Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

I was just given three bags full of hand-me-downs in sizes that are about 4 to 5 sizes larger than I normally wear when I'm not pregnant. I decided to keep them and opt out of maternity clothes. I still have some room in these shorts, but I thought I could get away with them because they kind of look like boyfriend shorts. They are super comfortable and best of all, they were free! 

We're headed to a baseball game tonight, so I might throw on a baseball cap on my way there. Nothing like a minor league baseball game to get you in a summer mood!

 

My daughter is trying to make a bold fashion statement with her "ankle bracelet". ha ha!

Everything but the shoes are from Gap and were hand-me-downs. The shoes are from Dillard's and were gifted.

Sundresses On Hot Summer Days

 Yesterday was a nice warm day. We still haven't put our AC window units in since it's been cool, so yesterday almost got too hot with me spending all afternoon in the laundry room doing laundry and at the oven making pizzas and breadsticks for dinner (bad call). This little knit dress was perfect for staying cool and comfortable. Maybe I'll make it through this summer ok after all!

 

I'm happy to report that my morning sickness is lessening considerably as of this past weekend. I'm starting to think maybe it will completely go away!

It's the Weekend!

We had some storms come through Wednesday night causing the power at my husband's office to go out yesterday, which meant that we had him home all day! We ended up getting some house projects done, but as you can see behind me, we have so many more to tackle yet.

To belt or not to belt?

This dressy is very comfortable, but has very little shape. I tried it with the belt and thought it looked a little too constricting - but maybe I'm wrong? Does it look better belted?

Cantaloupe

When I saw first saw this dress at Ann Taylor I was in Baltimore killing some time with my kids browsing through the stores at the mall. It was full price at the time, but I was instantly drawn to the fluid lines of the dress and beautiful cantaloupe color. This past Winter I happened upon this dress in a larger size than I normally wear but on finale clearance sale. I snagged it for only $7! Being early pregnant when I bought it, I knew it would fit perfect by the time it was warm enough to wear and sure enough - it is!

June Wedding

 I wore this to a lovely wedding last night. Not so sure how I feel about my belly button being so prominent in this dress, but not quite sure what to do about it either. I considered duct tape, but thought the tape marks might look worse. I've tried the belly band, but it still pokes through. I might have to do some research about it. For the record, I have an innie when I'm not pregnant.

White Maternity Jeans

I was trying to wait till I had no other option before I pulled out my maternity clothes, but it seems as if the need for comfort has overcome my pride. These are Gap jeans I picked up on their off-season at Gap for my last pregnancy. I only ended up wearing them a handful of times for that pregnancy, so hopefully I will get some more wear out of them this time around.
