Mom Jeans

For the last three months my wardrobe has consisted of a few maternity clothes, sweat pants, and pajamas. I have been nervous about even trying to shop. My body is so different than before Reese. I have wider hips(which they were already pretty wide!), a bigger butt, huge boobs, and a roll on my belly that I can’t quite explain. Shopping would mean me being open to spending a day trying on clothes in order to find what style actually will fit me. It also meant me being open to a different style of clothes than what I wore before Reese change my body. All of this was extremely overwhelming to me but at the same time I was so ready to start getting dressed again and to feel good about myself again. My Momma G(Rich’s mom), offered to take me shopping for my birthday. I excepted but was so nervous. She took us to the Belk Charity Sale which means, Momma G, Rich, Reese, and Aunt Donna all woke up at the crack up dawn in order to catch some great deals. I tried on a million outfits and I successfully found some clothes that were not made for pregnant women! Now my size was bigger(way bigger) and my rise on pants is now higher but I manged to get some great clothes. I even found some dresses that look good on my new body. I do feel older now. Not only am I turning 31 next Sunday but I apparently wear mom clothes now. I kept thinking that I wanted to loose some more baby weight before shopping but who knows how long that will take! I haven’t quite figured out how to exercise yet. When he is asleep, I am busy unpacking still, doing laundry, and washing dishes. Or sometimes just laying on the couch watching tv because I am so exhausted. But at least I now have some cute clothes until my body melts away. My Momma G gave me back some confidence by buying new clothes. I actually was able to wear a dress to church yesterday and I felt like a million bucks! I even wore make-up! So thanks Momma G for such a wonderful gift. Nothing like a new wardrobe to make a girl feel pretty. So watch me work those mom jeans!
