Hi friends!! I really didn't buy much for this pregnancy. But I have gotten asked a few questions so I thought I'd go over my top 5 pregnancy items. Most except for #3 are new for this pregnancy. Being pregnant in the summer calls for a lot of new workout gear and swimsuits. So here is a quick run down of my must haves for any of you who are currently pregnant.
1. QUEEN ROSE 55 in Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
Last pregnancy I had just a long pillow, but this pregnancy I decided to get one of these U pillows. Jay calls it my Mama Dock A Tot, since we are big fans of the Dock A Tot and he said this is a adult version! I really love this pillow and the big question is..... will I continue to sleep with it when I'm not pregnant. We shall see.
2. Maternity Belt - I didn't have to wear a belt with Leo, Leo sat really high and I never felt like I needed support. Although I am smaller (according to the belly measurements at the doctor and less weight gained) this pregnancy I have needed this belt for support when I exercise. I also used it when I know am going to be on my feet a lot (ahem yard work). When I'm feeling a lot of pressure and need something to hold me in a little tighter but the belt seems aggressive I wearthis maternity sleeve.

3. Mama Mio The Tummy Rub Butter- I didn't get stretch marks last time I don't know if that was genetics or this tummy butter but since it seemed to work last time I am using it again. I was way better about applying it last pregnancy, this pregnancy I just apply it at night but it seems to be working again!
4. Swimsuit- Who would of thought one of my best pregnancy purchase would be maternity swimsuits. I bought 2 new suits and because this summer is freaking hot and I have been in a swimsuit at least 3 times a week. My favorite is the Kimi and Kai suit from Nordstrom as seen below.
5. Workout Pants/Shorts- Workout clothes are a must, I have had great luck on amazon with their leggings (they sell motherhood maternity). I also have loved my workout shorts from Old Navy they have been the real all stars in my closet for exercise and lounge shorts as well as Old Navy tanks. They are great quality for a cheap price and I'm all about not spending much on maternity items.

Pregnancy Must Haves
Nothing too crazy as you can see but I keep getting asked questions so I thought I'd share with you a few of my All-Star pregnancy items!
I'm headed to Columbia Center Mall today to do some back to school shopping, I can't wait to share with you another great partnership. Can you believe it is already time to start talking about back to school, where did summer go? The one good thing is the closer we are to school starting the closer we are to this baby.
Cheers,
Jess
