I had a terrible time trying to get dressed this morning. Not because I couldn’t decide what to wear but because nothing fits anymore!!! This Sunday will mark the 31st week of being prego for ChitChatMom and already I feel like I’ve outgrown every item in my closet. I’ve been conservative about buying maternity clothes. Nothing too spendy, nothing too trendy and yet here I am with nine weeks to go and I don’t know what I’m going to cover my bump with for the remaining weeks. I can only assume that I’m going to continue to grow… so I hate to spend money on clothes that will undoubtedly not fit in a handful of weeks. And yet… I can’t just go naked! What a site that would be.
My hubby actually offered me a pair of his gym shorts this morning. It was sweet, but it certainly didn’t do much to improve my feelings of being the size of a house! I’ve gained almost 30 pounds at this point and on my small frame (I’m 5′1″ tall and was a 6 petite before getting preggers) 30 pounds is a significant amount of weight.
So what’s a prego to do? Shop around for some additional affordable maternity clothes or just start wearing my hubby’s gym shorts around the house with oversized tee shirts?! Actually, the gym shorts option isn’t bad until the day I have to leave the house for an appointment and truly have nothing to wear!
