in case anyone wants to know, the reason his pants came off was because he had a nice little diaper-full during breakfast... for those who know my sensory issues, you won't be surprised to know that once freshly changed, i could still smell it on his pants, even though they were clean. out came the febreze, and the pants were deodorized. i may be nuts, but i'm smart enough to let his pants dry before sticking them back on! 
... help with the bills!! too bad that one was already paid. oh, but there was one proud little boy on the floor- the way he looked up at me, well, words can't describe it. fellow mommies, you know what i mean!
we spent the morning out and about in appleton- kelvin sold the snowmobile, which meant that i could go get a few things we needed to get before the baby comes. and yes, cole wore pants. we stopped at hobby lobby for stuff for birth announcements (which i promptly started on when we got home- all we need is a baby so we can put on the photo and stats!), went to the mall where i got a bra at motherhood and found a few deals at target. i got cole a cute pair of pants (ironically) for $2.49 and found a sweet classic pooh jumper set for the baby- it has a white onesie with pink stitching, a gray velvet jumper dress and little pointelle gray leggings. i couldn't resist. at goodwill i found some newborn onesies (under $1 each, so well justified), a pair of pjs, pants and a striped button-down shirt for cole and a larger onesie and a cute knit dress for summer for baby. walmart had suction-cup bowls, a suction-cup plate with utensils and new shoes for cole. the plate was a bust- gerber just hasn't been living up to their promises lately...
anyway, later in the evening, kelvin told me that the $40 in fuel that he got for the furnace yesterday was pretty much used up. already. WHA?????? yeah, that's what i thought too... durned cold snap. that little tidbit about knocked off my fuzzy pink socks (which are coming with me to the delivery room; they're like heaven for your feet). yikes. so i asked if replacing the fuel furnace with the gas one was really going to save us much. he said "yeah, a little... but it'll really help with the resale value on the house". oh, goody- let's list it right now! which we may do soon...
and finally, the once-pantsless-now-fully-clothed wonder made another attempt at the stairs tonight. i took the baby gate down because we were getting ready for his bath (last thing before he goes to bed) but got sidetracked. i had to show kelvin my new nursing bra. as all my bras go, it's wonderful. that's why i buy them. then after a few days, the sparks start to fizzle, things start to sag (literally), and the romance is gone... so i had to show him quick, while things were still happenin' with me and the bra. i tried on a lot, and came home with ONE. again, fellow mommies- those of you who have severe issues shopping for regular bras know what i mean when i say that shopping for nursing bras is downright brutal. but back on track- cole got up to the fourth or fifth step before he realized that oh yeah, he can't get back down. so the tears started, followed by a brave attempt to crawl backward down the steps. he made it down one and gave up on the next; instead of staying there and waiting for one of us to stop laughing and come rescue him already, he promptly started going UP THE STAIRS again! one of these days he'll figure it out. eep.

Good thing you got the nursing bra fashhion show out of the way...not so appealing with a wet patch of milk seeping through. I hate shopping for nursing bras, and everyone I've bought from motherhood has sucked. The wires pop after 3 days and I'm stuck wearing ir with no support ot buying a new one. I found one at walmart for 10.88 and as nursing bras go, it's the best one i've ever owned.
fashion show- hahaha! i've tried nursing bras from walmart, target, kohl's, you name it... nothing works. i have issues with bras, period. glad you found one that works for you! hope you went back and stocked up??

this bra was my lifesaver! I know it seems expensive, but as gals know, there is nothin better than a great bra that holds you up where you need to be held! I had 2 of them and they where extreemly good quality... in fact, those two bras are the only ones i wore the whole time i nursed Kristian and Erin! That shows how well made they are! AND.. unlike most bras, the "uplifting" hold was AMAZING! I would recommend them to anyone! Oh and one of the other great features is that the back has like 8 adjustable stations, so that means no having to go buy new bras as you loose your baby weight! Sheeesh.. this sounds like an advertisement! But really, it is all true! Hope this helps! Trust me.. WELL worth the investment.. I too spent multipe hours trying on nursing bras, and none came close to comparing!
