Maternity Clothes

Dear Avacado,

Today you were a little more noticeable when I zipped up my skirt (I had a trial today and always try to dress to impress!) so after court I found myself at the maternity clothing store in the mall.  What an experience that was - finding clothes on a normal day is usually tough but this was a different monster.

I ended up with a pair of capris, a pair of shorts and two shirts.  The capris have what they call a "full panel" meaning that the elastic comes up above my stomach and the shorts have an "under band" which means there is a thick band that sits below my expanding stomach.  We shall see which style I prefer.

All that's left to do is find some work clothes that I can tolerate wearing -so much of the clothing has ties under the chest (empire waist) or has ties in the back (circa 1980s housewife clothes) ..... neither is my style and I can't imagine finding myself in these clothes on a daily basis let alone in Court!

Hopefully a trip to visit your Aunt Ana in Boston will remedy the clothing situation soon.  Until then - please stay tucked deep inside so my work clothes will fit :)

xoxo
Erin
