Where are all the maternity clothes?

From the 4 clothing stores we have to choose from in this town, none of them sell maternity clothes anymore. Desperate for something to wear to church that I can fit into I scoured 3 of the stores yesterday for anything knee length or longer and elastic. Knowing there are no clothes specifically for the expectant mother I figured I'd be shopping in the old lady section, everything is elastic there right? WRONG! Not only is this town anti-pregnancy but apparently it's anti-normal-church-attending apparel too! Shopko had no skirts that I could find, Sears had a couple formal looking heavy black floor length things and some upper-thigh showing mini's, and Wal-Mart had 1 decent peasant style skirt that I might consider if the sizes offered weren't reduced to only Small and XXL. So again desperate, I headed for the fabric department of Wal-Mart picked out some fabric that hopefully will match an extra stretchy long shirt I had purchased at Sears that day, along with some wide elastic and decided to take matters in my own hands. I started the no-pattern skirt at 9:24pm Saturday night and finished at 12:10am this (Sunday) morning. Wore it to church today and loved it!

My new skirt and baby bump, getting bigger!

Black and White wedding cake

My most recent cake and first wedding cake. I would have changed many things about this cake, but it was a huge learning experience. A lot of little things went wrong along the way that I hopefully have learned from. Hope you like :)
Oh yea, it tasted awesome!
