We don't use superlatives lightly here at One Hot Mama. Because I, Roxanne, am the head buyer and resident pregnant or nursing woman, I try on every single thing we sell (not each individual garment -- that would be gross I mean, I try on the sample before ordering to see if I like it).

Frankly, sometimes I make a mistake, or the item comes in and it's not something I have to have in my closet. Well this time, I picked a winner. Here's why -- unless your job is in big-city banking, chances are, you spend a fair amount of your day dressed pretty casual. For me, that often means jeans. The first clue I was pregnant with Lila was my inability to button my favourite pair. Now that I'm pregnant again, I am just about to hit that crucial mark where my old clothes don't work without a rubber band, and traditional maternity clothes are way too big.

That's why these Rebel jeans are perfect. They're under the belly, AND they come with adjustable elastic inside the waistband, so it doesn't look like you're wearing toddler pants. There's an actual button and zipper, and functional pockets! So if your shirt's a little short, none of that weird panel fabric shows. Of course, the stretch denim is a great current colour, and they're boot cut. But the miracle is that I can start wearing them today, at only 12 weeks, and they'll take me all the way home to that day we all dream of, when the baby is holding her head up, and I can fit back into my old jeans.
