Surviving Pregnancy

Here are some products that have

helped me get through 6 months of being preggo.

Bra Extender

I ordered mine off Amazon for a couple of bucks,

and it has truly saved my life... literally.

 I was honestly suffocating without these magical 2 inches.

I didn't notice the severity of the {ah-hem} problem

until I easily attached one of these pups to my new "maternity" bras.

{By new, I mean I bought them in the first trimester,

which is still new to me

since that was only a couple of months ago!!}

I refused to buy another bra to only grow out of it later...

to only have to buy nursing bras in a few months...

 you catch my drift?!?

It has definitely saved me money in the long run!

Must buy if your ta-tas are growing like mine! ;)

Spanx Power Mama

Also an Amazon purchase,

Spanz Power Mamas have been another nice purchase

 in the intimates section.

They are comfy and offer support to my achy back.

I have only worn them under dresses

but as the weather continues to drop

I might wear as an added layer to keep warm, too!

Camelbak Insulated Water Bottle

This is my favorite water bottle!

I love the straw for its convenience

and am especially fond of the insulation.

I have been craving ice cold water

and the insulation surrounding this bottle helps

 keep my water just that while I am teaching.

Clementines + Tangerines

I could eat 25 of these in one sitting.

No. Joke.

Bio Oil

I know they say you can't really prevent stretch marks

but this provides me with some comfort

in knowing that I am at least trying.

I have stretch marks left over from puberty :'(

so I am pretty worried about getting them during pregnancy, too.

I know they will fade and

they are a mark of the beautiful process of giving life

but they still aren't fun, ya know?!
