My How You've Grown

I've noticed over the past few weeks that my clothes have been getting a bit more, how shall I put it, snug. I cleaned out my closet, removing the offending "skinny" clothes. What I was left with were flowy shirts (thank goodness they're in) and anything with an elastic waist. This was a week ago. Now I'm finding even the pants, shorts and skirts with elastic waists don't quite fit. I hate the thought of Peanut having to bend herself around the protrusion that is my pants digging into my ever expanding waistline. Even dad-to-be has been surprised at the rapid belly growth asking me "are you sticking it out"? Um, no.

Therefore, the time has come for maternity wear. I'm beginning to learn what a belly band is as well as the difference between back panel, demi panel, roll panel and full panel. I've included a lovely picture of my fabulous new torso, which, if the past 2 weeks is any indication, will double its size within the next few days.
