  • @bluejeanbabi05  That pants mod is awesome.  I need to try it.  I can't find maternity pants in my size (yes, even online).  I've been rocking the hairtie around the button for a couple of weeks.  This looks so much nicer.

  • @melarowan I'm heading to the store in a sec to get elastic so I can try it out on an old pair of jeans. I will report back! If it works, I think this is a great alternative to the hair tie for the next 2 months until we start getting big enough to where the actual maternity jeans don't fall down. 



  • @ChocolateIsLife That story seriously makes my day.  I love it.
  • @bluejeanbabi05 Show us a picture of your product!!
  • @bluejeanbabi05 Awesome!  Can't wait to see a finished "good" pair.

  • @bluejeanbabi05 nicely done! I bought a pair from motherhood that have the panels on the side like that and really like them. I just couldn't justify buying more than one. This is a great idea for some of the shorts I can't really fit into anymore!

  • @bluejeanbabi05 we need pics! What size elastic did you use? I'm debating if I need to do this, too. 
  • Have you sometimes felt that your bump has gotten smaller? I feel like my bump looks smaller than 2 weeks ago...My hubby says no but well he is hardly home to notice properly, I don't feel very tight and about to burst anymore...it's a good as well as a bad thing, good because you are more at ease, comfortable I suppose and bad because you tend to worry, is the baby growing as he should be? Hmmm life of a mother/expectant mother, you can never stop worrying....! 
  • @ShreyaR my guess would be bloat or organs settling in different areas or something. our uterus is just below or at the belly button right now so all that extra stuff is just...stuff. so i wouldnt worry.

  • Leggings are the best! It's all I've been wearing. Glad you found your way back to these magical pants @carries2018! But agreed, they really do need pockets. 
  • @ShreyaR it can vary a lot at this point. If you haven't pooped in a while, are bloated, how baby is laying, etc. There are some days when I feel like a whale and then I realize he is sitting with his back pushed outwards, so that makes my bump look bigger than when he is sitting sideways. 
  • *catching up*

    +1 to signing up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.  We do that for DD and she gets one book a month until she's 5.  We hardly eve buy books for her and we now have more than we have storage for.  When you add it up, that's 60 books she will receive for free. 

  • Thanks for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library suggestion! I wish I'd known about this for DD sooner. She LOVES to read! I just signed her up and am waiting for "approval" that she's been added. 
  • How does approval work for her library? Are there certain acceptance guidelines?



  • There are acceptance guidelines. I just had to provide our names, DD's name, her DOB and our home address. It verified that there was a Imagination Library represented in our area. You then get an email with contact info for the local affiliate, in this case, our local school district. It seems like they may verify the address is within the school district lines, maybe?
  • I really want to do the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, but it's not in our area. :(
  • @soprano19 Me too!  So sad.

  • @soprano19 and @melarowan do you have family that lives in another city? Our city doesn't have it but my parents does. We just signed up with their address. 
  • @OliveOyl2014 both of our families live in the same city as us. But I guess the benefit of that is that our parents are buying lots of books themselves, haha.
  • We don't have Imagination Library in our area either :( 

    For you ladies who are loving the leggings life, what do you wear with them? Dresses? Long shirts? I feel like I could enjoy leggings but I don't know what to wear them with. 
  • @jessirh I usually wear long shirts/tunics, or a Tshirt with a long cardigan over it if it's not hot out. Sometimes dresses too. I have 3 pairs of maternity leggings from my pregnancy with DD and they have been a lifesaver this time around too. 
  • @jessirh I usually wear long-ish shirts over my leggings. You can use them pretty much like tight jeans, but make sure at least the top of your butt is covered. I'll also sometimes wear them under short dresses if I haven't shaved my legs or need a little extra warmth. 

    I just started doing the hair band trick a week or two ago, and it worked great at first but now I'm already at the point where that's barely enough stretch. And my normal leggings are starting to get uncomfortable around the belly (plus I worry about stretching them out). Guess I'm going shopping this weekend...
