latest fun finding....

i now have thunder-thighs.

i truly believe that i could have started a fire yesterday when i boldly stepped out in shorts. short-shorts, yes, but shorts that i can still wear under my belly, just no longer around...my...thighs... i thought i'd been good about keeping active and all that jazz so i wouldn't gain in completely irrelevant-to-pregnancy areas, like arms and upper, inner thighs, but surprise! it's gross. and painful. and just horribly uncomfortable to walk around. i know that longer shorts could be the easy-fix, but it's not like i have dollars laying around for maternity shorts. well, i could find extra money if i could find the right shorts. oh boy. the clothes are just...let's just say that options are few. and for a smaller/shorter pregnant person...well. and not all pregnant women wanna wear khaki safari shorts or denim 5" short. if you've been paying attention, you know that my thighs aren't diggin' that exposure right now.

i have had luck at a maternity consignment store (brilliant), but not with pants. tops are easy. but then again, this is the story of the life of a shorty, knocked up or not--tops are easy.
