WEEK 38.
So we meet again..
this may be the last time I have the energy or will to blog until baby comes so I figured I would type out what have been my favorites life savors during this pregnancy. I plan on doing a post baby blog as well ( I typed one with Jax HERE) all about new mom favorites and nursing must haves. We will see what works this second time around..you know because just when you think you have this mom thing figured out baby number two wants to throw you for a loop :)
Things are pretty hot here around week 38...in June.. in Texas
I am pretty astonished that I am able to easily slide all three of my wedding rings around my finger and also wear all of my shoes. The swelling this time has not been as obvious as it was with baby Jax...hashtag JULY BABY.
Some other milestones to note are that I have been sleeping like a CHAMPION!!!! With Jax I was so incredibly miserable by this point in time and I was up every hour to pee during the night. James Lucas only taps my bladder once a night and allows me to sleep dreamlessly in peace. It could be that he is allowing me to enjoy sleep now while I can because once he makes his debut PARTY IS OVER MAMA! I will take it while I can though :)
I crave peaches, and cherries, and pineapple oh my.
I have melasma ( pregnancy mask google it) on my upper lip which looks like a mustache. I am constantly explaining to people that it is not a mustache making me sound like a total weirdo.
All of my shoes fit and that makes me happy :)
I am still walking daily and exercising at Stroller Strides when I can muster up the energy to go.
Now onto some of my favorite products for this pregnancy
1. The Snoogle Pillow ( shop HERE) is hands down one of my favorite products this time around. When I was pregnant with Jax I really had a love/hate relationship with this pillow.. It seemed a little bulky at times and it really wasn’t fitting well in my bed. Well fast forward a king bed and a second pregnancy later and I am in love. There isn’t a night that goes by that I don’t cuddle up to that pillow and I totally plan on bringing it to the hospital because I’m extra like that.
2. Coconut Oil ( Favorite brand HERE) but you can find this at HEB or really anywhere. I love coconut oil. It is a multifaceted product that you can pretty much use for anything.. I kept mine in the bathroom vs the kitchen because I use it for more beauty related things. I lathered this on my belly, took my eye makeup off with it, used it on dry cracked lips ( and also you can use it safely while breastfeeding during those painful early weeks)
3. Yeti Cup or Bubba Cup During my pregnancies I drink a TON of water. I am seriously like a camel when it comes to H20 not to mention nursing requires a lot of hydration. I find it really easy to drink a bunch of water when I have an easy access large cup at my dispose. I love the 40 oz Yeti but also the LARGE size bubba cup with matching straws. I think everyone knows about the Yeti’s so I will link to shop the Bubba cup HERE
4. Blanqui Leggings and Cake Nursing Bras ( shop leggings HERE and nursing bra HERE)
These are two of my staple pieces in my prenatal and postnatal wardrobe. The leggings are SO comfy... and once you have baby they hold everything in and are high enough to where nothing shows while nursing. The Cake nursing bras are so comfy you could even sleep in them. I love how they do not pull tight on the back and they offer a lot of support. Awesome products.
5. Vava Light ( shop light HERE ) This is more of a post pregnancy item but I have used it a few times in the middle of the night while getting up to go to the bathroom and it is AWESOME. This light is meant for middle of the night feeds and diaper changes..it is a very soft light that is touch sensitive and won’t stimulate baby ( or your sleeping husband unfortunately) it has a few multi functions with light sensitivity and charges just like phone would. Super great and affordable.
...Next post will be favorite baby products :)!!!!!!
