What I Wore This Week (No. 216) – Closetful of Clothes

what i wore the second week of october 2024

Oh, hello October. How did you sneak up on us? It’s so weird when I go to create these posts because I have to look at the date, and I feel old (and redundant) because I’m always like how is it the middle of September/how is summer over/how is it OCTOBER?! But like HOW IS IT OCTOBER? I have officially entered my due date month. I’m feeling all the feels about this. As someone who shares clothes and outfit ideas on the Internet now, it’s hard to be this pregnant. I don’t feel like getting dressed, there’s not a lot that fits (although hopefully I’m doing a big service here figuring out what does and you’ll appreciate what I wore the first week of October 2024) and I don’t like how I look on camera. I actually never do and cringe every time I take a pic or post a video, but it feels especially abhorrent right now. I also am just so exhausted and feeling so full all the time. But I also love being pregnant (I know I’m one of those annoying ones) and I know this will be my last pregnancy. It feels bittersweet. What a blessing it has been to be able to be pregnant, something I’ll never take for granted after our struggles with infertility. But also, to have a life growing inside me, the kicks, the excitement etc. I am sad that I’ll never have that experience again. It’s truly magical even though this pregnancy has involved a lot of sickness and exhaustion and aches and pains that I didn’t necessarily remember with my others.

But here we are in the home stretch. I am hoping I don’t go early. I want to be pregnant for a bit longer. I’m not ready at all to welcome another baby or to have four kids tbh. I don’t know that one ever is but I’m especially not right now. I have so much work to get done both work work wise and on the house and in prepping for the baby and just in general. I don’t even feel like we’re settled in our fall routine yet or prepped ahead for all the things I won’t have time for once the baby is here. I don’t even have a plan for when I go into labor. Need to get on that, but time is chugging by and I’m still getting dressed. So here’s what I wore the first week of October 2024.
