So BigFoo feels that there needs to be a "Pregnancy Pant Intervention" on my behalf. Why? Because it has been 5 months since I gave birth to MiniFoo and I still wear my materity jeans. And why do I still where them? Well, I could come up with numerous reasons....
1) They fit
2) They were $40+ dollars to buy for less than 9 months of wear
3) You can't tell they are maternity pants unless my shirts come up too far and you see the large cloth belly band
But in my defense, I did retire these from wearing them to work and "fancy" public places. I have limited their use to the weekends, over to the neighbors, to Cub, Home Depot and any other place that I am not as concerned what other people think. I have also held on to them because I have a limited supply of "regular" clothes and when you have a little one that likes to spit up on herself and you then you need multiple items to change into during the day so you aren't sitting in your underwear while the laundry is going.
Now I know that Stacy and Clinton on What Not to Wear would slap me across the face for what I just said but it's true and I don't have $5000 to buy a whole new wardrobe or add to what I have. Not that what I have is spectacular either but it doesn't have to be because I am in a job where some days boxes and equipment get me dirty and it would be the day that I wear something nice that I would get dirty. Not to mention I don't have time to take care of expensive clothing, I need stuff that I can just throw in the wash, dry it and wear it.
So thank you to my sister-in-law for the gift card to Old Navy because they have practical/in the budget clothing when you can find what you want that fits :)

you are welcome! I still occasionally eye the maternity pants (and it has been three years for me!). I think, oooh, how comfy that would be--no, maybe I should just lose some damn weight. No, that's no fun either. And so goes my day.
