Stacey thanks the man behind expandable clothing

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

It’s official: the only clothing I can comfortably wear anymore is made of Spandex. Not it has to be 100% Spandex — but everything I put on my body, whether it be jeans, leggings, tank tops, tees — it all must be somewhat stretchy or else I simply cannot tolerate it on my puffy prego flesh.

It’s t-minus 27 days until I deliver (hopefully sooner) and I’m huge. Think: GOODYEAR BLIMP huge (which is incidentally going to be my Halloween costume if I can figure out a good way to make a propeller for my back…). Every day when I get out of the shower, I look at my maternity clothes and want to vomit. I feel like I’ve been wearing the same thing again and again (um, I have), and lately the only thing I can tolerate are leggings, Jcrew tank tops, and open cardigans. It’s like my pregnant uniform; I wear the same thing every day but in different colors — kind of like my old social studies teacher, Mr. Eisert, did in gradeschool.

I can only imagine how uncomfortable pregnant women were before the invention of Spandex which lead to Lycra and all that stretchy goodness in the clothing industry these days. Apparently I owe a lot to the Du Pont chemist who allows me to wear clothes!

Big Mama communes with nature in her Lycra leggings, tank, and sweater! But in all seriousness, being 8.5 months pregnant necessitates clothes with some give!
