April is now over 4 months along. She has always been a petite girl. She has only gained 2 pounds, although it looks like far more because she has the cutest little baby bump. I think she shows more because she is so small. However, the past couple of weeks she has just been in misery because she only has jeans to wear, and they haven't buttoned for quite some time. The zipper has been cutting into her middle, yet when she stands up to walk, her pants will slide down if not buttoned. Last week we decided enough was enough.
When *I* was expecting, I owned exactly 1 dress, 2 pairs of slacks, 2 pairs of shorts, and 3 shirts. They lasted me for both my pregnancies, and are actually still hanging in my closet in hopes that I would someday have a need to wear them again. However, being 6 inches taller, and much "fuller figured" than April, there's no way they would be of use to HER.
So yesterday the girls and I had lunch at Applebee's, and then bought proper maternity clothing. (and she STILL wears sizes "small" and "extra small".) She now has enough to last her, and I must say the clothes NOW are much cuter than they were 14 years ago.
