function has officially triumphed over fashion.

Many of you have expressed that you enjoyed my pregnancy outfit posts.

Well, you may have noticed that I haven't done one of those posts in quite some time.  
This is the reason:
(Hello giant baby bump!)

At 37 weeks pregnant I am feeling less than stellar about my body and basically nothing fits.  It's actually a little bit ridiculous.  I am sorry to have to admit that function has officially triumphed over fashion.  I gave it a good run, but with dresses that no longer cover my bum, shirts that don't cover my belly and shoes that don't fit my swollen feet, my options are limited.  I will say that while I haven't succumbed to wearing yoga pants and flip flops outside of the house, pajama pants are definitely happening more frequently during my at-home hours.

While I am most definitely excited to meet our daughter and I know that all of this will be well worth it, I must say that I am beyond excited to wear real clothes again and to get back in shape after Fern arrives. 

And at 37 weeks pregnant I am officially full term, so this could be just around the corner as one of the little boys in my class reminded me yesterday....

Child:  "Teacher...how come your baby is taking so long to get hatched out of your belly?"

Me:  "I don't know buddy.  Why don't you ask her."

Child:  (proceeds to tap on my belly) "Fern!  Hurry up and come out!"

My sentiments exactly :).

  8. Is that one of the giant tent-like shirts you borrowed from me? Hopefully those are coming in handy right about now. It's crazy how nobody talks about the end of pregnancy and how nothing fits you...even maternity stuff! At least this stage doesn't last long...though the only time I really had to leave the house was when I went out on walks to try to "get things going" so I didn't exactly have to look presentable. You are a trooper for still going to work for sure! I keep thinking I'm going to get a text from you any time saying that you're in labor! So soon my friend...she will be out before you know it!

  11. The last couple of weeks were definitely interesting. While I could still technically put my dresses on, the belly made them come up so high (nearly to crotch length) that I pretty much had to wear them as shirts with maternity jeans. It will go by fast though and you will be back to normal clothes before you know it!
