Why is it that every pregnant woman I see is wearing some kind of nasty voluminous giant patterned dress that was never fashionable and never will be?
I have made an effort to buy maternity clothes which resemble the kind of clothes I wear usually - i.e. jeans or black pants, shirts & t-shirts. I haven't had to try very hard to buy these items, they're pretty much what is available in the two maternity stores that exist here. Someone said to me the other day they thought I always dressed well (they only see me when I'm out, rather than slobbing around looking like crap!) which was a lovely compliment but I really haven't made any kind of special effort with my maternity clothes, just bought very average things which are basically normal clothes with a bit of extra waist space. I don't go for dresses when I'm not pregnant so I'm not going to start now, and I don't like wearing anything gigantic resembling my grandmothers curtains as it's not flattering to me or *anyone*... my gear is more along the lines of bump hugging t-shirts and low rise jeans.
And yet, everyone else I see is wearing these phenomenally unpleasant tents. Why? Why? Why? And where on earth do they get them? I have never seen anything like this for sale (thankfully)!
On another note - I have friends coming over for a BBQ tonight which will be an interesting learning process as I'm crap at BBQ'ing and so are they (despite their Canadian-ness). I have to clean up this pig sty of a house and also go shopping for food. Neither of which I feel like doing.. I just want to sleep.
