snappy casual

ultrasounds are the coolest thing ever.

when: wednesday, aug. 17, 2011

what i wore:
shirt: banana republic
dress: target (gift from my mom)
pants: hand-me-down from linda (mossimo via target)
shoes: lela rose for payless

where: work, ultrasound

as soon as mid-august hits, i am done dressing for summer. i want fall! so i rebel, piling on layers. these white jeans helped me look summery, but you can also bet i’ll be wearing them past labor day. i really like how linda styled them before shipping them to me. (thanks again, friend!)

i woke up today feeling the best i’ve felt since i found out i was pregnant. maybe it was because i knew we were leaving work early for our first ultrasound. or maybe i’m finally starting to come out of the first trimester exhaustion (i can only hope!). either way, this was the first time in about a month that i’ve felt like showering, getting dressed and wearing heels!

phew. i was starting to get worried.

week 10 of 40

when: monday, aug. 15, 2011

what i wore:
headband: forever 21
sweatshirt: wearyeti on etsy
tunic: american apparel
jeggings: american eagle
sandals: target

where: work, first baby appointment

thank you to everyone for your encouraging words after our announcement on friday! we are thrilled, but also a little scared. at this point i just feel so lucky to have an amazing husband by my side.

these photos are from last week (i’ll post my week 11 update later this week). i wore this to our first midwife appointment. i was quite nervous to go, actually. i don’t like peeing in cups (who does?) or having my blood drawn. i actually got really light-headed and blacked out when they took my blood! i woke up drenched in sweat…it was NOT pretty. thankfully, eric was there to hold my hand and drive me home.

the best part, though, was that we were able to hear our baby’s heart beat. it was so surreal and we both lit up when we heard it. it was beating at least twice as fast as mine. it’s really hard when your body doesn’t change for the first month to keep believing that there is a baby in there, and you just wonder if it’s doing ok. it was so refreshing to hear that everything looks good. i still can’t believe there is a little person in there!

even though we didn’t find out we were pregnant until almost week six, it is still crazy to think that i’m 1/4 of the way done with my first pregnancy!

and my belly has a long way to grow!
