recovering from labor has been a slow process. i’ve mainly been wearing sweatpants since my regular jeans don’t quite fit yet and i refuse to wear my maternity jeans. we’ve gotten out of the house a lot over the past few days and i’ve tried exceptionally hard to get dressed up and put on makeup. it’s amazing what a little bit of mascara and foundation can do to your mood.

i found this top at target and it’s great for nursing. i actually got it in two different patterns because it’s so convenient (it’s also on sale this week!). the knit cardigan is from gap outlet a long time ago and the leggings that you can’t see are from boston store. i also just recently got these boots from steve madden.

momma’s- what postpartum style advice do you have?

oh guys- i’m slightly ashamed to share my lack of inspiration to get dressed lately. i’ve managed to pull it together somewhat at work with leggings and long sweaters (that have turned into short shirts), but the second i get home or head to the doctor.. out come the sweats and t-shirts.

yesterday was my last day of work and as soon as i got home i changed into sweats and was too lazy to change my top, so i left my jersey knit dress from old navy on. i bought it last summer and it has been one of my go-to outfits over the past few months.

it gets worse.. last friday i ran into town to get a few things and left my sweats from college on. i tried to make myself feel a little bit better by bringing one of my new wristlets with, which really tied the outfit together (wink, wink). 

and lastly, to document my lack of pregnancy style and to give you a little insight into how it feels to be 6’3”- here’s a snapshot of my long little legs hanging out at the hospital. my yoga pants from lululemon have been my favorite and most comfortable thing to wear, along with my pink moccasins from sperry.

as you can see, my baby bump is growing quickly! i’m definitely feeling that i look pregnant now. i’m enjoying this stage of the pregnancy and other than being a little extra tired- i’m feeling wonderful. my weight is a little higher than i would like, so i’m trying to monitor what i eat a little more. it’s been difficult with my favorite food season right around the corner. if only i could survive on tailgate food, pumpkin recipes, and apple pie.

nolan’s nursery is coming along nicely, just need to decide what color curtains we want to put up. then i’ll be able to start getting things on the walls and it will be close to done. my mom is making him a beautiful quilt that i can’t wait to display over his crib.
