I finally caved...

and went shopping!! I was trying to hold off as much as I can but finding decent tops to wear to work is getting to be a challenge. I can still fit in most of my clothes but they are getting tight around the tummy..not a very pretty sight. Tonight, while Daddy Jarbs is out playing softball, I ventured out to Pentagon City mall. I mustered the courage to go to Motherhood Maternity store :-). Well, I found out the these maternity stores are not very short/petite people friendly!! Most of their size "small" blouses and dresses are way too big for me. Their clothes have decent prices though. I ended up getting a petite yoga pants (the only one in the rack) for $19 and maternity shorts with a full panel for $19 and maternity tankini for $30!

        

  

All of them are still a little bit loose for me but I thought I might as well get them since I am already there (I hate going to malls and try to avoid going back as much as possible). It will only take a few more weeks before the shorts can fit me perfectly. Plus, I can always fold over the panel to support my belly. Baby Jarbs has been having a growth spurt lately so who knows, they may all fit perfectly by the time we get to Cabo San Lucas for our babymoon! I hate to admit that I had to get the maternity tankini. I am not sure if I have enough courage to wear my 2 pc bikinis while in Cabo. I'll still bring them with me though :-).

I also ended up buying a couple of loose tops at Macys JUNIORS section! I had my coupon for $10 & 20% off so I was able to use them :-).
