I think you should wait until you are more used to the big news. If they are things that won't fit during your pregnancy I do think you should return because who knows if you will still want them later.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2/page/2#post-1025466 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 02:03:01 +0000 pil 1025466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Thistle - and Mr. Thistle and Toddler Thistle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2/page/2#post-1025465 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 02:02:38 +0000 Susie 1025465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten good advice but I had to add my congratulations!

We bout it when we had DD. yeah, it's a mom-mobile, but it has been sooooo nice with the car seats and the amazing amount of stuff you seem to need with a small child!</p> <p>Thanks all for the kind words and good advice. I will sit down and take a look through my purchases. I do have several pieces that were just going to be solid additions to a work wardrobe. I may reevaluate some of those. I can always get a basic black cardi next NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025275 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:39:29 +0000 catgirl 1025275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would return it all and buy a minivan! Congratulations! I would return it all because your tastes and size will change with this second peanut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025258 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:26:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1025258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations to you both :)<br />I say keep what you can wear, &amp; wear the heck out of them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025250 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:19:43 +0000 K. Period. 1025250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Thistle and Family Thistle on the new little bud! I'm sending&nbsp;lots of good thoughts your way. &nbsp;</p> <p>As far as the clothes, I'd keep anything you know you'd really really miss. &nbsp;You should feel free to tell yourself that that's part of the reason you are a loyal Nordstrom customer: return flexibility. Then reassess as the months pass. I know you are a decisive person, but you've got lots of time to wait. &nbsp;Indulge yourself a bit. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025249 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:17:47 +0000 Lyn D. 1025249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely News!<br />Ditto what others have said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025247 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:11:41 +0000 deb 1025247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!!! Thistle, think about which&nbsp; of your purchases you can wear for the next few months. It is surprising how long some items will actually fit. These pieces may help you feel better during the morning sickness time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025245 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:05:59 +0000 cobaltblue 1025245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! Such a special but nerve-wracking time - I'm sending you all my best thoughts. I agree that you should take advantage of Nordstrom's great returns and wait a bit. Or just wear them to bits before the bump stops you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025233 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:38:13 +0000 hedgiehog 1025233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, congratulations to you and DH. What wonderful news. :)<br /> If it were me, I would probably keep the pieces I absolutely love and return the rest. I know it may be a while before you're back in pre pregnancy clothes and your style may have changed a bit. The other alternative is to keep everything and wear as much as you can...pre-bump.<br /> Congratulations again, keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025229 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:31:27 +0000 Peri 1025229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Thistle!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025228 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:30:04 +0000 unfrumped 1025228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there's a lot to do with how&nbsp;the brain re-focuses during pregnancy.<br />So, waiting a bit is fine because there's no huge rush. But at some point you just may feel you have that different mindset that's not simply logical (as in, whether this or that will still fit) but that you are just different when you are pregnant and need to feel open to that (or inward to that !) I did, at least. Then the clothes that you bought for this other immediate future may lose luster whether or not someone else can see that they might fit, or not. They just might not fit where your brain is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025227 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:29:56 +0000 Raisin 1025227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats girl! How exciting! I would probably keep the ones I love and wear them as much as I can before having to wear the maternity clothes. With all the stretch in clothing today, I find you can get pretty far in regular clothes. And you could use something like a belly band for the pants later on. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025224 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:22:23 +0000 Anonymous 1025224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations; that's wonderful news! Wishing you lots of good pregnancy vibes - I understand how nerve-wracking those early weeks can be.</p> <p>I was in the same situation last fall (with a BR sale) and returned everything, without regret. My frugal nature couldn't grapple with the idea of possibly wearing everything for a few weeks at most. Bluntly, what happens to the body during pregnancy and breastfeeding is a total crapshoot so I wasn't willing to wait and see what might happen. YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025153 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 19:47:03 +0000 Debbie 1025153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait just a bit and see how fast your body is changing and what you want to use.<br />Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025149 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 19:33:39 +0000 Adelfa 1025149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy for you!!!

I'd focus on the positive. You are making such great choices about what clothes "get you" and how to look fab, and you're going to want to get some new things during pregnancy that look great, too, and fit your needs and your body, so it'll be fun to feel you've got some budget and time to spend on those. But I understand not being "out of the woods" yet. Also you can review some of your existing wardrobe for its "possibilities" for the coming months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-2#post-1025132 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 19:00:13 +0000 Inge 1025132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Thistle!<br />I've nothing specific to add, but echo Suz's thoughts.</p> <p>Also: I'll move your thread to General, as I don't think this is Off Topic at all. </p>
