I'm only 3 weeks 3 days pregnant.... but I've put on over a stone since my wedding in the spring and my clothes really are too tight - I've been saying for weeks that I need to buy a few comfortable staple items to see me through until I lose the weight....

Anyway, tonight, I decided to stop worrying that this pregnancy wasn't going to stick and I let myself indulge in some online research - you know, baby names, nursery design....maternity clothes....

Well it got me to thinking - those over-bump maternity jeans look reaaaaallly comfy..... and a few long, stretch tops wouldn't go amiss.... and..... I love the maternity cord trousers - they'd look great with a red tunic top to wear Christmas day... and.....

Is next weekend too early for a shopping trip?? Oh come on, no-one will know they're maternity clothes except me and my super comfortable tummy.....! And I don't believe in fate so there's nothing to tempt, right??? 4 weeks.....?!!!
