Surviving Pregnancy

My post title might be a little dramatic

but these are the things that have helped me get through these last 22 weeks.

1. Lucie's List

http://www.lucieslist.com/

This has by far been the most helpful resource!

I have subscribed to her perfectly timed e-mails.

They are filled with honest and humorous advice.

She tells it like it is, and I like it!

2. Johnson's Baby Creamy Oil

 

I know this is really meant for babies

but I love how light and creamy it is.

I have purchased oils and butters that are specifically for pregnant bellies

but they take forever to soak in and end up leaving marks on my shirts.

This lotion absorbs quickly, smells heavenly, and is really moisturizing.

3. Gap Body's Clearance Rack

I am so thankful Gap Body has amazing markdowns.

I think these ta-ta's are growing at the same rate as Greta herself.

4. Chobani Greek Yogurt

Even though I am now eating meat,

Greek yogurt has been a lifesaver for

conveniently providing lots of protein & calcium while I am at work.

5. 1" Curling Iron

After cutting my hair off,

it has been much easier to style.

Even though the above sentence is true,

I have become the laziest possible version of myself I have ever known.

This handy little curling iron saves the day about 6 out of 7 days a week.

{That is assuming that 7th day, I do not leave the house ;)}

Even when my hair is dirty as you-know-what and

 my pillow has made a seemingly permanent mark,

this guy sets my hair straight {well, curly I guess} in no time flat.

6. Honeycrisp Apples & Potato Chips

My two big-time cravings!





7. The Side Sleeper Pillow


OMG
I am SO thankful for this pillow!
It has been awesome now that I am sleeping on my side exclusively.
I have a tendency to want to roll over on my back in the middle of the night
and this prevents me from doing so,
while providing the necessary neck and shoulder support to comfortably sleep on my side.
