As my pregnancy winds down I thought it would be fun to give a nod to a few things that really got me through!
La Croix - I can't believe that I didn't discover La Croix until recently but it really does the trick. I used to love drinking diet coke and haven't probably in years at this point, but the carbonation really makes me feel full so i don't over do it on snacking.
What to Expect When Expecting- What an amazing book! So helpful!! I almost had this sucker read in a week right when I found out we were pregnant. But it was great to go back every week and month to remind myself of what was going on with Baby Girl and if things I was experiencing was normal. I've also started reading What to Expect the First Year, also great!!
Forever Yogurt - It's like my karma was really good this year bc they opened the largest location in Chicago behind my house, good for me maybe bad for my waistline. But I don't go everyday and it's certainly better than regular ice cream.
Urban Oasis- Once I started to really show my back started to take a toll and regular massages became a thing. Urban Oasis has the best prenatal missus in Chicago, her name is Noreen and she's seriously the best!
Real Housewives - Take your pick on the city, I love them all. I guess this was a favorite preggo or not but man does it make me laugh, feel better about myself and entertain all the time!! Dave has already told me that I can't have Bravo on as she gets older bc it's a bad influence, couldn't agree more - mommy's guilty pleasure.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter- Lorin gave this to me when we went to visit them in Boston and while i realize stretch marks are hereditary I haven't had a one, now I just have to get through the next three weeks but so far so good!
Chocolate Chip Cookies - At least we know i'm my mother's daughter. Your Nanas biggest vice is chocolate chip cookies and aparently mine while pregnant. Mariano's might have the best if you want to buy them, but if i'm baking i'm using my good friend Paula's recipe bc it's the cookie bomb.com!!
