Five months post-pregnancy and I find myself facing the moment of truth about my pants.. and just about every bottom part of my outfit. Will these still fit me or not? You see, upon knowing I was preggie, I took it upon myself to start wearing maternity pants (the ones with stretchable panels), maternity shorts, maternity tops, etc to make sure my baby is comfy inside. Yeah, maternity everything! Feel na feel lang hehe :)
It must have been a year ago when I last wore my pre-baby jeans. Who knows whether dwarves actually adjusted my clothes to make them smaller?! Hahaha! I may not have birth-giving hips but I gained a lot too..so much that from a usual X-Small or Small shirt size, I'm now mostly Medium or even (gulp!) Large based from the size chart of most online stores I frequent. Besides, I think I'm already spending a lot on nursing/breastfeeding tops that it's not anymore justifiable to spend on new bottoms. Especially when di naman malaki ang diperensya. If I were my hubby, and for good measure, I'd tell myself to lose weight and tone up na lang so I can still use most of my old clothes :) healthy and fit mommy, healthy wallets..I say it's a win-win proposition!
So far so good! There are a couple shorts that don't fit anymore but most of my pants and slacks are just okay. My spandex work-out garments are well, spandex..so with frequent use through exercise, they should fit well in no time! Maybe I need to lose some more inches off my waist so they don't cling too much and strangle my innards and reveal unknown cellulites..Aaackk!!! I'll be giving some of these used (but still in good condition) goods to our helper and my younger cousins. I'd hate for these to just gather dust. Besides, Z is still too young; I don't know if these things would still be in fashion when the time comes she's my married-but-no-baby-yet size :)
I'm also actually surprised to find some flirty skirts and dresses tucked in that drawer! Well just my luck as we have back-to-back parties to attend this June! And I'm already composing outfits in my mind. I just wish hubby would approve of me in them! Teehee!
So excuse my junk, this mommy has "modelling" oh, and clean-up duties to attend to! :)
