I never thought I would see the day when I wore pants with an elastic waistband to the office...but that day has arrived. I finally broke down and purchased my first (and only, to date) pair of maternity pants over the weekend after I caught sight of myself in the full length mirror in the office restroom last week. It's one thing to leave that top button undone on my pre-pregnancy pants, but when I realized that I couldn't even get the zipper half way up I decided the time had come to take drastic measures.
So on Saturday I ventured into the new Target at the Prado and found my way to the maternity section. I selected a pair of pants that I deemed suitable for the office and took them to the dressing room. I must have been caught up in the excitement of buying something baby-related because at the time I thought the black slacks looked nice...even a little flattering; however, when I arrived to work wearing them yesterday morning I felt far from attractive in my big elastic waist pants! The girls in my department were very sweet about it though and told me that I would be more comfortable in these. I think that was just a nice way of saying they were glad I was through trying to stuff myself like a sausage into my pre-pregnancy garb!!! Let's face it--that look is not becoming on anyone! Whatever the case, they did make me feel better and I made it through the day.
So far I have only purchased the one pair of pants, but I am aware that more are in my near future. So to that I say that I will wear them out of sheer necessity, but I am NOT going to like them!!!

I love it and can completely relate to everything you've written. Enjoy this time and embrace it as much as you can - that's what everyone told me.
I'll get you some clothes as soon as Amy is done being pregnant, just a few weeks left.
That is too funny Al! Maybe you should try to convince Dad to give you some money for new clothes like he did after you got home from Italy.
