I’m approaching 6 months pregnant now and my belly has definitely started to grow. \u00a0This is a moment I always dreaded as a worst fear. \u00a0Every time anyone ever asked me about babies, I would think please no, my body just isn’t made for that…<\/p>\n

I’m not just petite – I’m 5 feet tall with a 24 inch waist kind of petite. \u00a0I couldn’t fathom a baby fitting anywhere in there, at least not comfortably. \u00a0Someone would say baby and I’d imagine myself as a roly poly Oompa-Loompa looking pregnant woman. \u00a0(It’s a given fact that taller women carry better – a long torso allows the baby more vertical space, so your belly doesn’t grow out as much.) \u00a0That being said, I’ve been pretty firm about healthful eating and exercise the last few months, and I’ve managed to avoid putting on weight, minus the growing belly. \u00a0Plussss I never knew it actually takes longer to show with your first baby, as the uterus won’t stretch as quickly\/easily the first time around! \u00a0I’m handling it better than I thought I would (so far) and I’m learning to dress for my new body. \u00a0I usually favor waist emphasis with fit and flare silhouettes. \u00a0Not so much now!! \u00a0Anything tight around the waist would be horribly uncomfortable, and pretty much look ridiculous. \u00a0At the same time I’m determined to avoid maternity clothes. \u00a0I think they’d prove an awkward fit on my frame, and so far I’m making it work by sizing up instead. \u00a0I spotted this adorable fringe dress<\/a> (on sale) at Express, and went for a small instead of an extra small. \u00a0With the stretchy fabric and all the ruching, it should fit for another month or two. \u00a0Styled here with my beloved fringe booties<\/a> and a faux-fur vest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
