So yesterday was a fun-filled day! I went shopping with Gran — mostly for her stuff than mine, since I had no money left until payday. However, I did manage to find a pair of maternity pants that fit me well. None of my pants fit me at all, and it’s really rather quite frustrating, to say the very least. Especially for work, none of my court pants fit me — they all put pressure on my stomach and make it very uncomfortable to wear. Now that Baby Bean is growing exponentially, I notice my lower tummy get bigger by the day. Seriously, by the day! And what’s furthermore frustrating is that I’m so small to begin with, most maternity pants are huge on me. I tried on about 8 before I found one that I wasn’t swimming in, and they were all sized “XS.” I suppose I shouldn’t be complaining, but I am all about comfort right now. I’ll have to go back after payday to get some more pairs of maternity pants - otherwise I’d end up wearing the same pants everyday. Heh.

I’m 11 weeks along today. Still nauseous, very tired, but overall extremely excited and happy. Baby Bean and I are doing well.

You know it’s a pain finding clothing when you’re super small or big. It really is! The best thing that happened to me while maternity shopping was I found a shirt style I liked that they had in 3 different colours, so I got 1 of each colour. And then stole Kai’s t-shirts. lol
Make sure you get stretchy stuff too. That way when you get super gigantic it stretches with you instead of you having to buy even bigger stuff. I have no idea why they make maternity shirts and pants that don’t stretch! It’s the silliest thing in the world.

I know how to knit and crochet. I love doing both, but it’s easier for me to crochet, plus I don’t know how to do any decorative stitches from knitting and it’s harder for me to add new rows of yarn while knitting. Plus crocheting seems to be faster for me right now. I can knit scarves, mittens and hats though! lol that’s about it and it takes me awhile.

Helen does your pants have buttons on them and the little loop htat you put them in ? because if it does then then you can do the rubber band trick till you get some new materity pants.
