28 weeks pregnant: "Funny, short pants"

So Nest by Swanky makes these black gauchos that I've started wearing, that Maggie Gyllenhaal is apparently also wearing this pregnancy. They have to be one of the most comfortable pair of pants I own these days, which means I'm in them a lot. (I've now retired the "these are so uncomfortable but I'll wear them anyway because they are cute" capris, as yeah, I now have a baby playing drums on my bladder and the stretch-factor is key.)

I was wearing the gauchos the other day at the grocery store when I was in line at the deli with my 2 1/2 year old son. My son (who hasn't made it a habit of commenting on my wardrobe in the past), turned to the 20-something college-guy standing in line next to me and out of the blue remarks, "My Mommy's wearing funny, short pants." College Guy looked flustered and gave met he half-smile and I had to laugh. And of course the future comment potential on these pants won't stop me from wearing them as they are ultra-hip as well.

Nest by Swanky (formerly Maternitee by Swanky) also makes some fun-loving tees with cute sayings on them. Check out their Maternitee by Swanky website to see their entire t-shirt selection. If their gauchos can cause such a conversation out in public, I can only imagine what the tees would invoke.

The gauchos can be found on both sites, the t-shirts only on the Maternitee site. Use coupon code MWS20 for 20% off on either site. Additional celebrity siting: Ming-Na from ER and Dana Devon from Extra have worn Maternitee's in the past.
