Well hello there! Look who got dressed up again. ha! I'm in love with this stretchy jersey dress that I found in TJMaxx recently. I have three weddings to go to and bridal shower before my due date and I have lost all hope at finding something pretty to wear. Then, I found this dress! It literally makes me feel like a million bucks and that's a great thing when you are 33 weeks pregnant. If you are on look out for a great maternity dress (that will double as non maternity once you have the baby) hit up your TJMaxx - I love their selection and constant new inventory. Thank you for stopping by!
Welcome to June people! Can you believe it? We are in the 6th month, half way through the year already. I feel like time is slipping through my fingers and right now it's busier than ever. At 32 weeks pregnant, I have to admit I'm not ready for this baby to arrive just yet. In fact, I don't have a single pink thing. Gasp. Starting with blogging, working, my side business, and all the personal engagements I have a packed schedule. Between now and my due date we have three weddings to go to and that's some busy social life we have. I'm not complaining but sometimes I feel like life is passing me by too fast. Do you ever get that feeling?
Hope you have a great week!
I can't believe I'm already so far along but it's here! So for those interested in how things are going, here's a little update.
How Far Along: (almost) 32 weeks Total Weight Gain: 14 lbs
Gender: it's a girl (for sure!)
Maternity Clothes: whoever invented jeans with stretchy waist band should be awarded a Nobel peace prize. Nobel because it's freaking genius and peace because it keeps the peace in our house as I actually have something to wear.
Sleep: It's getting uncomfortable! I don't like the body pillow for some reason - it's huge and I feel like it takes up more space than helps me. I constantly wake up and have to go tinkle. Yay for the beginning of sleepless nights! Miss Anything: a glass of wine, fitting into normal clothes and not feeling like an elephant Cravings: my first pregnancy I wasn't really craving anything but this time around it's two things - apple juice and smoked salmon. I could drink apple juice all day long if it didn't have so much sugar in it and eat salmon for breakfast lunch and dinner. Symptoms: I'm carrying much lower this time, by how my clothes fit and not sure if that's a second baby or post C-section thing. Definitely feel more tired and back to napping every day. Also I have a ton of Braxton-Hicks contractions (at least 5-10 a day) and hope that's a good thing Belly Button/Body Changes:Belly button popped and that's something new. My butt hasn't gained any weight as I can fit into my normal size 6 for the bottoms - yay me! Mood: I think I'm doing OK with mood swings but anything sweet or touchy gets me emotional. I almost teared up when hubby washed the floors without me asking. Yeah, hormones are going nuts! Best Moment This Week:My favorite is when Jonathan kisses the baby as we lounge in bed in the morning - he is so sweet about it! Looking Forward to: enjoying the next few weeks as a mom of one and spending some quality time with Jonathan. I will definitely miss it when she arrives but I'm sure it will be a good kind of different. Exercise: I picked up walking three times a week (about 2 miles). It's getting harder and harder to push the stroller up the hill but I'm determined to stick to it. No pain, no gain right? Especially because I do not want to be late again, although I'm praying God will give me patience either way. On My Mind: during my last pregnancy I gained the most weight last couple of weeks. At this point I'm super cautious about what I eat and try not to give myself any excuses to indulge. Also, I have a lot of weddings and events to go to so that keeps me motivated to look good. Oh and you know, putting pictures of yourself on the internet kind of helps the matter as well. ha!
I'm praying for an easy delivery that's on time and no C-section. I know Lord has it in His hands but I also know that I need courage. I've been back and forth with the VBAC thing and I'm kind of scared to go for it. Besides having that worry, I think this pregnancy has been going extremely smooth and I'm so thankful for it.
I think at this point my style posts will have to slow way down. One I don't have much to show as I'm wearing the same things over and over again. Two, I don't want to buy more clothes that will only fit for a few weeks. Three, we have hit the 32 week mark and it's becoming increasingly hard to find something to wear beside my maternity shorts and tee. Hope you are enjoying the short week! Thank you for stopping by
After I post this dress on Instagram, I haven't had a chance to photograph it. I have been wearing it a lot and just can't stop. It's super comfortable, it hides the imperfections (hello expanding bottom) and keeps you cool at the same time. I couldn't find exact one so I linked up a lot of similar options. We HAD gorgeous weather all last week into the weekend and now it's looking like it's time to take out those winter boots. Hope you are enjoying the weather while it lasts!
Some glam for your hump day morning with this outfit. If you have been following me any amount of time, you may have noticed that I'm obsessed with everything Kate Spade. Yes, I would totally wear Kate Spade head to toe if I could. So, as a loyal customer, I'm letting you know that they are having a HUGE Surprise Sale (75% off!!!) which is going to last only another 2 days. Get your shopping on ladies because it looks like a good one! I want a bright red bag and can't decided between this one or this one. Help a girl out please.
