I still have at least 9 and a half weeks to go (no Mickey Rouke/Kim Basinger jokes please), and I think I’m going to have to give up wearing pants.  I ordered 3 different pairs from the Gap.com thinking surely, surely one of them would fit.  Nope.  Nuh uh.  One was so tight on the thighs that I think they must have missized it, one fit fine in the thighs, but the crotch was too long and if you pulled it up, the denim part was too high up and cut into your stomach, and the third had a super-long crotch that I thought perhaps I could get by with, but I asked Tim’s opinion and he helpfully offered, “they’re not terrible.  I’ve seen a lot of pregnant women wear a lot worse things”.  I don’t want to just look better than horribly dressed women! 

So I just ordered jeans from JCPenney.  We’ll see if they fit.  This is getting ridiculous.  The shipping charges alone would give me enough to buy another pair of pants (if I could find any).  Unfortunately, the jeans i ordered are in another warehouse in another part of the country, so I probably won’t have my order until at least the end of next week.  What will I wear until then?  I have no clue!  I have one pair of jeans and one pair of pants that fit.  I guess I could just do laundry every day so at least one pair is always clean.  I also have two skirts that fit, but the very top of my thighs are suddenly rubbing together and it drives me crazy!  I’m trying to really exercise a lot this week and be really careful about what I eat in the hopes that that goes away, but I have a feeling it’s here to stay at least until the baby comes. 

So I’ve already spent $5 for the Old Navy jeans, $8 for the Gap and $15 (!) for Penney’s on shipping charges.  Let’s just hope some of these work, or you may find me in my yoga pants everyday.  Which would not be good because Tim has threatened to burn them because he hates them so much.
