pregnancy series

Since this is the first pregnancy series post in 2011, I decided to write a short letter to my baby. I really cannot wait to see him or her in person! Sometimes I play “kicking game” with my baby. I tap my belly and he kicks back. When I tap twice, he kicks back twice too! I have an OB appointment this Friday, and I might finally find out the gender. Honestly, I’m happy with boy or girl. This is my first baby and I will be excited either way:)

I have been a bit emotional the past couple of days. Although my husband thanked me for not acting like Rita from Dexter when she was pregnant (constant bitching etc), there are some days that I can’t seem to control my emotions. I think I’m relatively emotionally stable, so this kind of throws me off. Once my friend commented that I’m like a robot (since I’m not overly emotional or don’t seem that way), and she was surprised that I cried at her wedding. It’s not like anything special happened in the past couple of days to make me emotional. It’s some stupid thing, like, I ate too many cookies, felt useless for not being able to control my appetite, and I cried. haha. I’m sure I will feel better soon:)

Yay 23 weeks! Last week, a friend of mind gave me a bag full of maternity clothes. She said they were handed down to her from other people, and although they look very comfortable, some of the clothes look a bit…un outdated. So I will be re-making them into a little more stylish maternity wear over the next few weeks.

My first project was this stripe shirt dress. The dress is lovely, but the length was so wrong. It hit the middle of my calf, and personally I think it’s the most unattractive skirt/dress length for me. I would also look really “pregnant” with that length.

So I simply cut the dress in the length I wanted, and hemmed it. I like “after” version much better, and I’m sure I will be wearing a lot with leggings, or belt tied around.
I’m wearing it with leggings and chunky necklace from F21 (got this for wedding) today.
