Well, yesterday was a first:  I utilized a rubber band to keep from having to button my pants!  I totally could button them if I wanted to, but the extra little amount of breathing room was nice so I went for it.  I’m at a point where I can still wear regular pants….but only the pants that were always on the loose side.  Thank goodness I don’t have to go into an office on a daily basis or I’d either be fired for wearing the same (casual) pants each day or I’d have to invest in some real work clothes that fit and that would bum me and my checking account out.

I did order several “bottoms” from GapMaternity yesterday because they had lots of things that were marked down to $15-20.   I learned the art of buying only sale merchandise from the Master (Mistress?) herself, Sheils.  I’m hoping that at least some of what I bought will fit and provide me with something to wear to some company stuff I have coming up this month.
