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.

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,

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!

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
