I'll start off by saying that I have NOT in any way, shape or form been "dieting" during my pregnancy. I've watched what I ate, yes, but only to ensure I wasn't overloading myself with sugar since I'm at a higher risk for gestational diabetes.
OK, my little disclaimer aside, I'm going to rambling brag.
We stopped by Old Navy because they have an extra 50% off clearance sale going on. I figured I'd buy a bunch of size 18 jeans (what I wore pre-pregnancy, and, amazingly, am still wearing despite my sizable belly) and just sew in the maternity panel. We didn't find ANY size 18s. On the rack was the exact same jeans I was wearing (just a size 16), and my mom said just to get those and we'd chop off the waist band. We also bought a few pair of XL maternity pants for $4/piece, and just decided to do the tailoring.
Well, well, well...lo behold, we get home, and I try on the size 16s to see where we'll have to chop. They fit - like a friggen glove. That's right. At 5 months pregnant, I have somehow, magically, gotten a size smaller than I was at the start of my pregnancy. Back in August, a size 16 wouldn't even come up over my hips.
It's bizarre. I HAVE gained weight, and at a pace that my OB is thrilled with. Baby is growing wonderfully - we just had an ultrasound and it showed baby to be exactly where it should be for 20 weeks.
The clothing size gods have finally smiled upon me.
An OMG YAY moment
Good for you!
I've wondered how you've been doing, it's great to see you popping in. Wishing you a continued healthy and happy pregnancy!
