I work in a warehouse, so I really don't pretty myself up for the day...ever. So I feel like a freaking supermodel when I actually do my hair and makeup and put on clothes other than men's pocket t-shirts.

My breasts have changed so much - I used to have nice looking breasts and nipples and now - ugh! They make me feel so ugly. So what I've been doing lately to make myself feel prettier is wearing a nice, sexy bra. I have a see through one that gives me just the right amount of disguise so I can't feel too awful about my nipples. Plus DH loves it and that makes me feel good when I drive him nuts for it.
It's kind of strange but I think having a big belly has actually been slimming-in a strange sort of way. I have always had bigger legs and I think I notice them less because my belly is bigger-if that makes sense. I feelt prettiest when I wear empire waist tops because they are flowy and cute and they are in style even if you aren't pg.

I actually only feel pretty when DH cuddles the bump. When he rests his head in my lap and gives the belly little kisses or talks to it I just want to cry. I feel very beautiful then no matter what I am wearing.
Honestly, the fact that DH still wants me keeps me sane. I knew my body would change, but I just wasn't ready for it, I guess. I was so busy preparing for the financial and emotional part of pregnancy/having a baby that I forgot to prepare for the physical part.
My breasts are gigantic (I loved my full Cs before- I thought they were great!), my bump is straight out, and my feet are puffy at the end of the day- but when DH and I aren't joking about it all, he still acts attracted to me and to know that he's still interested even though I'm not too excited about the way I look makes me feel pretty good.
Taking time on my make-up (Bare Minerals powder for clear completion, a dab of light pink lip gloss, eyeliner, a little bit of blush) and hair, and wearing something cute/stylish that shows off my bump.
But what makes me feel even prettier is when I do all this, go outside with a smile on my face, and get smiles from complete strangers. Happy people are contagious!
The feeling after a nice workout....painting my toes/nails a pretty new shade...doing my hair...trying out new eyeshadow or make-up colors...wearing my sweats (so comfy!!)
Midwest Texan, your bump is too cute. So close to birth day!!
Re: What makes you feel pretty?
Shaving my legs...they are so silky smooth afterward!
running/weight training (my exercises of choice),
