Yesterday, I worked on laundry and cleaned bathrooms. Both of those jobs are a bit harder on the back and hips these days, so I decided to give myself the morning off.<\/p>\n
So we went to Kohl’s. I found some things for Eric. I found some things for me. Some of them I’m very excited about!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I was in the fitting room, trying on just as many shirts that didn’t fit as that did, wondering why nice-fitting maternity clothes are just so dang hard to find. <\/p>\n
I mean, really, why?<\/p>\n
Do men design these things?<\/p>\n
If women design them, have these women ever carried a baby?<\/p>\n
I mean seriously, why would you tell someone to “buy your pre-pregnancy size” but then not make that size actually fit someone of that size? I don’t get it. Why would I (normally about a 2\/4 pant) wear a size 6 or 8 in maternity pants? Why would the size small shirt, not actually fit someone who is size small?<\/p>\n
Of course, a twin pregnancy means I’ll always be a bit bigger than ‘normal’ even with only one. But the problem isn’t my belly. It’s my shoulders. See, my pre-pregnancy size is PETITE. Small PETITE. So the smalls, the few of those that there are, must all actually be tried on because my chest and arms and shoulders are too small. And even with my slightly-larger pregnancy rack, the necklines (which are almost always v-neck, which never works as well on me as it does on my lovely sister) sag down, showing off my nursing bra to the world. Great. <\/p>\n
So, I rant to the universe….WHY????<\/p>\n
Okay, I’m done. I’m sure some of you understand. And for those of you who can magically fit into every maternity shirt or pant you try on…I am seriously jealous! <\/p>\n
Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
