Clothes have become my enemy since I first discovered signs of being pregnant. On the cruise, the nausea was accompanied by bloating, which made pants unwelcome members of my wardrobe (except for jammy pants). Most women know the discomfort of bloating, even when not pregnant. The bloating never really went away and my belly started growing. So even though I still haven't really gained any weight, my pants have no interest in fitting anymore. I guess it was unfair to say that clothes have become my enemy. Really, it's just pants. Can you believe it? Pants?! My enemy?! I love pants!! Since returning from the cruise in December, I've spent most days in skirts and dresses with leggings. I've occasionally worn pants, using this clever contraption that attaches to regular (non-maternity) pants to extend the waistline, but then there are weird lumpies under my shirt. Plus, it's kinda like walking around with your pants unbottoned which just seems weird.
Despite my success with leggings, lately even they have put a little extra pressure on my ever-growing belly. So, I broke down and ordered some maternity clothes. Holy crap, these things are so freakin' comfortable, I can't even stand it!! Regular leggings have treated me well, but maternity leggings are amazing! That soft belly panel is the best thing ever! And maternity jeans will allow me to return pants to my wardrobe....wohoo! Of course, being the short girl that I am, the jeans were longer than my legs, so they're out being hemmed for me right now. But come Friday, I'll be wearing pants again and they'll no longer be my enemy! (Again, jammy pants never fell in the enemy category!)
So, my new best friend is maternity clothes. But don't worry, they can never replace my BFFs (you know who you are)!
