#MommyPracticalityPreggyOOTD Weeks 18-24
Thursday, March 10, 2016Wow, I can't believe it's been six weeks since I last posted about what I've been comfortably wearing while my preggy belly is g...
If you've been following me on Instagram, where I usually post my Outfit Of The Day photos, you'd notice that I am very safe when it comes to color combination of my wardrobe. I actually notice lately that I like wearing blues, greys, whites, blacks and denims, and I like the striped pattern. I'm drawn to these classic and cool-to-the-eyes hues. I guess it's because I'm having a boy? I don't know if there's any connection really.

White Top from Forever21
Jeans from Havin a Baby
Shoes: Polo Ralph Lauren
This is my regular outfit to work lately. I stopped driving because my belly is too big that it gets squished when I try to reach for the lever at the bottom of the seat to adjust it. So, now I commute and when I do, I want to be in the most comfortable clothes I could wear. Simple cotton top, jeans, and sneakers work for me all the time.
Striped Top from SM Woman Maternal
Denim Pants from SM Woman Maternal
Shoes: Nike Pegasus
Bag: Tommy Hilfiger
I attended my elder son's field demonstration day in school wearing a comfortable maternity denim pants, a stretchable striped top and my ever reliable Nike rubber shoes which I gifted myself last year.
- Before updating your maternity wardrobe... look into your closet if you've kept some pieces which you could still use. If you can't use them anymore because of size or the style is very outdated, better give it away by donating or selling it.
- The key is to mix and match your clothes. I always go for classic and safe colors. One could never go wrong with the basics. If you do want printed or loud colors, mix and match them with existing solid colors from your closet. No need to keep on purchasing pieces of clothing which will only clutter your closet.
- Do an inventory of your pre-maternity clothes which you could still use even when your preggy belly grows. My closet is full of stretchable and comfortable tops which could handle my big tummy. I like wearing this type of clothing because it's comfortable, it hugs my tummy firmly, it's versatile, it can be used for even after the baby's out.
- Those button-up shirts could still make its way to your maternity get up. You don't need to button it up, use as a layer to a fitting tank top. This gives your outfit an updated and chic look.
- On shoes... avoid using high-heeled ones, you may use pumps on occasions though. Got flats, ballet shoes, sneakers, rubber shoes or slip-on sandals? Now's the best time to use and abuse them. Just avoid tripping over something
Battling With My Insecurity and Jealousy
Tuesday, March 08, 2016Hi there! I’m pregnant and I feel insecure sometimes. I could always blame it to my hormones and the physical changes that I’m going thr...
The hormones, I can’t do anything about it. It will affect me physically of course because first of all, my preggy belly grows bigger as the weeks progress until I reach full term. With that, I don’t look attractive or exciting and sexy anymore, which sometimes affects my self-confidence. Because of the physical changes, my activities are limited and sometimes my work is also affected, which became a reason for some lost opportunities. Physically, I now cannot see my feet and even my vajayjay. Sexy times decreased in frequency. I cannot wear socks and tie my shoes without help from my loved ones. I cannot keep my balance when wearing bottoms, panties included. I cannot travel too far, in fact, I missed our supposed family trip to Palawan which I booked last year.
I mentioned other factors such as my husband. I don’t blame him directly actually. It’s just that he’s so handsome (uuuy, mommies, siyempre love your own diba?!) and tall, talented, bad-boy-looking-charming, and could command other women’s attention even if he doesn’t ask for it. With this dilemma (dilemma talaga?!), lately, I get jealous easily of some women he talks to who aren’t familiar to me. I admit to checking his phone from time to time. I know I am creating my own nightmare, my own monster, by thinking I might lose him to someone or he doesn’t see me as attractive as before. It's superficial you may say because it's all physical. But there's a deeper issue here.
And the real issue is actually me and how I manage my thoughts and feelings towards the changes, towards my own activities, towards my physical limitations, towards my husband’s normal activities. After realizing this, I know I have to do something about my insecurities and my jealousy. Because these are super nega and will not help me achieve a happy and healthy pregnancy. Again, this is not a regular case for me, I just have those jealous-doubtful-arte days. So, I’m sharing with you…
