Jacket: VEDA also in cognac | Denim: Citizens of Humanity | Tee: GAP Maternity (lived in these tees) | Shoes: Barbara Bui | Sunglasses: Prada
Hi! Wanted to give a quick update!
I was due last Thursday, but sitting here still pregnant and just waiting around at this point. I have my next doctors appointment tomorrow (Tuesday), so we’ll see what she says. At first, I appreciated the extra time and wasn’t necessarily in a rush to go into labor, but now I’m ready. At least as ready as one can be. I’m hoping I don’t have to get induced and it happens naturally, so doing everything I’ve been told to do and just crossing my fingers.
On to the outfit. I borrowed this amazing jacket from a friend and since, have been dreaming about it in this color. You can always count on VEDA to make such beautiful pieces (wearing their burgundy one here).

I hope that everything will go right and that you won’t have to be induced, but if you will have to, don’t worry, it’s nothing bad… 🙂
You look fantastic and I think that you totally rocked the maternity style during your whole pregnancy! 🙂

From all the bloggers I follow, no one has rocked the maternity style quite like you. You impersonate my idea of an independent, stylish, New York woman in such a perfect way and you’re exactly the kind of person I see myself creating shoes for. Even during pregnancy, you’ve never compromised your style and you totally nailed it. So I wish all the best, hope everything goes well and quick and I can’t wait to meet (digitally) your super-stylish-to-be son.

Nice jacket, I’ve been contemplating a kaki Givenchy bag. Liking this neutral color for spring. Babies usually come when your not thinking about it. Good luck!

Hi Helena,
April 18, 2016I know exactly how you feel. At 41 weeks I decided to get induced as I was sooo tired of wobbling and rolling. Honestly if you are just done with it – I would recommend the induction. Bonus is that you can make get a blow out and a mani pedi right before hand as I promise you, there will be no time for any of that for at least 3 weeks after the baby gets here. Good luck!!
BrooklynBlonde
Haha, yes! Definitely thought of that bonus! I already got a pedicure and a gel mani since that lasts way longer. Thanks so much!

I’m a grandmother, but I always read your blog, because I still work full time, I still love fashion and you have a terrific sense of style. Reading that you’re overdue takes me back. A zillion years ago, when I was young, pregnant, and overdue, a friend said something to me that made me feel so good that all these years later, I still remember it. She said, “Being overdue is really good, because it means your body is like a total luxury hotel to your baby!” I hope that makes you feel good too! 🙂 Wishing you the best and looking forward to your posts about the wonderful new adventure that awaits you with your little one!

Love that quote!!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

You are so beautiful! With your first baby I understand the need and desperation at times to get that baby out! From my experience being induced with my first child was way worse! It made my labor soooooo much longer! I was induced at 7am and didn’t deliver until 10pm and I was so exhausted I nearly asked for a C-section. Babies will come when they’re good and ready and often times they miscalculate the actual number of weeks you are preggers, so my advice is to wait for it to happen naturally. Best of luck! 😉
