New Shorts

I think that I will forever spend the duration of my active life looking for the 'perfect' pair of black shorts. It may seem like an easy task, but there are a lot of consideration to think about: the material (cotton, dri-fit, etc.), length (3-4" inseam is the best), how they hang vs. being too tight, how bulky they look, how easily they show panties. That is a lot to evaluate a simple pair of shorts on.

Case in point: since I am pregnant, my regular Soffe shorts are not fitting just right. The are too tight on my legs and do not seem long enough (with all the varicose veins that I have going). I asked John to take me shopping for some new shorts this weekend. We finally went this afternoon to Academy. It was all good and fine as I collected 12 pairs of shorts. I think I had every brand: UnderArmour, adidas, Bcg, Nike, Russel Athletic and Soffe. I thought for sure I would have 4-5 that turned out and that I would get to choose. Nope! I only had one pair that fit. Can you believe that? I was so disgruntled. Surely my body is not THAT different! John was so kind, he suggested that we get 3 pair of the same kind of shorts that fit.

I have to hand it to John, he has been pretty understanding throughout this pregnancy. He does not mind carrying things for me, picking up stuff because I do not want to squish my belly, putting the body pillow in the perfect spot when he goes to bed before me and so much more. I could not ask for a more compassionate husband!
