…and to quickly returning to my normal clothing size. I’ve been charmed by some of the new pieces at, of all places, Old Navy. Maybe it’s the happy, contrasting colors, or the apparent comfort-factor, or the mommy-functionality that’s tempting me. mid-rise pants, $32.50. for schlepping around town in comfy style. hooded henley, $16.50. love those bright blue stripes umbrella, $9.50. darling dots say “bring on the rain!” button front raincoat, $39.50. an ideal layer in cheery yellow

Alma has officially given birth to her first baby. A boy. I’m gearing up to deliver my second, also a boy. Thus, we can’t help but be preoccupied with everything baby–espeically clothes. This time around, I’m finding it much easier to get sweet, snuggly, non-cartoonish infant clothes that are boyish without being silly.
