How would you describe your pregnancy style? Romper-life! While I thought I was a big fan of adult onesies before, pregnancy has brought on a whole new level of appreciation for this style of clothing that says “Girl, if I could be wearing pajamas right now, I would, but I can’t so I’m going to wear this adult onesie and pretend I’m cool and fashion forward.”

Have you had any challenges learning to dress your body during this pregnancy? So many! Especially in the first and second trimester when it seemed my hips and butt were expanding faster than my bump. I found it challenging to figure out whether to go oversize and risk looking bigger or bodycon to embrace my new curves. Which wasn’t easy at first! I love my giant belly now that I’m well into my 3rd trimester though and love to show it off!

So far, what has surprised you most during this pregnancy? How strong this baby is! He’s constantly moving and with purpose. As the second babe, I imagine him saying “I will not be ignored!”

What are you most looking forward to sharing with your baby? I can’t wait to share our life with him! We’re so lucky to have an amazing family, friends and community and I can’t wait to share him with everyone! Especially the amazing big brother who has been patiently waiting for him. You guys will all babysit right?
