My first pregnancy I don't remember feeling like a total slob. This is probably because I was still working a normal job where I got dressed in nice, tailored clothing and wore heels. I put on makeup every day. When my Hubby left for work I wasn't in a bathrobe, my hair a crazy mess, with dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep (since I slept much better last pregnancy.)

I am sure I am not the only mama who has felt this way during pregnancy, particularly in her third tri. Right?
So in an effort to feel a little better about myself I searched for ways to 'get my groove back' in this third trimester of pregnancy...
1. Self tanner. I feel better tan. If you feel sexy pale, more power to you; however, I am willing to invest in bronzer or going for a spray tan if that is going to help me feel sassier.

3. New hair style! Again, trying to be thrifty I did NOT go to the salon, rather I colored my hair at home. By myself. Red! Okay, well, technically it is 'dark auburn brown,' which is not extremely red, but redder than I have ever gone before. I have previously written about my wish for red hair. Turns out I LOVE IT. I feel sexier as a redhead. It really doesn't look drastically different, and maybe others think I am cuckoo for doing it...but it is fun and definitely makes me feel sexier. Score. {will post pics soon when I have the time to take with decent camera!}
4. Have more sex. This may seem like a no-brainer, but if you are not feeling sexy and then realize you really haven't been having sex with your husband as often as usual, it may help to increase that. Even when you are ginormously pregnant I am pretty sure your husband is into you. So forget that you are overly exhausted, bloated, and hormonal...and just do it. Just sayin'.
