but you probably are.
in the past few weeks, i have been thrilled to find out that NINE beautiful ladies in my life are expecting baby number two. aka. elastic waist band fashion - the sequel.
so i figured we should probably discuss the hawt pregnant mom look. because apparently in about 2-3 more months, you will all be wearing paneled elasticized pants, sweating and complaining about being pregnant in the hottest summer months while marcus and i are beat boxing at the closest splash pad or frolicking at the beach.
so congratulations to all my favourite beauties with child. remember the rules to staying hot during pregnancy:
1. invest in amazing bras. your boobs are the best part of pregnancy and post-partum. work it out + don't cheap out. omg just typing that made me remember that when he was born mine were a 32d. that is no lie. glory days of my bustline.
2. wear mascara. on your worst day when you can't stop vomitting and aren't sure how you will get to work. just.put.on.mascara. then. when your boss pulls you into a surpriseHERESTHECEONOWPRESENTYOURBIGIDEA meeting and you DON'T look like total death: thank.me.later.
3. you don't HAVE to wear maternity clothes. they are overpriced. they are ugly with a side of ugly with the exception of h&m maternity and j brand mat skinnies. i lived in printed maxi-dresses that were perfectly fitted so i didn't look like a cow with my fave jean jacket. not done up. obv. but super cute, not maternity. i think the dresses were like 15 dollars at winners. i kid you not. don't limit yourself. but also don't be the pregnant woman who is busting out of her pre-baby clothes. you know the one who is so pregnant she doesn't realize that that cute dress that she THINKS covers her bump is actually caushing a LILO moment? find the middle ground people.
4. lu.lu.lemons. the ones with the foldover waist. your ass will continue to look great [as long as you're active and healthy] and your bump will be cute as you know what.
5. lip gloss. like i'm talking splurge on the good stuff. no man can resist a woman with a hot pout. even if her ankles are swollen and her midsection is expanding by the hour.minute.second.
6. have sex. hawt mom's have sex [not i said the mouse+responsibly speaking] and that means hawt pregnant mom's have sex too. it is important to stay sexy during this chapter. it will boost your confidence. it will help balance your hormones. it will be the best cardio of your day. i think your man would agree with all of the above and if he's reading over your shoulder right now either hate on me now or again, thank me later.
so congrats to my glowing girlfriends, and stay hawt mama's - even on this part of the ride ;)
