#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 […]

What I packed In My Hospital Bag … I still can’t believe my due date is coming up in 2 weeks. It’s true what they say about the last trimester, it flies right by. So I have been doing anything and everything to prep for the big day, the day we get to welcome our sweet baby girl in to this world! I’m excited, and of course naturally scared. The only thing to settle my nerves is to prep as much as I can. From washing and folding her little clothes in size order to re-packing and adding to my overnight bag. I don’t want to forget anything and want to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible. At least what I can control! For all you gorgeous mama’s to be, I’m sharing what I have packed in my hospital bag. Tips from mom friends or items recommended online helped inspire me to conjure up my ready-to-go bag.

Tell me, tell me!! Birth Plan (If you have one) […]

Maternity Support + Giveaway

admin — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 11:00:15 +0000

I had to dedicate an entire post to BLANQI for the simple fact that they made my last trimester bearable in the most fashionable way possible. Maternity support is so important and a game changer as you transition from trimester to trimester. It’s crazy how drastically different each trimester can be. The first trimester I was hush hush about my bundle of joy, wearing loose fitting clothing and sneaking crackers and ginger ale at work as snacks to keep the nausea down. Second trimester was a breeze for the most part other than heartburn. I was still working out, and had fun playing dress up as my belly grew. However, as soon as my Third Trimester hit, I’ve been dealing with THE worst heart burn causing me to throw up almost every evening. I feel just huge and extremely uncomfortable at all times. With the constant kicks to the ribs, sore back, lack of sleep, leg cramps and achy feet, I’m pretty excited to be done with the belly and finally get to meet baby girl. She is however worth every complaint, so don’t get it twisted! I just wish I had discovered BLANQI earlier on in my pregnancy to help. They are […]
