* Midi Sweater Dress: This dress was worn so much I invested in a second one! * Body-con dress: I think every single blogger has spoken about this dress at one point or another! * Baby Dresser: This dress has been a best seller on the blog week after week. This company lets you pick all your colors and creates a DIY balloon kit that’s super affordable and easy to use.

ALL BLACK WITH SPARKLE Easy and simple look, especially when your belly is growing as fast as mine is. These jeans are crazy comfortable and very flattering for maternity jeans. Dressing in all black also disguises the bump a little better if you don’t want to show it off. I paired it with fun booties, earmuffs and a fluffy jacket to give it a more winter vibe over just strictly holiday.

We were also set on this shade of green for the walls even before we knew it was a boy of a girl ( I will list paint colors & flooring further down). I didn’t want to have too much of the typical “nursery” decor, but also didn’t want to totally eliminate all the whimsical aspects. I didn’t want to keep any diapers or anything on top and thankfully the dresser was large enough to store all changing necessities in the top drawer. We loved the idea of using llamas as the animal throughout the room and felt it went with our decor we’d chose.

Not only does BLANQI make functional clothing for the mom-to-be, they also make functional clothing for postpartum and nursing! Dresses like this are so easy and comfortable for your bump and as it gets colder its easy to throw on booties and a cardigan and still look great! So nice for new mamas and perfect to add in your hospital bag for after baby arrives! These items would all make amazing gifts for someone you know who is newly pregnant or like me, someone who is about to have their baby and will most likely want a few new things to feel good about their new bodies!
