One Happy Gal

Yesterday I made my first official maternity clothes purchase which happened a little sooner than I expected, but I've been extremely uncomfortable having my waistband pressing on my bulging gut (the stage my stomach is in now). I was wearing this thing called the Bee Band that, in a nutshell, allows you to wear your normal jeans with the top button left open and it still holds them up/gives your stomach room to 'stretch'. It's OK but I didn't think it was very comfy. I have long been a supporter of Gap jeans, so decided to check out what they had for me now.

I tried on several pairs of their maternity jeans and felt so elated. I finally looked 'normal' and had room to breathe with the help of these babies...

It's even more great that they are in my regular jeans size, but have this handy stretchy panel built in. They weren't exactly cheap, but definitely worth it. I'll be saving up for a few more pairs just like it.
