QOTW: What is your 3rd tri wardrobe like? Fashionable or all about the comfort?

I'm 33w3d. We had our birthing class this weekend and it definitely gave me all the feels at different points when I was actually imagining being in labor with Baby Girl and having her safe with me on the outside. We had a great instructor and DH learned a lot so it was a really good experience. Just so crazy how much closer we are getting!

QOTW: I'm so over maternity pants. I really don't enjoy the full panel and the others don't stay up. I love when I can wear my maternity yoga pants when I get home because they are so much more comfy. I am glad it's almost skirt/dress season because that will make it a bit easier!

29 weeks and sooo much nesting. Nursery is coming together so well and we are almost set for clothes for baby girl thanks to consignment sales.

I am starting to feel very third tri like. Feet swelling, sore after sitting too long. Insomnia at night...

QOTW much the same as 2nd. Stretchy dresses and leggings. I love my weekends for my yoga pants though. They are my favs. I am definitely picking the moccasins and birks for shoes over other shoes

I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow! So my fluid held out and stayed the same as Friday so I get to go another week! Yay! We're scheduling my c-section for Monday or Tuesday. I'll find out tomorrow the date after my OB talks with the hospital. I'm unbelievably happy that I should get to 37 weeks. We truly did not think we would get this far with all the complications and the baby's size. They're doing another BPP, Fluid Check and NST on Friday so as long as everything is good there we will be able to wait until May 8th or 9th. I'm now getting soooo nervous!

QOTW- I have to dress somewhat decent for work so I do have some maternity slacks but on the weekends I wear t-shirts and jeans when going out. I also wear all my hubby's clothes to sleep in or lounge around the house. I haven't been able to wear real shoes for months though and wear flip flops everyday. My feet look gigantic all the time. lol

airbear916, so exciting! Keep us updated!

teachermomtobe, Thank you! We're scheduled for May 9th! I'll be exactly 37 weeks. I'm soooo excited but a little nervous too.

Thank you to everyone on TCF for all the support during IVF and pregnancy! It has really made this journey much easier.

I'm 35 weeks and 2 days. We did our maternity photo shoot this weekend. It was so much fun. This photographer will also do the newborn photos as well. I've had a pretty easy pregnancy, but I'm kind of ready to be done. I want to meet my daughter. DH surprised me with putting together the basinette and changing table together while I was at work. I need to get my hospital bag together this weekend.

QOTW: I can pretty much still fit into my old clothes except for my slacks. So my style hasn't changed much. I have a few maternity tops but they are similar to my non-pregnant style.
