For the record, I don't wear maternity socks. I don't even know what maternity socks are, or if they are even a thing.
So, here I am 21 weeks pregnant. I'm halfway through, and I've already experienced plenty of the usual prego woes.
These are a few of the items that I have become hugely (Ha! No pun intended) fond of!
Tums are my very best friend. I have a bottle on the kitchen counter at home, a bottle at my desk at work, and a cute little bottle that I carry around everywhere in my purse. Some days even water gives me heart burn.
BOBS by Sketchers are just fantastic! I bought the glitter ones so I can wear them to work, and the sole is a lot sturdier. They are loose enough so they don't pinch when my feet are swollen by the end of the day, but the soles are comfortable enough that I can still stand when my feet are swollen at the end of a very long day. You have to pay attention to the sole, though, when buying. They have one sole that is really flimsy like flip flops, and one that is a little more sturdy.
Bio-Oil is a heaven sent moisturizer! I will continue to use this after I have the baby. I bought it at the suggestion that it helps prevent stretch marks. I noticed a few on my boobs, and have been using this twice a day for a few weeks now, and the red marks are already fading. Plus, it absorbs into my skin, and leaves my whole body silky smooth. Even my feet are smoother, and I had a problem with dry, cracked heels. I add a drop or 2 of Eucalyptus Oil at night when my feet and ankles are swollen, and it helps keep it down.
Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. I could sit and eat an entire bag of these wonderful little gems. This baby loves her some chocolate, and I'm being a good little Mommy by making sure there's protein in said chocolate because I heard on the radio that candy with nuts or peanut butter is good for you the best candy for you.
We are currently working on the baby's room, so I will have nursery pictures soon. We've got half the room painted
