Okay, what's the deal with maternity clothes?
I say this as someone who is ending my first trimester on Saturday and is starting to feel snug in her everyday couture. (Ha!) Anyway, it's time to start buying a few things.
In a burst of early morning energy on Sunday, I got online and bought myself a few basic pieces that claim to be 'wearable all 9 months of your pregnancy!' Okay, right. So the site I'm dealing with tells me to order my normal, pre-pregnancy size and that the maternity items should adjust to accomodate my growing belly.
Yeah, but what about the inexplicably growing derriere and décolletage? I have a hard time believing that everything else on my body is going to stay static, in some third dimension state of pre-pregnancy. Because I can already tell you, my belly is already entering the room before me.
So I've laid down some serious change on a basic wardrobe of pregnancy fashion. Everything was procured for under $21.00. And as I wait for the box to arrive and hope and pray that my expanding belly doesn't outgrow my Charter Club jeans before my big box o' mama gear gets here, I'm also still in awe of this thing that's totally taking over my body.
