I got some new post-baby jeans – but they had to be maternity due to Irish Twin #2′s future arrival. BUT they are so much better than my maternity jeans from last year, in that they are A SIZE SMALLER! Woot! Sure, there’s no zipper, but a new pair of jeans is like a whole makeover!

This is such a great idea! With baby #3, the weight just WAS NOT coming off like it had for the twins. I went to Old Navy at about month 4 and got some ‘interim’ jeans…perfect description!
Good news is that the old jeans fit again:)

@Manda, just do it. Don’t splurge on the new fancy jeans, just buy a pair from Old Navy or H&M and zip your pants for a change. You can do it!

I’m going to have to put off this challenge for a couple of weeks but I love it. I’ve been living in yoga pants after the first 5months postpartum. Its time to attempt jeans. And stop trying on all of my old jeans and becoming a sobbing mess on the floor when I can’t get them over my bum, LOL.

I listened to this challenge as I was returning to work, and used the Macy’s giftcard my coworkers gave me to treat myself to a pair of Lucky jeans. Best purchase I ever made. I still feel fabulous every time I put them on!

What a great blog – I’m glad I found you! I have a feeling these tidbits are going to come in really handy in another 4-6 weeks.

Can you believe I did this just 3 days before your post? I got the Old Navy Sweetheart jeans and it looks like they’ve embraced vanity sizing. I was able to buy a size 8…with a gut that might get strangers asking me if #3 is on her way.

They’ve also got some cute trapeze tops that are very forgiving of tummy bulge.

I whole heartedly agree with this one. I bought some “post-pregnancy” jeans after the birth of my first. It is such a self-esteem booster to not have your gut spilling out of your pants. You will feel less fat wearing jeans that fit well to your current body shape.
