If you know me, you'll know this is silly. I don't have a closet full of clothes that are remotely fashionable. I don't buy it if it isn't clearanced or deeply discounted, so you will rarely see me in the most current trends. My job doesn't really allow for dressing too nicely and when I'm not working, I'm all about watching tv, reading a book, or baking in my sweatpants.
But for some reason, I've been taking my procedures seriously in the clothing department. First was the egg retrieval. I wore my favorite yoga pants (that I definitely got off the clearance rack at Target) and my favorite t-shirt - one I bought as part of a fundraiser for the pit bull rescue pitties.love.peace (favorite because of the content, color, and softness!). I decided on this outfit because I wanted to be comfortable because I knew I'd be sore and groggy from the anesthesia.
Then, there was the transfer. Here comes the silly part. When I got up that morning, I giggled as I thought to myself, "what should I wear to get pregnant?" So, obviously, I dressed like I was going on a somewhat casual date: nice jeans, cute top, and wedge heels. When I left there, I was so uncomfortable for the 1.5-2 hour drive home I wished I was in sweats!
Tonight I'm thinking about what I will wear tomorrow. What is the appropriate attire to find out whether your pregnancy will continue? Do I want to be comfortable? Should I be a little uncomfortable? Does it really matter anyway?
At work, you're supposed to dress for the job you want, not the one you have. Gosh, wouldn't it be easy if wearing maternity clothes willed it to be so?
