Happy Sunday!
We went to the 10am Mass at the Basilica this morning, and, get this, Chris only took Ryan out one time for maybe 30 seconds. After Mass, we ran into Fr. Rocca, the rector of the Basilica. I commented that Ryan actually stayed inside for the majority of the mass, and Fr. Rocca turned to Ryan and cheerfully confided, "I saw! Your dad only took you out once today!"
Uhhhhhh.
Stunned silence and then nervous laughs because oh-my-goodness, he must have seen the many, many times Ryan was in the church for maybe one minute. Yikes.
After that moment of parental embarrassment, we took our plump boy to feed the plump campus squirrels with my mom and sister who are in town! My dress is a thrift store find and very typical of my non-maternity maternity preferences; it's stretchy and there is side ruching. Pair it with some maternity Spanx and heels, and you are good to go. Plus, the cap sleeves were just long enough to cover my sunburn from yesterday's rugby escapades.

| My dress - St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store (the brand is American Living so I'm guessing it is from JCPenney originally). Shoes: Lauren Ralph Lauren via Marshall's. Bump: 20 weeks. |
I LOVE that dress!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The thrift store was goooood to me.
DeleteThat dress is fantastic! Looks like an idyllic afternoon!
ReplyDeleteIt really was!
DeleteHaha...classic Fr. Rocca! He has a pretty good sense of humor, so I'm sure he was more amused than anything, haha!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in your blue...and you look fantastic for 20 weeks!!!
Woah, way to make 20 weeks look glamorous, Katrina! Not many people can pull that off (myself most definitely included)!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet. I wish I had your altering skills!
DeleteLook at how classic and gorgeous you are, mama! I swear.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so elegant and shows off that baby bump just beautifully! And don't worry, my husband and I like to say all babies are Pentecostals--they raise their voice in praise whenever they feel led by the spirit. ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress! Very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! You are such a glowing mama. Yay for only having to take the little one out once, no matter what Father said!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful in that dress! And 20 weeks pregnant never looked that good on me!
ReplyDeletePretty sure that picture of the three of you walking with Ryan on Chris' shoulders ought to be framed ;) You look gorgeous, Katrina! Happy Lord's day!
ReplyDeleteI do love that one! Too bad I am horrible about actually printing out photos!
DeleteThat dress look awesome on you! I love non-maternity clothes that work for maternity as well! It's such a pretty color blue as well!
ReplyDeleteThey are the best! I love getting to wear them postpartum (okay, really post-postpartum because stretchy isn't the best for that haha).
DeleteYou are gorgeous! And way to go, Ryan!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO cute!!! Every week, without fail - your bump pictures are so cute you make me want to be pregnant again!
ReplyDeleteWhere are dresses that great when I hit the thrift shops?! And I love the family pictures; nice to get everyone involved for WIWS and SB.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, your bump couldn't be any cuter. Which I am very jealous of! So funny the priest noticed how many times you were in and out :).
ReplyDeleteYour dress looks great on you and perfect for a cute little bump.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, classy, great color. How pretty are you?
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. You look so pretty! And your bump is so cute. I'm 20 weeks too:)
ReplyDeleteMaternity spanx? Being pregnant is the one time you don't have to suck it in!! Your dress looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I do not care at all about the sucking in! My belly can stick out as much as it wants! I'm all for avoiding the muffin top and panty lines that all of my underwear create as the weeks go along. And so it is Spanx :)
DeleteI'm all for avoiding the muffin top too...at all times!!!! I just never thought about it when I was pregnant, I just let everything flow :) Anyway, your dress is so elegant and I love the color, looks great on you.
