More on jeans (not genes)

Some of you regular readers may remember my rant on maternity jeans.

Well, it appears I spoke too soon. I am happy to report that I am wearing my Paige Premium Denims today and they have been staying well above my knees for the past few hours.

How did this happen? Well, I don’t think my growing belly had much to do with it. I have my friend (and blogreader) Emily V. to thank. Emily reminded me of a product I bought earlier on in my pregnancy but had since lost track of. I don’t know where I’d be without it today. Oh wait, yes I do, working out of my car because my pants were falling down and I was too embarrassed to step into the office.

My secret is The Bella Band. It’s an elastic piece of fabric that I can put around my belly and waist, over my jeans, to help keep them in place. They still sag a little bit but this is a huge improvement! According to the Ingrid&Isabel website, the Bella Band has a whole bunch of uses throughout pregnancy so I am very happy to have rediscovered it. Thanks Emily!
