Pregnancy Bathing Suits

So, two weekends ago I went to Target with my family to go bathing suit shopping. I was obsessing over bathing suits and had convinced myself that I wanted to try on "regular" ones, and maybe even a bikini, because I generally feel beautiful in my new body.

Not so much anymore...

The bathing suit top I bought.
(Target)

I picked out some plain ones that I would have normally picked out to fit my (huge) butt and growing boobs. I took about 4 tops and 3 bottoms into the dressing room with me (along with my sister, who's 16-today! Happy Birthday Liv!). I tried the first top and bottoms on, and looked in Target's wonderful mirrors, and just had to laugh. My sister didn't laugh. Instead, being the bitch she is, she said I looked "disgusting" and that my back rolls were popping out of the suit. Thanks Liv.

It was already apparent to me that I did not look good- I'm not blind. But it made me feel really bad about it, so ever since I just feel not as sexy as I did before. I ended up trying on a maternity tankini top, which actually looked really good. I guess I was just hoping I wouldn't have to buy one of those until my next pregnancy, when I'm older. The whole idea behind it just freaked me out, not to mention the price tag on the top alone made me unable to buy any bottoms! I think I'll just buy regular, boy-short bottoms... Unfortunately they didn't have an XL in store.... -__-

The bathing suit from ON.

I was just browsing on OldNavy.com, and I came across this cute one-piece suit that I really like, too. It's just as much as my top from Target! I want to order it, but I'm always so skeptical about ordering online. Good thing for ON customer reviews, though. It seems like it would be a good buy. I'm going to start writing reviews for everything I buy, too, especially maternity clothes, because it really helps.

I should be writing one of the many papers I need to finish for these next few weeks that are left of school. This year flew by soo fast- thank God. I hate college. I like the school part, but I hate everything about living with other college kids, eating with them, and just... almost everything. Maybe it's just this school, but I doubt it. I can't wait to get home in a few weeks.

It just goes to show you that the grass isn't always greener somewhere else. Going away definitely gives one an appreciation for where they're from, so I don't regret going away at all, but I can't wait to get back! If the sidewalks in Auburn weren't so grimy, I'd kiss them when I get home.
