Shopping For...

Most of you probably know by now that Jason and I are expecting a baby at the end of this year.  No...? Surprise!  Anyways, this date was a thoughtful one on Jason's part. If you know me well, you know I don't particularly care for shopping, and I normally don't enjoy spending money on things for myself, like clothes.

Well, as you also may know, your body changes a little bit during pregnancy.  Before the baby bump makes its way for the world to see, there are other areas of the body that change first. And, you probably know where I'm going with this, but I'm just going to come out and say it - breasts.  Breasts change during pregnancy.  Whether Jason noticed this change or it come up in conversation, I'll let you decide.  Regardless, he knew that I was in need of some new pieces of apparel to accommodate these changes.  

So, on a Friday night after work, Jason and I hopped in the car and went on a date to the MALL! What? Are we 16 again? No, but eating dinner (mmm, Chipotle) and walking around the mall (even if briefly) made me feel like it.  Anyways, we ate some grub, then he took me to Victoria's Secret to get fitted for a new bra.  I am SO glad he did.  This is something I probably would have put off for far too long... and ladies, you can relate...you know how nice it is to have a properly fitting bra.  And, I didn't feel hesitant spending the money on TWO new bras because Jason helped me realize that the benefit of comfort would be worth it.  

Jason patiently waited for me as I tried on a few different styles and finally made a selection.  I'm sure he felt a little uncomfortable waiting around for me, but I really appreciate that he did.  At least I let him help pick between a couple I liked, so he got to participate in some fashion.  Afterwards, we got a smoothie to share (mm, more mall treats) and sat in the food court and read from our Bible.  

Husbands, this is a really easy way to take your wife on a date just living ordinary life.  This is something I would have EVENTUALLY done on my own, but it was nice to have Jason spending the time with me doing it.  If you see something your wife needs, make a date out of it and take her to get it!
