Maternity Fun

I had an absolute blast yesterday on my first ever maternity wear shopping trip. The fact that it was unplanned was the best part! Shaun was at work and I'd finished early to run a few errands but ending up having lots of time to spare before picking him up. I had to dash to the mall to return something from another store that was too big and whilst in the mall I came across 'Thyme Maternity' A store that I have been avoiding (despite loving their fashion online), the thought of walking in to one scared the life out of me. Anyway... I nipped in to bite the bullet and as I did a lady approached me and started asking questions about my pregnancy, it was so surreal. To be polite and because I felt obliged, I had a wander around the store and came across a top and some capri pants for the summer so I decided to try them on just for the hell of it.

The lady informed me that they had a pretend 'bump' that you could try on with the maternity wear to see how well they adjust when you get bigger. I found this hilarious, but what a genius idea?! Off I trot feeling like a complete knob in to the room when I am greeted with a bump which is done up at the back with Velcro. It adds 3 months to your pregnancy, so at this point it shows me what I'll be like just over 5 months pregnant. I actually ended up buying this outfit in preparation for the summer seeing as though my whole pregnancy will be during this period and my current clothes are, shall we say snug?!

I thought that just for kicks I'd share this bit of fun. So here are my '5 months pregnant' pics below... enjoy!! ;-)
