Hooray for new specs! Our insurance covers a lot of the cost, so I took advantage of that before the year ended. I found them online too (at a discount), in case anyone is inclined to check them out.
Also, here I am at 25 and a half weeks pregnant. Getting bigger, but still feeling all right.

January 3, 2009 at 8:47 pmYou look great. The curtains look great, too. I can’t believe how much better that fabric looks in real life v. online.

January 3, 2009 at 8:55 pmMy husband and I are trying for a bub and I love reading your pregnancy posts (despite a rude person on AT disagreeing, hrmph). You look fantastic! You always look so stylish too, I could only wish.

January 3, 2009 at 9:38 pmI wish that I would have looked like I just stepped out of the pages of JCrew when I was pregnant. Exciting times!!!

January 3, 2009 at 10:41 pmThanks, everyone.
And Manda, that’s so nice to hear. Some of those comments got pretty nasty, and I tried to just not let them bother me.
Oh, and that dress is from J.Crew. It’s on clearance, and I had a discount code, so I picked it up for only $30.

January 3, 2009 at 11:30 pmNicole – That was a really nice comment you posted at D16. As I said there, both you and Anna are truly the standard-setters of internet etiquette. I’ve witnessed you both defuse unpleasant remarks on your respective blogs, and I admire you for that. As I also mentioned at D16, my taste, age and personal circumstances are very different from yours and Anna’s, yet I get great pleasure checking in with your blogs every day. Thanks to you both for providing your readers with such a smart, interesting, and inspirational look into your private lives.

January 4, 2009 at 11:25 amI love those glasses!
& you look stunning, even at 25 weeks.
I’m getting a new pair of glasses this year, I’m determined. My last pair is great, but I need options. (I get mine cheap at http://www.eyeglassfactoryoutlet.com/ I was skeptical at first, but they turned out to be great glasses even at the price.)
Loving your blog & its very inspiring. Thanks!

January 4, 2009 at 11:43 amWhat are you doing for leg wear with your dresses? I’d love to wear some dresses and skirts (I’m 28 weeks), but I just can’t do tights right now!

January 4, 2009 at 1:36 pmHi Nicole!
I love your glasses. They look fab!!! I need to order some new glasses and was going to go the online route, but I am worried when they come in, they won’t look right. Any suggestions?
Mona
January 4, 2009 at 2:22 pmI’m also a graphic designer and your photoshop mock-ups have inspired me to do the same so I don’t make any more impulse purchases while I’m making my own apartment “lovely”.
Great website – thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

January 4, 2009 at 3:09 pmCute glasses! They look great on you. I just ordered new ones myself before the end of the year, although I don’t look good in thicker plastic frames, I got blue metal Fendi ones. And you look great for 25 weeks. I just had a baby in October and I didn’t start seriously piling on the weight until the last six weeks or so. And now I’m having all the fun of trying to take it off. I really wish I hadn’t eaten all the junk I did at the end of my pregnancy, when I was feeling lousy and letting myself over-indulge. Don’t do what I did! Not everyone loses a lot through breastfeeding. And some of us who planned to breastfeed found out that we couldn’t and then ended up not having that assist for weightloss. (Yeah, that’s me.)

January 4, 2009 at 3:36 pmsuch a modern mom-to-be :) I wish I could order some of the dresses you’ve blogged about (I’m at 20 weeks), unfortunately, most of the online stores don’t ship to Canada (boooo!)
Also just realized: we have the same haircut! lol!
Rachel
January 4, 2009 at 5:21 pmLooking FABULOUS! The glasses match your glow. =) I’m loving those curtains too!
Anna @ D16
January 4, 2009 at 8:07 pmWow, you really look amazing!!! And I think we have matching haircuts. :)
Thank you for the comment you left on my blog, by the way. I’ve had a teary couple of days, and it really means a lot to know that we all still have each other’s support. xox

patricia
January 5, 2009 at 7:08 amLove that the “chronicles of pregnant you” and the new specs are very smart!
I too have black frames!
Did you tell us, is the baby a boy or girl?
Kari
January 5, 2009 at 12:13 pmLove the necklace (and, lets be honest, just about anything from Anthropologie)!
Susan
January 5, 2009 at 1:08 pmYou look great! I love the new glasses, too. I feel like I have an odd shaped face, so I fear that I wouldn’t have the same luck as you ordering glasses online. I agree with Kari, your necklace is adorable. Is it from Anthropologie?
Making it Lovely
January 5, 2009 at 1:45 pmI think the necklace is from Anthropologie, but I’m not sure. My sister gave it to me for Christmas.
Patricia, we’re having a girl!
Jaime, I’ve been buying tights a size larger and that’s been working so far. There are maternity tights too, but they never come in anything but black and brown, and their pricey. Oh, and sometimes I wear thick wool knee socks, but that is admittedly not a look for everyone. ;)
As far as ordering glasses online without trying them on… I’m not sure I could do it! I bought mine at Lenscrafters (after trying on about 30 different frames).

January 5, 2009 at 11:11 pmI’m a long-time lurker and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. Would you mind sharing the name/designer of your curtain fabric? I’m sure you’ve posted it before, but I wasn’t able to find the info. Thanks!
McG
January 7, 2009 at 8:56 amthe glasses suit you… and thanks for the link. I’m in th market for a new pair and just didn’t have the time to shop. Your dress is lovely and I love the colour!
Making it Lovely
January 9, 2009 at 7:40 pmWendy, I made the curtains out of fabric by Moda. It was called “mom’s couch”, part of the Uptown line (now discontinued).
