expectant motherhood on... maternity clothes

still working my way through the 50 year old maternity book... oh my how times have changed. "The most important consideration in regard to the expectant mother's wardrobe is that it should be attractive. This may sound like a superficial observation but it is profoundly true. Yes, more important than knowing the dangers of circular garters and high heels is the knowledge that you are well-groomed, because only then (if you are like most women) will you really enjoy entertaining your friends and meeting your husband's friends, and in turn visiting their homes. Pregnancy is no time to be a recluse. The more time you are in the company of others, the better off you are." (bolding added by me for emphasis!) screw comfort! focus on looking good! if only it were that easy! i'm still getting by with my two pairs of pants, but just barely. they are getting much too tight at this point. i bought a cute pair of maternity pants at target, which fit great except that they are made for someone significantly taller than me! i either need to find a good tailor or find somewhere that sells maternity clothes for short people! doctor's appointment #2 is tomorrow morning. fingers crossed that they don't need to take more blood. and hopefully i'll get to hear roo's heartbeat!
