Maternity Clothes...
Oh, how I hate them, but that is neither here nor there.
I have to admit, my maternity clothes, however hated and however ugly, have served me well. About 3/4 of them are from when I was pregnant with Ben, so they have lasted through THREE pregnancies now and that's pretty darn good. A few shirts and all the shorts are from when I was pregnant with Simon and I look forward to breaking those out when the weather finally turns warm again. (speaking of which, is this ever going to happen?)
These clothes really are old friends, which is why I was saddened to lose my one and only pair of maternity jeans today to a hole in the right knee -- the exact same fate every other pair of jeans I own eventually meets. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I do to cause constant right knee (but not left knee) wear and tear, but anyway...
So this afternoon I treated myself to a couple of new pair. I was so excited when I went on the Gap maternity website and found the jeans I usually wear when I'm NOT pregnant are now available in full-panel maternity style. WOOHOO! So excited. Whoever eventually inherits my maternity clothes will be excited too because they are super nice! :)
I hope they get here soon because I'm down to just my khakis and yoga pants for the time being. LOL.

I too am baffled by the hole in the knees jeans problem. My only solution now is that being a mom, we spend a LOT of time dropping to our knees to do something for the kids. And walking on our knees, etc. I still had it happen before kids but not as often as I do with kids.
It's funny how much better maternity clothes have gotten even in the short time between #1 and #3's pregnancies, isn't it? Heck, even high end designers make maternity clothes now. What will they be wearing when our kids' are having kids?
