After my first post, my friend Michelle left me a comment about the "BellaBand". God bless her for that, because I have never heard of it before so I had no idea what it was....
For those of you who don't know, the BellaBand is basically a piece of stretchy fabric (kind of like a tube top) that pregnant women wear around their waist, over the waist of the pants, to serve 4 very wonderful purposes:
1~to cover up the open zipper and button on your pants that you are growing out of quickly
2~to hold up the maternity pants that are a little bit too loose
3~to add some length to those shirts that are shortening up around your belly
4~to wear as a nursing bra/tube top for those soon to come 3 a.m. feedings
Today I am considering the BellaBand a miracle, because I am still not ready to buy a new wardrobe full of clothes that I'll only wear for 4 1/2 more months. Typically these things run about $25.00 each (which I thought was a bit much for a piece of cloth), but thrifty me, I found them on E-bay 2 for $25.00! So I now am sporting one in white or pink, depending on what I'm wearing that day. Yes, I got to pick my own colors out of about 15 options!
Now I don't have to worry about people looking at me funny and wondering if they see my open fly. Yes, I know it's down, I did it on purpose. Thank you Michelle!

I learned something new today. Didn't know that "bella bands" existed. I might check them out on ebay myself!
That nana, what a hoot!
I haven't looked them up, but I'm having trouble envisioning them. You will have to show me!
I used rubber bands in my day :0)
And wore tops that looked like parachutes that blanketed the whole belly area. It was cool!
Sara, I'm so glad I could help you. I'm sad that I'm not around to see your cute little pregnant belly.
