a few of my favorite things as of late..

A few things that have gotten me through pregnancy so far....
  1. Working out...this has been a HUGE thing for me. I am lucky enough to be able to go to the gym 4-5 times a week and do cardio for about 45-hr plus weights when I go. I feel like I have more energy and a better desire and craving to eat healthy.
  2. Stretch mark oil and lotion. I am obsessed with Clarins stretch mark oil..not only is it working for me so far but also smells really good!! I mix it with a less expensive lotion so it last longer!
  3. Foot massages. I have had some serious problems with my foot and was in the middle of doing physical therapy my 2 time around when I found out I was pregnant..so I was unable to finsh...anyways..a miracle has happened and my foot is almost all the way better. Dave is kind enough to massage my feet every night before bed.
  4. Body pillow.  These things are wonderful. We just got a regular long body pillow. Nothing fancy or expensive. I love it.  I was more of a back and stomach sleeper before I got pregnant and even though my Dr said I could continue to sleep as so..I decided not to. This body pillow helps my back and provides extra cushion!
  5. Coke.  I don't care what people say or think about this. I am perfectly ok to drink this..(another OK from my Dr) It helped with morning sickness and honestly gets me through some days!
  6. Bellaband. I love it! I have not had to buy maternity jeans or shorts yet..I also use an elastic to button my pants. 
  7. Maternity clothes. Yeah, I know with the style and all that some people get away with wearing regular shirts and stuff throughout their pregnancy...well, I would rather be comfortable! There are cute maternity stores!  ASOS is one of my favorites! Oh, and of course Gap and Old Navy!
I can't think of anymore at the moment! I am sure I will later! I just want to remember these things for my other pregnancies and well..just because! If you have any items that helped you through please share! I would love to know!!!

  1. I drink Diet MT Dew every day. So don't feel bad. I miss going to the gym. I am not allowed to exercise because of my pregnancy issues. I am sure I will be as big as a house!

  2. Definitely the rubber band for pants. I didn't buy maternity pants/shorts until I was 8 months pregnant. You should really read Jenny McCarthy's "Belly Laughs" it is hilarious!
