Pregmunity II

I've written about a pregnancy community before.  Pregnant women are instantly friends and instantly give help and advice to each other.  Women who have been though it - mothers - also want to speak others, about their experiences.  They even speak to me and are encouraged by my probably unexpected positive reactions.  

My belief about a pregmunity has been reinforced tonight.

Erin has just walked in from her pregnancy yoga class.  She has been to four sessions in all, but to this one only once before.  And she's come home with a bagful of newborn baby clothes.  The reason? Because last time she went she said that she didn't have her mum or sister close by. This person's sister-in-law had given her lots of things and she has more than enough so decided to give them to us.  She really didn't need to.  We have a good amount of things.  But it's the nicest thing in the world to be thought of.  

If it's you, and you ever read this, thank you very much.

The only problem is that one of the items is an Arsenal Football Club one piece (onesie).  Is that how they get so many fans?  I know I'm northern, but in London we don't even live north of the river.  No off-spring of mine... 

  

How much?

Erin's mum went to garage sales for us before we went to the States.  We also went around a few places on the first saturday when we were over there too.  This is what we've brought back. All for £5. (Sorry if I don't get the right term for all of them, I'm only just getting used to all of this.)

5 Hats (1 deer stalker)

1 Green cardigan

1 Pair of Engineer Blue stripey Dungarees.

5 Full length baby suits  

4 Full length sleeping suits 

21 Play suits - 3-6 mths (1 with a caterpillar crawling over it with matching bib - cute)

10 Play Suits - 0-3 mths (1 which says it doesn't come with instructions, not the suit but the baby, which they don't.  Shame)

4 long legged elasticated suits 

2 Long sleeve shirts

1 Short sleeve shirt

1 Camouflage Hoodie (Just for David Cameron)

5 bibs (1 denim designer label, not sure why)

4 socks

4 Bath Towels

6 Blankets

1 Rattle

Most of these look absolutely brand new.  And again, it all cost a fiver.
