I was in Target yesterday and went to look at some dresses. I LOVE wearing dresses and am looking forward to wearing more now I have had plastics.

I headed to the regular sizes (not plus sizes) and picked out an XXL and XL, and headed to the dressing room. For kicks, I decided to try on the XL first and realised it was a bit loose so snuck out to the rack and got an L. I figured it would be too tight but was interested on seeing if I might fit in it soon....well, gosh darn it, the L fit. A large from the regular sizes!!! I changed back to my clothes and ran, well, hobbled to find my DH, by the time I got to him, I was crying...

This is such an amazing wow moment for me and I am sure you get how significant this is for me.

And she doesn't know it, but this is all because of a conversation on clothing sizes that Linda and I had on Saturday, so thank you Linda!

That IS exciting! Nothing like having to find a smaller size when you're shopping. Can't beat that! Congrats!

Hey there,

Wow!! What a wow moment.

Now that I am pregnant I get a so confused on what size clothes I should be buying. The books I have been reading say to buy clothes you would normaly fit into. Well I thought I was still a large so I grabbed a large to try on, but I also grabbed a medium just to see what if. Well, I was completly taken back when I was able to comfortably fit into the medium without them being to tight. They where actually perfect.

Congratulations!!!

I hope to see ya at WSP coffee this weekend.
