Over the Hump

Today marks 20 weeks down, 20 to go. Halfway there! As you can see from the photo above, Chopita is starting to make herself known to the outside world. Maybe one of these days I'll get the Husband to take the belly picture instead of doing it self-portrait style.

Here's the take from my big foray into maternity clothes shopping today. Next time I'm a brat complaining about my mom driving me crazy, please feel free to slap me across the face with the Citizens of Humanity jeans she bought me.

I'm glad to have a couple of pairs of mom jeans and to be done with the whole rubber band/bella band nonsense. I never really cared much for the bella band, and my contempt only grew as I needed to pee more and more frequently. It seemed like I was spending half my life trying to re-establish all my jimmy-rigged undergarments. Now I can just wear my elastic waistband pants without accoutrement.

P.S. - the things on the right that look like prom gloves - those are leggings.
