If there’s one thing that has been consistent during my pregnancy, it’s been my need to wear simple, comfortable clothes (and heartburn, but we’ll talk about that later). So I’ve been wearing these leggings and boots on repeat and trying to make lots of my existing clothing items work (I can’t stomach the idea of buying clothes I’ll only wear for the next couple months). Waterfall cardigans are also one of my favorite maternity items because the cut/angles bring the illusion of added height—highlighting this large growing belly while hiding my growing hips. 😉

I’ll share more honest thoughts about pregnancy and body image in an upcoming Self Talk post, but wanted to say thank you, again, for all of your genuine comments on my infertility post. I’ve never felt so accepted by you and it’s so eye-opening because I feared for so long that opening up would do the opposite. Instead, we are connecting about REAL LIFE and it’s so refreshing!
