Maternity Pants

Today I bought my first pair of maternity pants.  I was surprised to learn that they come in sizes small/medium/large.  What really threw me off was that it says to buy the same size you wore before you got pregnant...well my jeans have a number, not a letter. Needless to say, I wasn't convinced these pants were going to look good.  To my delight, the first pair of jeans I tried on actually looked good (other than the maternity waistband).  And...they were on sale!  Most importantly, I actually look pregnant in these pants and not just fat :)  Now I am looking forward to shopping for more maternity clothes with my mom this coming weekend.
