I've been lucky enough to fit into most of my pants (with the help of this nifty tummy sleeve: Tummy Sleeve), but I finally broke down and went shopping for maternity pants. I bought a pair of second hand maternity jeans from a Once Upon a Child (the resale shop) a couple of weeks ago- the tummy sleeve just didn't stay put over my regular jeans- but they were a little baggy. Yesterday I actually bought some new stuff that fits really well. I stuck to buying pants, since my lovely aunt and my good friend Jenn shared some of their tops with me (I didn't fit into their pants).
I had planned on going shopping by myself, but my mother-in-law Kathi happened to call right before I was leaving so I invited her :) It was so much fun! I did all the shopping at Motherhood Maternity. I'd compared prices online with Target, Kohl's and JC Penney's- all the prices were pretty much the same. I figured the sales person at Motherhood would be the most helpful in my search for clothing that would last until Lily is born. I was right. The sales woman was very helpful and even ordered a pair of jeans for me in my size at no extra charge.
I got some PJs with a robe (in blue): PJs
And some PJs with a cute matching baby onsie: More PJS
Here are the jeans I ordered: Jeans
My favorite new pants: Pants
New cords in khaki: Khaki Cords
And more new cords in dark brown (they were on sale and I love cords...): Brown Cords
Kathi bought this top for me in the purple stripe color: Shirt
I bought this dress (I promise it looked better on me than it does on the model... this is not a flattering picture of the dress at all): Dress
And I got black leggings to go under the dress: Leggings
I'm hoping everything I bought will be enough to last me for the rest of the pregnancy :) The panels on the pants all have lots of room to to stretch so Lily can keep growing!
