    that is so something I would do. Except that boys don’t wear dresses.

    Awesome!! Thank God I had a little boy because my shirts during pregnancy would have been more like a tent and less like a pretty little dress! hahaha

    Girl that is awesome! I didnt know you knew how to sew!

    I went to ff last night. Stephanie was not there either. It was hard it kicked my butt!

    What a great idea! I’d have never thought of that. Although, as big as I was I’m pretty sure my maternity clothes would drown Presley.

    You know, I am impressed. Not that she can use it as a dress but that you actually were able to wear it too.

    Extremely clever. Look at you! Crafty, cute and green (as in eco-friendly, not the color of the shirt).
