I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant and every day I think it could be my last day before baby boy is born. Not that I'm feeling 100% ready... but do you ever? I've also officially made it longer in this pregnancy than I did in my pregnancy with Crosby, as she was born at 38 weeks and 3 days! So wild to think about. I'll definitely be trying to take advantage of this weekend in case it's our last weekend as a family of 3!
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.
Once you get to a certain point, a really hard part of pregnancy is getting dressed. I'm not the biggest fan of maternity clothes and try my hardest to wear my pre-pregnancy stuff as much as possible. Of course some things are no longer an option, like my fav high-waisted Levis with tops tucked in. But I did have a few pairs of jeans that were still (somehow) fitting... until recently. After the first of the year nothing was comfortable anymore. Enter the Bellaband. Now I can wear my favorite stretchy jeans un-zipped and un-buttoned and NO ONE has to know.
