While making a quick stop at the grocery store this morning, I took advantage of a special parking spot:
Granted, I would much rather be the former than the latter, but I'm pretty sure I fit the "expecting" criteria without any issue (plus I had William with me, although I don't think I can consider myself a "new" mother with a 22-month old). Normally I avoid these kind of parking spots; my stubborness (which apparntly WEBS inherited) makes me disinclined to accept accommodations like this "just" because I'm pregnant. Plus these spots tend to be conveniently located near the entrance to the store, which is great, except for the fact that if you need to take a cart out to the parking lot with you the place to return the cart is halfway down the aisle anyway. So you still end up doing the walking. But I figured today, in all my 40+ week pregnant glory, was as good a day as any to utilize this spot. Of course, it was totally anti-climatic because the spot next to me was open, and I could have parked there regardless of my "condition", but whatever. Here's to hoping next time I'm at the store I have the option of utilizing this spot because I'm a "new" mother, not an expecting one. Fingers crossed!
