3 Must-Have Pairs of Maternity Pants
If you missed our big announcement in last week’s post, you should read it here. Hint: We’re expecting a baby come May, 2016!
So, being pregnant has its strange things, as all women know: your boobs feel like melons, and you start wearing loose, cotton grandma bras — because they are the best ever and, god forbid, something touches them!
And, cravings strike out of nowhere. I literally was on my street the other day after teaching a cooking class, and stopped in my car and said, “I need Chick-fil-A now.” It was like my tiny human inside of me was like, “Bitch, please. No salad. Get me waffle fries!” I caved and gave in to my little tiny human and rolled up to that fast food window in my chef get-up and ordered a delicious chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Mind you, as a chef, and an advocate for nutrition, I haven’t had fast food in so long. I couldn’t honestly tell you the last time crunchy, salty, greasy fries from a fast food joint hit my lips. I can tell you, though, that I enjoyed every bite of it.
Weird things are happening, like my pants are not really buttoning anymore, yet I’m not quite showing. I just sort of look like I am bloated and fat. Because of this, I caved and went on Motherhood Maternity and bought myself some amazing leggings, jeans, and work maternity pants — despite me not officially showing yet. I said, “Screw it.” I will eventually need them. Plus, they send the most amazing coupons! I got 40% off my last order, and all my stuff fit to size. The jeans I bought are honestly the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn! The leggings I could wear all day, every day. And on days I don’t want to squeeze into some nice work outfit, I have my go-to mom pants now, which are classy and fit like a glove!
Thank you, Motherhood Maternity! Now why can’t pants be made like this for everyone? Seriously? Who doesn’t love a good pair of leggings? And I don’t know about you, but they truly are the most comfortable thing ever invented.
Also, I can’t get over the amazing coupons they send you with every order!!!!! I was blown away by how amazing and generous they are. I am stockpiling some of them and plan to use them all! My husband couldn’t believe it either. At first he said, “Is this real?”
Here are the maternity pants I bought. If you’re pregnant (even if you’re just in the beginning phases still and just feel fat), check them out. Your life will change for the better!
