The girls took a trip to the mall tonight. D was in town with her mom to talk to her counselor, so after the meeting we got some food and did a little maternity clothes shopping. It was a good time. I enjoyed seeing her cute belly that's now starting to pop out. She finally needed some new jeans! And I talked her into a couple new shirts while we were shopping. Her old ones aren't going to stretch forever. I passed on the few fall maternity things that I had, but William was born in August, so there wasn't much.
We've had some nice conversations she and I. Last week we talked on the phone for an hour and a half about anything and everything. We get along very well. In a lot of ways I see myself in her at that time in my life.
I'm feeling bad that birthdad's been left out so far. His work schedule didn't work out last time and this time we didn't figure he wanted to shop for maternity clothes. But we really like him and intend to set up a time to go out one of these days. It seems like it should be so easy since he's in town here, but I think that's part of the problem.
D is coming back to town tomorrow for a doctor's appt. I think I'll have to meet up with her for a few minutes. I don't know if it's okay to come to the doctor's appt or not. I haven't gotten the sense that she's real comfortable with that. But I left something in one of the shopping bags that I need to get from her (it really was an accident!) and she also mentioned lending me one of her favorite movies. So it's nice that I'm only five minutes from the clinic!
