Elastic Fantastic

Some women insist that maternity clothing is a waste of time.  I’m puzzled by this perspective.  While yes, some non-knocked up wear fits all through your pregnancy, there comes a time when something’s gotta give.

And for me, it’s the waistband.

 

Motherhood the Store

Earlier this week, I found myself in my local shopping plaza.  It’s a gritty urban affair, no Starbucks or tot-play area.  But hey, a girl’s gotta buy toilet paper and OJ.

As I made my way to the Target, I remembered that there was a Motherhood Maternity tucked in between the Dippin’ Depot and Payless.  At 14 weeks, I don’t need maternity clothing – but my regular kit is starting to strain.  And I couldn’t resist strapping on that faux-belly pillow and imagining what I’ll look like come July.  A sneak preview, of sorts.  Sounds like a lark, right?

Yeah.  Right.
