#Stylethebump

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 06:05:33 +0000

Maternity Clothes can be so daunting and unnecessary. I learned this from the first pregnancy and made sure the second go around not to waist my time and money. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few essentials I did pick up that will for sure come in handy like maternity leggings and tank support. My go to’s are from Branqi for basics. You will for sure be thankful for those come third trimester but for the most part a few cute dresses and styling techniques can carry you through out all 3 trimesters and beyond! Here are a few things to look out for when shopping and styling for that bump plus some pieces I own and love. Find pieces that you will feel confident wearing years to come even after the baby! Don’t waist your money on pieces you won’t wear again, save it for the million other things the new babe will need. Sundress: Of course this is more helpful in the Spring and Summer but an empire waist dress or tent dress is perfect for that growing belly. In the colder seasons find a longer style and pair with a crop jacket. Biker Shorts: I have […]

April Showers Bring Ma’ Baby

April showers bring ma’ baby! Yes, yes … we all know the saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers”, but this year April Showers will bring something a little more special … ma’ BABY! I have been waiting for this month to show face for what has felt like forever, and now that it’s here it’s crazy to think that I get to meet my sweet angel in just a week or maybe days, who knows?! Like most women carrying their child for over 9 months, 39 weeks and 2 days to be exact, I’m more than ready to loose this belly and start the next chapter in this book of life … being a mom! Looking back at these photos taken just a little over a month ago, it’s crazy to see how much I’ve grown in my last trimester. I can’t even describe the feeling of un comfort I’m in now. I actually pushed back my first day of maternity leave because the thought of sitting or laying around waiting for her arrival just gives me anxiety. I can never find a comfortable position and quite frankly I would probably end up eating everything in the fridge! So working up […]

Tickled Pink on Valentine’s Day

I’m tickled pink because this Valentine’s Day I have more to celebrate. As our family grows so does my love and I have so much to be thankful for. As the nursery slowly comes together, I can’t help to just stand in her room and smile. Knowing in just a few months I will be holding my little love in my arms. In the meantime it will just be the three of us (counting the fur baby), making this February 14th a special one. It will be our last love day celebrating alone because next year daddy will have a new Valentine, and I’m actually more than ok with that. I know my hubby was a little hesitant when we found out the gender of our little bun in the oven. Not because he didn’t want a girl, but because he didn’t and still doesn’t know what to expect out of raising a little girl. But who really does! Of course it’s going to be hard but there will be sweet rewards out of it all and isn’t that what parenting is all about? I’m ready to take on life’s curve balls as intimidating as it all sounds. On another note, […]

Good Things Are Popping Up

Good things are popping up … 18 weeks now and boy can I tell you it has been much more difficult to cater to this growing bump than I expected. I’ve been in that awkward period where I can still wear my stretchy frame jeans but after I eat it’s game over and I reach for the closest rubber band to allow my belly to breathe. For the past few weeks I have been trying to hide the small bump since I’ve just been feeling pudgy. In fact, when I look in the mirror I forget that I’m even pregnant with all the flowy tops I’ve been wearing. But I think it’s finally time I embrace the bump because only good things are popping up from here on out! Since my belly has finally “popped” in literally just the past few days, dresses have been my preferred choice of outfit. At least while I wait for a few maternity jean deliveries to make their way to my door step. This dress has been my go to because the stripes actually accentuate the bump in a good way to show the belly off rather than slightly hiding it to leave that awkward question up to those […]
