The perfect P.J.’s!! December 14, 2006

O.K….one more post tonight…I still have two more big posts to do but I must get my beauty sleep! I’ve been having a bit of a p.j. dilema. Our house is rather chilly at night so p.j.’s are a must have in the winter….I can’t stand gowns because no matter what I do they seem to end up tied tightly around my neck by morning. Normally I have all sorts of cute flannel and fleece sets that I wear pretty much from the minute I get home at night until the shower the next morning but none of those really fit me anymore….not to mention that having a 2″ strip of elastic around your belly is SO uncomfortable and pulling them under the belly doesn’t seem to work (and don’t get me started on the top half….we’ve had enough of those discussions!) Then I turned to long sleeve t’s with large leggins….VERY large leggins….the kind that you see out on the street and you aren’t sure if you should be embarrassed for the girl or proud of her for going out in public in them….anyway…those are very comfortable BUT when you change your sleeping position as many times as I do in a night….and this is not a roll-over-barely-wake type of change….I mean I have to fully wake up….lift my body into the air…slowly reposition myself…wait for the baby to slide (this is what i see in my head….she slides) over to the new side followed by all the fluids and organs and what-have-yous, reposition the 25 pillows and then close my eyes…well, the large leggins don’t always go along for the ride and more times then not I was finding them down around my knees by the time I had resettled forcing me to start the process over again. So I had a thought….I searched around for these beauties and luckily…growing up in a small town like enumclaw…was able to find them for the killer price of $14.99 (actually my sweet brother picked them up for me) The best part….they have a flap…did i mention that i get up to go the bathroom at least twice if not more a night? I think i should start marketing them as “P.J.’s prego-jays”……This is me in them at around 32 weeks (can you believe…32 weeks!!!)….it is truly a sight to behold.
