We're having a baby! I'm due at the beginning of August. It wasn't totally planned but we're really excited.
I still plan to keep this blog mostly focused on fashion / Anthro, but I'll share some occasional baby updates and you'll see my bump get bigger as I try to retain the essence of my usual style. Any tips on maternity wear, maternity fashion blogs, or just any pregnancy-related links or advice you found useful are welcome! :-) Fashion-wise, I'm excited that one of my favorite bloggers, S. from Academichic is also pregnant (and only about 2 weeks ahead of me) so I'll be able to get some inspiration from her and the archives of one of her co-bloggers E. who documented her pregnancy fashion two years ago.
I'm not showing much yet and still able to wear all of my regular clothes. I think stretchy dresses like this one will soon be my preferred choice though!
Here's a little bump shot. I'm exaggerating it a bit here. I've never had a flat stomach (even when I was thin). Sometimes it sticks out a bit but mostly you can't really tell yet.
It will be fun sharing my journey with all of you!
OMG...congratulations to you and your hubby, Debbie! How exciting as you guys enter this new chapter of your life. Please please please give us updates! I love hearing about wonderful pregnancy stories!

ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Such an exciting time. Seems like a great year to be pregnant in fashion too; lots of flowy styles this year. I can't wait to see your outfits. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Debbie, such wonderful news! Enjoy your pregnancy and keep us posted :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Debbie!!! That is so exciting! I agree with Cindi - I can't wait to read all of your updates!! All the best to you guys during this special time! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Hooray for you!
ReplyDeleteAww, that's such exciting news Debbie! Congratulations to you and your husband! Like the other girls, I would love to hear updates any time you feel like sharing them with us :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats again Debbie! Let me know and I will dig out my maternity clothes if you want to use them. I can't wait to find out what you're having, I've already been looking at baby stuff! :) Sydney will be so excited to have a playmate.
ReplyDeleteWow, what great news Debbie! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Debbie! That's wonderful news. I'm excited to see pictures of your growing belly. I mostly wore clothes I already had and bought a couple of pairs of maternity pants towards the end.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Debbie! That is so exciting! I can't wait to follow your journey! If you have any questions or need any advice, please feel free to ask me. I been through it 3 times! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYay! That is such wonderful news! Congratulations to you, Debbie, and your husband! I look forward to seeing your baby updates. Have fun and enjoy this time in your life!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats! Can I ask a personal question? What year are you in grad school? I assume later? (e.g. ABD) I'm in grad school too and we're talking about when to start a family.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you!
Thanks for all the sweet comments everyone! I will definitely post baby updates and bump pictures since people are interested. It will be fun seeing how my style evolves too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVictoria: Yes, I'm ABD and ideally will finish my dissertation by the end of the year. It's tough to decide when the right time is to start a family when you're in grad school. I think it's going to work out well for us but we do have lots of family nearby to help so that will make it easier.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What exciting news for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteDebbie!!! Congratulations! What wonderful news! I'm so for you and your husband! Oh, I'm just dying to meet little Debbie!!! Yay! (hmm...how many exclamation points can I fit into one comment, hahaha?) Oh, and my husband was pretty much ABD when I got pregnant and actually finished his dissertation during Rowan's first year, which is when I was still pretty much working full-time and he was home, as the primary caregiver. So, just in case you were wondering, it can be done. ^_-
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - happy and healthy 9 months to you!
ReplyDeleteTHRILLED for you!!! What wonderful, wonderful news! I can't wait to hear all the details, like if you are finding out gender and thinking about names, and how you'll decorate the nursery...ack! I love babies! And having your first is magical!

ReplyDeleteYey Debbie, a big congrats to you and your hubby on such amazing news! Can't wait to hear about the developments...

Congratulations Debbie! Being a Momma is the absolute BEST part of my life (so much so that I too am due later this yr with baby #2 but it's still too early to share with people).
