I wasn't expecting to feel beach sexy at 5 months pregnant, so I was just looking for a bathing suit that didn't look like an old lady's swim suit but kept me covered.  I found it!  I probably made the mistake in thinking that black is slimming, so that is what I ordered.  I live in florida and hit the beach last weekend with my new bathing suit and I was roasting hot (it is still April).  I like the fact that I can lift the tank part and tan my belly if I want; however, I'm also just not used to having so much fabric around me when I am in the water.  Guess that is just part of being pregnant.  In all, I'm glad I made the purchase; just in hindsight I would have probably gone for the tan color instead.
