{Copycat Tuesday} Fashion Bloggers

It's hard for me to get inspired lately. Especially when I'm not where I would like to be weight wise. I'm constantly reminded by people that I just had a baby. But I'm in that obnoxious transitional period. Where nothing old fits right and you don't like the way anything new fits. Let's just say I'm really tired of leggings. They have gotten old. So I'm on a mission to get inspired! With all this nice sunny weather and moving soon to a new place. I plan on keeping an eye out for new things and starting fresh. Hopefully I will be bringing some new stuff for you soon. Until then let's just have some fun with Copycat Tuesday! This one is by one of my fave fashionistas Lua from http://www.le-happy.com

ANNNNNNNDDDDDDD I'M BACK!!!!

I think it's been long enough since we had a fashion post right?

I've had some serious cabin fever lately, or mommy fever. Whatever you want to call it. When you are tired of wearing nursing tanks and leggings every single day. Where my hair is hardly ever done and my I don't even really remember my face with makeup on. How do you wear mascara again? Not to mention the massive amounts of layers and stuff I have whenever I go out is just downright claustrophobic! I don't know if you had heard. New England has broken some serious snow records this last month. It has kept me inside for quite some time now. So I was left with only one option. Move around some furniture and start taking some pictures inside. Unless you all wanted to see what kind of outfits I could make out of snow. Hmmmmmm interesting idea. I think I'll pass though!

Found this outfit on pinterest awhile back. So, I thought I would get back into some fashion with using some pinspiration.

I also had a special guest who wanted to model with me.......maybe not. He is a natural though.

{Fashion Friday} The last of the belly

I didn't always get a chance to take pictures of all my outfits during my pregnancy. In fact there were lots of days where it was tank tops and leggings. Nothing too exciting. I did manage to get a few cell phone pictures that I never shared. I planned on taking a real picture but never got around to it. Then baby came. That was the fastest pregnancy ever! Either that or I'm getting old and the clock is speeding up. It feels like it never even happened and now I have a little man. Where did he come from!? I managed to get through it with only two pairs of "Maternity" jeans and one "Maternity" top. The rest was sized up 6 pairs of leggings, a few tops, 4-5 bodycon dresses. As well as some tops from my last pregnancy that I just recycled through. Now with all that money saved I get to shop for new clothes once I lose my baby weight! This is a mixture of the outfits throughout the pregnancy.

Maternity photos

I am so behind on blogging! There's so much to update everyone on! First off I got these gorgeous Maternity Pictures done by the lovely Jenny Courtney Photography

Then 4 days later BOOM! My water broke! A whole 4 weeks early!!!

But more on that story later. I just wanted to share some of my favorites from our photo session. It was hard to pick a few because I love them all. My little family were such troopers in getting these done with me. Especially since it was freezing outside! I'm surprised my belly didn't turn blue to match my skirt! I hope you love them as much as I do. Make sure to check out Jenny's other work too. She's an awesome photographer!

{Pregnancy Update} 33 weeks

I'm finally nearing the end of this pregnancy and.....{drum roll please} I've ditched the crutches! I'm still not entirely 100% but it's better than being attached to those annoying things 24/7.

Nesting is in full swing. I've been cleaning stuff out, trashing stuff, and selling stuff. Especially now that I can actually walk! It's liberating to have a clean house again!

I almost have his little baby nook all done too {post coming soon}. Getting all the bags ready for the hospital {post coming soon too} It's all going so fast and life is about to change drastically! It's totally blowing my mind! Can't wait to see his little face and smell that new baby smell.

Baby is about 4 pounds {about the size of a pineapple} and he's passed the 17-inch mark. His skeleton is hardening and he's quickly losing the wrinkled alien look.

I officially can't wear my wedding ring now. My feet are puffy and swollen and I can't fit into most of my shoes. AND my belly button has been sticking out for weeks. My cravings are still the same. Cheeseburgers are a constant for me but rarely get to have them. Dessert is another weakness. All my ideas of eating healthy during this pregnancy went out the window a long time ago. I tried I really did. But nothing I planned on for this pregnancy has happened. So I throw my hands up. I'm not the boss! :)

My only favorite thing about all of this has been feeling my baby move around. He kicks all the time mostly when people try to talk to him or touch my belly. He's already so protective of me. {Or that's what I tell myself at least}

.......Until next time. Hopefully I can get more posts up before baby comes.
