Week 21: I Love Liz Lange

Some women develop infatuation for their OB during pregnancy, I, however, am smitten with Liz Lange, the maternity clothes designer for Target. Besides, I just had to switch obstetricians and my new one smells like cheap cologne. Liz understands me and I never realized it as much as I did yesterday.

Equipped with a coupon, I flipped through the racks of Liz’s handiwork. The department was disastrous, but I do not blame Liz for that. How could I? An hour and two trips to the dressing room later, I was out of the store with two new pairs of pants and a tank top.

Friends of mine who were pregnant several years before me have told me war stories of the maternity clothes that were available to them. It is so sad that they did not have Liz, because yesterday I felt like I was dressing myself in my typical style. There were not muumuus to decide between, but slim fitting dress pants, minus the zipper and button waist. Liz knows. This is a great thing about her line: her pants are not sized only Small, Medium and Large, like in some other stores; she labels her pants with the size you were before pregnancy! This morning, as I put on my new pants I thought about kind it was of Liz to allow a woman who has gained ten pounds and lost her waist line to sport a pair of pants with a size 4 label. Its like a secret between friends, she knows that’s just what I needed.
