As I waddle glide into my third trimester with bowling ball baby boy #5, I have developed an obsession. This obsession hits me with every pregnancy. Can you guess what it is? Taco Bell? Irrational fears? Epidurals not working? Giving birth in my suburban? Ok, I do have all of those. But that isn't what we'll worry about today.
Today is Fight the Frump with Fussy so I'll keep it on topic. My latest obsession is having a waistline again. Belts, glorious belts and the idea tucking in shirts gets me all dreamy eyed these days. Y'all saw how gigantic my belly was two weeks ago!
Look at what I stumbled across today, Tummy Tuck Jeans!
Can it be? Oh great day in the mornin'! They hide, they lift, they fold laundry. Ok, not the laundry part, but a gal can dream.
oooh, ahhh 
I found them at Nordstorm for $95-$130. I have never spent that amount on jeans in my life. I'm saving my mad-money as of right. this. moment.
At this rate, I can buy some in mid 2009!
Something tells me that they will be worth every penny!

OMGOSH I'm first! That's a first! ;)
Since having my third I've been dreaming of waistlines as well. He's 4 now.
Maybe I should look into some tummy tuck jeans, too.

One size smaller?
You and I both are going thru the Last Trimester blues. I fantasize about clothes like this all day long.

Mne's up! It's all about the "pressure" many women feel to NOT fight the frump. It's probably regional, but around here there are way more fumps than non-fumps!

Sorry I did it again. I left my name with no topic. Over at my place we are talking about LBD's. If you don't know what that is come on and find out.

I've tried the tummy tuck jeans. Unfortunately, they look kind of, well, FRUMPY. The wash of the denim and cut is kind of matronly. :-(

Magic pants. Awesome... Just remember, no one is pregnant forever! Hang in there!

I am running through a field of daisies holding out my arms to those capris.
I once again didn't follow directions and add my title...it is just too much for my brain to handle.
So glad it is Friday, Fussy!

You're too cute. I had to link twice, because I forgot my topic. Sorry.
I know people who have those jeans and swear by them. I think I would faint if I spent that much on jeans, but it's very very tempting. Especially when paired with your talents. You are so persuasive!
I finally managed a frump day! Aren't you proud?

I have third-trimester blues and I adopted my boys! I guess that makes fourth and fifth trimester blues,... eh?
I'm truly dealing with frumpiness here in Ohio. We live in the middle of nowhere and, honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought something new (we got three boys in three years, all newborns... crazy).
Your site cracks me up and it's nice to read about Tenn life since two of my boys were born in Memphis.

What fabulous jeans!! My post is about jeans too! I'm not copying you...I swear!
I am getting a expensive pair of jeans once I lose this weight that is dragging me down.
Now sure when that will be.....
Have a great week!

I must have those jeans! Think hubby will mind if I spend the grocery money on them?;) I mean I can't wait to save up my mad money, I need them now. I spent my mad money on some new undies that I desperately needed!
Posted by: justmylife | March 07, 2008 at 08:46 AM
Whew! Just completely my first fight the frump friday...hope I got al the bases covered. :)
Posted by: Darla | March 07, 2008 at 09:30 AM
Can I possibly dream of wearing shirts tucked in and belts again? I can't see beyond my ever expanding stomach to believe it. Thanks for the hope.

fighting the frump today!
Posted by: jill | March 07, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Just wanted to leave my comment. I'll do a post about fighting the frump on my blog. ;)
Posted by: Marnie | March 07, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Oh! I love those jeans! I think I'll have to start saving now, too!
Posted by: Melody | March 07, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Oh, I can so relate. I even bought a few non-maternity things while I was pregnant. I couldn't help myself. I've got a ways to go before I look decent in those fitted yoga pants. But, this baby girl is worth it!
Those jeans look great by the way.
Posted by: fullheartandhands mama | March 07, 2008 at 03:05 PM
I'm so low waisted from the looks of them, I'd get a boob tuck instead. That would be too much like Urkel pants for me. I'm sure you'll look Fab in them when the time comes. Expecially with a muffin top!
Sorry couldn't fight the frump with ya this week Fussy. I'm still getting over the flu. With greasy hair and a nice fat lip with a blister from such a high fever, I look like some crack addict. Not a great position for advicing anyone.

I did some stumbling this week and found some great advice on working with what you've got!
Posted by: Alicia | March 07, 2008 at 04:12 PM
sorry fussy, I had to link again, because i put up the second(updated) part of my frump fighter's post.
Posted by: Mackenzie's Momma | March 07, 2008 at 04:38 PM
If I can find a pair of jeans that pull my stretch marks together and hold that extra skin tight it would truly be a miracle.
Posted by: karen | March 07, 2008 at 07:30 PM
Fussy, I hear ya got a slammin' maternity T-shirt that makes them pants look mad cool. Ya need to show it off, stop hoardin' the secret! :) I got mad love for women, and what ya go through in pregnancy. Hang in there, keep fightin' the frump, you'll see ya waistline soon enough! and good God, let's hope ya don't have #5 in ya Suburban! Peace

No need to save up your pennies! Get the same pants for a 1/3 of the cost. Snap them up now they won't be around at the end of the summer when you want them!!
