“I don’t want to stress you out,” I told her. I knew being pregnant didn’t make you incapable of doing things but I also knew how B-ry was with her. Really protective.
“No, we need the practice,” Laurel told me with a wave of her hand and a little laugh. “And Chry is awesome. Besides, you say he sleeps through the night. See, no stress.”
“Nope,” Cami said when I went to open my mouth. “If it’s something you want then don’t make excuses.”
Well, she was pretty much spot on.
“Okay,” I agreed.
There were squeals and then a bunch of hugs, making me feel a bit squished in the middle of most of them for a moment.
I ended up getting the dress like I knew I would. I had a feeling that even if I tried to put it back they wouldn’t let me. I also bought two other everyday dresses and a nice little cardigan.
Then it seemed like all the focus was on me as they swept me away to buy accessories to match. The lingerie shop scared me a little, but by the end, I was having fun picking out things and giggling at the poor prospects as they stood waiting near the door looking extremely uncomfortable.
I couldn’t wait to get home and try it all on.
Luckily, we went into the mother and baby store after that and all the attention went to Laurel as we oohed and ahhed over all the cute baby things.
Looking at all the matching bedroom sets made me think about how I would do Chry’s room when we got our own place. It had me a little excited for when that time came. But that was still a little ways off.
It was a good thing I didn’t have to worry about it. I definitely had enough going on right now, that was for sure.
