Rockin’ more men’s tee shirts today. Still have to buy my own (i.e. cant borrow any from the hubs). I spotted someone on instagram wearing this one and had to get it. I love The Gaslight Anthem plus it had an anchor on it, how could I not?! Still feeling super comfy and easy today but the headscarf and lipstick helps me feel accessorized and pulled together.

I got told (AGAIN?!) that I looked like Popeye today. Apparently I’m channeling a bald buff old sailor. Get into it.

Pregnancy Status: 38 weeks!  Totally in a waiting game now with this baby. Just watching for signs.

Tee: ($18)

This might be one of my favorite late in the game maternity dresses. In other words, when not much fits, or makes you feel great, I feel like this dress delivers. And double bonus, its super comfy.  I wore it for my LA baby shower and also for my recent maternity shoot. Also I love coral. It’s one of my favorite colors for spring/summer. It’s bright and happy and it really pops against tanned summer skin.

Pregnancy Status: 37 weeks 6 days

This used to be a tunic thing. I usually wore it as a beach cover up over my swimsuit. But today, it fits like a tee shirt. Keeping it simple and comfy but still fun with a little pattern.

Hello Monday. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Ours was pretty nice. We had a super fun maternity shoot on Saturday and I cant wait to get the photos back so I can share them! It was so much fun. My co-worker and his wife just moved here from Brazil 5 months ago, she is a photographer and looking to build her portfolio here in LA. She asked to photograph me fairly early on in the pregnancy and I was really excited about it, but we just now got around to it. I was worried that at 37 weeks (ready to pop!) I wouldn’t feel very photogenic and I wouldn’t have as many cute clothing options to wear, but I actually felt great and was really happy!

I rode the wave of feeling great and being comfortable & confident with my body and decided to rock a knee length dress today (hello there thigh high compression hose!). This is my Liz Lange for Target dress that I found on clearance for $10 and it has proven to be a great staple through out the pregnancy (as seen here and here and here). So find yourself a stretchy black simple maternity dress, I imagine you won’t regret it!

As I was trying clothes on I initially by-passed this outfit at first, thinking it was maybe a bit much. Then John said “what happened to Guns N’ Roses?” after I started to try on another outfit. I said “Oh, you liked that one?” and he said “yeah, duh!”. So I guess it wasn’t too much after all….well, that’s debatable.

It’s hard to say because I am carrying so high but I feel like the baby MIGHT have dropped or started dropping. He seems slightly lower and I definitely feel a bit more room around my ribs etc. Maybe he’s still working on it, we’ll see hehe.

If it looks like I can barely keep my eyes open in these photos, that’s because its true! I am utterly exhausted. This whole making a baby thing is real tiring! Especially these last few weeks!

Things are forecast to warm up a bit here this week but I’m kind of dreading it. Even though I still have warm weather clothes that fit, I feel like my legs look like tree trunks lately and I’m not really looking forward to the idea of wearing shorts or short dresses. Even if I wear my compression hose (I bought a thigh high version that I have yet to wear) I almost feel like- “what’s the point, that’s probably about as warm as wearing pants”. Meh, we will see. Maybe I will take advantage of the fact that I’m inside the office most of the day and it’s easier to get away with wearing pants as the temperature is better regulated. Speaking of being in the office- I only have to work in the office for about 2 more weeks! After Fourth of July I will be able to work from home up until the babies birth and as this pregnancy progresses I am really looking forward to it!
