My first real-clothes-shopping trip since before I was pregnant. I found out I was pregnant on April 19. This would mean that this is my first time to go real-clothes shopping in over a year! After shopping, the 2-and-a-half-hour nap with Owen on the guest-room bed. I love our guest bed so much more than [...]
