Well, it is just slightly past midnight, so technically I am already in my 40th week – which means that I am officially due! Eek!!!
To quote “The Pregnant Husband” (whose blog I find hysterical btw)… this is what it feels like when the big day arrives and nothing happens.
I must say, he’s not too far off the money! It was hilarious looking at these vignettes nearly three months ago… less so now, once it becomes an actual depiction of your reality (although this particular clip still makes me smile).
We went for our weekly check-up today with the doc, who basically said – well, if nothing happens by tomorrow (due date), then come in the day after, and we’ll see how we go. At this point, I suppose the primary objective is to keep a closer watch, which doesn’t necessarily make matters any less anxious for me.
That said, I figured I might as well share a (final?) maternity look taken over the weekend. Hubby and I decided to trek over to Williamsburg (quite an easy trip given where we live). What originated as a dinner date at the Elm (Paul Liebrandt’s follow-up to Corton in Tribeca, more on that later!) eventually morphed into a whole-day expedition of exploring baby boutiques in the heart of hipster-land. Naturally, I’ve got nesting on my mind, so I savor kiddy shopping inspirations with the same fervor & vengeance that I ordinarily reserve for sample sales! I’ll eventually draw up a list of the Williamsburg babes stores we hit up and share it on the blog.
These days, I’m definitely carrying a lot more weight – and feeling heavier & sluggish. Though overall, I try not to let that weigh me down (quite literally) when I’m prepping to go out. It doesn’t help to dress like a schlump when you feel like one! Plus, I wanted to bring a little bit of that street and gamine element to my style. It was Williamsburg after all!
Who knows – perhaps my next outfit post will be focused on post-partum & nursing style! Stay tuned.
