Old Navy sometimes has some great outfits (and sometimes some HORRIBLE ones). Target has some cute stuff every so often, you have to search it out, as well as certain Wal-mart stores (but I rarely had patience to look there lol). I bought a lot of stuff at Motherhood and Thyme maternity. Also online check out Zulily.com - they always have deals on some sort of maternity wear. <br />And good for you for fitting into your prom dress - that's amazing. There's no way I could even zip mine up (granted, I had mono three weeks before my grad and lost a whole bunch of weight lol).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865976481518777365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-35154810652201726112014-02-27T11:57:43.046-07:002014-02-27T11:57:43.046-07:00Wearing your prom dress after 10 years?

You still have a long way to go, and I know you’ll experience more of the "craziness" you mentioned. Just do whatever your doctor advices you to do. They know what’s best for you. Congrats on your pregnancy! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://familymedicineofsouthbend.com/" rel="nofollow">Adam Heller</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157838826090321033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-85157030465260155542014-02-26T20:49:06.872-07:002014-02-26T20:49:06.872-07:00Oh how I love you. :) And hehehee I remember those...Oh how I love you. :) And hehehee I remember those pregnancy hormones!

Now that tights are in, I would wear tights with long enough shirts or tunics that would cover your butt, bell and most of your legs. I bought stretchy and long tank tops and wore those under everything that didnt cover me properly. I was bigger in the spring so this gave me a lot of clothing options. I wore sundressed with tights underneath too. Best part, after pregnany i was able to wear those clothes again!Ashley Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219831692387163184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-23463226143616620792014-02-26T00:46:55.733-07:002014-02-26T00:46:55.733-07:00Love love your analogies of the 15 year old boys! ...Love love your analogies of the 15 year old boys! So so true. And good on you for taking everything online with a grain of salt! On maternity: Target is great, and has really good clearance usually. Old Navy is great too, but I'm not as stoked at their prices. I did get a pair of skinny maternity jeans from Old Navy and wore them every single day. But mostly I'd suggest consignment, because you'll get a great selection and great prices. Kids consignment places usually have maternity sections. (Motherhood is one expensive joke). But PLEASE wear maternity clothes when you need them. Women sometimes feel like it's bragging rights to say at 9 months pregnant that they've never worn a maternity item. And let me tell you, those women think they look much better than they actually do, hate to say it. It has nothing to do with being "skinny" or "fat" (AT ALL), pregnant bodies are just totally weird and they all need some tailored clothes, that's for sure.Nycolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442861742816500394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-61725461329370565102014-02-25T16:25:29.356-07:002014-02-25T16:25:29.356-07:00How far along are you??

I had pretty good luck at Motherhood, I got some shirts and a pair of jeans that were sooo comfy but I ended up returning them b/c I wanted dark wash ones. I went to Gap and I think I ended up with the dark skinnies and a few tanks that were so comfy and seemed like they'd stretch pretty well as I grew. A tip about Gap- if you get a bunch of stuff in one trip, get a card, you get 15% off and their card has some great deals (10% of Tuesdays) I got some unisex baby stuff too :) I did also get a plain white tshirt in Target's Maternity section but the fabric doesnt seem as quality or stretchy as Gaps. <br /><br />Good luck! I was dreading getting maternity clothes because everyone complains about it, but I LOVE them, so so comfy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531519391336408823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-39722934715547244242014-02-25T13:30:57.386-07:002014-02-25T13:30:57.386-07:00Old Navy maternity.

So maybe Target might work where H&M and Gap failed you?<br /><br />Loved reading the update!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512817941338797138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-10323027407767310192014-02-25T11:12:42.014-07:002014-02-25T11:12:42.014-07:00You are too funny :)You are too funny :)It's Sooo Fluffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253107226577514629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-19356161345444235172014-02-25T10:41:15.439-07:002014-02-25T10:41:15.439-07:00You look so cute in your bump picture.

I just had a BLAST there yesterday getting some shirts and shorts for spring. The online store has WAY more than the actual store, but both are good! The short sleeve shirts I got were $8 a piece! Who can beat that? Also, try Destination Maternity. It's a store and online. I have ordered alot from there. They have sales all the time! Thank goodness you haven't need maternity clothes yet.

I thought that was pretty nifty. I shopped from the clearance rack in the back, and I get compliments on my cute dresses and outfits all the time. Maybe you could try them.<br /><br />If you don't want to go there, then I can give you some of the promo codes that they hand out to first time moms. They're good for belly button bands (which are spectacular), nursing covers, car seat covers, nursing pillows, baby leggings- they're free except for shipping. <br /><br />Congratulations, by the way. :) Being pregnant is the most miserable thing, but I hear that babies are very cute and help make up for that fact. I've been posting about my pregnancy and it kind of helps me to deal with it all. They have funny pictures, if you want to look at them and laugh. Those Weird Heims is the name of our blog.

It's fairly inexpensive, you can find coupons on the site typically and much of the stuff you don't need to size up and you could wear it after you have the baby. I bought all my maternity stuff there especially dresses. :) And - buy a bump nest like right now! Perhaps you can get one for free if you contact them and do a review like many other bloggers. It's seriously a life saver in your second and third trimester!

Now that I know it's a boy, I want to start buying things, but there is literally no room in our current apartment, which is smaller than my CLASSROOM!! (or about the same size). As for maternity clothes, I'm starting to not fit into my pants anymore, but skirts still fit and I'm all for buying more cute maxi skirts/dresses.
