2nd Trimester
SO im sitting home crying....
Im trying to pack for our cruise for our 1st anniversary and NOTHING fits my right! My SIL bought me a dress for Hannukah and it just looks like i put a garbage bag on =*( I know people say formal night isnt what it used to be on cruises but i LOVE formal night.. DH wears a suit and we just get really into it. I feel like a blimp and totally NOT sexy at all! DH said we'll go shopping over the weekend and find me some nice dresses but honestly we can't really afford much right now. Things are really tight with the baby coming =*( Im just so upset ladies!

Re: SO im sitting home crying....
Can you get a cute belt to wear with the dress your SIL got you? I'm not sure if you can put it above your bump.
I found a really great looking maternity dress at a nice consignment store the other day that I plan on wearing to a wedding next month. I went in for another reason and stumbled across it. I had it dry cleaned and it looks brand new.
Don't stress too much about the clothes....go enjoy your awesome cruise!
Do you have any maternity consignment shops nearby? Or even some of the bigger thrift stores sometimes have a really nice selection of maternity clothes! They're definitely hit or miss, but you never know!
Your post makes me want to cry but only because I would die to be going on a cruise right about now. I feel trapped in this crap of a snow drift and was just saying how I want to go on a trip to someplace warm.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it no matter what the heck you've got on, lol ; )

I know what you mean about being upset about your clothing. It seems everytime I buy something, baby grows and it doesn't fit like I wanted it to.
A PP put up delias, also try www.alloy.com. Sometimes you can find some really great items on www.gojane.com that are beautiful and inexpensive. I think www.target.com might have had some more formal style dresses that flatter the bump but I'm not sure.
You'll be beautiful on your cruise =]. Just try to relax and really enjoy your time.
Do you have a Ross or TJMaxx where you live? They have formal dresses and you can get them pretty cheap. I know someone who got a long, formal black dress for $8.
Good Luck and Have Fun!
Target, Kohls, and Old Navy have cute, affordable maternity clothes! Check them out! Dresses are hard when you are pregnant. Does your SIL have a cute maternity skirt and fun shirt you could wear instead?
I know how you feel. Not that I have anything formal to go to, but I am growing faster this pregnancy than I did with my first and this baby is due earlier in the year. So I don't have a lot of winter maternity clothes since with my son, I didn't really need maternity clothes till warmer weather. I borrowed some from two friends, but they are all too big or too small. I am very thrifty and just don't want to spend money on new clothes I'll wear for a couple of months when I do have some! So I'm constantly hiking up these too big maternity pants!!!
