I know that when this phrase is used, there is no ill-intention and it is most likely meant as a compliment. BUT. I am dying for my belly to be visibly seen with an official Baby Bump. Maybe I'm being super-sensitive (which I'm entitled to since I'm pregnant), but it almost feels like my pregnancy is being downplayed or belittled.
How am I supposed to respond to that anyway? "Thanks"? or "Well, my baby's healthy."? To the former, what if they didn't mean it as a compliment? And the latter suggests that I do take it as a put down because I feel the need to justify the size of my frickin' stomach.
Everyone's reaction to my desire to have a bump is, don't worry, it'll be here soon enough. No shit. I'm well aware that my belly will soon be taking over my small frame. But I'm excited and antsy to see (and show off) my Baby Girl. I know in the long run I'll likely be happy if I stay a relatively petite preggo, but is there any need for others to broadcast it to the world?
Enough about that tangent.... On to Zulily!
Just a couple days ago I received my first shipment from Zulily, and my first pairs of Preggo pants!! You have no idea how excited I have been for them (and I was relatively unimpressed with Zulily's lengthy shipping process). Luckily one of my friends Sarah is 10 weeks ahead of me and was able to help me figure out what sizes to order. I prefer to order a size larger (even when I'm not pregnant), but I'm happy she encouraged me to go with Smalls. I would have been swimming in the Mediums!
When I pulled the pair of shorts and capris out, it took me back to middle school sizing up my uniform bottoms. They looked so silly and foreign to me.
But I did not judge. I slid those puppies on, and my life had changed forever. A couple of friends had told me how comfy pregnancy pants were, but I really had no idea.
Who in their right mind would ever go back to regular pants after owning a pair of these???????? Not this chick. I will happily avoid the dreaded Whale Tail for the rest of my life.
And for S&G's, a view of my "tiny" belly from my perspective.... I'll be seeing you later next year, Feet!
If you haven't signed up for Zulily, use my link!! Once you make your first purchase I get a $20 credit (and perhaps I'll spend it on you ;-).
