Pregnant and Fashions


I consider myself a pretty fashionable wombman. I love to look beautiful, rather it be in my jeans that fit your booty just right or that blouse that shows your skin in the most flattering way or that color of yellow or orange that makes you smile from the inside out. I just have one problem pregnant fashion. I've been doing pretty well thus far and I must say that there have been strives in making pregnant women look beautiful in the last few years (Shout to Heidi Klum for being one of the most fashion foward pregnant woman).

I just want to still look 28 I don't want to look like I'm a beached whale and I don't want to surrender my identity to do so. I'm young and vibrant and well I like the way yellow looks on my skin and this is the perfect time for me because It's SPRING YEY!!!


So I have an Idea. If you would email me (seedsbeans@gmail.com) all your photos of beautifully fashionable women while pregnant I'll post my favorites. I'll start with some celebraties and art photos just to get started.


THE BOHO~BOHEMIAN~HIPPY~LOW MAINTAIN LOOK













This look is just so easy and still quite beautiful when worn properly. I Love the long flowing gown type wear and the sandles just gives that bollywood feel.



























The Belly OUT Full Throttle !!!
Now I'm not a fan of this look unless done right. I mean let's be clear everyone should not have the belly out it's just not a good look but some or able and brave enough to pull this off!!! As for me well NO, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! But you can't deny the glow of a woman enjoying her baby belly :)




NOW I WANT YOU ALL TO SEND ME YOUR PREGNANT FASHIONS, THE GOOD AND THE BAD! I still have 4 months to get so help me out here cause I'm going to get big LOL
Life is love ~Emp

A love Deep inside


I have a love inside that grows
Everlasting as my cup overflows
Never knew I was be so thrilled to be kicked
Never knew I would be grateful for the sick mornings
and afternoon naps
mid morning snacks
and sharp pains in my back
but I got a love for the pain you bring cause I know you're growing
I know you getting bigger and quicker
eating more cause I'm thicker
my hips are spreading my breast as swollen
Miracles manifesting inside my womb
and I assume
that your eyes will slant slightly like mine
that your fingers will stretch out and it's me you'll find
I'm forever transformed by the love we have
I dream of simple things like your first laugh and bath
It's funny how in one moment you got from girl to wombman from wombman to mother
And I know our love will never be like another
But I treasure you
The 7am kick in the bladder
the pure exhaustion as I get fatter
You are my Seed and Bean and we're in this together
as Mother I am your warrior, your rock, your sheppard

The Serenity of Morning


I am never more amazed at the wonders of life. I'm now five months in and can feel my seed and bean and let me tell you they are active. They are my balance, as I can feel one of them in my abdomen and the other right underneath my heart. It's amazing but I keep hearing Lauryn Hill sing nothing even matters because well it doesn't.


You know when you realize that motherhood is here you change. This change takes place at different stages for different wombmen but for me I think it's happened multiple times so far. I felt like a mother the moment I realized I was pregnant; I felt like a mother the first ultrasound, the first heart beat and now that I can feel life moving around in me it's like you have a different raspect a different approach to everything you thought you had planned for yourself.


I want so much for them. I read to them, and sing to them, they are my poetry audience and we listen to every type of music from Miles Davis Bitch's Brew (shout to Auntie/JahMother Earth CrySiS) to The Eagles In the City. Yesterday I was on a Stevie Wonder mood and then all of a sudden Les Nubians started singing to my heart and so we went there. And they started moving and fluttering and I knew then my babies were going to love the arts as much as I do.


Although everyone has their predictions as to what they are all different combos of boy/girl , girls, boys their health has been the only thing that has mattered to me and I've taken that and run with it. I am taking back my joy. I even listened to Anita Baker's you bring me joy LOL. I know that I'm a good sistar, friend, queen, person and mother and well I've placed nothing but positive in the UnI-verse so I know that comes back. You know how people say you feel love for your children when you don't even know them well that is so true and I vow to do everything in my life forever for them. I live love and laugh for my children, my Seed and Bean.




Mama (Yeyo)loves you
