Thrifty Wife Happy Life

It’s hard to believe I’m 38 weeks pregnant.  Baby could be here at any time.  I never know when will be my last maternity post.  I know I say this each week, but dressing a 9-month baby bump is hard.  I swear it gets harder each week, but at least I don’t have much longer to go. 

This weekend Kevin and I spent the entire weekend together.  We are enjoying our last couple of weeks as just a married couple with no kids.  I know that our lives will never be the same once we become parents, that’s why it’s nice that we have had some time to just appreciate our life as just the 2 of us. Don’t get me wrong, we can’t wait to be a family of three, but our little weekend outings together have helped pass the time while we wait for our little boy.  On Saturday we got free tickets to a magic show on the strip and Sunday we had a 2 person super bowl party.   

Here are my outfits from the weekend. 

Blazer- Kohl’s 

Shirt- Kohl’s 

Jeans- Old Navy

Shoes- DSW

Here’s my baby bump picture for 38 weeks.  I’m trying to stay patient and wait for this little guy’s birthday to get here, but sometimes it’s hard.  My belly is bigger than ever.  Work is definitely getting to be draining, but I’m proud of myself for powering through.  Staying busy has really helped me get through these last couple of weeks.

Have a great week!!

Another week down, another 3 more to go….hopefully only 3 more.  I’m getting to the end of dressing my baby bump.  Putting together cute maternity outfits has not only helped me pass the time while waiting for my baby to arrive, it has also helped me feel good about myself while I’m pregnant.  I just feel confident when I’m wearing something that I feel good in, even on those days that I feel like a complete whale, if I have on a cute outfit, it helps brighten my mood.

Here are my weekend outfits.

Here’s my baby bump picture for the week.  It’s almost time, yet I feel like it’s so far away still.  Not much has changed since last week.  This week my biggest fear has been that I’m going to go way past my due date.  The hardest thing about being pregnant is that nothing is in black and white.  Some babies come early and some come late.  I just need to relax and not think about it.  My baby will be here when he’s ready.  No one can predict how their pregnancy will go, and that’s just something that I need to accept.  Overall, I’m healthy and feel as good as one can feel during their 9th month of pregnancy.

Have a great week!!

 

It’s officially my last month of pregnancy!  So that means only a few more weekend wardrobe post with maternity outfits.  I’ve really enjoyed dressing up my baby bump, but now I’m really looking forward to getting my body back and putting together normal outfits.  I can’t wait until I can start rediscovering all the clothes in my closet that I haven’t been able to wear for a long time.  For now, I’m going to have to continue working to dress my baby bump, I’m sure I’ll have days when I miss it. 

So here are my weekend outfits this week. 

As I said last week, getting dressed is getting to be a challenge.  It’s not only difficult finding outfits, but it’s hard to find the energy to look cute.  I still feel like it’s important to try to dress cute through these last few weeks.  It helps me have better confidence in myself and confidence is important when your pregnant, especially in your last month.

Last weekend I used a gift card I got for Christmas on a couple new tops from Nordstrom Rack, my new favorite store.  Nordstrom is my favorite department store, but I don’t always get a chance to shop there. Plus, it takes a lot of trips to the department store to find the great deals that I’m always looking for.  That’s why their Rack store is amazing!  It’s all the great styles and brands that the department store sells, at such great prices.  I bought a grey print tunic tank top for $9.54 and a striped long cardigan for $11.54.  Any clothes that I buy now, I’m also hoping to wear them after the baby comes.  This is why I will only buy loose-fitting, comfy clothes. 

Since I spent most of my weekend lounging around the house, getting it ready for the baby, I wore my new comfortable clothes.

Here are my outfits from this weekend

Grey Cardigan- H&M

Tunic- Nordstrom Rack

Leggings- Forever 21

Shoes- DSW

Here is my baby bump picture for week 35.  I feel huge!  I’ve been feeling a little moody lately.  My moods have been pretty normal all throughout my pregnancy and now I feel like the hormones must be catching up to me.  I’ve also been feeling extremely uncomfortable, which makes sleeping hard for me.  I think I may have set the record for how many bathroom trips I take during the night.  With the lack of sleep, I’ve been losings my energy levels during the day.  On a positive note, I’m getting so close to my due date that it’s hard to believe that I’ll be holding my little boy in my arms before I know it!  I’m getting pretty anxious to meet this little guy.  I cannot wait!

Have a great week!
