Maternity wear and nappy wars

Today I managed to score some bargains in the maternity wear department. Two pairs of shorts for $5 each (reduced from $25 each) and a summer skirt for $20 (reduced from $70). I was wondering what I would be wearing over the last two months of my pregnancy…. For the last two, I was big and pregnant in the winter, so I don’t have any lightweight maternity clothes. In addition, because I was working full or part-time while pregnant with the other two, my maternity wardrobe is fine on the corporate stuff, but less practical for the rigours of Playcentre and rolling around on the lawn.

I have also been bidding for some nappies for the new baby on Trademe. I am probably the last person in New Zealand to start using this site (well, I’m using Brendon’s username – I wouldn’t have bothered if I had had to set myself up). The nappies are part of a number of charity auctions, so I was quite happy to bid reasonably high, knowing that the money was off to a good cause. I haven’t won anything yet (although I was leading in 4 auctions simultaneously at one point, which would have left me with more newborn nappies than I needed!).
