There's really no question about it: I hate maternity clothes. They don't fit right, to start with. The stores have only two styles, and since I'm neither 14 or 40 neither one looks good on me. So I wind up with the same old thing day after day: T-shirt (with fewer and fewer options left every day that still fit over my belly) and shorts. I'm bored to tears (almost literally) with my clothes and how I look, and I can only imagine what my husband must think of what I look like. It must appear as though I just don't care, throwing on the same ol', same ol' every single day, when in actuality I just don't have a lot of options! I really don't want to buy new items with 10-13 weeks to go (especially with a season change in the midst of them). And besides, it wouldn't help. It'd all be a variation on the T-shirt and shorts theme.
Then there's the hair, the face, the general body. I look middle-aged and plain, at best. And while I'm aware that a lot of this is short-term, I'm also aware that I'm going to look worse before I look better! 10+ weeks of belly (and everything else!) growth isn't going to improve the situation any. Although it might start providing an excuse to the strange eye—this week is the first time this pregnancy that strangers have asked me when I'm due, so I guess at least I finally look pregnant.
Blah. Isn't it October yet?
