We’re still in a warm spell, and I’m taking full advantage of it, even if today is just a paper-writing day.
I’m trying out some of those “stretch your non-pregnancy wardrobe further” tricks, curious if any of them will work for me.

I still feel rather floppy and silly in this one, but I think my new preggers boobs help give a little shape while hiding the still-sneaky bump. And red shoes go with everything, right?
