Sage Advice from some jack-ass:

"wear your husbands clothes instead of buying maternity clothes - at first" Um, this idea assumes that your husband is fatter than you are while pregnant. i don't know about you, but I couldn't wear most of my husbands clothes before I got pregnant. How am I supposed to squeeze my ever-growing ass into them now. In addition, my husband happens to be 6" taller than I am and lacking hips or breast...this can pose a problem.

Now, don't get me wrong, I hate maternity clothes, I think they are evil, evil things that cost way too much money and never fit properly - see earlier post on my loathing of la ropa del diablo (LRDD) - but wearing your husbands clothes seems like horrible advice, for me anyway. First of all if I could get my ass into his jeans that would be one thing, but I can't so that's that. Secondly, if your husband is larger than you, wearing his clothing, especially in the first trimester, will make you look like a ridiculous hobo who can't pick clothes that fit...not too flattering.

Anyway, enough ranting about LRDD, my goal now is to fit back into my pre-baby clothing...harder than you might think. I believe that I am fatter now than I was when pregnant...ok, not really, but I feel that way. Damn breast feeding, always creating new fat deposits.
