It was in the last week of May, my friend Dorie, accompanied me in municipal hall to get date schedules and information, payment info and alike for a shaded concrete tables and chairs to where my baby shower will be held. We chatted over the phone the other day and that certain early in the morning to where we will meet.
Then the journey began. I have to walk the distance, it's not far. My friend did not have her breakfast yet (apparently, I already had mine), she plans to eat in Subway before heading to our meeting place. Since it is not far, I decided to head there first and then we will going together in municipal hall to inquire. And it did.
And the next thing I know while I was in municipal hall whilst talking to the information person, was, I fainted.
When there is maternity dresses, there is also maternity sandals, shoes and slippers to pair with the dress. To coordinate colors, is great. Even if I have already several shoes, sandals and slippers, I still like to have the soft and new ones intended for a pregnant woman. Carrying a baby-in-my-tummy is weightily. And concern folks told that it is great to have comfortable ones. And so, I shop for flip-flops online.
And those were I got. Casual Merona flip flops which are very soft in the in-soles and the Mossimo ones to go out. I find it comfortable to my feet and I love it. It serves it purpose!
This pregnant woman was with my friends and kids in a house (in my friend Preciel's house), in the backyard particularly. Her backyard is cool and slightly hill with a big tree, that is why even if the weather is hot, it is still cool in there. You will feel cool because of its atmosphere. It is also pretty big and we like to stand-by in there in the afternoon. Now, here comes her dog, a poor dog was dead. Preciel even cried because that is a very loyal dog, not to mention of how many years that dog was with her. Being guarded and protected is such a heavy feeling of an owner when he's gone and I can feel the pain. Anyway, the couple buried it on their backyard. And one friend wants to see the buried place. Dorie thought it is located afar not knowing it was just near where we stayed. Because of curiosity, I went with Dorie and kids up then picked-up some fruits too which Preciel's kid got for us. I was happy reminiscing the province field. It looked-like we are in a province though we're just in a backyard slightly uphill with some fruit and tall grasses. Reminiscing that life was some kind of really, really fun. Then off we went down, there you go, I slipped on a cogon grass! Goodness! Because of excitement I forgot am pregnant. My behind bumped-in and eyes became big in the thought that there would be something happened, "hope not" in my thought. Dorie got startled and comforted me. She got my hands and helped me going down until I sat in a chair. She and my other two friends really got worried. But I was fine. Thanks God. Dorie even monitored me even when I was already at home. But I felt nothing and did not even went to doctor and told her. I was fine and doctor can't see any problem on my pregnancy so I just didn't told her but I have to be extra careful.
This pregnant woman is not a perfect person. I guess everybody, not. Meaning, we make mistakes (just like my shopping journey of my maternity clothes) and we just have to learn from it and we are good to go. The dominating color red below was one of the maternity dresses that I like. I made a couple of looking-out unto it before I made a decision that I have to buy it. Days later, I found myself did not like it anymore. Good thing, I did not use or wash it yet. And the tag was still there.
That stripe shirt was intentionally put in there so the dominating color red dress is visible. :-) Though that black and white stripe shirt is also memorable to me. Why? That is so, because that is my first shirt bought after I knew I am pregnant and was used during a gathering of friendship in Almansor Park in the city where I live. I am confident it suits me good. :-) So the only item I return in the pic is no other than the dominating red color. That's a maxi but not that long, it's just coincide to my height. What I don't like is the garter-look above my tummy. I can sense this dress will outgrew fast on my progressive size of my tummy. No matter how I like it, my precious baby-in-my-tummy is far more important. And yep, I returned it. Was accepted without any question's ask because of all the store's tag is present.
