33 weeks
Today Ham is the size of a pineapple.
I've really needed my back brace this week. Everything aches, especially my hips in the morning. A lot of what I want to do is complain. For example: I pretty much peed my pants because my husband made me laugh too hard. Wee. In pants. Bleh, my body has been hijacked.
However, I think it's important to remember how amazing being pregnant really is if you can see the forest for the trees. You are growing a tiny person who is genetically half you. Totally mind blowingly bogus. Also, I try to remember there are women who cannot conceive; I don't want to take this for granted. So I try not to complain about the hurts, the bladder, tiredness, hunger, or the kicks in the rib. OK, maybe I whinge the tiniest bit to my husband, but only so he will do the washing up.
The hounds tooth cardigan is by +J.Crew, the shirt by +H&M, and the jeans by A Pea in the Pod.
My earrings were made by another one of my crafty friends. Last Christmas she was giving these out as creative little gifts. They are the tips of deer antlers, cut off, and dipped in black dye for an ombre look. I don't know if you could make these in the UK; there aren't as many deer horns laying around.

There is still something for everyone in this collection be it casual, trendy, or formal evening wear. It might surprise you.

New Look Wishlist
New Look has a great, affordable, maternity line with ample selection. It's on trend; not too matronly.
I guess I'm feeling the Aztec print at the moment. I really love the print and colors in the red Aztec T, and at £9.99 it's a no brainer.
THIS! I love the studded top back pack and couldn't resist a last minute addition.
Last week I did a blog post about what to buy a preggo for Christmas and featured a starter set from +New Look. This is basically the same but more, so even better! It's a perfect essentials pack for any pregnant lady; it has all the basics you will need.

American Apparel Wishlist
American Apparel doesn't technically have a maternity line, but there are a lot of trendy staples and accessories that could fit in your pregnancy wardrobe and flatter your bump. Maternity doesn't have to mean matronly, you can still be sexy and stylish.
Printed Twist Scarf (£15)- My favorite kind of scarf! They stay put and keep the hair out of my face.
Turtleneck Dress (£22)- I'm a sucker for a curve hugging black turtleneck.
Cat Eye Sunglasses (£30) Oo la la
Wooden Sandal (£80)- I said no heels but these look stable, pair them with girly socks!
Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress (£36)- A great basic.
**Note: I do realize that the black turtleneck dress, if worn by a pregnant body, would likely either not fit right or would be stretched beyond recognition. I may or may not be in denial about my lack of a waistline. **
Chiffon A Line Maxi (£58)- Glamorous and flattering
Printed Babydoll Dress (£54)- Pretty and bump accommodating.
Fleece Crop Top (£23) - Crop tops are ideal for layering during your pregnancy.
Taux Demin Braided Belt (£12)- The perfect maternity belt
Pink Lip Leggings (£24)- I love this pattern!
