Oooh, look at my maternity dress (on the right)
I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and itchy and twitchy. Yes, I’m pregnant, and it is not so easy to feel pretty these days. I waddle, I whine, and my midriff is too long for most shirts. Yoga pants = good. Leggings = good. Tight stuff = bad. This dress from 2Chix = amazing.
Because it’s so much fancier than my every day, I’ve been saving it for dates and special occasions so far; it is so comfortable that I plan to wear it every day of August following (and maybe including) the BlogHer conference. The color is gorgeous. The style with cap sleeves is totally practical.
Anyway, I love it! Friends have asked me if it will also work as a post-partum dress. We’ll have to wait and see since I don’t know how nursing-friendly it is.

Huge thank you to 2Chix for sending me such a lovely treat! I am so grateful to Brooke at 2chix.com for choosing and sending this dress just for me. At about $100, this dress is a splurge, but if you live in an appropriate climate, I highly recommend it.
You looked awesome in that dress at the Aveda thing! Very pretty!
Love the blue dress on you!
I will have to write this website down for my next go around since I’m 27 days from my due date and I’m tired of buying more clothes at this stage, lol. My next pregnancy will be stylish!!!
Holy moly, Heather, you may the best looking pregnant chick I’ve seen in awhile!
An unequivocal LOVE here! You are radiant!
Holy pregnant Heather – you look GORGEOUS! Way to work that whole ‘Glow’ thing – loving the dress too.
I’ve been looking for a dress like this. I’ll have to hop over and check it out. Thanks!
I’m not pregnant anymore, but I want that dress! Too bad they only sell maternity stuff.
@Emily, I like that you’re giving me credit for a glow… I suspect I look glowing because Aveda just gave me a make-over.
@CM, I think with pregnancy math the way it is, we’re all 1 or 2 weeks pregnant. And this dress is for 40 weeks, right?!
[...] Parent Talk‘s Heather of Rookie Moms is in love with a maternity dress. [...]
[...] The pregnancy had new challenges for me — advanced maternal age, extended diabetes test, half marathon, a cough that lasted my entire party trimester – but I entered my final month of pregnancy healthy and radiant. People were so nice to me. At 34 weeks, I had this awesome series of pictures taken by photographer Brian Smith at the BlogHer conference in my favorite blue dress. [...]
