Baby Bump Update + Fashion Cravings

Only 4 weeks left until I'm due! It's hard to believe my pregnancy is almost over. It's been an amazing experience and one that I've enjoyed very much (thanks to zero morning sickness and feeling great 99% of the time!). Everyone has told me the last month is the most uncomfortable and I'd have to agree. Simple things like putting lotion on my legs, getting off the sofa, or sleeping comfortably have become increasingly difficult. Aside from being able to move around freely once the baby is born, I'm really looking forward to wearing NORMAL CLOTHES! As soon as I can, I plan on hitting the gym full-time to work on getting my body back to what it was pre-baby (or close to, hopefully).

It's been hard seeing all of the adorable spring / summer clothes and not being able to buy anything, so today I've rounded up some fun items that I look forward to wearing in just a few short months (don't know about the bikini, but I had to include it for motivation!). What summer styles are you looking forward to wearing? What's your go to outfit on a warm spring or summer day?
 
A recent photo of me, taken just 2 weeks ago. I got a great deal on this dress last year at Loehmans and I was happy to discover that I could squeeze my pregnant belly into it! The shoes are from Target (comfy, cute and totally affordable).

  16. i just saw those shoes tonight at target! you are brave to wear them during your last couple months! i wore heels, too. but after i fell at 38 weeks, i decided not to wear them anymore... mostly because i was not even wearing heels when i fell. =)

    but you look amazing! seriously! aren't you so glad they make stylish pregnancy clothing now? when my mom was pregnant with me, they had the most unflattering maternity clothes. it is a woman's most beautiful time of life, if you ask me... and that is when she should be dressing the most stylish! your dress is gorgeous!

    oh, my! just four weeks. all the best to you. you are about to begin the most wonderful journey. tiring. exhausting at times. but more wonderful than anything else you will ever know. enjoy your last four weeks!!
