Black is Slimming

Why is the color black so slimming? That is a question that has always pondered me. Is it because it is such a dark color and hides things well? I don't know. But let me tell you it does its job wonderfully.

It has been brought to my attention that I have yet to post photos of my pregnant self. What was I thinking I know not to share these photos. We take photos each time we head off to the doctors office for our monthly visits that way we can see how large and in charge I am getting from a month to month basis.

I have only been to the doctors for regular checks twice and am already 15 weeks along. Sounds funny, I know. My doctor does not see you for your first visit until you are 8 weeks pregnant. This has changed from when I was pregnant with Josie and he saw me at 6 weeks. He is a very busy man, so I completely understand. Plus they get better readings and photos from the sono machine the longer you wait.

Enjoy the photos and remember black is slimming.

Didn't I say black was slimming or what! I am in maternity clothes now and still look this good in black. None (well 95%) of my regular pants do not fit. I have several pairs of pants that are just a larger size because the day after Josie was born I refused to wear my maternity clothes anymore since I was not pregnant and purchased a few pairs of bottoms just in a larger size to make myself feel better.
