TMI

This post is going to be TMI...but it's my blog and I want to write about it, so if you don't want to read TMI, then don't go any further.

Yesterday, I took the plunge into the world of granny panties. I had to buy them for after the baby is born and I want to wear something comfortable. They're lovely, let me tell you. I also bought a nursing bra. What a clever contraption...I must say. I've been told to buy only one now and then wait to see what "the girls" do after the baby is born. So wait I will, although I can't imagine them bigger....eee gads!

Finally, I had to buy breast pads. They're like maxi pads for your boobs. Kinda gross if you ask me, but apparently, sometimes milk just wants to come out. Ewww. Anyway, why is it that when you go to a store (Motherhood Maternity) to buy something specific (breast pads only) does the clerk think you are there to buy the ENTIRE store? I walked in yesterday and picked up the box of pads and the clerk asked..."is this your first baby?" Dumb me said yes. She then asked (in a very condescending tone, I might add) if I had my nursing bras. Pleased that I was prepared with a well-researched answer, I told her I bought one for the reason stated above. She then said..."well, do you have your sleep bra? How about nipple cream." O.k. wait a minute. Some total stranger is trying to sell me cream for my nipples? First of all, I don't even know what the hell that crap is, second...I don't even know if I'll need such a product. She then went on (in her still condescending tone) to tell me basically that I would have nothing I needed if I didn't buy it all right now. I ignored her, bought the pads, ignored the offers of credit cards, joining dumb birth clubs, etc. and went on my way.

Oh yeah, I also made a vow to myself. The next time a store clerk asks me if it's my first baby, I'll say no.
