I started showing REALLY early with this pregnancy. I’ve heard that you show much earlier after your first pregnancy, but goodness – I was NOT prepared for this. I was unable to button my pants after week six. Week six, y’all. I’m afraid that I’m going to be ginormous by the time I have this baby!
Here’s how I’ve been keeping my pants up for the past few weeks. Thankfully, I haven’t needed to whip out the maternity pants quite yet. I use this rubber band and my beloved Bella Band, and I’m good to go.


I think I was pretty scared when my pants wouldn’t zip. Actually, I was more scared when the maternity clothes I had started to get tighter and tighter. Gah I was so hungry…I mean that baby was so hungry.
lol, yeah that baby’s appetite is shocking!
I will have to remember this rubber band trick
It’s a lifesaver!
