I have discovered the secret!

After trying on all of Nikki's maternity clothes, I have finally discovered the secret to "looking pregnant." Clearly the secret is wearing those big, poochy maternity pants with the full belly. (I have a couple of pairs of maternity pants, but because I am vain they are "no panel" or "small panel" or whatever.) I put all of those stretchy, poochy pants on and HOLY CRAP, I look like I have a gigantic belly. Add a shirt that widens after the boobs, and PRESTO!

So THAT'S how they do it!

I still don't feel like I'm big enough to warrant some of those clothes (and most of the shirts are short-sleeved which will come in handy later), but woah, for a moment there I considered walking around (freezing) in one of those outfits going, "HA HA HA."

Encyclopedia Brown strikes again!
