loving on the bump...

this baby belly has received lots of love lately.  wilfred was all snuggled up against my belly and i was waiting for him to get kicked and get annoyed, but instead we both enjoyed a sweet cuddle.

and speaking of loving on the bump, i received an extremely generous gift through my local buy nothing group.  someone posted a bunch of baby boys clothes new with tags ranging in size from newborn to 6 month and wanted them to go to an expecting mother.  this was such an awesome gift and a lot of people commented on it, but wanted it to give to someone else as a present.  i was the only one who was expecting myself and will be re-gifting it back to the group once we grow out of it, so she chose me!  i think there are 8 or 9 outfits or carters sets total and all super cute!  if you haven't read about what a "buy nothing" group is, it is NOT a charity group, but rather a group within your community comprised of your immediate neighbors who believe in reusing, recycling and repurposing.  we believe in being resourceful and "asking" or "gifting" items before shopping or throwing out in hopes of being more economical and being kinder on the environment.  these are the baby boy clothes that were so kindly gifted to me!  if you are interested in joining, look on facebook for your local buy nothing group and request to join.  i was not aware of this until i moved to washington, but i love this philosophy and have been the recipient to many awesome gifts from a post hole digger to baby clothes and toys to home decor!  and i have also gifted lots of cool stuff as well!
