Pregnant after a Loss

I can't believe I bought a bikini top....

Yes you read that right. I was at target and realize that if I wanted to spend June and a bit of July at the pool with my DD that I would need a bathing suit. So, first I found these adorable black swim "shorts" and then I had this insane idea to try on cute bikini tops and guess what?! I LOVED THEM!!!! I would have never thought that I would rock a bikini top at 8mon pregnant (in June) but it made me feel so cute and empowered! I just hope I have the courage to wear it. Anyone else sporting a bikini this summer?

And because this is normally me I thought I would include it just for laughs!!

A little bit about me...

    I was significantly overweight for a while, then lost 85 lbs, then gained back 40 while TTC, so in addition to what pregnancy itself has added, I have a lot of rolls, flab, stretch marks and loose skin.  I laughed when my SIL told me pregnancy would "ruin my body" because it wasn't exactly pristine to start!  Anyway, I'm pretty open-minded about who should or shouldn't wear bikinis in public, but I would not count myself in the "should" group!  However, I think its adorable when pregnant women (who are not me) wear bikinis!  You should celebrate that body and I am proud of you for going for it.  (I've also seen BPF pics of you and I can assure you that you would look much better in a bikini than I would!)

    Yay @CaitNMatt!

  • I wore one last weekend at the beach (at 35 weeks). OK, to be fair, I wore a coverup over it while walking on the beach but took that off to go in the pool at the hotel. But I DID NOT let my husband take a picture, as much as he tried.
