28 weeks and today’s outfit

Posted on 15. Feb, 2010 by in outfit

We had a really, really great Valentine’s Day. We don’t usually do anything crazy or out-of-character for sentimental holidays, but I think we both love to be able to set aside some time and forget about our everyday obligations. Just taking time to be grateful for each other.

This year, I actually got a few gifts! I was so surprised. We lost our popcorn popper in the move (How do things get lost when you move? We are still missing lots of things!) and I have REALLY been craving it, so I was so happy to have a replacement. He also got me some of those Toms boots I have been coveting for months. Now the snow just needs to melt so I can wear them without getting them all wet!

I didn’t get him anything but later this week I promised to take him shopping for new jeans. I love a man who dips my food in chocolate for me and doesn’t complain about clothes shopping. Match made in heaven.

My mom has been searching high and low for maternity pants that fit my 25” inseam. Yes, I can hem. Yes, I can take them to a tailor. But I’m too lazy right now.

A few days ago a big box of pants arrived from JC Penney of all places. And there was a pair of adjustable-waist dark wash jeans that fit like a dream! This is the first time I have worn pants in like 7 months. Everyone always says “I love how you are so dressed up,” or “It’s so cute how you wear dresses all the time.” The thing is, I only wear dresses all the time because I have no pants.

We also started our childbirth classes on Valentine’s Day. We decided to go with the Bradley Method. I have read a few books about it and I’m excited to start learning from a coach. My belly button also popped out big-time this week and my first-trimester fatigue returned. Not good!

    I used the Bradley Method when I delivered my son almost 2 years ago. My husband and I read the book, he read the Husband Coached Childbirth book, and we practiced our relaxation techniques. Then I went into labor a month early while he was on a business trip and I had to coach myself through the labor and delivery!

    I thought I was the only person in this world that likes chocolate covered potato chips. I know what I’ll be having for dinner tonight :)

    Is it weird that I don’t even know you yet am so excited for your beautiful girl to arrive? (Also, extreme shoe love!)

    There’s an Xbox controller in that picture! Your husband and my husband should become Xbox Live buddies…or you and I should. Depending on who plays the games in your house. XO.

    I’ve gone for months wearing nothing but skirts and dresses because I have no pants. But that’s because my inseam is more than 10″ longer than yours!

    I hope the fatigue passes.

    You’re looking fabulous!

    I just bought my first pair of jeans in YEARS. I always wore skirts and dresses to work. And I still don’t own dress pants.
