My little sister (4 years my younger) and my parents came over to my place, and we snapped these photos right outside of our house.
The baby moved when my sister touched my belly - she is so active..always kicking, punching and stretching. Except when Andy touches my belly, then she freezes! I think she is shy.
Look how flat my sister's belly is! I hope to get back into shape once the baby is born.
And she can fly...like a bird.
I barely made it off the ground. My belly is just too huge.
This blue dress was my recent vintage find from "Sanbiki no Koneko" (three kittens) in Shimokitazawa. I bought it for 600 yen (about 6 bucks). I really liked the bat sleeves, and elastic waist, so I decided to take this home with me.
One problem with the dress was that it was too long for my liking, down to mid calf level. I decided to hem it shorter. But, having learned the lesson from my hemming experience of this polka dot dress a few weeks ago I decided to readjust my approach to hemming. If you hem a dress or skirt in the traditional way while you are in your third trimester, the center front of the skirt will raise more than expected because of the big belly. So, you must compensate!
So, this time I cut the front center of the dress 3 inches longer than the side and back.
From the side view, you can see that there is a slope - front center is longer than the side and back on dress form. Once the baby is out, I can hem the dress again to even out the front:)
As I mentioned above, maternity tights has longer and stretchier in the torso in order to cover the big belly!

You and your sister are so pretty! Love the pictures and the hemming tip. :)
Congrats on the near completion of this part of your journey with your baby! You've been so lovely the entire way :)
The tip about the hemming is a good one; but do you intend on rehemming it when you are no longer pregnant, or keep it as is? Just curious..
And I'm sure you will have no problem getting back into shape once Sophia is born! You've been active throughout your pregnancy, so I think that's one indication. Once again, good luck and take care!
