It is time I suck it up….

and buy some maternity clothes. I am not sure what I was thinking back in October when we discovered we were pregnant and thought I could make it through this pregnancy without the purchase of any maternity clothes. You would have thought I had never been pregnant before!

I think my initial thought was that I was not working in the office, so I would not need any work clothes. Well that is stil true. I figured I could wear my “fat” jeans (yes I have those) and put on a Bella Band and that would work. Still good there. Then I am pretty sure I could just wear all the cotton dresses I wore last summer because they are cotton, I bought a few of them a little large I figure oh yea sure that will work. Oh yea NOT!

I was at Target the other day and saw several super cute cotton summer dresses just in! granted I don’t really “need” anymore. But it is all I wear in the summer just about and I love it! So I tried them on. OMG laughable! I put on my regular size and although the top of the dress was super cute, let’s just hope that although some of the 80’s styles are making a comeback I really hope that a spandex preggo dress is not one of them! Tried a size up, umm still a little stretchy going on, went 2 sizes up the top looked ridiculously HUGE and the bottom, well it fit, for now! There was definitely no room for growth and given that I am only 20 weeks, something tells me I will be getting larger then I currently am. Not to mention that the few that did fit and looked cute, and had room to grow, would be so short in the front that I would look, well I would look like my clothes didn’t fit.

So….I hopped on the internet a few hours ago and ordered away some preggo summer clothes. I think I can make it till it gets warm. Provided that all this global warming will hurry up and kick in because I am still freezing my tushi off up here. I ordered WAY more then I need. But since I couldn’t try anything on I figured it was better safe then sorry. If I can get half of it to work I will be set. I still need a pair of jean Capri pants because I so do not wear shorts even when not pregnant. But, other then that I think I can make it through the summer =) and hopefully will be back in my non maternity clothes by the fall.


I still just can’t believe I thought I would be fine without any maternity clothes? I can be so blonde sometimes.
