PG - 12 Weeks 2 Days - What I'm Wearing Today

I know when I blogged about the maternity clothes I picked up, some people asked for pics. I don't have any yet, but I can explain exactly what I'm wearing today to work. It's really hard to figure out what to wear to work everyday. I picked up a two nice dresses and some tops until I desperately need maternity pants, but that time is pretty much here and I'm trying to hold out as long as I can for budget reasons. This is my last pregnancy, so this stuff will be going to consignment shops when I'm done.

The two dresses I picked up are really for Spring, so today I figured out how to winterize them. Here is the one dress I picked up from Destination Maternity that I'm wearing today. /I'm kind of impressed with what I did to winterize it and feel fashionable at work. I put on an eggplant purple turtleneck (non-maternity), a pair of maternity black patterned tights, black low-heel suede boots, a costume set of three black bead bracelets and my good black pearl earrings. I feel fab! Which is always one of my first steps to having a good day.

Cute dress and your winterization sounds great too.

That sounds cute! Much better than my big cardigan over tight (in the belly) non-maternity pants. I don't know if you already know this but a bella band is crap. I found that out today. Maybe I'm too lumpy and round but all it did was roll up when I sit. I had to button my pants and take it off.

If you want some cheap maternity clothes, I recommend KMART. They have some comfy jeans that aren't expensive. They got me through...

Love the dress... have something very similar from ATLoft. Nice to know when I do get pregnant I'll be able to wear it for at least 4-5mths.

Absolutely agree if you feel fabulous, it will manifest itself in so many other ways throughout your day.

Thanks for sharing,
Anna

Bravo! I stay away from dresses in the winter even when I'm not pregnant. Hate pantyhose/tights. I stuck to pants and now that I'm off work I'm living in yoga pants and jeans when I have to go out. :)

Oooooh! I love the dress! I'm sure you look fab-ooooo-lous! It's tough to drop the big dollars on clothes we're only going to wear for a few months, isn't it?! I'm a sucker for all things Old Navy maternity...I always have good luck with their sizes/fits.

Have a fantastic weekend, hot mama!

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
