Pregnancy Confessions. Ft. Hello Apparel

Is there truly a better shirt in existence? The answer is no. Hello Apparel most definitely had a pregnant mommas feelings in mind when creating this one of a kind t-shirt. I'm 20 weeks.. and I think I say this to myself on a daily basis, lord help me once we reach our third trimester. Not only is our shirt insanely soft, the shipping time was absolutely incredible and the size is just as stated on the website. I find that somehow when online shopping I end up with the wrong fit even after measuring myself and going by a shops sizing chart, for this shirt to be so true to it's size is a miracle especially being made for maternity (i.e. the hardest 9 months to decipher size ever).

In honor of our favorite pregnancy wardrobe addition, I thought it would be a perfect time for some Pregnancy Confessions. This being my second baby I have found myself unintentionally more relaxed than I was when I was pregnant with Carter. I was constantly googling everything that was going on as well as everything that could go wrong and basically put myself into a big pregnant bubble. A second pregnancy is no "excuse" to do things that you shouldn't but lets face it.. we all goof every once in a while. Here are just a few of my mishaps and cruel pregnancy tricks I've played thus far:

Caffeine 
You heard me. I need my cup of coffee each and every morning to keep me going. Without it I simply cannot make it through my day giving my toddler the attention that he needs! In my first trimester I was so turned off to the idea of coffee, the craving didn't come back around until about 14 weeks. But every morning since I have indulged in a cup while Carter eats breakfast and our bun in the oven bounces around.

Cars
So pretty early on in pregnancy I thought it would be a good idea to teach Carter that the BEST place to drive his cars was on mommy's back.. therefor getting random 30 minute massages throughout my day! Someday he will catch on but I have no shame in continuing this path for as long as he will take it.

Blow Up Mattress
The first trimester can be so difficult. Our first trimester was absolutely terrible, I had never been so sick and tired in my life. So what was our cure all? Blowing up the air mattress in Carters 100% baby proof room, flipping on endless sesame street, supplying him with toys and napping my days away on the floor (getting up to be sick periodically). Truly there was no other way I would've been able to know that Carter was in a safe environment while getting the rest my body begged for!

Cool Whip
As many of you know, I have had a thing for strawberries this pregnancy.. a "thing" to say the least. We should buy stock in strawberries. For months I went through two boxes a day and wanted to eat nothing else. AJ brought home some whip cream during one of his shopping trips and that's when it all started. I confess that since then I have had strawberries covered in whip cream all the time. And every time.. I tell myself it's the last time. I'm lying to myself and I know it.

While I do in fact feel so pregnant I remain aware that we still have a long road ahead of us in which I will only get more.. and more pregnant. This will not be the last you see of this shirt, but if there is one thing that keeps us all going it is the excitement of bringing these new tiny people into our world. There simply is nothing better, SO pregnant or not.
