Today I am 16 weeks and maternity clothes are becoming more necessary. However, our budget these days is very tight, so today we went in search of some affordable maternity clothes. The day started off with a simple plan. First a yardsale or two, then some consignment shops, and then a quick errand. Well, the first yardsale started off interesting. The sign said they had maternity clothes but I could not find anything. They did have some cloth diapers which I considered, but before I could decide I began to feel nauseous (and then I was sick) and so we headed home for a few minutes. Then we decided to run our other errand and then we headed to the consignment shops. The first one was a major success. They had about two to three racks of maternity clothes, but they were very full racks. I got seven different items for all around 45 dollars. (Each individual item ranged from 3 dollars to 8 dollars). Then we went to the second one which had a slightly smaller section and slightly more expensive. I did find a few things. Then we finished the day with a small lunch at a local bakery. It was certainly different shopping, but overall I enjoyed it and feel I got several items that I can wear for a while. I told Steve aftewards that I am officially a "thrifty" shopper. The picture below is the clothes I got!
The down side is this is the second time in a week I've gotten sick. I've felt worse this week then I did early on in the pregnancy. Today I've been working all day to ease the sick feeling.. I'm really not a fan and hope it gets better soon.
