panties and Calvin Klein bikini knicks ... plus the most beautiful purple CK's I have seen.  Fairly successful, I thought.  
I defy the image in one of my pregnancy books.  It's of a heavily pregnant woman wearing the BIGGEST pair of undies I have ever seen.  They go over her bump up to her bra line.  Yeah.  Exactly.  Comfortable?  Maybe.  Also quite possibly the best method of contraception I have ever seen.   I may be pregnant, but I'm not dead.
So, I don't view today as just another shopping trip.  It was more a confidence boosting exercise.  And my confidence is definately boosted, LOL!!  One exercise any psych would be proud of!!
