I have been in search of the perfect pair of maternity tights.  I want the thick knitted ones, not just thick nylons.  I know it has been 3 ½ years since I was last pregnant, has it really been that long?  I have been sorely disappointed at the maternity sections in the stores.  A few big name department stores didn’t even have one.  One had the tiny section that was as big as both of my couches scooted together.  We have been having problems with our internet lately so going online wasn’t really an option.  Is maternity wear not very profitable for these big guys?  I remember with my last baby, I had no problems finding anything maternity related.  I just went online and one huge department store brings up a big ‘ol 0 items found when I typed in maternity as the keyword.  WHAT?!  I thought this was an up and coming industry.  I thought the demand for stylin’ maternity wear was increasing.  It seems the only place to really get clothes is online.  That’s okay most of the times, but what happens when you need something and your local Motherhood Maternity is a ways away?  You look up the local boutiques, but they are usually a little spendier and you don’t want an investment piece.  What’s a mama with a belly to do?  I wish I could give you a magic answer; however, I am still trying to figure that one out.  I still want my tights; however think I may have to settle for just thicker pantyhose.  Besides whipping out the sewing machine (for tights, I’m not sure if that is even an option) and fighting off my kids, do you have any suggestions?
