This is the second time I’ve been pregnant around the holidays and it’s interesting. In some ways it’s really great, like indulging in all the yummy food that’s around this time of year. Wearing all the cozy layers – sweaters, jackets, etc. But it comes with challenges too… always being the designated driver and trying to figure out what to wear to a holiday party when all you want is to sit on your couch in your PJ’s. I think I found the answer to the what to wear part. This velour jumpsuit is just as comfortable as pajamas, but looks super chic. It’s not maternity, but definitely has enough give to work with a bump. Perfect for pregs AND regs.

I went with my regular size in the jumpsuit – it has a lot of give. This is what I put together to wear to a holiday party last weekend. At first I was a little stumped on getting dressed but ended up loving how it came together.

I shied away from jumpsuits my last pregnancy but I’m not sure why. If you find the right one they’re pretty much the most comfortable thing and can be really flattering with a bump. This one from Sanctuary is supposed to be slightly cropped, but I’m on the shorter side so it’s longer on me. I paired it with 3 inch heels so it wouldn’t drag and that was the only uncomfortable part. Heels and pregnancy just aren’t my thing… I’m hoping to avoid them as much as possible the next few months.

I got this faux fur jacket from Morning Lavender awhile back and have been waiting for a reason to wear it. Not that I needed a reason, but I was saving it for something fun. It was the perfect topper for this outfit and kept me warm all night.

Thanks for reading – I hope you have a great day!

As you may have read in my ‘A New Mom’s Favorite Gadgets’ post, “Roomby” the Roomba has recently become the fifth member of our family.  

In the later months of my pregnancy, a few complications had me both tired and being careful about how much I did around the house. This was perfect timing to team up with iRobot around their Roomba 980 vacuum!

Recently a lot of you have been asking me what my favorite items are for baby or pregnancy.  There are so many amazing things I’ve come to rely on that it would be impossible for me to choose a favorite… but I’m sure some of them are very far from what you’d think. 

In the last weeks (if I’m honest, months) of my pregnancy, even some of the simplest tasks and chores around the house became noticeably more difficult. Of course some of those are even harder now that Crosby’s here!  So I wanted to highlight a few items that have specifically made our lives easier in the recent months and that Jeff and I have come to appreciate SO much. 

I’ll try to give more detail on these in future posts but here are just a few…

The Roomba by iRobot

Happy Monday! It’s been a crazy few weeks over here adjusting to our new addition. With each day that passes it feels like we’re starting to get into more of a routine and everything gets a little easier… except the lack of sleep – but that’s to be expected. We were even able to get out in public as a family this weekend, it was a success because Crosby slept through the whole outing. 🙂

One of my favorite parts of being pregnant was dressing my bump, especially as it got bigger! I really embraced tight stretchy dresses and tops – both things I don’t normally wear. Now that I’m not pregnant I find myself missing the bump a bit and wanted to share a few of my favorite pregnancy outfits.
