Not so good at this!

So I have decided I am not so sure I am that good at being pregnant! I know I know many women have done this many times and I should be so grateful to have the chance to be pregnant. I really am!! I am so grateful everyday for this tiny growing miracle inside of me. As much as I am happy to be blessed with this amazing gift I have to be honest, there are times when terror strikes! This is a HUGE deal here! I know taking it one day at a time is the only way to get through it alive!! I just watch so many amazing examples around me and I think to my self "yeah they are good at this, but can I really do ALL of that." It's times when I have flash forwards that I get overwhemled. I have so much to learn! I have discovered some things that make me happy at this stage on my path to becoming a Mama! I wanted to share them maybe they will make you or someone you know happy too!!





This book is awesome! I got tired of reading such serious books on pregnancy and parenting. I think they were making me more paranoid than anything so I switched to this. It is such a fun real look at the whole experience. The author is great! It feels like I am getting advice from my best friend. This is a #1 on my list



This one made me laugh when I discovered it! I love what its called! BOOB TUBE!! But it really has been a gem!! I love it. If you want more details on what it does maybe you should call me! :)



These are also another gem I have discovered! This is called the Belly Bar. They are good but not too flavorful, if too much makes you sick. I keep a few in my purse at all times so if I feel like I am going to get sick or I am working and I can't stop to eat something I will grab one of these! The pink and green are my favorites!



This is the mother load!! If you have old or new stretch marks this is the thing to get. It really does help. I will be honest I check my self all the time to see if I can find any signs of stretch marks and sometimes I even make Curt check just in case I am missing any area my eyes can no longer reach. Many people say you can't do anything about stretch marks, either you get them or you don't. I decided I didn't want to take the chance and see if they are right or not I just want to do everything possible to prevent it. This cream actually lightens old marks and is supposed to be preventative as well. Let's hope it works. So far so good!!

Oh and stretch marks are just a sign of a huge heart and your amazing sacrifice so if you have them don't fret. You are amazing for going through what you did to get them!



I really think I would die without a fruit smoothie. I had to start adding peanut butter so I would have the extra protein to get me through. I did discover that I could use weight loss shakes as well. Ones like Slim Fast but I usually get the cheaper brand. The great thing about those is it has more nutrients than just peanut butter but has almost as much protein!! YUM

Next, this book is on my list! I can't wait to get it! I have read the first few pages and have looked through it to see the titles and topics of the rest of the chapters and it looks like another fun book with a blunt, real take on pregnancy and becoming a parent.



Once I actually read it I can tell you if it is worth the buy!

There are all my secrets to staying focused and calm during this "GROWING" time! If any of you wise, practiced mothers out there have any more tips please pass them on!! I would appreciate it!
