IME, the best option to cover that awkward "transitional" phase when the regular clothes don't fit any longer and the maternity clothes don't fit yet are skirts with elastic waistbands and leggings. Hell, I'm at 8 months and my non-maternity exercise pants still fit.

My loose black cotton-blend PJ bottoms from Target (bastards aren't making them any more, so I only have two pairs) still fit me better than most of my maternity pants, now that I'm growing out more than I am up. They're also more comfortable than most of my maternity pants, and made of material that breathes. If you can find something similar, stock up. I'd live in them, given the choice.

Yeah, Jilli and ita would be millionairesses within minutes.

Hey, Billytea! Long time no posting with. Or something.

Billytea! As I was packing (or at least pretending to) the other day, I found something I want to send you. Can you send me your snailmail address?

Lunch?! I'm already thinking about dinner! (Of course the time zones make that fun.)
