Maternity clothes

postpartum exercisesAs I put on my maternity jeans today, I realized that while I hate the fact that I’m still wearing maternity jeans, I’m not exactly doing much about it.  As in I’m seriously lacking the motivation for some reason.

I can rattle off a bajillion reasons why I need to lose this damn baby weight, but I would rather eat a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and waffle fries instead.  Oh, okay I’ll be honest:  I washed the above down with a Dr. Pepper.

My size 10 maternity jeans are feeling a bit snug… in the hips & thigh area, which is no good at all.  It’s actually quite depressing that it’s been [click to continue…]

postpartum exerciseThe other night I went out with my best friend.  I was so excited & hardly had time to think about what I was going to wear.  After all, it was my first girl’s night out and I was more excited about that so I really forgot to look in my closet to see what I had to wear.

My friend came over and we looked in my closet, trying to find something for me to wear.  I have a lot of clothes… I mean, a lot.  However I do not own any “fat” clothes.

And since I just had a baby, this [click to continue…]

love between a mother and a sonNow that motherhood has been a part of my life for almost 5 weeks, I feel a little more confident about all things mom and baby related.  Notice I said “a little more confident”… I still have a long ways to go, but looking back to when Monkey was just born, I have come a long way.  There’s still so much for me to learn and room for my confidence to increase tenfold.

Motherhood is so unique that nothing except experience can really prepare you.  You can read books, blogs, or listen to advice from parents, but it will not be the same when you have a child.  It’s just something that you need to [click to continue…]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant! Time to meet baby is getting near!For some time I’ve heard, “Just wait until you get near the end of the third trimester, you will be anxious for the baby to come and you will be bored.”  I honestly never thought I’d be too anxious for my life to change in such a drastic way, but dare I say it, I am.  

(Although, baby T. you just stay in there for at least 3 more weeks.  At the very minimum.  Please.)

Last night while I was bored, I perused a few other pregnancy blogs that I usually read.  While on one, I found this pregnancy survey on a reader’s blog and thought [click to continue…]

My grandmother was funny when asking about maternity clothes. Times have changed, grandmaMaternity clothes have really changed since the time my grandmother was pregnant.  While I don’t have a huge belly yet, you can definitely tell that I’m pregnant.  

I prefer maternity shirts that are fitted, it’s just my style and I like that there is no guessing whether or not I’m pregnant.

I was with my grandmother the other day and I was wearing a fitted maternity [click to continue…]

Feeling great at 21 weeks pregnant while in my second trimester!Whew, what a busy past couple of days it’s been this week being 21 weeks pregnant.  Good thing that the second trimester energy is not a lie because I’m not sure how I would have functioned this past week.  My favorite part of being pregnant so far has definitely been this past week.  So many milestones have come with being 21 weeks pregnant and it’s been pretty amazing!

First, I wanted to give you a recap about the bachelorette party that I went to.  I will admit that it was not as awful as I expected, but it was still pretty boring.  Our night started off at dinner and of course I enjoyed the yummy Mexican food!  It was my favorite part of the night!  Ha, ha!

After dinner we went [click to continue…]

Pregnancy hormones have made my skin so sensitive. I hate it!My pregnancy hormones have been a bit out of whack lately, as you know and as most of you can probably relate to.  I cry at anything; when I’m happy, sad, or just need a good cry (which Tarzan absolutely does not understand!).  I get pissed off at almost anything and take just about the majority of things the wrong way and completely out of context.  

On top of crying and getting mad easily, I am also equally cheesy lately.  I’m a complete sap and don’t know where that comes from either.  This pregnancy stuff really messes with my hormones and makes me someone that I completely don’t recognize.  

In addition to all of the various emotions running wild [click to continue…]

If you hate people that touch your pregnant belly, you must get this tank top to wear. They should back off!If you are anything like me and you hate the thought or the actual reality of people touching your pregnant belly, then you must get this pregnancy tank!  I love it and am going to place my order as soon as I get finished posting this post.  

I love so many pregnancy shirts and tanks that have messages [click to continue…]

I'm 20 weeks pregnant, do I buy more maternity jeans now or wait? Do I get full panel or low rise? Help!Being halfway into my second trimester, I only have one pair of maternity jeans and they are full panel maternity jeans.  While I know that I didn’t need a pair of full panel maternity jeans since my bump isn’t that big yet, they were on sale a while ago and I couldn’t pass them up.  

In the summers I hardly ever wear jeans; I’m more of a dress kind of girl.  I do know that I’ll need another pair of jeans soon and I’d like to try a different style of maternity jeans this time around.  

I really like the low-rise or the kind of maternity jean that doesn’t have even have a panel, it’s just an elastic waist to appear like it is a regular jean.  I got an email from Old Navy this morning and I see that they have a pair [click to continue…]

My pre-pregnancy panty of choice was always Victoria's Secret.I’ve always been a huge fan of sexy panties.  My preference has involved lots of lace and thongs in the past.  It’s always made me feel sexy and that’s a good feeling.  

Well, my nice panty selection has come to a screeching halt since being pregnant and now I’m all about comfort…  which, by the way, does not include lace or anything that resembles a thong.  

For real. 

Instead, I have traded Victoria’s Secret [click to continue…]
