You're in the sweet spot of pregnancy! Soak it all in! Destination Maternity is a great store. They have a wide variety of items from several maternity lines, but some brands/items are pretty pricey. The Motherhood Maternity stores are a bit more wallet-friendly, and you might be able to find a Motherhood outlet store.

Congrats to you! I don't know personally what it's like to be pregnant, but my sister has had three children and there is nothing that gets me more excited than that whole process. Watching the baby grow, picking out clothes and outfits. Going to Babies R Us tends to make me all warm and fuzzy inside haha. Happy pregnancy!
