THREADS // 27 WEEKS

via rootsandfeathers.com

I'm technically already just past 28 weeks, but these photos were shot around 27 weeks.  We had a sweet little date with our neighbors at our local wine bar.  We are so blessed to have such nice peeps living next to us!  I can't remember where I got this top, but I'm loving it more now that I'm pregnant... and I've had this skirt for ages.  It's been fun to dig through my closet and see what I can wear through this pregnancy.  I am about to go buy another pair of maternity jeans though for my last 3 months b/c I just can't wear my other pair I bought b/c the low band puts too much pressure on my bladder when I sit down.  They fit everywhere else.  But I love my jeans, so I'm going to indulge in one more pair. 

Now that I am in the home stretch my body is definitely changing rapidly.  Ive got aches and pains popping up & some super moody blues... But every day is different, so I'm just savoring the good ones, and resting and going with the flow on the bad ones.  Accepting it all as part of the journey.  It's so wild thinking about how different life is going to be in 3 short months!

THREADS // MAGIC CARPET

via rootsandfeathers.com

Today's threads post is all about these yummy yoga goodies from Yoga Outlet, an online shop that has all your yoga essentials in one place.  Although you definitely don't need any of this stuff to do yoga.  I've been doing it since high school when my mom would take me to class with her, all before I even had my own mat.  But it can be quite nice to have a good quality mat (especially in pregnancy), and some really comfy, stretchy, good fitting pants. 

My joints have changed through pregnancy considerably, and this new mat has been a life savor!  It's almost twice as thick as my other mats, and it's pretty much the prettiest thing I've ever seen!  These babies are made in the US, and the design is a hand-painted original by Sophie Leininger of Magic Carpet Yoga Mats.  She, among many other well known designers, sell their work on Yoga Outlet.  They have tons of different yoga mats in their shop, but here is mine in case you want a direct link.  I have owned several different mats over the years and this is by far the best quality one I've ever had.

And these pants... the Onzie Gypsy Pant... love!  They are so comfy, and made from super soft jersey fabric, so you can wear them over and over without them getting wrinkled or saggy!  They come in 8 different patterns too!!!  I'm loving the fold over waist while I'm pregnant.  I can roll it down, or pull it up over my belly for extra support if I want.  And I know they will fit me perfectly once I'm no longer pregnant too. 

In case you missed it, we put our new favorite Skyline Fever design on a crop top as well as the original slouchy tee style.  I'm loving it so much!  Remember, you don't have to bare your belly with these tops, you can easily layer them over tank tops or a maxi dress, so many possibilities.  I get so many comments from girls saying they can't do crop tops, so I like to remind them of this.  So many ways to wear a shirt!

THREADS // IT STILL FITS

via rootsandfeathers.com

I took these a few weeks ago, I think when I was a little over 20 week pregnant.  I was so excited to find out that this romper still fits me!  You can see a pre-pregnancy post in it here.  I have not had to buy very many pregnancy clothes at all.  I got two pairs of jeans with the band on top and a few tanks tops to wear under other shirts, and one actual maternity top that I'll still be able to wear after pregnancy.  Ive been able to utilize things from my previous closet pretty well so far!  Which is great b/c it leaves more room for me to spend that money on the cutest little baby clothes!  Ha ha.  I'm going to have to much fun dressing little Ava. 

It's hard to believe that in just a little over 3 months she will be here in our arms.  I'm getting anxious and nervous.  Well be taking Birthing From Within classes this spring, and I'm about to start preparing for baby shower and blessingway details... It's all going to start happening so fast.  My belly is growing each week.  Some days I feel beautiful and some days I feel huge.  I measured 23" at my 23 week midwife appointment so I know I'm right where I should be.  I think it's just part of being a short girl... there is not a whole lot of torso room!  Her kicks and movements are getting stronger and stronger, and we can see my belly move and bump from the outside now!  It's so cool.  She has already helped me so much with putting things in life in perspective as far as what is important and what is not. 

Her room is looking so cute.  It just needs her crib and some art that I have picked out.  We still have a million things around the house we want to get done before she arrives.  Little by little it's getting done.  I'll never forget this period of my life...
