Remember my dilemma about maternity clothes? Well my wardrobe problem will still continue at least for the next 2 months but I found a comfortable clothing that can allow me to wear pants and my BFF Nike shoes, YOGA PANTS! Yoga pants don’t have a garterized waistline so it won’t restrict my ever growing belly, I just choose a fold-over style in the softest fabric.

When I was still on my first trimester, I was looking forward to buying baby stuffs, researching here and there what feeding bottles are good, what brand of baby clothes, recommended diapers for babies, stollers, baby gears and accessories, etc… Little did I know that before I can have my first baby purchase, I have to buy Mommy stuff first. I thought that my present wardrobe can get me through pregnancy, that means I won’t buy maternity clothes. But my tummy almost doubled come 6th month, so my closet has to give way for roomier preggy clothes.
My first every maternity purchase is the maternity denim short from Havin’ A Baby. I bought this in preparation for our Boracay outing last June. I’m still using it until now, the roomy cloth panel in front and the adjustable garter makes it comfortable to wear and I’m hoping I can still wear it until my 9th month (I’m already at the last button/allowance of the garterized waist, hehe)

I’m quite picky on what clothes to wear, I’d normally shy away from obvious maternity clothes like jumpers and frilly pastel colored dresses. I’m quite lucky to own a number of long and loose tunic shirts, these has been my sort-of-uniform paired with leggings.
For cool maternity shirts, here’s what I’ve found:

My first shot in posting a belly shot, I didn’t post belly shots on my first trimester because it’s not obvious. My husband teases me that I’m only full hence the bulging stomach. At 16 weeks, my bump is showing especially when wearing fitted clothes. I can’t use any of my jeans anymore except for jeggings and leggings, I’m happy with this current fashion trend.

So what do you think? Can I pass up as pregnant already or just having a full stomach from a hearty lunch? =)
