Yesterday I could not button my pants so I wore a belly band for the first time. It's like a stretchy band you wear over your pants to hold them up, and if it shows it just looks like you have a tanktop or layered shirts on. It worked pretty well. Well, after putting this in an email to my sister - here is part of the email I got back:
"I have never heard of a belly band. For God's sake, go buy yourself some maternity pants!"
This cracked me up. I have not started looking for maternity clothes since I don't really need them yet. And I dread looking for pants (which I wear more of in winter) since stores don't carry tall lengths - I'll probably buy from Gap online and then have to risk return shipping if I don't like them. My sister is a tad shorter than me, so I guess regular length pants worked for her. On me they look like a fashion faux pas - ending above the ankle. Too short of pants is a huge pet peeve with me can you tell.
So anyway, at this point it just looks like my stomach gut has grown some, still don't look pregnant.
