Im 21 and a half weeks pregnant now and I am now up to 167 pounds. I started my pregnancy at 156lbs. Im now up 11 pounds and Im definitely feeling it. Unfortunately I think the last couple of pounds have been more fat than baby, at least it feels that way. I am growing out of my favorite ‘pregnant’ jean shorts (its still summer here). I lost a lot of weight before this pregnancy and so Ive been wearing my old shorts from when I was much heavier, but they are finally getting too tight so I went maternity jeans shopping. The full belly panel is what I wore through both my other pregnancies and loved, I really hated the low slung little mini panel that goes all the way around the entire waist. I tried those on and I still hate them, but my belly isn’t big enough for the full belly panel so I left all the stores empty handed. Im not sure what Im going to be wearing soon! I also tried on a pair of Capri’s which I thought would be oh so cute with having a pregnant belly and they were oh so not. Im getting a bit desperate with shorts! I have lots of maternity jeans, with several different style of belly panels so I guess Ive just got to pray for cooler weather before my tummy gets too much bigger!
