I bought a dress yesterday for ladysprite's wedding.

Um.

At Motherhood Maternity.

I think it's very pretty, but, um, it's a maternity dress. The kind they sell for pregnant women. There was a pillow in the dressing room, with a velcro strap so you could see how your clothes would look a few months down the line.

Uh.

Actually, your first interpretation seems to be correct. The full name of the store really is "Motherhood Maternity," although they apparently also have a small division that is "Motherhood Nursingwear."

I think they've put the word "Motherhood" in the name because that word makes pregnant women weepy and sentimental, which then opens our pocketbooks wide.

When people who know I'm pregnant greet me with "Hey, mommy!", there's a moment when I can't even speak, I'm so bowled over. My eyes fill with tears. I am completely under the thrall of pregnancy hormones. The word "motherhood" gets me the same way.

(I can't imagine what my childfree friends must be thinking of me right now! You're very patient to even be reading these posts.)
