WIW - Running out of gas

Sara L.

Veteran

I'm running out of gas in putting outfits together. It's hard to find things that still fit and are comfortable. I still feel pretty good though. I'm uncomfortable (who isn't at 37 weeks?) but I still have a pretty good energy level and I don't find working to be a problem.

#1/2 - Denim skirt with scarf and loafers. I look sort of lopsided here, but that's because the baby has run out of room and now every bump and lump shows.
#3/4 - I had a site meeting and needed boots that could get muddy. The length on these pants isn't quite right anymore but it was fine a couple months ago.
#5 - Polka dot shirt and capris.

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

You look great! Love that green top on you, and your site visit look is fine!

You look terrific! I especially like the green outfit. So fab and fun. Best yet, you still have energy!! And yeah, by 37 weeks, discomfort seems to be the norm

Hang in there, three weeks will go fast.

You are looking great and such a trooper! I think the site visit outfit is perfect--you look very appropriate. Love the green on you too. I'm pretty sure I gave up somewhere around the half way mark. I remember wearing the same things over and over. In fact, I had an associate tell me jokingly (I think) that he would be happy to never see my maternity clothes again too.

Is that a cat auto feeder I spy in the background? I've been eyeing one of those for vacation.

Hang in there. You are looking fab.

Sara, I can hardly believe how great you look so close to your due date. You are a wonder! Love that green top on you, by the way.

By the time I was in your place I was rotating 2 outfits and the only shoes I could get on my feet were rain boots and berks. So I think you look spectacular!

Home stretch! You look great! So glad you don't find working a strain.

I've only been pregnant once (20 years ago!), but I remember being perplexed that a lot of maternity wear no longer fit after I gained about 20 pounds. What is that about? In my thinking, maternity wear should still fit after a 25 or 30 pound weight gain. I can see one could easily outgrow clothes if one is having multiples, but c'mon.

Sara, I admire your ability to keep making the most of an increasingly limited wardrobe and changing body. These looks are great --- particularly the green outift!

Ditto Beth Ann and I always love a fur baby shot. You look fab!

kellygirl - We originally bought the automatic feeder for vacations but ended up using it all the time. It keeps our kids from overfeeding the cat. She's one of those animals that always acts like she's starving so the kids were always feeding her. Now the feeder feeds her and although she still acts like she's starving, they know that she's been fed and doesn't need more.

Love 1, 2 & 5. Admit 3 & 4 strikes me as just basic, but there's nothing wrong with that. I think at this point you *should* just recycle outfits. I would!

I think you look great. Cannot believe you have only three weeks to go, the time seems to have flown (maybe not for you?). The green top with the polka dots is stunning on you.

You are still looking cool and smartly put together. Like others, my favourite is the last outfit. I hope you continue to feel well and strong Sara. Penny

Wow Sara, you look great! Love the green outfit! Your belly is so cute! Coming down to the home stretch! How are you feeling? Bag packed? When do you get off work? Hang in there, not long now!

Natalie - Bag is mostly packed and the baby stuff is out of the attic and mostly organized. Still feeling pretty good - I'm lucky to have had an easy pregnancy.

I get off work when the baby is born (I did the same thing with my other pregnancies). My husband isn't working now so we need every extra penny. We do fine on one paycheck but there's no room for extras. In one way it's nice he's home to take the kids to school, soccer practice, run errands, etc., but the extra paycheck is nice too.

You look wonderful, and that you're getting pretty close to ready. I'm impressed that you still have the energy to get dressed and take WIW shots! Way to go! (And get as much rest as you can!)
