6 Months!

Wow! Has my belly grown this month?! I have just finished my 6th month and am starting into my 7th. I am so happy to be in the last trimester! The end is insight! Its still really hard to believe that in three months my life will completely change again. It seems so close yet so far away at the same time. I went early with Jaysa so I keep hoping that maybe the doctor will let me go early this time too. I have been having A LOT of Braxton Hicks contractions. I am not quite sure if that is normal at this point but I have a doctors appointment Monday so we will know then. There is not much that I like about being pregnant, but one thing that I absolutely LOVE is being able to feel this little girl move. She is in constant motion all the time and I love to press on her hands and feet when she pushes them against the inside of my belly. Its amazing to think that a few layers of skin are separating us and that its even possibly for me to be making a baby in there. I even love to bug her a little bit. Sometimes I just love to poke her and feel her react to being poked. I already love her so much and I haven't even met her yet. I also love to go get pregnancy pictures taken, which are scheduled for December 4th! This brings me to the thing I hate the most about being pregnant... gaining the weight and watching my hips and butt expand. I weighed myself today and I am 2 lbs over my weight schedule and the holidays are only going to make that weight gain so much worse! One of the reasons I hate it is because once my pants get too small I have nothing to wear because I REFUSE to go buy pregnancy clothes. I think its a waste of money because you wear them for a few months and then put them up for two or three years. By the time you get them back down they are out of style. They are also soooo expensive and unflattering. I like to go to TJMaxx and Ross and find some clothes my belly fits into but that I will also wear when I am not pregnant. Jeans on the other hand are a little different. The bigger the size the longer the crotch gets and I hate having a saggy crotch. I have one pair of flair capris that I can still button. I wear them all the time, however, I have been told are out of style :( I know you can get those bella bands but I hate always worrying about if it is pulled down past my open zipper. So since I don't want to be out of style for my pregnancy photo shoot I decided to try to go find the some new jeans that actually fit and are in style.

I found the most AMAZING pair of jeans in the world! I went to DEB because thats where I got my out of style flair capris that I can still button at 6 months pregnant. I thought those were pretty amazing but what I found was even better! I started looking for something stretchy and found these.

They are not anything special but they fit great! They don't look baggy and the crotch isn't too long. They even have zippers at the bottom which I love and best of all....

I have room to grow! I know this is a weird pic but I just wanted to show how stretchy they were. I can fit both of my arms in the waste! I am so happy that I found these and they were only $20. They are so worth every penny because I think I will be able to wear them till I have the baby! C.J. will be happy about that since last pregnancy I wore sweats the whole ninth month because I couldn't fit into anything. If you are pregnant and hate pregnancy clothes go to DEB and find the stretchiest pair of jeans you can!
