There are a few things that I have come to love and call essentials during my early days as a baby making oven. The criteria to make it on this list is simple - you must require little or no effort and easily be followed by sleep. Simple. Just the way I like things these days.
1. L'Occitane Shea Butter - This product kept coming up as a good fighter of stretch marks. So being prone I decided to splurge and give it a go. So far, so good. Not that my belly has grown much. Even if it doesn't prevent those nasty marks it feels amazing on skin. From someone that rarely splurges on beauty products this one is worth it.
2. A Water Bottle - Before being pregnant I didn't drink a lot of water. Since falling I have to share my time between drinking water and sleeping. I always have a water bottle with me now.
3. Up The Duff - I love this book. It is a light hearted but informative read.
4. Garnier De Tangler - Who knew your hair didn't fall out when you are pregnant? Probably everyone except me! This mixed with my already thick hair causes all kinds of tangle in my hair. This product is a lifesaver, day and night.
Ultimately all I need is a bed. I could sleep all day and all night and not need a single thing. Even still, I am loving my pregnancy so far. I am so thankful for it every second.
