Changes

You may have noticed that the Fikle Chik header has undergone a bit of a transformation since last you saw her. Thanks for the great suggestion Hidden Thought! She now more accurately reflects her current physique, as you can see by these photos:




Fourteen weeks have added 3 or 4 pounds and made sweatpants even more heavenly than they once were. Too bad I can't wear them to school. My first maternity clothing excursion was more challenging than I expected. I found that Old Navy has some great looking gear online for women of the pregnant persuasion, but I wasn't sure what size to get:




The maternity section in the store is pretty tiny, but I at least determined what sizes fit me best (at least for now) so that I could order a couple of things. The grey cords (above) are incredibly comfortable and I highly recommend them.

I actually think maternity clothes have got something going on - flowy, comfortable tops, stretchy pants - I think I want maternity clothes even when I'm not pregnant! So for you non-pregnant women out there who want some comfortable work-wear, I say go maternity!
