Emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and last but not least- *my favorite*... physically!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">My story goes back 2 1/2 years ago, when I was pregnant with my first, my son Anthony.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Now, among the obvious aches, pains, and difficulties that pregnancy brings, one that really got me down was my ever-changing figure, and how to manage it before finally giving in to maternity clothing. (Jeans in particular!) </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">During my first month of my pregnancy, *I'll call this the "bloated" stage! :-), I was having a hard time feeling comfortable in my own skin. I truly felt like I was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">PMSing</span> for a very extended amount of time, and I was not liking the "Muffin top" that all my jeans were giving me! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">It was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">wayyy</span> too early to go shopping for maternity, so I figured I'd explore my options. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I still wanted to feel sexy while wearing the comfy denim material I've always enjoyed. So I went out hunting for pair of stretch jeans! At this time, Brazilian style stretch jeans where really getting popular, and all the girls who were wearing them looked great, no matter what body type! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">After an all day affair, I finally found the perfect pair for me! A light blue stretch denim, with a few diamond rhinestones on each back pocket. Simple, sexy, and cute! A definite boost for my self esteem at that time! And I rocked those jeans like they were going out of style! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">From that day forward, I considered these jeans "<em>my second skin</em>"! I couldn't believe it! Forget maternity jeans, these were great! I've always loved stretchy jeans, and these had become my favorite! They looked great with any top or shoes I paired them with! It was a dream come true!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I thought to myself "My butt still looks great, and my belly has plenty of room to grow!" And it was absolutely true! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I wore these jeans as often as possible, quite far into my pregnancy! They fit like a glove! The stretch material allowed me to move the waist of the jeans a little lower as needed to house my very rounding belly, along with my very rounding bum! =) </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">It was really hard to find similar styles that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">accommodated</span> my "baby bump", and nothing else looked, or felt the same. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I felt sexy and maternal at the same time! The ability to wear your favorite jeans while growing another life inside of you, it's getting the best of both worlds!~ :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">So after my son was born, you bet those were the jeans I was wearing while making trips to the store for formula and diapers, doctor's appointments, and everywhere in between. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Eventually I decided to let my jeans rest awhile, and I had found similar styles of jeans that I've worn while trying to be a Sexy and Groovy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mamacita</span>!! They were my favorites, and it was best if I found a different pair that I wouldn't mind having baby puke on every now and then. :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">So low and behold, over 2 years later, and I am now pregnant with my second! </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Can you guess which jeans I'm wearing?! :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Pregnancy is a very humbling journey, filled with many ups and downs, and self esteem is very important when your emotions are all over the place. It's important to find something that makes you feel good, and stick with it! *in my case, it definitely was my jeans* :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">It would be my pleasure to shop on </span><a href="http://groovyjeans.com/"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">GroovyJeans</span>.com</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> with my daughter Elena, because every girl deserves to feel sexy and comfortable <em>in her own skin</em>, with the help from a GREAT pair of jeans!!!
