I really had no idea what to expect when I found out I was pregnant. Even though I’ve seen some friends go through it, even though I was old enough to remember my mom’s pregnancy with my sister, and even after over-googling and reading What to Expect…. It has been so surreal that it still almost feels like a dream. Maybe it’s the lack of baby bump? (It looks more like belly bloat if you ask me.)
But what I do know is that I have never felt so supported and completely engulfed by love. Family members, friends, and ladies I’ve befriended over the internet have reached out and touched my heart in ways I could have never expected. Whether through text, call, or email, I’ve received countless messages of congratulations, support, and prayer. And I can’t say thank you enough. It’s really been quite overwhelming– in the very best way! So thank you, thank you for all your kind words. They mean more to me than I can acurately describe.

cobalt looks great on you and I adore your shoes.
Glad that you are getting lots of support and thoughtful words from people about your pregnancy!
That dress is lovely on you too, I like cobalt blue and black together 🙂
Always a great color combo!!
And yea, all the support through pregnancy must make it so much better! Being closer to family is always a good thing 🙂
Love that dress and how you styled it. Cobalt is a great color for you girl!

You are adorable! I bet you will have a clearly defined bump in no time! You are so stylish in how you create outfits that I would never say you look frumpy!
Love the dress!

You are the cutest little pregnant lady ever. I really am so excited for you guys–I can’t wait to follow along with you during this happy time!
p.s. Cobalt is totally your color!
One of my good friends who is pregnant said the same thing, that it felt surreal, she said her “I’m really pregnant” moment was her ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby, I guess in the beginning it does feel like is just a dream. And it’s good to hear that everything is going ok.

So pretty Lauren! Love this dress and color on you!
I would truly describe the first 3 months of pregnancy as a confused fog! I literally felt kind of out of it and I was really trying to comprehend what was happening. Yes, the lack of the bump made it even less tangible. Then one day I had a bump but still, it is a pretty interesting transition. You are doing it beautifully with clothing!!!
I am so glad that you are feeling so much support! You are glowing and looking stunning
Love that dress! It’s gorgeous!
That dress is so pretty, perfect for a little baby bump (err, bloat)?

I feel like I can see a bit of bump in this but I think it’s because the dress is loose and I know you are preggers so I’m imagining it. I love the color though!
Congratulations!! What an exciting time for you! And blue is your color! Susan
I’m so happy for you! This is such an exciting time! And I love this color combo!
