Let's talk about maternity clothes....
Okay, so yesterday, I broke down, and bought my first piece of maternity clothing; jeans. I thought I would start out with a staple item, so I can build on my maternity wardrobe from there. I have to say though, that the whole experience was a bit overwhelming. I'm kind of in that in-between phase right now. My regular clothes are feeling tight, but maternity clothes seem ridiculously huge! So, trying to determine what to buy and in what size is extremely difficult. Most maternity stores have this fake belly you can try on with your clothes to see how they will fit later on in pregnancy. But, that just freaks me out! I am not used to looking down and not being able to see my feet! So, I avoided the fake belly all together! Don't get me wrong, I am super excited to start "showing" and having a baby bump, but it still seems a little unreal at this point. I have a feeling the next few weekends will be devoted to adding to my maternity wear! I hear at this stage in pregnancy, your belly really starts to pop! So, before I know it, I will have nothing left of my old wardrobe to rely on. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks, shopping for maternity clothes will get easier.

Do you wear your normal jeans unbuttoned yet? Or pass a rubberband through the loop to give you that extra space? I would wear my jeans unbuttoned and a bit unzipped...but I had these elastic long tank tops that I would wear that would cover the zipper and my "privacy" was still in tact. I also hear that there is this item that is like a band that you wear around your tummy...it would cover your unbuttoned pants...hang out from under your shirt and it would look like you were just layering. I dont know if I am makeing any sense at all. :)
Ok, so how are things over there at ya'll house? Did you guys survive the hurricane? I hope all is ok.
When you get a moment...I tagged you in my blog. :) It gives you something to do. :)
