I've been doing a lot of my "maternity" shopping at Forever 21. I posted about it here a few weeks ago but went back for more last week and thought I'd update you! It's seriously the best place to buy bump friendly dresses. I typically go a size up and they're still fitting me at 37 weeks. Here's a little rundown of what I've bought recently.
I’ve officially reached the point in this pregnancy where unless it’s absolutely necessary I’m not going to wear pants/jeans. Leggings or dresses from here on out. I was so excited to get this pretty blue floral maxi in from Gal Meets Glam that I wore it out to dinner Saturday night. What you can’t see from these photos is that is was maybe 59 degrees and super windy. I don’t know what was blowing around more, my hair or my pregnancy double chin. But I was committed to my dress only cause and tried to think warm thoughts.
As of today I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I kind of can't believe it! Crosby was born at 38 weeks and 3 days and that's just so soon! I'm not feeling "ready," but doubt I ever will. I am ready to not be pregnant anymore though!
wardrobe details
Over the weekend I was feeling so blah and uninspired with the current rotation of things that fit me. I decided to shop my closet, if you will, and put together this look with pieces that are all a couple of years old. Sometimes I think I have these pregnancy wardrobe delusions where I put something on thinking it will still fit the way it did a few months/weeks/days ago and then get frustrated when that's not the case. So I went back to some old faithfuls that worked my first pregnancy and was happy and comfortable all day.

I've been getting a lot of questions about baby shower dress inspiration and thought it would make for a fun blog post. Early on in my pregnancy I decided I wasn't having a shower this time around. I was pregnant with Crosby exactly two years ago and was blessed with two beautiful showers for her. We have a lot we can reuse on baby boy and I'm often sent new products to try out. There's really no need for another shower.
