Clothes for Big-Belly Babes

Yay for care packages from groovy sisters-in-law! Yesterday I got a wonderful package in the mail full of goodies for pregnant ladies from the pregnant lady guru herself, Mrs. Janna Vance. She has a lovely webstore specifically for natural mommies and you can check it out here:


Thank goodness for hand-me-down maternity clothes. I am naturally a big bargain shopper, but when you add in the pregnant factor it's become really bad. I just can't see spending so much money on a new wardrobe that's really not going to fit for very long. At the same time, I think it's important for pregnant mom's to feel good about themselves, and I have a huge desire to have cute things to wear. So, the more cute hand-me-downs I can get my mits on, the happier I am!

I broke down and did some internet shopping today too. Yeehaw, more fun packages in the mail! For the most part my pants still fit, the bigger ones at least, but they're starting to get uncomfortable. I've already gained 6 pounds, which I am flipping out about!! I guess that's the glory of getting pregnant right before Thanksgiving. I usually gain 3-4 pounds over the holidays anyway, it's just that this year there won't be an opportunity to take them back off. I honestly think the biggest culprit is the excessive sleeping. Hopefully, when I get back into the post-holiday routine and I'm feeling good enough to exercise again I'll be able to manage the weight gain a bit better. I have my first prenatal appointment on the 17th. I'll keep you posted!

  1. This will be the only piece of unsolicited advice that you will get from me, but I'm afraid I'm very serious about it: Do NOT get a "Future MILF" or "Contraceptive Malfuction" t-shirt.

  2. The onsies along the same line are also a big NO-NO.
