Early 8 month pictures!

Since I'm getting ready to be in the Hamptons the rest of the summer, I figured I would take my 8 month pictures a little early and post them while I'm home.  I also took some extra pictures that were NOT these lovely black shorts & tank top!  I'm sure you're all as sick of it as I am!  I'm slowly trying to get out of my all black wardrobe and wearing a little color!  I take pictures of the kids all the time, but always make sure I'm not in them.  So you'll have to suffer with me posing in my bedroom!

 These are my size 24 "fat pants"!  They are the biggest pants I had and the only pair I have kept.  Everything else has been purged.  I put these on a few weeks ago in one of my cleaning binges and couldn't believe how big they were!  I've tried them on for a few friends and family members and none of them could hide their shock!  What a great feeling! They felt bad when their jaw hit the floor, but I loved the reactions! I can almost get both legs in one pant leg!  Give me another couple months!

So, from size 24....to my first size 14 in as long as I can remember!  I went this week with my sister trying to find a good pair of white pants for the summer.  I kept ordering online, but always getting size 16 & 18.  None of them were fitting.  I went to the store and thought, "what the heck, let me just TRY a 14."  Almost passed out when the first of all, went over my hips, and then secondly, when they zipped and they weren't too tight!



My favorite SKINNY jeans!  I was always against skinny jeans....and now these are the only jeans I wear!   Go figure!  They are the Rock Star Jeggings from Old Navy.  I absolutely love them.  And they're so cheap I don't care that I may only wear them a few weeks/months before I get rid of them.  At one point they were on sale for like $20 (reg $40) so I bought blue & black in the next 2 sizes down!!!  I have gotten many compliments on them.  Was VERY hesitant at first, but I said what the heck!

I'll be reading everyone's blogs in the Hamptons, but probably not a lot of time to respond.  But definitely reading!!!
