Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly.

This week baby weighs approximately 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. It blows my mind that the baby is now, like, nearly real newborn baby size. Crazy. In any case, enjoy this week’s cantaloupe and melon finds and read on to see some belly photos!

This weekend we took full advantage of the Banana Republic military discount and I got a few things that I wore almost immediately.

Top: Ruched Tank, Target
Sweater: Shaker Stitch Sweater Jacket, Banana Republic

I actually enjoyed this outfit all day – until I saw this photo. I tried the belt trick again – like at 29 Weeks – to define the bump rather than just wearing the Chambray shirt unbuttoned. The effect is totally lost from this angle. At least I’m hoping it looked better from the front.

Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly.

The baby weighs approximately 3.75 pounds ( or the size of a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long. The size of a jicama. Really, BabyCenter? There’s not another fruit or vegetable that weighs about 3 and 3/4 pounds. Because it’s pretty hard to find jicama reflected in baby and children’s products, just so you know.

Jicama Finds

J is for Jicama Print

While this print is adorable I think it’s much better suited for kitchen decor than a child’s room. When I’m thinking of words to help reinforce letter recognition, jicama isn’t exactly what comes to mind.

Another kitchen find – Recipe Cards

Not surprisingly, I had better luck finding recipes using jicama, a crispy vegetable.

The baby is getting big! This week it is approximately 16 inches long and weighs about 3.3 pounds – the same as 4 navel oranges. I love this week because while there are not a lot of “navel orange” specific products there are a lot of generic orange goodies. And, let’s be honest orange is a fabulous color! Such a fun, bright AND gender neutral color. It’s a great unisex alternative to yellow, really.

I went with a colorful brown theme for our family outfits. I wanted us to look good together, but clearly we couldn’t do matchy-matchy. If I’m honest, I came up with something I thought would be basic and flattering on me and then figured out everyone else’s clothes based on that. So brown. Our outfit theme was brown. Doesn’t that sound lovely? HA!

And, in case you’re curious: my husband is wearing a GAP polo and jeans, daughter’s dress is Lottie Da and shoes are Eleven, and my son is wearing Gymboree top, GAPKids jeans and Crocs boots.

I had some photos taken alone, too. I never had real maternity pictures taken with either of my other pregnancies so it feels like a real treat to have these.

And, then it’s back to reality with our poorly lit late night pictures! Holy shadow.

Anyway, enough of the excuses. Here are a few outfits from this week.

And, this outfit, my friends, is why I should photograph myself every morning before leaving the house. It’s freezing here and I wanted to keep warm, but I don’t like the way it looks all together at all. Oh well. Part of the reason I’m sharing is because I wore the same sweater at 22 weeks so it’s fun to compare the two.

Sweater: Old Navy
Shirt: LOFT
Jeans: Slim Fit Motherhood Maternity
Boots: UGG Classic Cardy

I am IN LOVE with this sweater from Seraphine. It’s the same company that sent me the beautiful navy dress I wore to my husband’s holiday party. I’m telling you, check out this company for fabulous maternity and nursing clothing. I’m totally smitten and would get one of everything if I could.

It’s a very easy to wear maternity shirt, but it’s also made for nursing mamas. The button accents on either side of the top of the shirt unsnap, allowing baby easy access to the goods. As my husband said, “It’s functional fashion.” Who knew he was such an expert? I foresee a lot of this lightweight sweater in my future!

Top: Seraphine Breastfeeding Sweater
Jeans: Motherhood Maternity Slim Fit (again)

And now… because covering it with real clothes does not do the belly justice: I present 30 weeks belly photos.

Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly.

I’m now 29 weeks pregnant, which means the little mover and shaker is 15 inches long from head to heel and weighs about 2.5 pounds – like a Butternut Squash. Remember almost two months ago when the baby was the size of a Spaghetti Squash? My how it’s grown in the squash family!

Even though cooking is so totally not my thing, I’ve had fun adding some recipes into the weekly finds post so this week is no different. And, as a bonus, it includes a recipe I’ve actually made. Go me. This Roasted and Curried Butternut Squash Soup is so freaking delicious. And I feel tremendously fancy and talented when I make it. (Except the time the yogurt kind of curdled when I added it. That wasn’t cool.)
