I have to commend every woman blogger out there who has documented her pregnancy and postpartum style. I think it's really hard to put yourself out there. Your body just changes so much during pregnancy and it's really hard to figure out how to dress it in a way that makes you feel good about yourself.

The diaper bag dilemma is really the most frustrating thing ever. You never really know what sort of bag you need until you are in the moment with a screaming child. The truth is, you need everything as easily accessible as possible. One solution that has been a huge life saver for me is to keep all my diaper changing necessities in one place.

I am head-over-heels in love with this little elephant dress. I have half a mind to buy it right this minute. It's okay if it won't fit for another month...right?
