8.25.09: Zippers

Today was a big day for me personally. I finally decided to try on my old pants....and they sort of fit. Up until now I have been wearing my maternity pants. As we now live in a two story place I found myself using the belly panel as a pocket/bag to carry things in while going up the stairs. This is when I knew my days of maternity pants were coming to an end. Already I have misjudged the time it takes to go to the restroom as I have been spoiled by elastic for so long....zippers just slow me down and buttons - don't get me started on the unnecessary time those take. So now I am officially wearing normal pants. Of course I am not going to say they look cute on or are even an appropriate size for me, but if I can zip them, I will wear them. After gaining nearly ninety pounds I am thankful just to be wearing pants at all. In the meantime if you are walking down the street and see someone whose clothes are too small, just think to yourself that maybe they too just had kids and are celebrating the good old days a little early. I know I am.
