pregnancy must haves

Heater blanket. This has been amazing for being pregnant in winter and just winter in general.  It soothes my back aches and siatic nerve pain too.

Leggings! I've been obsessed with these riding pants I just got from target.  They're pretty much just glorified leggings. Much thicker and a diffent sort of print makes them more dressy. 

Journal. I think this will be my most prized possession in the years to come.  I have been very faithful about writing in it and documenting things with pregnancy, my marriage, and other experiences. 

Body pillow. One of my big pillows to prop myself up on my side at night.  Laying on my back kills me and no more Savasna for me either.

Tums. I have had THE worst heart burn or acid reflux or whatever it is.  I burp so much as a result (TMI?) Tums have helped so much and relieve the pain.

Cocoa Butter lotion. I've avoided stretch marks so far and I have no idea if its genetics or religiously applying lotions.  But I lotion my stomach and thighs after I shower and whenever I feel like I need it.  So we'll see if it works!

Prenatals and Biotin. Prenatals are a no-brainer. Biotin for extra nail growth because contrary to what everyone has told me all my hair has thinned like you wouldnt believe!

Marvelash. I got Marvelash from Dayton for Christmas because, let's be honest, I dont have the budget for eye lash extensions every month.  It's a wand with a fine point brush tip.  I apply the syrum on my top and bottom lash line. I've noticed a definite difference in the past month.  I want long lashes for labor so I dont have to wear make up and of course for summer!
