Seriously, I hadn’t left my house in 2 weeks. I hadn’t gone outside in 2 weeks! So naturally, even a trip to the doctors office was terribly exciting for me. I had to take the opportunity to gussy up a bit, and show off my swelling belly.

And I’ve got some good news! This trip was specifically for a test, a test that came back NEGATIVE, which means my chances of preterm labor have gone back down to ‘slim to none’. YAY YAY YAY! So thank you so much to everyone out there who sent your love and support – it worked guys!

Also, I don’t have gestational diabetes (yay vegan!). We celebrated with donuts. =)

    Congratulations!! Also, the outfit is adorable. I love combat boots, but haven’t found a pair I like other than Doc Martens, which I’m trying not to buy because of the leather.

    Thank you everyone for all the congrats and support on our good news! You have all been so amazing and loving through this, I feel like you all made it so much brighter, when it was such a dark time. THANK YOU!!!! A million times, I can’t say it enough.

    @ Mrs Money – Not quite off bed rest, but it’s modified. I’m allowed to putter around my house now, which does wonders for my psyche. After 32 weeks I’ll be able to leave the house for short trips. I’m going to take it real easy for the rest of the pregnancy (fighting against my nature!), just to be on the safe side.

    @ EroSan – Thank you, but why did you have to ask that?! Haha. Oh man . . . powdered sugar jelly filled, plain glazed, and a filled maple bar (my absolute favorite) . . . oh the *shame*!!!

    @ Jackie – Yes, secondhand leggings are rare treasures! I always check the athletic wear and the jammies because sometimes they get put in there. Also the maternity section, because even if you’re not pregnant some of the maternity leggings (in size small) will fit. Check it out!

    @ Valerie – I know! I’m sorry, I totally thought about that too. But they are just such a great company. So hold off for this month and then hit them up in Feb. They are all vegan and print on AA, so their stuff is 100% Bonzai approved for Ethical Sartorialists. =D

    @ Tenise Rae – Thanks lady! Nope, I have this wierd claustrophobic thing where I can’t wear anything high wasted – it drives me crazy. I’m all about the low riders. The leggings are scrunched down below the belly – luckily they didn’t gather too much so there’s no ‘bulge’.

    @ Kathryn – I know what you mean. This brand, Gripfast, used to make vegan boots but it looks like they don’t anymore! =( I know there are non-leather combat boots out there though. Check out Alternative Outfitters – http://www.alternativeoutfitters.com/search.aspx?find=boots

    And yes, they were Voodoo. MY PREGNANCY KRYPTONITE!!!

    You look fantastic! I’m a new reader who found you through resistanceisfertile. I’m a mama of a 10-month-old boy and I’m so excited for you and your fella. Very inspired by your intentions post too. Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy and looking forward to digging through your recipe archives.
