I am super excited! It's only taken me six babies to figure out how to dress myself when I'm bulging at the seams.
Actually I haven't figured it out, but have been finding some things that work for me.
First of all, I am a jeans an T-shirt kind of gal. They are basic pieces that are comfortable and affordable and don't need special laundering or ironing. (Is that considered prudent or lazy?)
I discovered that one can often find better options when NOT looking in the maternity section!
For instance... I was at Target the other day and was thrilled to find a handful of colored T-shirts in the women's section that were very long (Specifically the Mossimo brand). Granted that's the style now, but I want to stock up because those long T-shirts look and feel much nicer to me than the tents in the maternity section!
Not only that, but I can wear them going UP in size and coming back DOWN after the baby is born.
I also found a pair of pants I love at TJ Maxx and want you pregnant gals (who wear pants) to take a look at this site where I found them in another color, because they are not maternity pants either, but are very comfortable and that Bella Band I bought makes up for the low ride. (By the way, that low riding elastic is what makes these work for a growing belly.)
So if you are in need of shirts that cover the belly, Target is the place today - AND at the tune of six to eight dollars a pop. I wore one today, with a long tank top for an under layer (also extra long and found at Target) and love love loved it!
I'm so happy:-)

I didn't get to comment today, but I thought you looked SO cute. I was admiring your outfit at the Bible Study. Good job, you look adorable!
Are the shirts tight? That whole mixing with whatever makes them form fitting kills me. I'm just a bit "fluffy" these days. Ahem.
Pictures, my dear, we need pictures of you in these wonderful outfits. :) It is so great to have you back in blog format. I would prefer the real things but this is good too.
I agree, give us pictures! lol...
I am no model! (okay... I'll try;-))
Uh... these shirts are rather form fitting. It'll definitely be a taste preference, and I only prefer "form fitting" during certain seasons of the pregnancy, but right now it feels good to still wear my "normal" clothes.
Seriously though... I feel so pregnant and have another FOUR weeks to go to get to the half-way 20 week mark! This is worrying me. I expect it to be a long next five and a half months at this rate!!!
What's your experience here Carri?
