Favorite Things
A few of my favorite things…
This is the first post in, hopefully, a series of posts about my favorite things through pregnancy and the first crazy months of being a new mom. So, these are a few of my favorite things in the first 5 months of pregnancy.
1. Fruit… I can’t get enough
2. The Pregnancy Journal, A day-to-day guide to a healthy and happy pregnancy – Our daily reading about what the baby did that day is one of the highlights of the evening!
3. Pregnancy Yoga (as of week 21 when back pain sets in) – I have Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea. She says the word “exhale” funny, but overall it has been awesome at helping me not feel so sore and stiff. I would definitely recommend starting something like this at the beginning.
4. Mini-cups of Blue Bell homemade vanilla – It’s the perfect size for a sweet treat and I don’t feel very guilty after!
5. Carter’s Child of Mine Memory Book from Walmart – I just got this book and I am in love with it! It is simple, it covers all the basics you would want to remember but it doesn’t go into too much detail. I have already filled out all the mommy and daddy information and that has been a lot of fun! I make not promises to little baby boy or subsequent children that I will complete a memory book for each of them, but I think I have my best shot of doing it with this book!
Last but not least – One of my most favorite things… My Husband! Nguyen has been so awesome throughout this whole experience so far! He has taken over in the kitchen, he makes the bed now (wow!), he compliments my quickly growing belly… and best of all, I love love love seeing how excited he is over his son! It’s awesome! Thanks dear for being so great!
He wasn’t feeling up for a photo shoot… so this was the alternative!!
you for got “tacos” on that list.
You’re right, dear. How could I have forgotten the only food to get me through my morning sickness! I should make a special post dedicated only to the homemade taco!
The Child of Mine memory book is a favorite of mine as well. One of my very favorite things still is running to get the book any time Giovanni does any new cute thing! Yeah for you! I’m so excited- hey, by the way do you have a boppy yet? That was one of the BEST presents I got. Hey, give me your address anyway. Baby Nguyen needs a little spoiling from Aunti Becca!
Oh! Nevermind- I forgot I have everyone’s addresses!
Becca, you are too sweet! I hope that I am that mom that runs to get the book when anything precious happens! I can’t wait!
Becca, I’m glad you like the boppy. When we got it for you we weren’t sure if it would be useful or not. I have heard some people absolutely love it and some have never used theirs. I went ahead and registered for one. It seems like a good thing to have around.
