week 27 and today’s outfit. so, a big long baby post.
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Princess Lasertron in baby, outfit
It’s the beginning of my 7th month, my third trimester. This week I got a GORGEOUS new wool coat and wrap dress from Isabella Oliver and they fit beautifully. The coat has a little room to grow and the dress is perfectly versatile–I feel like I can do a daytime look that is modest enough but still says “notice me, I’m cute,” or a sexier look for going out. And anything that makes me feel sexy and beautiful these days gets a huuuuuge thumbs up.
Coat: Isabella Oliver
Wrap Dress: Isabella Oliver
Tights: No Boundaries
Shoes: Betsey Johnson
Necklace: Subversive for Target
I never really wanted to make this a “baby blog”…that’s not what I’m all about (just partially about). I haven’t shared an ultrasound photo yet because I think they look weird and alien. Maybe that’s not a nice thing to say…maybe that’s insensitive…but you know what I mean, right? When a doctor prints off a picture and I can clearly see a hand or a face or a butt and I know I’m looking at a picture of something IN me–something with its own heartbeat and circulatory system and fingernails–that is what makes it alien and foreign. As I sit here typing, I can feel her little foot jammed up my ribcage and her fists pounding, and it’s like one more thing for me to finally get used to before I push her out and my routine is switched up again. So that is what the picture reminds me of and represents to me–weird! And if you think ultrasound pictures are weird, it doesn’t hurt my feelings. I am right there with you.
My good friends are having their baby girl today by cesarean section this morning. All night last night I thought about them, about what it must be like knowing this is the LAST night alone. The last night you will sleep in bed as just husband and wife. The last night you will leave the house as a family of two. I can’t believe that day is going to come for me, too.
So this is Alice Elfie. I can explain this. Tilt your head to the right. Her head is on the right side facing toward you, and you can see the roundness of her eyelid pretty well and the bottom of her right ear. You can also make out some chubby cheeks (the whiter part), and her little nose and mouth. Horizontal from the left side are her arms and fingers curled up under her chin. It’s like a magic eye. You might need to cross your eyes to see the image.
I just can’t wait to meet her! I want to know what color hair she has (I am taking a chance and betting on red). I want to know what her favorite toys are. What she likes to do. What she wants to wear. What she thinks is funny. What she likes best about her dad.
For reading this long post, I drew you this picture of Alice (who we have nicknamed “babytron”) destroying the Omaha skyline. Raaaar!

That dress is hot! You look great, Meg!
My husband and I went out to dinner the night before our first child was born. It was a weird feeling knowing it was the last time we’d be out like that for a long while. Going from husband and wife to mother and father is quite the trip

Fabulous outfit and totally love the jacket
I must say I appreciate the amount of baby detail you blog about. I have stopped following a few bloggers who post way too much about baby. The fact that i simply adore you doesn’t hurt either
I hope you have a red-haired Alice! That would be perfect.

A red-haired Alice WOULD be perfect (though, she’s perfect either way), I have a red-haired LaRue and think she’s pretty much as close to little girl perfection as it’s possible to be. Cute little red-haired girls are the best, just ask Charlie Brown.

When I went and had my first ever ultrasound…I blurted out…”It looks like an octopus.” The tech was so judging me!
P.S. I never looked that cute when I was 7 months pregnant!

You are so adorable! I love when you post your outfits, it’s my favorite part! That is a gorgeous wrap dress, you look sensational!
My daughter is 11 1/2 and it is really hard to remember when she was little, but something that always stands out in my memory is how often I thought “I can’t wait until she is older and we can have conversations together!”…. and now she is older, and we have lots and lots of conversations. She is witty, creative, articulate, beautiful, kind, forgiving and just the most precious person in my life. She makes me proud every single day. I know that you are excited to have Alice here and I wanted to share with you how much fun it is being a mother to a daughter. She will change everything about your life, and you will love every moment (even when she yells “i hate you!” the first time and runs crying to her room, trust me that will happen!)… Many wishes of happiness to you on this adventure, it is so very rewarding and life-changing.
I also have a blog, if you have a moment to take a peek : )

You are the most stylish mom-to-be I’ve ever seen. Love the outfit. And, I couldn’t agree with you more about ultrasounds.
