Our baby might be a biggin’. My doctor went over the ultrasound results with me, and said that she’s bigger than 77% of other babies at this point.
twenty one and a half weeks pregnant
I’m at the stage that the pregnancy books are referring to as “comfortably pregnant” or “cutely pregnant”. Awesome! Can’t wait for that uncomfortable, uncute part to start. Especially since I apparently have an amazon inside of me.
The ultrasound tech was only 85-90% sure, so there’s still a chance for a surprise. Apparently our baby is “a mover”. She wouldn’t stay still and cooperate!
I was looking through my Etsy favorites and ran across this onesie that I hearted awhile back. It’s made by the lovely and talented Miss Sarah Coyne. I suppose it may be time to order it soon, eh?
Meanwhile, here’s what I’m thinking about…
Brandon and I will find out if we’re having a girl or boy next week, the day before Thanksgiving!
Here’s what Brandon and I looked like this weekend:
The first look is a variation on my October Style Post, and the last look is my November Maternity Style Post.
Brandon’s cousin Chris is getting married this month and we’ll be traveling out to Iowa to attend the wedding. If I could still wear dresses with a defined waist, I probably would have gone with this silver dress, but I’m definitely in need of a maternity style now. Finding an inexpensive but cute dress to wear was easier than I thought it would be, so I built a whole outfit around it.
I already have the sequin clutch but if you’re looking for one, similar styles usually pop up on eBay. I’m going to wear simple sparkly earrings to add some more shine to my outfit. It IS a special event after all – I should have just a little bling, right?
I love Isaac Mizrahi’s Patent Oxfords, and they’ll look great with black thigh high stockings. And because no outfit of mine is complete without some kooky accessory that Brandon will think is silly, I think the Fall Corsage with Migrating Blue Bird will look smashing attached to a hair clip or headband. :)
I’m rapidly outgrowing my clothes and I’m going to need a new winter coat.
Should I buy a maternity coat, or can I get by with a roomy swingy coat in a larger size? I’m due in April, which means I may be wearing it right up to the end. Chicago winters tend to stick around well into spring.
