Yoga pants and elastic waistbands.

Here I am at 17+ weeks (fresh off a trip to the YMCA, my hair is hot), and the last of my pre-preggers pants are staying strong, but I also have some very nice new expandable waistbands as well. Kohl's just opened down the road, and I must say this is one of my favorite stores. The maternity clothes did not disappoint. This will be a Thanksgiving to remember, my waistband will allow me that extra helping of sweet potatoes that I had to forgo in years past. Elastic is my friend for the next 5+ months. The sizes for maternity pants is a mystery to me. I find it very hard to believe that all women fall into the category of S - M - L for these few months of their lives. And even harder to believe, is that at 5'8" and badonkadonk butt-in-training I use a size small.

I know it is a little late in the game to take notice, but the momentum is continuing to to build around my expanding waist and this little baby preparing for the world. I have said so many times that time is flying, but that expression takes an entirely new meaning when there is the anticipation of a new addition to our family. I know I have months still, but the worried (I have a better, less appropriate word, but I won't use it) parent gene is already in full gear. When am I going to have the room ready (I haven't even started), when am I going to take classes to know how to get baby out, or feed her/him?
