The wee beastie is now quite proficient at making all sorts of interesting facial expressions, which include scowling and frowning, getting in some much-needed practice for when they become a teenager and the first time you tell them they can't borrow the car.
While she's growing, so is your belly. Your uterus is expanding from your pelvis into your abdomen area. Celebrate! It's time to shop! Now is the time to get your blossoming body into some maternity clothing. Take a shopping trip – just remember this wardrobe only has to see you through the next few months of pregnancy and possibly through the first year of post-pregnancy. Despite what you see in the tabloids, you most likely won't get right back into your skinny jeans immediately after delivery…sorry!.
Despite the massive amounts of hormones circulating in your body, try to focus on some smart shopping. Knowing what basics to get early on can make life easier. For now, get yourself a good pair of jeans with an expandable waist, a few t-shirts, a pair of black pants with an expandable waist and a white shirt. These few pieces can be mixed and matched along with all of your cardigans and accessories to make multiple outfits. A nice wrap dress can also work wonders for most of your pregnancy. Depending on the cut and style, it could be something you can wear after the delivery.
