Sizing Up

I knew it would be a little hard mentally to get bigger during pregnancy. Who really wants to gain a serious chunk of weight? The cause is definately worth it but still, mentally taxing to not fit into things and to feel heavier than you're supposed to.  I'm not a fan of that part. I'm trying to keep it all in perspective, baby gets bigger so do I. But yesterday I was at the am shift of work and was wearing my go-to jean day jeans with the awesome BellyBand and even though I was securely covered I just felt tight and uncomfortable. So after that shift I went directly to Target and tried on some proper maternity jeans. Interesting.

I don't know why maternity clothes size things the way they do. I know I am one general size in jeans and so I grabbed that size and a size up and down to try on. After trying on the size down I realized that would be the pair to get. But I know I am not this size in regular jeans, why must maternity wear pacify me by making me think I can still wear a smaller size? What do really thin pregnant women do for jeans?? The ones I bought are already bagging on my legs and demanding to be washed to fit better. I can't imagine if my legs were really thin.

There must be a good pair out there for me that fit in the leg and allow the stomach to grow. I really hate having these pants slip down and feel uncomfortably wide in the leg. Yeesh. I look forward to warmer weather so I can get back to more dresses to avoid this issue.
