Yep, you read the title right. I'm 40 weeks pregnant. :) Baby T is definitely overdue! Still trying to keep as active as possible and making sure that I get out and about every day, as I know walking is beneficial.

Wore this simple jeans and tee outfit to go to the doctors on Wednesday. Added the scarf to keep me warm as it was a little chilly. Not the best photo of it, but it's a lovely blue skull scarf. I couldn't resist buying another skull scarf to add to my collection when Matches Fashion sent me a discount code! I really like the way they styled it on their site with the white tee and pale denim. Unfortunately I don't have any plain white tops that fit the baby bump, so went with this striped one instead. I liked the result, although I look forward to trying it with a white tee later!

Today was spent on the phone mostly! Lots of people calling and texting to see how things were going and if there are any signs of baby's arrival. I'm really feeling loved, with everyone checking in hoping all is still well, asking how I am and giving us encouragement.

Comfy knit and maxi skirt outfit today as I had another acupuncture appointment this afternoon. Loose layers are good to wear when getting poked with needles. And I'm pleased this stretchy knit still fits the bump. Looks very different from the last time I wore it! Thought that the ombre effect looked nice with the stripes, what do you think?

Had a few errands to run on Monday and an acupuncture session. As it was a little chilly in the morning, decided to wear the other blazer I found at the op-shop on my shopping trip a few weeks back. I think it looks okay, although there really is no chance of it being buttoned over the giant baby bump, haha! Was easy to take off and on as the temperatures changed through the day.

Another simple maxi skirt outfit, this time with a pretty pastel tee. Spent lots of time relaxing today, so this was a nice comfortable outfit. Looked okay for a doctor's appointment and lunch with DH too.

I really am so glad I discovered stretchy maxi skirts work just as well during pregnancy as they do before it. They have been the most comfortable things to wear, and I feel more put together than if I was walking around in trackie dacks. Although I do confess that trackie dacks are my outfit of choice when I'm at home bouncing on my exercise ball to relieve some of the pregnancy back aches! Much more practical than a skirt in that situation.
