My miracle pants...

Today is my baby girl's 4th birthday and this morning I searched through my wardrobe searching for a pair of 3/4 pants to wear...and was excited to find that everything was too big!! YAY!!

So hubby pulled out my miracle pants...threw them to me and said "Here, try these on."

Now let me explain a little about my miracle pants. I was only just thinking of these pants yesterday and was upset as I thought they had been thrown out. You see, thesemiracle pants have not fit me in 5 years...but I kept them, as encouragement to keep going...but earlier this year, looking at them made me depressed, as I couldn't even pull them up past my knees and it would take a miracle to be able to fit into them again...

...hence the name miracle pants.

Well, I thought hubby had tossed them out, as he knew how upset I was the last time I saw them...but in fact he had hidden them...waiting for the perfect opportunity to reunite us.

"Here, try these on."

I looked at him, a little stunned as I realised my miracle pants were still in the house...and a little smile crept onto my face...

Should I?

Do you think?

I pulled them up...past my knees...past my thighs...and what do you know?...

THEY FIT!

A huge smile broke out on my face as I realised my miracle pants were on! I did a happy dance and was so excited!

You couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day and I loved being back in them. They felt great on...and they are a SIZE 10!

So in the end, it didn't take a miracle to fit back into my miracle pants...

...it just took a lot of focus, determination and hard work!
