My older sister was about 4 or so months along with her pregnancy and I went shopping with my mom and twin sister to try and pick out some maternity clothes for her at the mall. We went into Mimi Maternity and started checking things out. The jeans are super cute and we know she wanted some, so we pick a few out. My mom was hesitant to buy them without seeing them on and so I was picked to try them on... yup, oh the joy that my mother and sister wanted me to try on preggo pants for a 4 or 5 month preggo woman to see if they will fit well. Sure I may not have been the 98 lbs I was when I graduated from high school, or the 117 I was when I graduated from college, but I was in no way close to a 2nd trimester preggo gal. But I sucked it up and tried them on for my mom's sake, well they had me open the door so they could see... then the sales lady came over and said "oh, those fit you great, how far along are you?" Are you kidding me? So that sucked, although i still remember how stinkin cozy they were, as much as I was pissed at the situation, I was for sure thinking about asking my sis for the jeans after her baby came out :) Ok, so I have never been prego and yet I still have a story to share about this subject.

I too find that I enjoy the warm hug of a no bullshit spandex band, gently squeezing my belly, my baby, and my In'N'Out cheeseburgers, animal style fries, and vanilla milkshakes. And I'm not sure I'm going to be able to give ANY of it up once my baby is born. And thanks to this amazing post, I feel like maybe, just maybe, I won't have to. And for that, friend, I thank you.
