Bye, bye maternity pants. Hello muffin top.

Tuesday I decided to try on some jeans tucked away in the closet. They were once a staple in my wardrobe, but had been relegated to a sack in the closet since at least month 3 of pregnancy. Wonder of wonder, they fit! They are a strechy denim and low rise. My skinny jeans made of less forgiving fabric and with a higher waist aren't going around the hips/waist yet, but we'll get there. For now I'm elated to be out of elastic waistband pants, even if I have a muffin top spilling over. If I wear a baggy shirt, you can't tell. Unfortunately, most of my shirts are fitting a little snug in the chest department--go breastfeeding!--and clining to the pooch below the belly button. Still, there is progress back to my old shape. (Since the muffin top isn't going to be documented visually, there is no photograph accompaning this post. Really, you should thank me.)
