I got this dress at Burlington Coat Factory a couple weeks ago and I love it. It is not maternity but I did have to size up to a 1X because of the baby bump but it was cheap and oh so comfortable.

  On another note, does anyone have any ideas how to treat heartburn besides Tums? All the sudden I am getting heartburn twice a day and it is really getting on my nerves. I know it is a very common pregnancy symptom in the third trimester so it has sprung up right on target but I cannot deal with two more months of this...help me.

Red Light

Yesterday was my 29 week ultrasound and Baby A is weighing 2 pounds, 10 ounces and Baby B is 3 pounds, 5 ounces. My doctor seemed a little concerned with the weight difference and said I actually needed to up my calories and start eating more to try and even the twins out. They have always been a little different in size, but twin B has really jumped ahead in the past two weeks and twin A has barely grown. I am actually losing weight at this point and that was another big concern. Basically the twins are sucking everything out of me and she said I will start to feel really drained and dizzy and could start passing out in the future unless I start eating more. I have to start eating 5 small meals a day instead of the typical breakfast, lunch and dinner thing and in addition eat a handful of nuts or the nuts and dried fruit combo every hour to an hour and a half. I have been feeling fine up until this point so that really shocked me but I am going to do what she says (obviously).

  On a positive note, Baby A has a headful (or tuffs) of hair! We got an ultrasound picture of his hair blowing in the breeze and it is the cutest thing ever. We couldn't ever tell if Baby B has hair because he is literally laying on Baby A's stomach right now sideways in my belly. We did get to see him blowing air bubbles into the amniotic fluid while he was practicing his breathing though which was super cute.

Comfort Statement, Not A Fashion Statement

 I've had to make a few fashion compromises because I can no longer squeeze these feet into stylish shoes.  I'm officially making a comfort statement- not a fashion statement with my shoe selection from here until the end of my pregnancy.  I went to WalMart and bought the cheapest neutral flats I could find ($9.97) and ended up going up to a size 9...I usually wear a size 7.5.  I have not tried on my boots yet but pray I can fit into at least one pair for two more months.  

I know that palm leaf print is normally more summer related but I loved the colors of this dress so much I wore it anyways.  Stretchy shift dresses are going to be my saving grace going into the colder seasons, I can't wait to start adding layers so this bump doesn't appear so huge:)

Stripey Bump Love

Whew, you guys...I worked a ten hour patient day yesterday and this mommy is worn the hell out! Thank goodness today is my Friday cause I need to rest, relax and let my feet and ankles get back to a somewhat normal size.

 I should have known my love for all things striped would carry over to my maternity style, like this top for instance. Horizontal stripes are all over every maternity store I have browsed in, which is ironic considering they are supposed to make you look the biggest. Until maternity stores figure out a way to make you look slimmer during pregnancy I will continue to wear stripes.

Casual Baby Bump Style

I originally bought this dress to wear as a dress but surprise, surprise...it is now more of a tunic length thanks to my expanding belly. Since it still fits I decided to wear my boyfriend jeans with it and I like the outcome more than I thought I would.

  Yesterday we bought our infant carriers (these are the exact ones) it just makes this pregnancy more and more real!

On The Road Again

I got back in town last night from my jam packed weekend at home with my family. I feel like we got so much accomplished (baby registry at location #2 down, bedding ordered, Nordstrom anniversary sale shopping, lots of eating out and one day dedicated to pool lounging). My mom and sister bought the babies so many things over the weekend...I need to go home more often:)

So the best thing about working at a ophthalmologist office is all the brand new sunglasses we get in every season.  These newbies are by designer Jonathan Cate and I am in love with the style.  My boss and I both snatched them up when our rep was in the office showing all the different sunnies.  I couldn't find the exact pair to link them but I linked to some similar pairs below.

Off Day Style

Just a quick outfit post because this future momma is exhausted. Yesterday was my day off and I dressed comfortable knowing I had to be on my feet the majority of the day. Dentist and lady doctor in the morning and a total of THREE HOURS between registering for the twins and picking out a paint color for the nursery.

  Whew!

If The Shoe Fits...

How stinking adorable is this handkerchief tank top!  I am dying over the quirkiness of it...it is the ultimate summer top.  I can just imagine wearing it with jean cut-offs and Converse and a more classic look with white jeans.  

I hope y'all are not tired of me wearing billowy tops yet, I just cannot seem to wear tight, belly baring stuff...I'm not quite there.  I obviously knew that I was going to gain weight while pregnant but I didn't expect to be so weirded out by it. I have had to diet pretty constantly from high school on and I have fluctuated up and down for years so to see the numbers on the scale continuously going up...it's doing crazy things to my body image.  Last Thursday at my doctors appointment my doctor told me I was to gain a minimum of one pound per week until I deliver...ONE POUND WEEKLY.  I left secretly thrilled with those "doctors orders"- I mean, I have never in all my life been told I needed to gain weight!  Of course I am planning to do it the healthy way and not gorge myself with candy, ice cream and pizza (bummer, right).  A little ice cream can't hurt though;)

Eliza J Shift Dress

 I love this dress I received from Gwynnie Bee over the weekend! It is the perfect colors for this time of year and combined with the boat neck and the geo and stripe print I felt like I should be on a boat or doing something very nautical.

 Thank goodness for stretch-knit fabrics and shift dresses because I was really worried I might have to end my Gwynnie Bee clothing rental service and everyone knows how much I love it. I decided to stick with it and I have started to order one size up (depressing) and have also been picking dresses that don't have a defined waist or zippers and if I can keep find dresses like this one, I am going to be one fashionable pregnant lady!

Abstract Prints...

 This is the perfect summer dress! The fabric is lightweight and with the drawstring waist you can make it as tight or loose as you want. Nothing I hate worse than being in the heat of 90 degree weather with my clothes sticking to me...anyone else??

Wear Your Pajamas To Work Day

 Pajama pants are my new favorite and since these particular ones are also animal print, they are pretty much the best thing ever! I have had these Old Navy pants for months and couldn't figure out which top to wear them with...it was hard for me for some reason. I finally tried them on again last night and was determined to make them work. I cant believe I waited so long to wear my "pajamas" to work.

I linked to some similar options below, go out and get you some...pure bliss.
