A Whole New Woman!

I am about 7 months pregnant, 10 solid weeks to go. Most days I feel whalish and frumpy that it's hard to get myself moving. That ended yesterday. I have discovered a whole new world of pregnant. COMFORT (except when I sleep...I don't think there's much I can do about that part).

I had the opportunity to go shopping with my mom for a couple of maternity outfits. I needed something to look forward to besides the same old hand-me-down things I'd been wearing. The hand-me-downs are amazing but I've been wearing them for a while now and thought I should contribute to the pile. Besides, if you've ever been pregnant, you know that there is nothing less comfortable than the mid-belly pants, at least for me. They have that elastic band that goes around the middle of your belly, creating the "twins" effect when you pull your shirt over it. And they have a tendency to buckle and roll down like a bad pair of nylons should you do anything but stand there. Then I can't decide if I spend more time chasing my almost-2 year old or pulling my pants up.


Well, we popped into Destination Maternity and I decided to try the latest buzz: the secret fit belly. My take: IT's AMAZING!
They are SO comfortable. I feel like I'm hardly pregnant compared to how I was feeling before. If I get to wear cute comfy jeans like this for the rest of my pregnancy, all complaining will be done. I highly recommend them! Who knew you could feel cute and pregnant all at the same time?!

Dude, these are awesome! I just started not being able to zip/button my fav pants, and this belly band thing saved me!

Yep, I loved them! I had several capris and a few jeans. And yes, it is nice to buy new clothes in the last trimester. I always felt better having some new clothes. I'm way excited that you have only 10 Weeks to GO!
