Ta Da! I Can Wear Jeans Again!

My new jeans
My new jeans

Ever since I came home from the hospital in June, I have not been able to wear my jeans. Even though I lost over fifty pounds, those old jeans were just too uncomfortable on my abdomen to be able to wear them. Now I don’t know about you, but to me, if I am not comfortable in my clothing, I am just miserable. The other thing is that the only thing I could find that WAS comfortable to wear were sweat pants.

I have NEVER in my life worn sweat pants outside of the house. Wearing them made me feel frumpy. Old. Unattractive. I think that contributed to my depression. A while back, I started thinking about getting some maternity jeans to see if I could wear them. I asked around in a forum I am part of, Momdot, that has a lot of young moms as members, to find out what the best brand of maternity jeans would be. I got lots of recommendations for them. But I felt sort of silly being a 60 year old Grandma going into a store to buy maternity pants.

Me with my daughter, Emily. The baby is scheduled to be born by C-Section in TWO DAYS!

Then I called my daughter, Emily, who is pregnant right now, and asked her where I could buy some maternity jeans. She told me that she had a couple of pairs that she was not able to wear and she would give them to me the next time she saw me. Today, she came over to visit with me, and brought the jeans with her.

When I put them on, you can’t tell that they are maternity pants. But, OH! do they fit, and they do not cause me discomfort by being too tight across my abdomen. They accomodate my colostomy bag quite well, too. I am so happy to be able to dress the way I want to dress again! Yay!

    Hey Fab! I just had a random thought to check up on you and see where in the world you are and notice a lot has happened! I’m sorry you had to have surgery, but you seem to be in good spirits and I’m happy that you are well!!

    Who knew maternity jeans had more than one use? 🙂

    And congrats on the house!

    Yeah! They look great and you look happy. I don’t wear anything unless it’s comfortable and I do wear sweat pants outside of the house, lol.
