9w+5 - jeans don't do up any more

I've just admitted to myself that as of today I officially can no longer do up my jeans and still feel even vaguely comfortable.  I've been doing the whole elastic band around the buttons thing but now the zip is feel restrictive.  It's just okay if I'm standing up, but sitting down is a whole different story!  So the belly band is getting used for the first time today.
