More shopping

Selection when shopping for maternity clothes can be a bit limited. I went out for another pair of jeans tonight so that I would have 2 pair. I need "large" and they only had 1 style (in fact only 1 pair) for me to try on that weren't like the ones I already had (which by the way lost a button off the pocket today... ugh!) I was almost tempted to get a pair of the "XL" ones since I liked that style better but they just looked so big. Of course while there I had to look at the other clothes. I ended up spending about $60 and getting the jeans, a shirt, a pair of lounge pants (which I plan to wear to Fit Mommy) and a black tank to wear under low cut shirts. I have no idea why they make some maternity shirts lowcut.. don't they know we have larger boobs that need to be contained? I also had to laugh because one of the tanks I tried on was a "One size fits all." HA!! No flipping way!! It barely fit me now and I can only imaging when I'm 39 weeks pregnant and ready to pop.. good lord! Anyways, thanks go to Shauna for letting me borrow the 30% OFF coupon for Kohl's and sneak away with my good deals.

I hear ya sister. Maternity clothes shopping is for the birds. I've also wondered about the low cut shirts but just thought I was having trouble because my girls aren't as big. I've also invested in tank tops. Wait, maybe it is a conspiracy by the tank top makers. Yes, that's it:) Oh also wanted to pass on, I got some LG capris with the super stretchy belly at Motherhood, washed them once and they shrunk to a SM/MD and after 10 days they won't take them back. I have put their clothes in the, not worth the hastle or money catagory. Oh, how I long for a Kohls.

I'm still getting by (at 21 weeks) with my regular jeans and Bella Band, but the day are numbered! I bought a pair of Buffalo Denim jeans at A Pea in the Pod and pair at Motherhood. Both are Smalls, but too big. I know that's a crappy thing to complain about, but when clothed don't fit it's just annoying. Luckily Maternity clothes are prone to shrinking!

The maternity cleavage top conspiracy is definitely a weird thing, they really just want you to have to buy the cami tanks and layer = more $ spent!

I will go through my stuff from my pregnancy with Avery. I may have some things for you and we need to go to dinner soon anyway!
