We’re going to get somewhere, I swear. We’re going to make things happen. And it’s about.damn.time. On July 21, 2010, Congresswoman Roybal-Allard (CA-34) introduced the Maximizing Optimal Maternity Services (MOMS) for the 21st Century Act, a bill that includes measures to improve maternity care in our nation.

Ok, I was told about this site called Kiki’s Fashions Maternity and I had to share it because… it’s cheap! When I was pregnant, it was so annoying to find cute maternity clothes that were affordable. Like preggos don’t have enough things they need to spend tons of money on for the new baby, right?!

Happy Mother’s Day, Moms (Grandmas, ha)!
A few more gifts to share….
My first maternity shirt, thanks Jacalyn!!! It could almost be worn as a dress right now, but it’s hilarious… and Jac specifically stated it’s for the lakehouse 🙂 Love it!
Also from Jacalyn: a card that said she hopes the baby inherits my grace and empathetic spirit, Steve’s patience and humor, and a recessive gene for a smaller forehead… hahaha. cute! 🙂
