At the beginning of my pregnancy, I thought I'd be able to wear my regular clothes throughout the summer and into early autumn. Apparently, I was mistaken. For over a month, a pile of unwearable formerly loved clothes has accumulated in my bedroom. Babydaddy ripped a shirt out of the pile in its earliest incarnation, declaring "I love this shirt on you...don't throw it out!" I laughed at him. "Honey, I just can't wear it right now; I'm not throwing it out!" Also, what about all the other clothes in the pile?!
That said, I've collected a few maternity items, including a pair of skinny jeans that don't quite stay up and a few shirts that are either more autumnesque or too big for my current bump. As the weather continues to bless us with high temperatures and a Humidex that routinely soars well above thirty, I find myself wanting to wander around in ill-fitting panties and a bra. I've been told, however, that is not "appropriate" for work or other social settings.
This weekend, I've bookmarked time to acquire a few extra maternity shirts to see me through the summer...and then I'll be on the hunt for cold weather clothes, including the elusive maternity winter coat. Being pregnant over several extremely different seasons is proving to be one of the biggest challenges...as my bathing suit struggles to contain my growing belly, I cross my fingers that my feet don't swell so I can still wear my good old winter boots.
