For about a week now, Tyler and I have been SEARCHING for the perfect dress for me to wear to the Temple (and to the luncheon)...What IS the perfect dress you ask?
Well... it had to meet many qualifications the main ones being:
-A zipper or buttons...For easy take off. NOT for bad reasons people, but so that my hair wouldn't get messed up when changing in and out of my dress.
-Sleeves (obvious reasons)
-Down to the knee (again, obvious)
-At least a little bit cute.

Who knew finding a dress like that could be so hard? We seriously searched for so long the other day. I was so frustrated, so I gave myself a little break before dragging Tyler out for another long day of dress shopping.
We went to so many stores, but none seemed to have what I was looking for. Tyler, trying to help out, suggested we go to Lane Bryant to find a dress...Not a good call. Apparently he thought it was just a normal ol' clothes store. Hah.
After four hours of searching the mall, Tyler suggested (again...I ignored him the first time) that we go into Motherhood and look at the dresses that they had there. I decided it wouldn't hurt to look. So, we walked in and I immediately found a brown dress that I absolutely LOVE. So, I went to the dressing room to try it on. It fit perfectly! It has an empire waist, so you can't even tell it's maternity at all. I will admit I tried on the belly in the dressing room, though!
Here are some pictures of the dress... Try to imagine it without the belly and those boobs.:
ANYWAY, since I was sooo sick of being at the mall, I handed Tyler my debit card and the perfect dress (which doesn't have a zipper OR buttons, may I add) and asked him to go pay for it for me (it was only $14.99...woo woo.) in fear that if I paid on my own, the lady would ask me when I was due and make me feel fatter than I already did.
So, Tyler slowly walked up to the counter and began the transaction. The conversation went (pretty much) like this:
Her: So have you been here before?
Him: No...
Her: How pregnant is your wife?
Him: Oh, about 2 months.
Her: OH how exciting! When's the due date?
Him: Uh..I don't remember...
Her: About the end of January, huh?
Him: Yeah! That sounds about right.
Her: Where is your wife?
Him: She's around here somewhere.
Her: Oh okay! What's your address?
Him: (he gave my home address where my parents live)
Her: Wow, no apartment number... You live in a house?
Him: Yeah...
Her: Well we're going to send you a free sample of Huggies and baby formula to congratulate you!
Him: Okay... Thanks...
She then threw in a little packet of baby stuff, including a spoon with the words "YoBaby" on it... Hm.
I laughed so hard.
Poor Tyler goes through so much to get me what I want.
He really is my favorite boyfriend.
ANYWAY!
5 days until THE day.
Wow.
I'll try to keep you updated in the next few days!
P.S. Please tell me you all know I'm NOT REALLY PREGNANT? (Although, I know looks can be deceiving sometimes) That wouldn't be the best rumor to go around right now. hahah.

WELL.... I guess it was worth all the embarassment as long as my Erika is happy! I liked Erin's comments about how we are going to receive lots of baby stuff, but without the baby. At least we are prepared ;o)
