I am technologically inept, so I...Hey, CSPP ladies,<br />I am technologically inept, so I can't figure out how to E-mail you and this is my safest bet. First, I wanted to say that I agree about this "no good maternity clothes" thing. I mourned that all through my first pregnancy and fully expect to through subsequent pregnancies, because I think the companies who make maternity/postpreggo clothes and items are solely in it for the money and have never been pregnant themselves. <br />Anyway, my husband is struggling through his first year of pastoring and he is just plain overwhelmed. We've both heard the worn out line that he needs to delegate and make time for himself and his family. But we just don't see how that works out in actuality. I was wondering if you wise women have any practical advice for us, especially anything I can do to support my husband. My E-mail address won't show up since it's not a google one but it is elizabeth.meyer@cune.org.

I sewed the bottoms to the bottoms of my favorite two too-short tanks, then got lazy and just cut the others, no hemming or anything, and wear them as belly bands.<br />The bonus is that they also hold in some of the post-baby flab.MooreMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524893692649808227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-6549081222191280412010-11-18T14:01:12.672-06:002010-11-18T14:01:12.672-06:00Thank you Leah.

I've actually sewn a few very basic dresses for my daughter, but even then I had to ask my mom how to read practically every step of the the pattern.

Get one of these (http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=954380110&MasterCategory_Id=MC12) and wear it like a tube top in between the bottom and top layers (either cut off the straps or ignore them). It moves up and down real slick. I have mine on all the time. The one size fits all thing is for real; I wore this all the way through pregnancy and it still fits nice and snuggly now.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-6167262189618523802010-11-17T20:45:31.697-06:002010-11-17T20:45:31.697-06:00Leah-

You'd do better striking a bargain with Rebekah; she can actually think in numbers. :) However, apple butter carries an anytime, anyplace standing invite. :D<br /><br />Rebekah: Oh, I'm pretty well certain that I don't look cute. But my beloved lord took all the full length mirrors out of the house a couple years ago, so I can wear anything and be none the wiser. ;)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-75149448029816459532010-11-17T13:57:05.345-06:002010-11-17T13:57:05.345-06:00can someone whip up a solution to the annoyingly s...can someone whip up a solution to the annoyingly short nursing tanks?etemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069201711918130775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-47713408789282632602010-11-17T12:54:08.949-06:002010-11-17T12:54:08.949-06:00I like how you rhymed problem with bobbin.

And obviously pencil is right out. Really, is it possible for me to be pregnant without looking ridiculous? Why does everyone else look cute pregnant?Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129136210164478753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-21407318480632775492010-11-17T10:57:35.314-06:002010-11-17T10:57:35.314-06:00Cute!!!

We both eat the apple butter together. Now, my place or yours?<br /><br />And when I do get some skirts made, I will definitely get some of those leg warmers Rebekah mentioned (since I'm too lazy right now to knit a 40 inch pair!!)<br /><br />BTW, girls named Leah sure come up with some pretty good ideas, if I do say so myself ;)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02069794229090921826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-8852649453478273012010-11-17T10:25:22.843-06:002010-11-17T10:25:22.843-06:00Very cool.
