Snapshots of Our Life: My Pregnancy & New Baby Must Haves

This was a great way to pass the time. It was fun to read how Gemma was growing and developing each month. I might even read it with the next baby(s).

Exercise - I didn't always feel like it, but it did make me feel better and my delivery was easier because of it. Gemma was used to me "working out" and so her heart rate did not drop at all during labor and delivery! (I pretty much stuck to the treadmill, elliptical, and yoga.)

PEDICURES! (There is the best place in Tualatin! Need to go back soon!)

Water bottles - I have never drank so much water in my life!

Moisturizing Cream - I used this along with the oil towards the end of my pregnancy. I would put it on after a shower just where my skin seemed tight. I only have one little stretch mark right by my belly button! (and I got it the last couple days I was prego - too bad
I went over my due date . . .)

The Bobby Prego Pillow - I didn't use it for my head to sleep on like in the picture, but really helped take the pressure off my hips.

This little light was great for those late night feedings. Just bright enough for me to see and not bright enough to wake up the hubby.

This feeding pillow is called 'Mybrestfriend'. I love how it stayed put unlike the boppy. It has nice back support and a little pocket for a pacifier or burp rag . . .

I loved this bathtub! Little babies are so slippery! It is a comfy mesh material. I would put it in the big bath tub and fill it up just so that Gemma had a little water coming through the mesh to keep her warm. Then we put a blanket over it and used for a little seat for months!

Perfect for babies face. Gemma had some redness for a little while and my mom picked me up some of this from Nordstrom and Gemma hasn't been red since!
