...for elastic!
I finally gave in and bought a few pairs of maternity jeans (not those full belly ones but the ones with the elastic band at the top) and I could not be happier. Even though after a few days, I still find myself out of habit checking to make sure my zipper isn't down. Then I remember maternity pants don't have a zipper (very convenient for the ever forgetful mommies to be out there!)... I also wonder what the long term affects of this will be when I am back in my pre-preggers clothes. Will I get out of the habit of pulling up my zipper after using the bathroom and end up walking around exposed all the time? (someone please tell me if I do...)I'm finding anything in my wardrobe that does not have some stretch to it, is not going to be worn for a long long time. Even though I can still fit most of my clothes, the comfort factor has become uber important.
