I was starting to think that being heavily pregnant would be easier in the winter than in the summer because of the heat factor, etc.....but now I am starting to rethink that. I gave birth to my son in June...In Los Angeles. It was hot and smoggy, not too pleasant, but I never ran out of clothes that were cute and non-binding. There are so many adorable peasant type tops I got to wear, skirts and such. The best part of being pregnant in the summer, or a warmer climate in general, was getting to wear flip flops.

Seeing as I am 5 1/2 months along, and as big as I was at 7 1/2 months with my son, I am really starting to resent the weather here in Portland. All of a sudden, I am having major difficulties pulling shoes and boots on......not to mention socks. I want my flip flops, but also don't want to lose my toes to frost bite!

And I am not a fan of wearing layers and sweaters and other clothes that bind over my belly. I like to have some freedom of movement (for what little movement I have left) and trick or treating with my son last night in 38 degree weather with high winds wrapped in a hat, gloves, shirt, sweater, coat & scarf made me feel like a sausage about to burst out of its casing. Not fun. I think a little sweat and some gauzy tops with sandals is much more up my alley.......*sigh*.
