Fitting Problem
I seriously need to buy new clothes. Last Sunday, I attended the baptism of a family friend's baby. It was only after I took a bath that I realized that I had almost nothing to wear for the occasion. You see, whenever I go out of the house (which I do rarely these days), I just put on my usual comfortable preggy tops and leggings. But this is a special occasion, something that would require more than just comfortable flip flops and the usual light get-up.

That morning the cramped closet that I share with my husband turned topsy turvy. I panicked 'cause I couldnt' find my old black preggy pants that would go right with the big-sized Kamiseta blouse that has the right room around the tummy area. Then I remembered that I gave away most of my preggy clothes right after I gave birth to my 2nd baby. The gaucho black pants given to me by my sister-in-law saved the day. It fits just right because it just wraps, and not tighten around my tummy area. Dressing up and looking at myself at the mirror, with a pair of blue swarowski dangling earrings to boot, I was convinced that I looked nice. That was good enough for me.

For budget-consciuos work-at-home moms like me, buying preggy clothes is more of a necessity rather than of a fashion statement. I work at home, and rarely go out of the house except once or twice a week to run errands, go to church, or go malling with the family during weekends. It was a different situation 2 pregnancies ago when I was still in law school when I have to plan and spend more for appropriate preggy clothes.

But now that I am now left with a few preggy clothes with still 4 months to go with this pregnancy, I have no choice but to allot just the right budget for new ones.
