I think I am officially in that phase where normal clothes no longer fit, but maternity clothes are still a ways off. For the past two weeks or so, my pants and skirts have been too tight at the waist. I could deal with it by wearing them and then unbuttoning or unzipping every once in a while when I am just sitting at my desk. I just bought a few pairs of pants on sale that are a size bigger than I normally wear to get me through the next few weeks, but even those don't feel great. Most of my dresses are ok as long as they're not closely tailored to show off the waist.
Today I tried on a skirt and I couldn't even zip it up! It was depressing, not only because I feel fat, but also because that means that I have to start being even more creative to find work outfits. I think it's also getting more obvious to other people. I wouldn't say that people who look at me would automatically guess I'm pregnant, but I think they can see that I have some sort of belly.
I hadn't really thought about it until now (since my clothes all of the sudden don't fit), but what the hell am I going to wear this semester? The idea of spending money on maternity clothes just to wear to school seems stupid, but I guess I'll have to figure out something. Pregnancy would be a lot better if your body didn't change at all.
