Maternity shorts
Yes, it is official, I'm pregnant. Having a short torso and really long legs, I'm already having issues finding maternity clothes. For the most part, maternity tops just don't come in petite. This isn't a really big deal as I am compensating by wearing tank tops underneath so that when the maternity top inevitably slides off my shoulder, at least I'm not baring my entire shoulder and chest! Obviously, some styles just work better than others. I've also managed to find jeans, which is good because I live in jeans when I'm in the lab. The piece of clothing I'm having issues with is maternity shorts. In lovely Mississippi, the only maternity shorts I can find are Daisy Dukes. Really? Who thought THAT was a good idea? Then again, most of the pregnant women I've met around here are a good 10-15 years younger than me (Mississippi has a HUGE teenage pregnancy problem, probably due to the fact that they outlawed sex ed in schools). So maybe Daisy Duke maternity shorts make sense to the teenage crowd? In any case, I've been able to order a single pair of mid-length shorts online (only had one pair in my size). So it looks like I'll be wearing those and an old pair of DH's workout shorts from the Navy this summer....

I wore a lot sweats while pregnant. Granted, when I went out in public I did put on maternity jeans. But at home, it was sweats all the way.
You were further North when pregnant, weren't you? :)
This Northern girl can't take the heat of MS summers! Last summer, the temp didn't fall below 90 the entire MONTH of July. Not once - not even at 3AM!
If the shorts I just ordered in Amazon don't fit or are super short, I'm seriously considering buying maternity pants and just cutting them off for shorts.
