I've got three kids, the youngest being just 1 year old and these are the best fitting jeans I've purchased post kids.  I really appreciate that they have a higher waist that seems to hold everything in and prevents the muffin top feeling.  At 5' 9," the 29 L is the perfect length too.  I also like that they do not lose their shape after several wears.  I think this is my new 'it' jean.
