Where did July go?! I missed my last update {24 weeks} because I was somewhere between Croatia, German and Portugal. So here we are – already at 26 weeks! I feel like I say this every post…but seriously you guys, it’s going by so fast.
The bump went through a little growth spurt since 22 weeks. I went from people barely noticing I was preggers to people asking if it’s a boy or girl in a matter of days! Luckily the rest of me stayed pretty much the same size and I’m still able to fit into cute non-maternity dresses, of course with a little stretch.
I wore this dress to dinner one night in Portugal. Drop waist dresses don’t usually look great on me, but with this belly, somehow it works! Unfortunately, I totally forgot the accessories I had already paired with this dress. The red goes so well with golds and turquoise accents bracelets and earrings. It also gives it a more beachy, vacation feel.
How far along? 26 Weeks
