What's wrong with black?

I have finally bought the last few things on the list for the hospital bag, which is all backed and ready to go when Peanut is. Which according to M34tb4LL's Peanut countdown widget is in 9 days : 15 hours : 22 minutes : 19 seconds, but to the rest of us sometime around the 25th of this month.

I have bought a pair of track pants so i have something comfy to wear at the hospital, washed my jeans to wear home and packed them both in the bag. I also went on the hunt for feeding bras, because i did not have have any yet.

WELL!!!

I thought it would be best to go a bra shop and get one of the girlies there to help me - they sell bras every day and should know what size and stuff i need. I my wear bras, but i don't know anything about them!

So i went to large bra shop at the local shopping centre and told them of my needs. They asked me about the size that i am current;y wearing and then told me the size i would need in a feeding bra (not the same apparently!!!). They gave me a beige bra in the size they recommended and told me to put it on and wait for them to come in and check it for me.

I put it on and waited, waited, waited, waited - i thought if i have wait much longer i will go into labour! I put my clothes back on and went out to see if they had any 'nicer' looking bras, and in colours that would go with my wardrobe.

As i left the change room a girlie came up to me and asked if i had been fitted. I told her i had tried bra on, but she wanted to know had someone been in to check it - eerrrr, no! So she told me to go back and she will send someone straight away.

So i started the process again, but the bra on and waited. Then i stuck my head out of the curtain and started tyring to get attention, this only took a couple of yells.

A girlie came in the changing room with me, pulled on the straps a bit, asked a couple of questions, said me the fit was fine and told me to get changed again and she will 'put the bra through' for me - i think that means she was telling me i was allowed to buy it. Yaaaa, it might have been the right fit, but it was pretty darn ugly - and pricey!!! it cost as much as 6 of my normal bras!!!

I went out and put the bra back on the racks and starting searching for something nicer (and cheaper), and preferably in black - black goes with everything. In the size i need, no black, in fact in the size i need, there was only the one naff beige one! So i left the store with only the bra on my back.

I then searched every store i could think in the centre that sells bras, no black in any of them! I bought a pink one and a white one, but black is my preferred colour!

A couple of days later i got M34tb4LL to drive me to another centre, a little further away, still no luck - white, pink and beige only. We went to a few centres in the area and all of them came up with the same results. For the size i need - no black!!!! I even got one of the girlies in a bra shop to call her suppliers to see if they could get one, nope.

So i bought a second pink and a second white bra, have shoved them in the hospital bag and am now ready to go - black bra or not.
