Prego Pencil Skirt?

A prego pencil skirt. That seems like a complete oxymoron to me! But being in desperate need for cute (yet budget-friendly) maternity-wear, I am willing to try anything. The skinny jeans were a success (IMO at least!), so maybe the prego pencil skirt has a little hope. Although, I must say, I'm currently shaped more like a bulky eraser than a sleek pencil.

Here is the one I ordered, again from Target: http://www.target.com/Liz-Lange-Target-Pencil-Skirt/dp/B001C1ELSS/sr=1-1/qid=1248819939/ref=sr_1_1/187-1496655-9239228?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Amaternity%20pencil%20skirt&page=1

I will let you know how it turns out.

Has anyone else found any cute yet affordable prego-wear? Send me your links!

Peeking Through My Belly Button

I was up in NY over the weekend to celebrate my niece's 3rd birthday. She is such a cutie pie -- just the sweetest little girl you could ever imagine with her big blue eyes and blonde hair. Well, she was acting a little silly at the table one afternoon, trying to get her Aunt Zoomy's (me) attention, so I decided to tell her a little fib. I told her that Baby Billups was looking out through my belly button, so that she had to be on her best behavior so she could set a good example for her baby cousin. She looked at me with wide eyes and said, "REALLY? Baby Billups can see me?". I said "Yup!" and we went on with our meal. Well, later in the day, Ellie was on the potty and asked if when she was done, if she could look at Baby Billups. I was a little confused, but then she got up, walked over to my belly, lifted my shirt, and put her eye up to my belly button! She said it was too dark in there to see anything. : ) Gosh, I love that little girl! She really makes me laugh.

The Maternity Fashion Gods are Smiling! UPDATE

So, my prego skinny jeans arrived last week. And I must say -- they are FABULOUS! It was the first time in months that I felt like myself, instead of some elastic-waisted "fashion don't", constantly waiting for the Fashion Police to jump out and take me into custody at any moment. I also like that the jeans have the full-coverage maternity band. They definitely feel more secure, and slide around less. I recommend these jeans 110%! Here is the link again: http://www.target.com/Liz-Lange-Skinny-Denim-Lena/dp/B001VG0NG8/qid=1248617108/ref=br_1_5/191-9536863-0601111?ie=UTF8&node=391695011&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1

They are only $32.99 on the Target website. Can't beat it!
