Dear Pregnant Friends...
Sunday, October 2, 2011
I'm delighted to be surrounded by lots of beautiful, glowing pregnant gals. They keep coming out of the woodwork!
So here is a little post about things to stock up on now for YOU. I know you are online shopping 24/7 for baby stuff, but you deserve to splurge a bit on yourself. BTW, in case you're wondering about my credentials, having 1 baby makes me THE baby expert, obviously ;)
1. stretchy tops/dresses that you can pull down easily for quick access. May as well pack away everything else for a while!
2. stud earrings
3. all natural bath products and perfume oils- regular bath products are so toxic, not the best if you're nursing. This handmade soap is Detox for Baby from Spoiled Rotten. I love it for myself- haven't tried it on baby though.

5. comfy flat shoes- toms, rainbow sandals, ballet flats, furry moccasins.
6. scented candles- brought me a crazy amount of joy during those early months.
7. tubs of gourmet ice cream- try Clemmy's Ice Cream or La Loo's goat milk ice cream for fresh, all-natural versions.
8. kindle- all the times I woke Sisi woke up just because I turned a page. Save yourself the frustration :)
9. cute outfit for newborn photoshoot-baby's outfit is easy (birthday suit) but think ahead about what you'll want to wear. Something figure-forgiving, casual, and easy to throw on. I remember frantically dragging my 5 day old around Target searching for something to wear. I chose a dress that wasn't flattering, and showed my sweat like crazy. A flowy maxi-dress with bare feet would have been perfect (and hid my baby bump leftovers really well.)

I can't wait to see each of you become mommies. Your babies are already so blessed!!!

Oh man, I'm already feeling the urge to want another baby! Especially after this post. =)
BTW thanks for commenting on my fashion post. To answer your questions, yes I have the skirt in both colors =) It's super flattering and really cute with the Bearpaw boots. I would have worn it for the style post, but it was so hot it just seemed more appropriate to wear the shorts.

This is such a great post. I would agree with everything...especially the flat shoes (that you don't have to lace up). And the scented candles...yes! I went a little stir-crazy with my newborn and loved smelling the different scents. I'll have to share this with my preggo friends!
