While on vacation last week, I came to the realization that rubber banding my jeans shut might not be working anymore. I'm not sure if it was the second broken rubber band or the squashing feeling of my waistband, but halfway through our trip I decided it was time to order some maternity clothes... ugh.
Honestly, I had been dreading this moment. I guess since I'm a pretty tiny person, I assumed that I could make my pre-pregnancy wardrobe last until, I don't know, month 7?! I know, it was a crazy delusional thought, but I just wasn't quite ready to accept my expanding waistline (albeit for a wonderful cause). Anyway, when we arrived home from our trip all of my online maternity purchases had arrived and I'm not going to lie, I was actually a little bit excited to try them on.
So here we are on day three of rocking my very cute m-jeans and LOVING THEM (I'm still not too keen on the phrase maternity clothes, it just sounds too frumpy for a 29 year old gal). It turns out replacing my usual waistband with a stretchy belly panel was the greatest idea ever. I've pretty much equated wearing my new jeans to wearing my PJs all day, and let's be honest, who doesn't want to do that?!
In other belly related news, I can honestly say these days that I feel pregnant. When I bend over to pick something up or squat down to pet our ridiculously short dog I can tell that there's a bean baking in there. I've also started to notice a fluttering feeling periodically throughout the day that I'm assuming is the bean moving, which is pretty much the coolest thing ever! Eeeeee!!!
