I actually asked this question to my husband last night while I was trying on clothes:

“Honey, does this make my bump look big?”

Silence.

“Honey?”

“Did you say bump or butt?” he asked hesitantly.

“BUMP!”

“Oh right. Um, yeah…I mean, I can see it. But it’s not really big or anything…not too big.”

He hedged his bets nicely with that answer, right? It took him three kids to learn that.

Unlike a few weeks ago when I was trying to hide the extra pudge, Week 23 has me in clothes that will scream from the mountain tops “CHECK OUT THIS ITTY-BITTY SOCCER BALL IN MY TUMMY!!!” In other words, I want my bump to look big.

Just like the last slide show I did, I don’t pretend to be as fashionable as Kourtney Kardashian (or have her budget), but sometimes it’s nice to see regular moms in regular clothes that still look kinda cute. Here are six of my favorite outfits in regular rotation right now, all picture perfect for highlighting the bump:

Blue and cream maxi from Hatch

Taking a cue from Rachel Zoe with the above-the-bump belt. Blue and cream striped maxi from Hatch Collection. Elastic belt from Target.

Navy and green color block from Liz Lange

Nautical fun from Target. Navy and green color block dress from Liz Lange. Ankle-tie wedges from Old Navy.

Colored denim from Fashion Forward Maternity

Who says preggos can\’t wear colored denim too? Turquoise cropped denim and ruched black tee from Fashion Forward Maternity.

So this isn\’t anything uber-fashionable, but I get laughs every time I wear this \”Hey Mom\” tank from Old Navy!

Navy and white Old Navy dress

More nautical fun with this super-comfy and flattering dress from Old Navy. Red wedges punch up the color!

Swim cover up from Target

With two kids already, I spend a good amount of time chasing after them at the pool. This cover-up from Target has drawn more compliments than all my others combined!
