Taking My Chances

This weekend is the big Weecycled Wear event in Pickens. Every mom, grandma, aunt, or for that matter potential mom descends on the old Winn-Dixie building to buy used baby/toddler clothes and accessories.

It is a brilliant idea, one big yard sale inside where people can bring their baby clothes and get used ones at great prices.

I've gone the past few times they done it, and I have gotten some wonderful steals! As a matter of fact, Abby's exersaucer came from there. It is my favorite toy by far! Thanks, Amanda!

Well, my mom called me asking if I wanted to go this afternoon and get some things. You see, Jason and I are at the point where a second child would be a welcome addition, and Weecycled also has some fantastic maternity clothes.

The only problem is...

Every mom, grandma, aunt, and woman in Pickens County comes to this event. That means that I will inevitably run into someone I know, work with, am related to, you get the idea. That would be fine except when you're perusing the maternity items, people tend to jump to conclusions.

Jason and I got engaged on a mission trip in Colorado and before our bus got back onto Southern soil, everyone in Pickens knew our news.
That brings me back to my original point, if I were spotted shopping for maternity clothes (even if it weren't an immediate need) rumors would fly.

My mom told me not to worry about it, that if any rumors did get started, we would just tell them otherwise. I'm not so sure.

I did, however, take my chances and shop.

If you hear I'm pregnant and it hasn't been confirmed here, then you know it's just a rumor!
