After about 6 months of being pregnant, I finally started to show, enough to have a complete stranger ask "When are you due?" I can't tell you how excited I was for this very moment. However, because of this, I decided I was allowed to start shopping in the maternity section of stores, and was super pumped to begin this new stage of pregnancy. You always see how adorable women look on TV while pregnant, but let me tell you a thing or two....this is NOT the case. (Now I know there are several women who look fantastic pregnant. I am not this case) I seriously tried on a dress for an upcoming wedding, and looked like a linebacker. Granted I am defiantly not the smallest person to begin with, but I almost broke down and cried. Also, I am having a terrible time trying to find maternity clothes that don't particularly look maternity. I don't want the loose shirts that look like tents with the string around the chest. Half the items I try on, I'm fairly confident that my mother owned while she was pregnant with me. Outdated by at least 20 years.
7mths along = Third Trimester :)
Couldn't find a Halloween Costume I liked, so was inspired to make my own!
On a side note, I had my appointment today for my 1 hr glucose test to determine whether I had Gestational Diabetes, and I'm happy...no THRILLED, to announce that I tested negative for this, and hope and pray to continue to have a healthy pregnancy for another 3 mths!!
Hope everyone has been having a great November so far.
XOXO,
