My Pregnancy Style: Lots of Draping, Tunics and Larger Clothing

 Hello Everyone,
    For those of you who do follow me, you will realize I failed to announce my second pregnancy. That  was in part due to denial, since it took me a few months to wrap myself around the idea I would be having another one. And now, that he is here, I am head over heels in love with them. Almost four months old, I cannot imagine my life without him as he looks to me each morning with his big beautiful hazel eyes and smiles. Big brother, Layth, too could not be more excited; although, we do have to remind him he is still not old enough to play "Super Man." Hopefully, Layth will still be into make believe when Jude is old enough to enjoy it! Speaking of my second pregnancy, I purposely tried to avoid maternity clothes as long as I could. I remember with my first pregnancy, a lot of the maternity clothes I had purchased either did not fit me or lacked fashion. So I decided to opt for the idea many celebrities do when trying to conceal their pregnancies or style up their bumps: relying on larger sized clothing, tops intended to be flowy regardless of your size, leggings and low rise skinny jeans. And, to be honest, I am still wearing a lot of these clothes today...I'm wearing a top I purchased while pregnant from the Gap as I type. So I decided to compile a few of my more stylish pregnancy moments and share them with you all!
