I should have bought 12 pairs.
I bought them when I lived out in moved home from Provo. I'd lost quite a bit of weight and so I went to The Buckle and picked up a pair of Big Star's that look a lot like these:
They are just a straight leg, low rise jean. Nothing too special. Sometimes I think that I should have gone to a different store and bought a more reasonable priced pair. However, then I remember how magical these are, and I'm just not sure that a cheaper pair would have grown and shrunk with me!
Now remember-I've just bought this pair of jeans after losing a bit of weight. Keep this in mind. It is important.
I am currently 27.5 weeks pregnant. I've gained a ton of weight at this point. I can't tell you how much because once I hit about the 25 pound mark pretty early on, I stopped looking at the scale at my doctor's appointments. I just know it is more than 25 pounds and I'm still eating :) ha ha! Anyway....much bigger now than when I bought these pants.
But that doesn't matter because these pants are magical! I'd worn these pants around the 20 week mark, but I haven't put them on lately because I didn't want to depress myself. That has all changed today. I was getting ready for work, and I thought about how much I missed my special pair of jeans and I decided that I would just try them on. Ya know. Just to see.
They slipped on with ease!!! I couldn't believe it! I have to use a rubber band to do up the button, but that is nothing new. And this is why I think my pants are magical. :)
Next pregnancy item: Leg Cramps
I've gotten a few little cramps in my hip flexors and a couple itsy bitsy cramps in my calves. I had counted myself lucky and not thought about them too much. Until this morning. At about 5:30 a.m. I got a leg cramp in my right calf that was possibly the worst of my life. And I've had a few big ones before. Dancing ballet would stress my calf muscles enough that sometimes they would just cramp up and freak out.
This was worst.
I couldn't get it to stop! I wriggled around in pain, trying to get it to loosen. I couldn't even flex my foot! It was just cramped up in the pointed position and no amount of determination could get it to stop! I bet it stayed like that for a full 30 seconds. I know this doesn't sound like much, but it is longer when it is happeneing to you. I accidentally woke Ryan up during this whole process and he volunteered to rub it out, but I was freaking out too much to let him.
After what seemed like an eternity it loosened up and I was able to flex my foot. However, now my calf muscles are so sore that I can't harldy walk on them. And don't even get me started about going up and down stairs.

(i want to brag just cause of your last post that i have an awesome collection of maternity clothes thanks to yard sales/craigslist/DI/clearance racks. there is no way i could afford what i had if i were buying new....it's a game to me!)

o hey (this is getting long but i have to add one more thing) guess who i ran into yesterday? landon eldregde lives here in cedar too....he and his wife work at the temple on saturdays and we saw him. i havn't seen him since 5th grade.
Okay. Leg cramps are awful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I had a bad one in the middle of the night and Slice thought I was in labor, I was making so much noise. I hate those things. Ugh.
I remember those! I'm sorry they are bad news! I found drinking milk every day kept them away for me. My sil also recommended bananas! The first time I got them I was delusional at night and couldn't figure out what happened to my calf the next day! Good luck dear!
