I have conceded that I will be practically living in dresses this summer/early fall. What good stores/sites have inexpensive but yet nice dresses for work as well as casual ones? I don't want to spend a fortune as I'm hoping I won't ever be this big again ( even if I get KU again). I weigh more now than I really should (gained 40lbs since the wedding due to depression and IF meds) so I plan on going on a serious weigh-loss plan as soon as the baby arrives.

I got some very cute dresses from ON. Some of the ones they have now that arent maternity you could totally get away with early on. Add a cardigan, some cute shoes and you can totally wear most of them to the office.
How are you feeling?
Unfortunitely, I fit right in that size range.

Looks like I'll be checking out ON. I just hope I can find some business-casual looking dresses.
I'm ok. I have just had a bit of m/s but I can keep it at bay if I constantly snack. I just have to make sure I don't gain too much weight. Oh and apparently I'm starting to show b/c a few people at work have commented on my "baby bump."

Just something to keep in mind, because I always think that I want to live in dresses in the summer as well, but if you do gain weight or depending on how your weight is distributed on your body dresses may mean thighs rubbing together. I know some of our ladies got very swollen in their legs during their pregnancies and I imagine in summer heat the last thing you'd want is your thighs chaffing together
Maybe dresses with a couple pairs of light leggings?
I also imagine anywhere you'd regularly shop if they had empire waists or loose fabrics you could just buy in a bigger size. Otherwise, I have no idea since I have not traveled to the land of maternity wear as of yet.
That's a really good point. I may have to look into leggings or old lady pantaloon undies

That is a very good point and unfortunately happened to me when I was super swollen. Light leggings totally did the trick though!

I just found these on sale @ Kohl's for $11.
Sure, they are really high on the granny factor but I think they will be less constricting & very lightweight compared to some other options. Oh well, I think being sexy goes out the window once you are very pregnant.
