137 grow baby

Shoes: c/o Blowfish, Dress: H&M, Necklace: Consignment, Bag: c/o LeMode
I am slowly beginning to outgrow my regular clothes. This baby boy is a healthy little muffin. Toting around said healthy muffin in 100 degree mid-west weather is beginning to be an adventure in clothing land. {adventure = a socially acceptable way of saying I'd rather be naked}

I am currently 23 weeks and am amazed that this baby still has at least 5 lbs to go. Thanks abs for being so stretchy and letting baby play you like his little drum. You're awesome.

I don't know why you were worried about the houndstooth/turquoise combo - it looks GREAT! That necklace is fab.

Linda Rose July 27, 2011 10:30 AM  

oh my gosh, it is SO hot here in the midwest! i've been jealous of you wearing pants and stuff back in Idaho. But adding a muffin into the mix makes the heat worse! Drink lots of fluids dear! Keep that muffin hydrated!

Ruby Girl July 27, 2011 10:32 AM  

ah ha i just love your writing style. and the houndstooth + turquoise combo is loverly!! <3 rubygirlblog.com

AJD ∞ July 27, 2011 10:32 AM  

Girl. You are like the tiniest pregnant lady I have ever seen. Adorable. I hope the Midwest heat/humidity isn't TOO unbearable. Having grown up in it, I know it's brutal. Note: "having grown up in"... Yeah. I left that humidity + heat as soon as was humanly possible!!

The Flightless Darling July 27, 2011 10:36 AM  

These pics are adorably precious :) & what a lovely dress to pair!

LaynahRose July 27, 2011 11:00 AM  

haha the comment that said to wear a bathing suit as a tank top loophole made me laugh.

ive heard it is really good exercise to swim while pregnant though, because buoyancy takes most of the weight (and therefore pressure) off of your pelvis! I think I want to live in a pool while pregnant.

Sara B July 27, 2011 11:06 AM  

You still have the cutest figure and body with that baby bump!

OH DEAR. Hot diggity. I think this is the first time I've commented, but have been reading for a long time. It's just that you look stunning and adorable. I am so wanting to be 23 weeks preggo with my second right this second, so as to attempt to look half as cute as you in a body hugging dress. Just lovely.

Jennifer July 28, 2011 11:19 PM  

Confession: whenever I see one of your outfits on Pinterest, I get so excited and think, "I know her!!" But in real life, I don't know you at ALL - I've just been following your blog since, like, last winter. Also...I have never been huge into fashion, but I love your approach (am I right to describe it as "wear what you love and own it"?), and I've started thinking more carefully and less often about my appearance, which has been a total confidence boost. So...thanks! Oh, and I love your personal style/personality, candor, and...well, this is kind of a different category, but also your design and photography. You're amazing :) Oh, also, I'm moving to D.C. next month, so I'll be watching extra close for what you write about it...
