I have always had a gut. That has been my downfall as far as my physique. It is the first thing that goes and the last thing that gets fixed. My rear, on the other hand has never been a problem. Until now.
Now, I realize that I am in week 17 of this glorious miracle, however, I had no idea just how fast my butt could expand. Just 1-2 weeks ago, I was wearing some drawstring cargo pants that are great during this time of year. They are light weight, and not quite shorts, but not jeans either. They are a "go to" in my wardrobe at this mid season point, and I have 3 pair.
So Sunday rolls around and I think I will wear these with a top I have for brunch with a friend. Fat chance.
Out of the blue, I cannot even pull these past the top of my thighs. I wanted to sit down and cry on my bed, but I didn't have time, as I had a friend who would be waiting. I ripped the tags off the old fatty maternity shorts and pulled them on for the first time.
They were wonderful. The only thing I have in my closet that would slide down from being big...God love those maternity shorts, they are a lifesaver. I am not sure why I was thinking I would get to 7 or 8 months without wearing maternity clothes, but I kind of was. Maybe because I have heard the odd statement here and there about "I didn't show until the end" or "I just went up a size for most of the pregnancy". I am here to tell you, the difference in those cargo pants and the maternity shorts was not a "size". A canyon maybe, a yard of additional fabric with elastic added, but a "size" it was not. It was not only the difference between splitting my pants in public, but it also allowed Baby W to breathe, or whatever it is doing in that amniotic fluid.
So I can say I made it 4 months. Almost 4 and a half, but 6, 7, or 8? Who are those people and where did they hide their fetus?
