I had originally promised myself that I would hold out on wearing maternity clothes until 20 weeks - halfway through pregnancy. I figured if I stretched out wearing my regular clothes as long as possible, I would be less likely to create a big bonfire of maternity clothes by the time I reached the end. I was all set with the perfect transition wardrobe - wrap dresses, wrap tops, empire waists, stretchy fabrics - everything I needed for the fat-awkward phase of pregnancy. But with the 20-week mark still weeks away, I could see I was not going to reach my goal. With one - maybe... but with two, it just means that I am so much bigger so much earlier. After all, if even chilly DC commuters are giving up their seats for me on the metro, it's because I LOOK TOTALLY PREGNANT. And I'm not even halfway there yet!
So, I broke down and finally busted out the maternity pants. And now I'm wondering, what was I waiting for all this time? Why have I been walking around with my pants and skirts unzipped and uncomfortable for weeks? Hello, stretchy elastic waist comfort. Ahhh. I think I may never go back!
