Maternity Clothes!

The last few days have been a torture to get dressed! Shorts I bought two weeks ago won't button. Tank tops are stretching at the top and bottom, and my summer dresses have lost their flow. I decided to pull on the loosest shorts I had, slap on a bella band and a - what used to be -huge blouse and head to the mall. It was a scary thought: flourescent lights, trying on different sizes only to be disappointed when they didn't fit, and the dreaded thought of work clothes that I would need in ONE MONTH!

Surprisingly, It actually turned out to be really fun!! First I went to JC Penny and got a pair of pants, shorts, and 2 capris. Everything was on sale for $15-$20 each so I got such a great deal! Next I went to Motherhood Maternity to get some cute tops to go with everything. Well, I ended up leaving with half the store! (That reminds me, I really need to go out and buy some more hangers!)

My absolute favorite thing that I bought was a pair of leggings!

These things are so comfortable! I only got them in gray but I want to go back and get every color. I am not as big (yet) as the girl in the picture, but believe me they are amazing and I would wear these post-baby! They barely have a hem line and are so soft!

I also got some dresses, shirts, and really cute jeans! I was pleasantly surprised to find nice pregnancy jeans, and I absolutely love these:

I like them because the pockets aren't as plain as most pregnancy jeans. They are actually really nice and fit pretty well. It was really the best feeling to "slip" into a pair of jeans. I decided a few weeks ago I would probably never wear jeans again. Then these came along! They are a size small and the belly is supposed to stretch with me so I can wear them for my entire pregnancy. The sales lady said maybe not with twins, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

While I was in Motherhood I also got to check out the Heidi Klum line. Not cute. Her clothes are WAY too big and I didn't like them. I could never fit a small, even at 9 months pregnant! Everything of hers was shoved onto a clearance rack. I was really looking forward to checking it out. Too bad. I am sure it will be finding its way to Marshalls soon (if it isn't there already!)

So, after two hours at the mall, I am a lot less stressed when trying to figure out what to wear! Everything fits, or is close to fitting soon, and is very comfortable! I would say it was a great shopping trip.
