Disappeared
The first trimester of pregnancy is tricky, because you're excited and you want to start shopping for baby stuff and new maternity clothes right away, but if you get spotted in Motherhood, people know your secret and the word gets out. So I spent the last 3 months anticipating buying some new cute maternity clothes to freshen up my stale and overworn wardrobe. I spent Monday going from one store to another, only to find that it is impossible to find anything for pregnant women anywhere. This is in the land of babies. The places I found clothes in the past no longer carry maternity clothes: Old Navy, The Gap, TJ Maxx, JC Penney (unless you count one rack of horrid giant panel pants), and Walmart. Some of these stores carry their maternity clothes online, which is great if you're 5'7" and have the perfectly proportioned waist, even while pregnant. I have to actually try clothes on. And yes, there is the Motherhood store in the mall, which has a wide selection of clothing for expectant mothers. If you want to pay out a gazillion bucks for a pair of shorts. I am annoyed. Ross carries maternity clothes, which is fantastic, since the clothes there are inexpensive. But I don't understand why most clothing stores have excluded an entire clientele type. Especially here in Utah where pregnant women are EVERYWHERE. Boo on them.

That is weird. One nice thing is today's trends seem to be prego friendly. Honestly I got most of my maternity clothes at regular stores and I still wear them hah!
Try Target. I saw some cute clothes in there the other day, and when I went to take a closer look, I realized they were maternity clothes. It almost made me wish I was pregnant again...almost, but not quite.
I think that the Gap in Orem still has maternity clothes - you should check it out when you're down visiting mom and dad next time.
