Day Two

Day Two

I have had a thing for stripes lately. 

When I pulled this shirt from my closet last night I was giddy, because the sleeves are flattering for my arms AND it has stripes.

 The scrunchies help create a nice defined shoulder, which is really great as my arms are getting a little thick which makes my whole upper body look like it's turning into a big exercise ball. 

Not really the look I'm going for.

Please don't mind the lovely bandage on my arm. I had to go for a 3 hour glucose test today at the hospital so I had some battle scars. 

Thankfully, everything is in the clear! I do not have gestational diabetes and my numbers are all well within the normal range. The only reason I had to take this test again is because right before my initial one, 

I ate lunch at Applebee's and had a hot fudge sunday shooter for dessert. 

Duh! 

But, I will pull the 'baby-brain' card and say 

I didn't realize that wasn't a good idea for that particular day.  

Wardrobe Tips:

*Skinny Belts*

Really easy to define your waist still.

Big belts are good too, but they tend to cut in when you're sitting or bending down (ouch).

They appear more delicate and feminine.

It's also nice to look in the mirror and be reminded that there is a small part on my body still.

*Tunics*

Great length with skinny bottoms.

Hide growing bottom and legs.

They tend to fall right at the smallest part of your thigh, which makes your legs look smaller.

Super comfortable and cute.

Also good for hiding the fact that your pants aren't buttoned anymore. 

(I am getting away with my normal pants still. 

I own one pair of maternity pants, and those are for work.)

Hope these tips help someone out there! 

These are things I've learned really work for my pregnant self.
