1. I purchased the Snoogle fairly early on because I really like to sleep and I know I have difficulties sleeping on my left side. I am a strictly stomach sleeper. Granted the Snoogle is like adding another human to our bed and looks a bit obnoxious, but it helps me sleep. Truly. I have been sleeping on my left side the majority of this pregnancy (I am all about that increased blood flow!), and it wouldn't be possible without the Snoogle. I have tried using a regular body pillow in past pregnancies, and there is no comparison.
2. I love these Gap Pure Body Tanks. They fit my body and growing bump perfectly. I wore them alone during the summer and now that the temps are getting a big chillier I throw a cardigan over them and call it a day. They are currently on sale, and I plan on purchasing a couple more. I love them that much. They are the perfect length, have the perfect amount of stretch and also provide the perfect level of coverage (not see through thin).
3. I have not used essential oils during the majority of my pregnancy, but now that I am in my third trimester I have decided to start using a few. My favorite to use is Young Living's Gentle Baby. I have found myself getting ridiculously anxious and restless at night and a few drops of this on my chest or in a bath and I all of the anxiety melts away.
4. If you are a new reader then you have no idea how much I love my Hydro Flask or should I say Hydro Flasks. Staying hydrated is super important during pregnancy and doing so is much easier with the Hydro Flask as I always have cold water. Who is a fan of luke warm water? Not me. I have found myself drinking more around the clock than ever before (thanks to waking up for those frequent bathroom breaks). I have my permanent bedtime Hydro Flask (32 oz), my permanent work Hydro Flask (18 oz) and my weekend on the go Hydro Flask (24 oz). I am a Hydro Flask addict and for good reason!
5. Good maternity jeans! My personal favorites are the Jessica Simpson in Petite. I have had some major issues finding maternity jeans that work for me. I am not sure what the deal is, but the majority have too short of a rise if they are petite, they are too long if they are a regular and the bands do not stay up. My only gripe is the band only comes in a dark blue which can be an issue if you are wearing a lighter top.
6. Crocs. Yup, I said it. One of my not so pleasant pregnancy symptoms is swollen feet. I do not mean need to go up 1/2 size swollen feet, but rather need to go up an entire size and my feet still look like stuffed sausages. These have been my saving grace. I can honestly say I do not wear any other shoes at this point, why should I suffer when I have found perfection? Are they the most fashionable? Absolutely not, but they work with my casual office attire and you can barely see them if I am wearing a maxi skirt or dress. They offer support, easy to slip on and plenty of room for my growing feet as the days go on. To be honest I cannot even say if I will be giving these us after pregnancy.
