28 Weeks Pregnant
I have only done a couple of pregnancy updates because I think they’re kind of boring if you aren’t pregnant yourself, but I am in my third trimester now and this doubles as a Look of the Day post. After an extra month of winter weather, yesterday was close to 100 degrees so I spent the day in a bikini. (The top is from a Roxy suit, with severely sun-bleached bottoms from Old Navy. ON flip-flops and sunglasses from Goodwill.)
Un-Photoshopped because I really believe being pregnant makes you stop giving a fuck. I’ll be starting up with my Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite gel again (I swear by it) but I honestly think that most of the lumps and bumps is preggo water retention.
According to March of Dimes, you gain around 3 pounds of blood and 4 pounds of water during pregnancy. You also gain approximately 2 lbs in your breasts although, tragically, you can’t see that in the photos. My breasts have also been leaking colostrum lately, which makes me feel really womanly. I’m totally pumped on the idea of breastfeeding, pardon the pun.
If you click and enlarge the photos you can see my turquoise nail polish. I think it’s fair to say I’m obsessed with shades of turquoise. I bought a teal-ish Sag Harbor handbag last month even though I’m expecting a Matt and Nat bag in the mail this week. I am constantly eyeing turquoise jewelry. The polish I’m wearing here is Sinful Colors Rise & Shine. It has some sparkle to it but the color itself is more matte than shiny. It goes on a bit sloppily but the color is pretty gorgeous and the bottle cost all of $2 at Walgreens.
In actual Baby news, we are definitely decided on the name Sebastian. Little Zebby is a major mover and this week we realized he moves even more to music. We’ve been strapping my belly with headphones and exposing him to New Radicals and my Rise Against station on Pandora. I wonder if he’ll be just as active once he’s born – Can’t wait to meet my little Asian!

Look at you, ready to burst! Can’t wait to meet your little azn, too! I told Chris that you and Donny are naming your bibi Sebastian and that we’re STILL naming our future bibi Sebastian lolz.
Had to come visit after seeing your hilarious comment on the mombshelter’s picture post. Hating you for looking that good preggo in a bikini. My toes are turquoise at this VERY MOMENT. My baby girl would lie on a nursing pillow listening to music until we totally forgot we had a second kid.
