Bad habits die hard

My Dearest Little Nugget,

You have made Mommy realize that her bad habit is in fact much, much larger than she ever thought possible. You see, Mommy always knew she had this flaw, however you have shown Mommy just how huge of a problem it really is and you aren’t even done brewing yet. (Look at Mommy comparing your gestation to beer. How typical!) Just look at you! Showing Mommy that she needs to get control of herself when you’ve still got 15 weeks left to brew, um… cook in there! What a talented little Nugget!

You see, Mommy has a weakness for shopping. Mommy has always known she had this problem as she LOVES to shop and has at times spent way more than she ever should on a pair of shoes or purse. However ever since Mommy got pregnant she stopped shopping for herself b/c, let’s face it, maternity clothes kind of suck. Plus who wants to spend a shit load of money on clothing you can only wear for a few months? (Also, swear words are bad. Don’t say shit.) So Mommy has taken her shopping habit to a whole new level and has spent way too much time and money shopping for you. Needless to say you will be one sharp dressed cookie, however this money could probably have been better used say, towards your future college fund perhaps? (But really, what fun is that?)

Anyway, Mommy found the cutest little Ralph Lauren cardigan last night that she couldn’t pass up. She got a helluva deal on it too. And she justified it to Daddy by saying that you could wear it with ANYTHING b/c it’s white w/ a little pink Ralph Lauren polo pony on it. Daddy’s response was less than stellar. It went something like this:

Mommy: “Check out this adorable little cardigan I got for Nugget! It was originally $30 and I got it for $10! Can you believe it? She’s going to look so cute in it!”

Daddy: “Umph. Cool.”

Mommy: “She’ll be able to wear it with everything! It’s a steal!”

Daddy: “Yeah, b/c I’m really concerned about her matching and coordinating.”

Mommy: (Gasp!) “Well you should be! What are you going to do? Dress her like a clown?”

Daddy: “Yep. A clown sounds about right to me.”

Needless to say Nugget, your Daddy likes to think he has good fashion sense but really the only reason he ever looks coordinated at all is due to your Mommy. Don’t worry. Mommy won’t let him dress you like a clown as long as she’s around! Unless it’s for Halloween. Hmmm… Mommy thinks you’d probably make the most adorable clown. Mommy will have to remember this in October.

Love you to pieces,

Mommy

P.S. If you could let Mommy get more than 4-5 hours of sleep each night that would be wonderful and Mommy would forever be grateful. This crap ain’t cutting it. Also, please let up on Mommy’s bladder. Mommy’s afraid she will pee herself while out shopping for you and that would be horrendous.
