Iv'e promised the kids all kinds of beach days this summer. This is a fairly easy request and something I enjoy as much as they do. The beach is a place where I always feel free. Something about just laying in the sun with no worries, kids playing, water near by... it just feels right.
This summer my beachwear requires a bit more planning. A thirty week belly needs more room, comfort and space to grow. Did I just say thirty weeks....?!?!
The kids and I went out shopping for new bathing suits recently and I did something daring and not very much like me.
I skipped the maternity one piece! Didn't even try them on! And just bought a bikini top and bottom in a bigger size!
I'm showing off my belly this summer. It's a bit wild and crazy for me. Truth is though, I feel totally comfortable and confident in this big belly right now. I see myself and although I see a lot of growth in certain places that probably shouldn't be growing and will be hard to loose post baby... I also see how beautiful I am in this temporary skin.
Thought's about how this might will probably be the last time I am pregnant have also crossed my mind and for this reason I feel like I should embrace my body even more.
So weird for me to write this because I am usually the last person to feel comfortable in a two piece when I am not pregnant. Even during times in my life when I have been in the best shape I have always focused on all of my imperfections. Maybe pregnancy gives me a reason to be just like I am without having these certain expectations about how I should look.
Definitely leaves me with thoughts about feeling comfortable with who I am post baby.
Showing my belly off...am I completely crazy for doing this? What are your thoughts on a two piece during pregnancy? Is it a no-no or a do it?
Have you and the kids shopped for bathing suits yet?

I wore bikinis while pregnant with my first. I've never seen a pregnant woman who didn't look adorable in one! We've already shopped for suits this year. We live at the beach, so we're always ready. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really know how I feel about what bathing attire to wear while your pregnant, but if your comfortable that's all that matters. Just be yourself and be happy in your skin.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Post!! Love that you bought a bikini. Love your comfort in your beautiful pregnant skin! I have never felt comfortable in a bikini either--even at my skinniest. But when I was pregnant; that was the hardest my stomach had ever been, so I showed it off. :) Can't believe how far along you are!! Yay!
