Since I don’t have any friends that are my size I had to buy new maternity clothes.  I have been trying to hit up Old Navy when they have sales so I can rack up on essentials.  All of my friends that are pregnant or were pregnant are smaller than me.  Yea for me!  That’s okay because it gives me something to look forward to, something both new and pretty.  Since I am in a stage in life where it is very easy to feel FAT and UGLY, I am enjoying a few things to make me feel better about myself.

However, I’m still waiting for all of the wonderfully adorable dresses to hit the stores, because I plan on wearing mostly light and airy dresses this summer.  Yep, that’s right folks….I’m gonna be pregnant, in Memphis, during the dead of the summer.  I am just thankful that my in-laws have a pool that stays a chilly 80 degrees during the summer (they have a lot of trees shading the pool).  I will be spending quite a bit of time in those frigid waters during the dog days of summer.

Now all I have to decide is what type of awesome maternity swimsuit I plan on wearing.  I think pregnant women, in all their big bellied glory, are adorable in maternity swimsuits.  Don’t you?

So here are a few of my maternity basics so  far…

Old Navy & Motherhood

I think I left out a few tanks and a basic pair of black dress pants, but you know what those look like.

I would like to introduce you to a wonderful little girls clothing line called Whitten Grey.  Whitten Grey designs environmentally friendly organic clothing that is playful, sophisticated, and age appropriate.  Through a program they call Project Grey Dress the company found a way to give back through the sale of their clothing by providing a dress, free of charge, to a girl in need with every WG dress bought.  This up and coming company has been mentioned on well known websites such as Brides.com and Daily Candy.
