I let loose this morning (long).

I had my first emotional breakdown today.  Odd because I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't had one at all and I was doing well for being 34w pg.

It all started when i put on a cute blue wrap dress since we're going out tonight to celebrate my 30th with friends.  I went to put on a pair of boots and quickly realized they were too snug on my feet.  I didn't think the dress matched a pair of black flats that I own (which I'm pretty sure black patent leather is fairly neutral), so i changed into a geometric print dress that I'm not thrilled with but wear anyway.  I was intent on keeping on a pair of black tights and wearing a dress.

I went downstairs, tried to put on the black flats and realized my feet were not going in them... even though i wore them yesterday no problems.  So i had to wear these brown sneakers from Clarks which are VERY comfy, but make me look VERY frumpy with a dress and black tights.  I now feel like my grandmother who always wore printed dresses with orthopaedic shoes.

Then, my H gave me the cutest gift for my b-day: a little book that I can read to the baby about being his mother and a photo album with some u/s photos, belly shots and photos from my shower. 

And THAT is when I lost it.  I broke down crying about ringing in my 30s as a frumpy pregnant woman.  All while having a great husband and baby on the way.

Awww, what a rough morning.  I know how important it is to look nice, especially when you're pregnant.  I hope your day gets better and you have lots of fun tonight.  I have to tell you that my 30's were a ton of fun!

Awwww.  ((((Hugs))))) I was there last week.  I turned 30 and DH and I went out to eat at a nicer place.  Nothing fit!  Oh, and it is exhausting trying on clothes.  Hang in there. Only a few more weeks.

Aww, sorry about that.  I had my first breakdown last week, but mine was about Arby's getting my order wrong...how dumb!?!?!

Awww, hang in there! I have those moments quite often and I'm not usually like that. It sucks.

I dropped my perfume behind something in our bathroom and it got wedged pretty good. I couldn't maneuver my fat self to get it out so I had to bring in DH to get it. I was crying about it. GEEZ!

 On another note....HAPPY 30th! You'll be hot really soon:)

megs im totally with ya... i rung in my 30th as a frumpy pregnant woman in orthopedic shoes as well ... i know how you feel. 

what i did was went out and bought a couple pair of cute clogs... which i wouldnt normally wear but the go ok with dresses and tights, and are forgiving enough to accept swollen feet. 

anyways happy birthday!  try to have a good day.  I plan to have a big 3-0 do- over celebration w, my girlfriends after i can have booze ... maybe at 30.5 ... think about it, after about 6 months of hopefully loosing baby weight, you can get into a hot outfit and hit the town.
