I’ve gotta address the elephant in the blog… (and no, I’m not referring to myself as an elephant). It was like 98 degrees outside when I was wearing this outfit. Yet, I’m wearing a cardigan and a scarf. You’d think that would be totally counter intuitive, and you’d be correct.

You see, the thing is, when you’re this pregnant (i.e. pushing 38 weeks pregnant) everything just feels… uncomfortable. So, you look to the things that make you feel, well, comfortable. And the truth is, I feel uncomfortable in just a sleeveless dress right now. Because if I’m just getting my insecurities out on the table, I feel like my arms look huge, my neck looks huge, and I feel like I just look huge. However, I throw on my favorite cardigan over my dress and toss on my new favorite scarf from World Market and I suddenly feel like a million pregnant bucks.

Seriously.

Granted, the scarf is a light material so it’s not like some wool winter scarf or anything, but you get where I’m going, right?

It’s just one of those things that’s totally a mental game… and as long as I can play the mental game with myself and trick myself into feeling like a million pregnant bucks, then I can continue to walk around strutting my pregnant stuff for a little while longer.

Right? Right. Trust me, this all makes sense in my head.

I also gotta give a quick daps to this dainty arrow bracelet from StyleLately.com. It’s pretty much adorable and I pretty much love it and have pretty much worn it every day since I got it. It’s just so dang cute. It doesn’t even need other bracelet friends.

Anywho.

On a side note, and I will definitely update y’all later, but for those who pray, I covet your prayers this morning. I’m going in to the hospital for a little procedure this morning and I’m just a wee nervous about it. Everything is okay… the baby is just not exactly in a position the baby should be right now, so they’re gonna try and move the little gymnast. Anyway, I’ll share more later, but just wanted to give you an FYI.

  13. I know how you feel about just wanting to look your best so no judging here for wearing a cardigan and scarf in this heat. Plus, everywhere you go has their AC blasting so you’re bound to get cold. Sending you my love and prayers to get that little baby in the ready position! Here’s to hoping an easy labor!

  19. I think if a cardi and scarf make you feel more comfortable, then rock it! I think you look fabulous. I’ll definitely be praying for you today. One of my friends had what sounds like the same procedure. Lots of prayers for you!

  33. Oh my, I’ve heard that whole moving the baby thing can be quite uncomfortable. I’ll be praying for you! My doctor was totally old school, so he wouldn’t attempt to reposition the baby and instead did a c-section. =/

  34. Wow! Look at you. Suddenly looks like there is lots and lots of baby you poor thing. Good luck with the re-positioning. And you look stunning. With it being winter here I didn’t even think twice about the scarf and cardi. Whatever makes you comfy. And the colour is stunning. Thanks so much for hosting once again.

      1. I am happy to hear that! When I was pregnant with my first son, I felt him flip over head down at some point. It was super weird and kind of uncomfortable. It wasn’t anywhere near 37 weeks, so I can’t imagine how weird that felt!

  36. You look fabulous Molly and orange is a great color for you. I will be praying that the baby procedure goes well today. I am a labor and delivery nurse – have you heard about the Webster turning method? E mail me if you want more info. Be blessed! Susan

  38. You look great! And I must say, I am always impressed with how well you pose for your pictures. As for your procedure, I will be praying. I am guessing it is an ecv. I am praying for peace, health for you and baby and that it works. I had a successful one with my first pregnancy.
