I thought this sweatshirt was hilarious and awesome. I didn’t think anything of the fact that I am pregnant and about to be a mom. When I showed John he was kinda of like “you cant wear that”. Not in a bossy way, but in a “I’m pretty sure that’s frowned upon” way. It had never occurred to me and I thought, “aww man, do I look like a dirt bag?” But this morning when I decided to wear it he said I looked cute. Plus, my hair covers most of it. It is repeated on the backside but its black ink on a black sweatshirt so it’s much more subtle.
The sweatshirt is from a web store called….SheInside. Yeah. Weirdest name ever. As you can imagine, not only based on copywright infringement but also on that name, it is not an American company. I was hesitant to buy from the site initially but after finding another blogger who had purchased from them before and seeing that they had free international shipping I decided to go for it.
Pregnancy Status: 31 weeks 4 days
Outfit:
Sweatshirt: She Inside ($28) – apparently no longer available. But here is a similar Comme des Garcons parody
Hat: Vans ($30) – John got this for me while we were out shopping on Mother’s Day weekend. He likes me in hats, but I don’t wear them all too often. I figure, if you are going to have a baseball hat, and you are not at a baseball game, this one is pretty fun.
Shorts: American Eagle (via TJ Maxx) – non maternity shorts, just several sizes larger than my pre-maternity size so they sit lower on the hips, below the belly.
Watch: Nixon – The Kensington ($175)
Earrings: Chanel
Shoes: unbleached Converse All Stars ($45)

Tuesday night it was so bad that my once skinny toes all seemed to be touching each other and the skin felt like it was being stretched to the max. John got me a giant bowl of ice water and instructed me to submerge my feet in it. I figured this was some sort of sports trick and I had no alternative idea so I went with it. It hurt like hell at first. I mean ice water on your feet is not pleasant to begin with. Then it felt like the cold had shocked all the blood to go elsewhere and I started getting shooting pains up my calves like all the blood was panicking to exit the feet! But once I removed them from the ice they actually did feel better and the swelling went down. I’ve also started adding lemon to the insane amounts of water I drink lately because I hear that can help as well. I’ve already been propping my feet up at work but now I am also trying to wiggle and stretch them more as well.
