The result? This is the first outfit that is post-worthy.

I am obsessed with The Shops at Target. This dress is from The Webster collection and I am tempted by just about everything available online. (There’s a lot more online than there was at our local store.) I wore the dress with Espadrilles from Target I bought last year so the outfit cost a grand total of $60.

Dress: The Webster at Target Sleeveless Jersey Dress
Shoes: Calypso St. Bart for Target Espadrille Wedge Sandal

Almost forgot to mention my white tank top peeking out. I wear a tank constantly while nursing. Constantly. And luckily the tank matches my pasty white legs. Score.

Because I was dressed in something that I didn’t mind having photographed, I made the kids gather for a picture.

The boys are wearing one set of their matching clothes from Tea Collection. ::swoon::

Shopping BabySize: my favorite finds for babies, kids and moms based on the approximate size of the wee babe in my belly. Or, not so wee as the case may be.

Full term – woot! This baby making our whole family anxious and excited and now weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). And here we go with another difficult to find vegetable! Swiss chard, really? Isn’t there another fruit or vegetable that weighs about 6.3 pounds or is 19 inches long?

Swiss Chard Finds

Swiss chard may be a part of your diet, but it is not part of mine. Yes, I admit that I don’t believe I’ve ever actually eaten Swiss Chard. And, sadly, it is not a pretty little vegetable to be featured on sweet onesies for babies. So, let’s just stick with some basic Swiss Chard finds.

The baby is now gaining about an ounce a day and weighs almost 6 pounds – or the size of a crenshaw melon – and is about 18.5 inches long. This whole Shopping BabySize experiment has really been a lesson in produce, because I had no idea what a crenshaw melon was. But I am learning about all kinds of melons since they’re easy to compare to baby’s size, apparently. It’s really fun to imagine how bit the baby actually is! Both of my kids were born around 38 pounds and my son weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and my daughter was 6 pounds 12 ounces. Given the fact that I weigh at least 5 pounds more than I did when I gave birth to my other kids, I’m assuming the means the baby in my stomach actually weighs more like 11 pounds. Clearly the only explanation for this extra weight is an extra big baby. Right? Right.

Baby is getting big and is now approximately more than 18 inches long and weighs about 5 1/4 pounds – similar to a honeydew melon. There’s a whole lot of melon going on! Last week, baby was about the size of a cantaloupe, this week a honeydew and next week a crenshaw melon.

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.

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.
