Happy Friday friends! I begin my third trimester next week…so crazy how quickly time flies! As you can see, I'm maximizing my pre-pregnancy pants and shorts for as long as I can thanks to this ingenious tool. However, this little lady is gonna make it hard for my pants to stay on that way pretty soon…she's just about 2 lbs by now {according to typical stats}, and I'm up about 10 lbs. She's also set up camp on the right side of my belly. Did any of you mama's out there have a baby that preferred one side over the other? I imagine she's got a fort set up with some comfy pillows and a good movie in there too.
I'm heading on my last flight during pregnancy this weekend to Philly to see family and looking forward to meeting some of you Monday at my blog workshop! Have a great weekend all! — Joy

such a cute polka dot outfit! 🙂
I looked like a lopsided beach ball with my daughter. She stayed on my side all the time.
I looked just like you prego. Such a joy!
I’m just starting week 29 today and I’ve noticed that she seems to like my right side better too. I’m so jealous you can wear your regular pants still. I had to give those up weeks ago because my butt, thighs, and hips have definitely gotten bigger.
girl, you are the cutest!
Iris liked the right side! This wasn’t particularly noticeable to me until I was in labor. If I was on my back or left side, her heart rate would drop (so scary the first time it happened), so I had to lay on my right side! Once the epidural kicked in, the nurses had to come flip me occasionally so the meds didn’t all drain to the right. Haha! The things we do for our little ones!
My boy has chosen my right side too! He gets the hiccups twice a day too and it’s just so sweet! I love it! Lucky you almost being in the homestretch!!
Too cute! Every time my daughter moved around a lot, my husband joked that she was moving furniture around!
Joy, you look adorable! My son (Nathaniel) chose my right side too. I remember constantly having my hand there, holding him the outside world. 🙂
You are too cute 🙂
eee! getting so big!! too cute. safe travels, joy!
just adorable! have a great/safe flight & happy weekend.
Just to add to the chorus – I’m 34 weeks and my little guy has been a right-sider for the whole third trimester so far. Except when he decides to dart over to the other side for a quick change of scenery. Ouch!
I love how you have looked so stylish throughout pregnancy. It inspires me to put myself together a little better.
You make pregnancy look so fun! (i’m sure it is 🙂 )
You look fabulous, and I’m so excited for the workshop! Safe travels!
I just started week 27 yesterday as well! I think baby is on the right side more, at least that is where most of the activity seems to be, but I can’t see any difference from the outside.
I’ll be 27 weeks on Sunday, and only in the last week or so has the little dude poked me anywhere but my lower left side. So strange, right?
Hope you feel as great as you look! xo
Happy Friday! You look adorable!
My little gal was a right side until around 30weeks and now she flips back and forth, which is good. It gives my ribs a little rest. Love the outfit by the way! I can’t wait to get back into pants. 🙂
ahh! so cute. i am so excited for you.
Hurray third trimester! And I love the outfit–your pink pants are so cool.
My little lady spent most of her time up near my rib cage…such a bizarre feeling! And there was a big debate between my midwives as to whether the lump I kept seeing there was her head or her buns!!! (Turns out it was buns…whew!)
Looking forward to meeting you at Monday’s workshop!
You look adorable! Love the outfit too!
Absolutely adorable. Love the polka dots!
You look adorable, as always!
And, yes, my sons camped out on my left side – my left ribs protrude a little more now!
Such a cute outfit! I love the thought of wearing a belt like that when pregnant!
oh my gosh, you are so cute. I am 17 weeks along, and just went shopping for maternity clothes last night and was really frustrated . . . seeing how great you look inspires me to not give up and just wear sweatpants for the next 6 months straight!
My two boys preferred my right, and this girl does too!
how exciting! it’s been so nice being able to follow your journey becoming a mama & still going strong with oh joy! 🙂 love your approach to this life event & makes me feel more confident about the possibility of adventuring towards this direction.
you look fantastic! so excited for you both. happy travels.
AAH I hope I’m as cute as you when I’m pregnant!
You look great, so cute!, have a safe flight and have a happy friday and weekend!!.
You look adorable! So exciting!
You look fantastic! 🙂
love, love, love the outfit. I really need to pick up some vibrant pants. can’t wait for the workshop monday!
You are such a cute pregnant lady!

Hey Joy, I’m from Brazil and I always read your blog. You are sooooo beautiful with the pregnancy. Congrats for your little girl! Kisses.
you look adorable! and only up 10 lbs? what is your secret!
i so remember pushing what i thought of as the little head of my daughter out of my rib cage on the right side. it is hard to believe we will be celebrating her 24th birthday in 3 weeks!
yikes! it goes fast.
Donna,
I was really sick 1st trimester from nausea so I lost 5 lbs during that time so I think that put me a little behind in the weight gain dept but OB says baby is on track growth wise and not to worry! I do workout a few times a week (not as intense or as much as I used to pre-pregnancy), and Ive always been active so for me it helps feel less sluggish!
Joy
you look great Joy
Joy, looking soo stylish and gorgeous! 🙂 I envy youuuu…
The last trimester all my fashion sense went out the window. I exploded faster than the previous two trimesters and just couldn’t keep up. Whenever I thought of getting a new cute outfit, the sense that it would only going to last me 2 mths max stopped me from ever getting anything at all 😀
My baby girl always has her back at the left and kicks my right rib. She’s late, and is now 4 days past her due as I write this comment. Hopefuly she comes out soon 😉 I already prepared cute tiny dresses for her.
Wishing you the best for your baby girl too!
oh my…you are seriously cute!! love your outfit + that belly is adorable.
my babies both liked to stick their behinds out, with their heads down…so, i always had a big lump up high on my belly where their bums were! lol.
ahhh…how I miss those days.
Best to you in the final stretch!
aww, looking good mama-to-be! those pink pants are so cool, by the way.
I’m at almost 30 weeks and my baby (also a girl) is also sitting on my right side and has been in a little pocket there pretty much since our first ultrasound. She’s sitting on a nerve and making veins go CRAZY…but she’s worth it. Third trimester, here we come!
I’m 27 weeks yesterday!! It sounds like a few of your other readers are too! So cool!
You are such a cutie pie. So happy I found your blog. Hugs!
I’m right behind you a week, and my little boy is an in the middle allllll the way low. As low as he can get, so pants are not fun to wear…
It’s been fun to compare your progress with my own… Happy Pregnancy to you!
Hi Joy! You look darling! This whole outfit – perfection! Where did you get your Liebling shoes? I can’t find them anywhere here in San Francisco. Keep smiling!
Oh, you look fantastic! And thoose shoes are really cute. And i must say, you, your blog and your work is really inspiring!
Hi Jenny,
Thank you! The shoes you can order online through Lieblings website!
Joy
So jealous you can still fit your pants! :(I am 31 weeks tomorrow and I can only pull off maxi dresses. You look so cute and my daughter has decided the left side is hers and that’s where she stays! lol
You look adorable! I have loved your blog for a while! You are so inspirational!
Cutie PIE! You look adorable hun & that polka dot belly is so sweet! Hope you are feeling good in the hot summer weather!
xo
Melis

I’ll be 28 weeks on Saturday and my girl loves the right side as well!
