I’m not going to lie: Being in pregnant in the winter can be brutal. Chicago has been exceptionally cold this early in December—from icy streets to tons of snow—it simply isn’t easy. But I decided not to let the harsh winter weather get me down. Instead, I to look forward to the warm-weather months where I will be able to take the baby on long Spring/Summer walks once he’s born.

To keep warm and comfortable during winter when you’re almost 7 months pregnant can be a challenge at times but I’ve learned that layering is always key! And while my bump continues to grow I cannot help but be mesmerized. It might be harder to dress the bump but it truly is such a miracle. I cannot believe what my body is actually capable of. My back aches and my rib cage gives me tremendous pain but every time I feel little Baby J kick inside of me, well…, all the pain is forgotten.
So, yes, I might complain about the cold and I may secretly wish it was warmer but I honestly cannot wait when our little baby boy is born during the Spring! I know this will all be forgotten…
As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful Monday!
XOXO

Aww bless you Vanessa. Pregnancy during winter cannot be easy. I’m not pregnant but my body during the winter is ridiculous. I just cannot do it. Hope you’re able to cope.

Oh, dear V., such a lovely post and super sweet pictures! Now I can see the baby bump and you really look amazing! Baby J will bring many smiles on your way and the rib and back pain will be forgotten, like you said! I loved your vest and sweater, you look stunning! Hope the weather is a bit better soon! I should write you in a better way, dear V., but this year was so busy and I am feeling a bit exhausted, so I will wish you here a fantastic Christmas for your family, the first with Babay J (7 months 🙂 and the next will be even more beautiful with your two sons! Children are the spirit of Christmas! You are such a lovely girl and friend, keep being this way, cause you are really a treasure! Hope you have a lovely week and a merry merry Christmas!

My friends always prefer being pregnant during the cold season because they get to enjoy the warmer weather with the baby. Just be careful with the snow. Plus I can’t believe it’s 7 months. It felt like you just told us your 3 months. Love the color of that vest.

I’m swooning over your winter pregnancy style. You look amazing. Never thought of how difficult pregnancy would be in the winter too. I always thought about the summer roughness because of the heat. Baby J will be here soon enough. Xoxo
Spring is a wonderful time to have a baby. The best time really I think. And love the long vest, this is perfect to double as maternity wear.

That blue vest looks so beautiful against your all black look. Hopefully the rest of the winter won’t be quite as harsh@
