Maternity Clothing Fashion Show

I am writing this blog for two reasons 1) My brother's fiance reminded me of how absolutely awful I have been at blogging and 2) I went on a birthday maternity clothing shopping trip with my mom today which totally solicited a maternity clothing fashion show and some much needed belly pictures!
I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and the baby is for sure a little girl! I do not have a name picked out for sure but I really like Sophie and Eleanor (Ellie for short). I'm leaning more towards Eleanor because Sophie has been so popular in recent years but who knows what I will think after she is born. She definitely has an affinity for sugar; every time I eat anything sugary she will do somersaults in my belly for a good half hour.
As for me, I'm rarely ever feeling any morning sickness or headaches. I have started to get a little bit of heartburn and back pain but the medication (for heartburn) and the massage therapy (for back pain) that my doctor prescribed me is helping a lot! I am feeling quite large, even though I don't really look like I am 6 months pregnant... but it is definitely the biggest I have ever been! I got a job at Sterlings, a family owned restaurant here in the tri-cities, and have been trained and will be working breakfast and lunch at their new location (opening this Monday!!) I am still working on getting back into the winery but we'll see if that ever pans out. I definitely miss Terra Blanca and am going to have to visit soon!
Well, enough writing.. here's the fashion show!!

A VERY pretty dress I fell in love with from Motherhood Maternity and got a pretty good deal on after I spent way too much on work pants.










One of the shirts that mom bought me from Ross Dress for Less (we got everything around $10 per shirt)











Another one from Ross, the neckline is really pretty.. you just can't tell.. Mom was more concerned with the belly then showing off the shirts.










Another one from Ross












The back of another one from Ross, the front is below!












SUPER colorful!












A shirt mom had bought me for Christmas












A shirt that I bought myself while in Memphis at Target... showing off the bump!











One that I bought a while back from Ross and then broke the wooden ring that connects the straps to the back of the shirt... recently FIXED by handyman Alicia and some Krazy Wood Glue









Another shirt I bought from Ross a while back... bummed you can't really tell how cute the neckline is. It kind of reminds me of a tux shirt.










One mom bought me for Christmas, with help from Vicki, my brother's fiance











Standard black tee-shirt that I had to get for training at Sterlings











This is actually a shirt I bought prior to getting pregnant... after getting pregnant, I'm pretty sure it's a maternity shirt. Whoops!
