WIWW: Preggo Edition

It's been awhile since I posted for WIWW, so I thought I'd dust off a few of the pictures over the last month and show off the growing bump :).

Dressing is getting harder -- just out grew another pair of pants, and down to one pair of actual work pants. I was really hoping to make it the last 8.5 wks without buying more maternity clothes, but I'm sure my work peeps would appreciate me wearing more than just the same brown pants to every meeting. Thinking of selling a few things to Clothes Mentor, and seeing what "gently used" maternity clothes they have. Sometimes those kinds of places aren't worth the trip, but it might be to save a few bucks!

WIWW: Preggo Edition

My wardrobe's quickly becoming obsolete, so I attempted to go shopping for some maternity clothes. I'm just going to throw this out there: if any of you talented ladies are into clothing design, please design a maternity line that's stylish, comfy, affordable, and made from materials that will hold up longer than one wash! Seriously, I went to SEVERAL stores and, after picking up a couple of maternity things, ended up at Target buying "normal" clothes in bigger sizes. I figured at least that way I'd get more use out of it after baby, too.

Anyhoo, that's my rant for the day ... hopefully :). As for WIWW, I don't have many photos to share. I think it was a combo of wearing a TON of sweats this week and being too much in a rush to take a photo of anything else. And I still need to Windex that mirror...

WIWW: Preggo Edition

Another preggo edition of What I Wore Wednesdays! I can't believe I'm now halfway through this pregnancy -- seems like the time has FLOWN by. Though, I kind of think people who say they "love being pregnant" are crazy. While I've been pretty lucky compared to some of my friends, the whole constantly aching belly and getting up five times a night to pee thing is really wearing on me. Not to mention the fact I get winded going up the stairs at my house, the headaches, forgetting just about everything (even to lock the house when I leave!), heat rash and the like.

Don't get me wrong, it's allll worth the {precious} end result -- but, seriously? I'm soo glad humans don't have the same gestation periods as, say, African elephants. (I'll save you the Google -- it's 660 - 760 days.) Holy cow!

Anyhoooo, onto the real reason for this post -- WIWW :) Just a few of the outfits I remembered to take a photo of since the last edition ... if only I could remember which day I wore what...

WIWW: Preggo Edition

WIWW is back! And this week I've been feeling uber preggo. It's hard to tell in these photos, but I love that my belly is finally taking shape. I'm starting to look less like I ate too many nachos and more like I'm growing a baby -- and at 15.5 weeks, that's a good thing!

Many thanks to my awesome friend Brit for letting me borrow some of her maternity clothes. Will really help to stretch my wardrobe -- and dollar -- farther. And, it helps that I got several maternity store giftcards for Christmas! :)

Okay, so everyone always talks about the weather. But this week? Was cool and rainy. And absolutely perfect. I got to finally break out some of the new fall things I bought months ago. And, I even found a few old things in my closet that I completely forgot about. Always nice, huh? :)

What I Wore Wednesdays

SO, guess I'm a day late for WIWW, but hey -- watching the Rangers get deflated by the Yankees yesterday sort of took priority. Anyhoo, what's the phrase I hear at work? A dollar waiting on a dime? Yeah, something like that...

Oh, and I will put this disclaimer out there -- wasn't feeling too great most of the week, hence the glasses and frumpiness. Feeling better now though, just in time for Friday! :)
