Must-Haves when expecting

Below are some things I could not live without: 
  • Ginger ale:  Canada Dry's helped me through the first 3 months of constant nausea
  • Crackers/Bread:  saltines and/or any kind of bread (heavy starch) also help with nausea and lack of appetite
  • Tonic water:  helped me with RLS (restless leg syndrome) that crept up on me right before I fell asleep.  Maybe it was all in my head, but after a glass of drinking tonic water the rls went away w/in 10 min.
  • Pregnancy pillow:  My Leachco pillow aided my restless nights of tossing and turning.  I think I got the most out of it during my second trimester
  • Movie nights:  Since going out dancing and Vegas trips were out of the question, watching movies with the husband and friends became a ritual.  WELL WORTH it!  Oh how I miss the movies!
  • Dining out:  Eat out at your favorite restaurants as much as you can!  Once the little one arrives, it's dining in for as long as a month or who knows...even longer! 
  • Leggings:  Gap maternity has great leggings! They are so comfy and soft, they were the only things I wanted to wear. 
  • Balance Bars:  Yogurt Honey Peanut is my favorite.  I would have one of these a day on the way to work. 
  • Water!:  TONS! is a must.
  • Bella Bands:  When your pants fit everywhere else except the waist
  • Sleep:  Getting as much rest when possible
