Confessions of a pregnant woman - week 30: Wardrobe dillemma

10 weeks to go. Some periods it felt like time stood still, but luckily it hasn't :-) However the further I get, the heavier I become. I've never carried so much weight before and I can feel it in my legs, back and etc. And the more weight I gain, the more difficult it is to find something to wear. It's weird how they only sell tunikas and such in the maternity department. It's like there is this hidden agenda where retailers suddenly want you to become "sugary hippie sweet" because you have a bump. Well, I've never been a tunika person so you could say that I'm having a bit of fit at the moment.  So my maternity wardrobe mostly consist of oversized clothing: plain said, normal clothes just in bigger size.

Here is a pic of me on one of my very few outings where hubby manage to kodak the moment:

Ballerina flats from DIn Sko, chinos from Topshop, top from Zara, blazer from DKNY, scarf from H&M and bag from Mulberry.

Confessions of a pregnant woman - week 28: Final leg, 3rd trimester

Maxi dress from Bikbok

The final leg. It's like running a marathon (or so I imagine). Every muscle in your body hurts and you just want to give up, but as you come up to the final mile you somehow find the strength to keep on going.  I'm pretty much right up to this point. But enough said about the struggle. I have given it enough space as it is and positivity is my main motto these days.

The sun is more eager these days and I can finally step outside the door without being afraid of sliding on the ice. For a while there I walked the streets like a penguin. Now I just walk like an elephant, bigger but steadier steps. It may not seem like it, but it is a vast improvement from the penguin walk. On another account, the sun is also actually enabling me to enjoy some fresh air even on the days where I can't get out of the apartment. Post noon you can usually see me dragging myself out on the balcony with my big steady steps, slightly moving from side to side due to dizziness, and lounging myself on one of the chairs. An added bonus is if the baby starts kicking, then you see me lounging on one of the chairs with a big smile on my face. And lastly you might catch me lounging in this pretty dress soon:

Confessions of a pregnant woman - 23 weeks

I have come to terms with the known fact that I will be spending a lot of time in my apartment for the rest of my pregnant state. As my doctor pointed out, I'm still not getting any better. It's still very exhausting, but looking on the bright side, I know it's temporarily. With every tiny movement that's happening in my stomach, it's becoming more evident that life is growing in there. This can brighten any difficult day.

On the emotional plan I'm still a bit of a wreck, and getting worse every day. I lie awake most of the night due to back pains and that's when things hit me. I'm having baby. Me and my husband will be responsible for another human being. So many questions derive from that. I don't even know where to start. We have been discussing everything from serious matters like savings for our future child to more trivial conversations like the color of the stroller. It's overwhelming, or truthfully really scary, hence me walking around the apartment looking like I wreck. On the verge of becoming an adult, last week I sought comfort in a childhood game, playing dress up. With makeup and heels on I felt ready to take on the world, although the heels went off after five minutes and the rest of the afternoon was spent in bed.

13.01.11 - Preggy lady

I'm lying in bed, which by the way has been my residence for the last couple of weeks. In the midst of my dizziness, nausea and feverish state (and a tiny bit of frustration), I'm trying to get the strength to write a couple of words. Don't get me wrong, I am soooo happy to be pregnant, but I wish I could actually go a day without the need to spend it in bed or the bathroom. Apparently it was suppose to get better after 12 weeks, but haven't seen the light in the tunnel yet. 

Instead of venting out, which I maybe already too late for, I opt for web shopping to cheer me up. Fashion can still be fun even with a little bump. Here are some of the items I'm ordering from Topshop:

Maternity Elastic dress

Maternity Moto Vintage Denim

Maternity Navy Breton Stripe Tunic

Sequin heart front top

Feeling better already :-) Well, it might be a while until my next post, but now you know why.
