Nothing Fits!

Okay, now I am not complaining about this.

I am just kind of wondering why in the world, at only eight weeks pregnant, my clothes do not fit?!?!

For the record, I have not gained weight. I have actually lost four pounds in the past two weeks, not that I am trying to lose weight, but morning sickness makes keeping food down really difficult.

It's actually not just my waist that is the problem, either. My breasts have started really filling out these past few days. I cannot button my fitted jackets any more. Unfortunately, I don't think that fitted jackets look that great or professional when they are unbuttoned. About half of my business suits have fitted jackets. The half that have the looser, longer cut jackets? Well, those tend to be higher waisted in the pants - so they don't fit either.

I have a wonderful girlfriend who was pregnant last year. She knew what to do and got me two pregnancy bands.

I almost feel like a fraud, wearing my first true article of "maternity" clothing. Not that you can tell, it is hidden well under a sweater and buttoned jacket. But I know it's there. It's like I keep waiting for someone to walk up to me, tap me on the shoulder, and say, "You know, it's way too early to be wearing maternity clothes."

I agree. So tell that to my pants and jackets!
