Minor Panic

Want to know a good way to send a new mother into a slight panic? Sell clothing that is labeled as the same size (from the same brand!), but not actually have it be the same size.


Just a slight difference, right? So imagine my panic when on a Monday I dress William in the (super cute) chevron onesie, notice that it is a little snug and make a mental note to "retire" all the onesies of that size after they get worn and washed one last time, only to put him in the green onesie on Thursday and have it be a little loose. He hasn't been sleeping the greatest lately, which we were chalking it up to the oft-discussed four-month sleep regression. But when his onesie was loose on Thursday, I was convinced that he was sleeping poorly because he was sick--after all, something needed to account for the onesie all of the sudden being too loose, and weight loss due to being sick was the obvious answer. Thankfully, I was able to rationalize that he was still producing (plenty!) of wet and poopy diapers so I knew he was at least getting some nutrients, and with his four-month appointment coming up (an update on that coming soon!) I decided not to rush him in. Then lo and behold, while doing laundry on Friday I happened to line these two up and viola--major size difference. Not a nice trick whatsoever. I knew that sizes varied from brand to brand, but I assumed that within the same brand things would be consistent. Apparently not. Lesson learned.
