I had assumed early on in pregnancy that my baggy t-shirts and elastic waistbands would last me through the first several months of pregnancy. A month ago, Dan finally talked me into buying myself maternity pants. I bought 1 pair, since I was still convinced that I wouldn’t really need them until the last 2 – maybe 3 – months of the pregnancy.
OK. I admit it; I was wrong. Thankfully, my SIL had no such delusions. This weekend, she sent Dan home with 3 new maternity shirts, including the one I’m wearing above. Finally, I can stop trying to stuff myself into my old clothes and start embracing this new look of mine.
Though I did start on the pink dress for Elizabeth this weekend, I am nowhere near to finishing it. Instead, I opted to use my middle-of-the-night-snacking to knit her a bib.

Embrace the maternity clothes look! It looks good, and feels good, too.
Cute bib!
It just gets to the point where nothing is comfortable except maternity clothes, so you should just go with it. Very cute bib.
Woot! Rock that maternity shirt!
The bib is so cute and you look good in your changed body! Enjoy!
The bib is so cute. And hey, the colors wil mask any stains or food that get on it. You are already thinking like a Mom, and don’t worry, we all thought that we would fit in our baggie clothes and not need maternity wear. (oh so lovely) actually it does look nice these days.
You look great
Vicki
Thanks for sharing a picture of you and Elizabeth. Dahling You look marvelous. The baby bump looks good on you. Anna was happy to hear that you’re expecting. She laughed when she heard that you picked the same baby girl’s name as her. Take good care.
