I am so skeptic when I see "MUST TRY" stuff promoted online and I am also one of those people who swore I would never push products on my friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came Thrive. I saw something that asked....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span aria-hidden="true" class="blast tbn-flight-sentence"></span><br /></div>

I am a mom of a 7 1/2 month old who works fulltime....I thought living a life fueled on Starbucks was just how it was going to be. Then I decided, why not try this THRIVE?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What happened? I have energy all day. Literally. Doing my workouts at 7:30 pm (when my son is asleep) and haven't drank coffee in weeks. Focused. Happy. I can't say enough good things about how I feel!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been looking for a round coffee table for a while. I came across this low pedestal round table by Heredon Furniture on Craigslist this summer and Jason and I drove to the location in Severn. When we arrived it was an AMAZING new waterfront home. The seller/homeowner was extremely nice and showed us around the home and property. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ended up buying the table for $40, which was a great deal since it was such high quality and solid. The table had some discoloration and needed an update, especially to match our décor. With the move and the house redo, this table project was put on the back burner until this weekend.</div>

**This book was a game changer!! We had JC sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and crying doesn't last more than a few minutes now. </div>

In the book they talk about the 5 S's and some items to register for can help with that- (soothe/suck- pacifier, swinging- a swing, swaddle- blankets, susher- the shusher app/device...the last S is stomach or side positioning so nothing needed to buy there).</div>

All the other books scared me to death...avoid books like "What to Expect...."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a list of the things I found to be "registry worthy" and things we have used daily since JC was born 2 months ago that made our lives easier- and in no particular order of importance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each pictured is the brand/model we use.</div>
<br />
<br />
1. Bottles<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bYXVZXig4t8Ni-MT-13j8qVMTncXMuzJDm3MF0NntMRIw92x6zS4dcLEfxqKFKiqfRXO8QcWNgjK3Nw6-AuhVuV34C3gBfkVjH7c_eorVBkOEkO9SeYusJnkKvQ5pkN1PcqV_gxcuM-5/s1600/bottles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bYXVZXig4t8Ni-MT-13j8qVMTncXMuzJDm3MF0NntMRIw92x6zS4dcLEfxqKFKiqfRXO8QcWNgjK3Nw6-AuhVuV34C3gBfkVjH7c_eorVBkOEkO9SeYusJnkKvQ5pkN1PcqV_gxcuM-5/s320/bottles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went with Dr. Browns. They have a bunch of parts which can make cleaning a pain, but it is for good reason (air flow/ anti colic) and they were the ones that JC latched on to. I like the wide neck plastic. There are different size nipples for various ages that can be purchased to fit in the same bottles which is nice too. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Word of advice- when nesting- don't do this with bottles. I got several sets of different brands and washed and had them all ready to go...well JC only liked these. So for the other sets that were washed and put away with the boxes trashed....total waste. So either just get a few types (not $50 sets) or save your boxes until you realize what works and what can be returned.</em></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Bottle Drying Rack, Brush, and Soap<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This counter top drying rack system from Boon is great! Holds all the bottle parts and the "twig" holds the nipples for drying. The brush gets all the pieces clean and the soap is all natural. You go through a lot of bottles with a newborn and that means you clean a lot of bottles. Make it easy on yourself and get everything shown here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Word of advice- get the largest drying rack...we started with the "patch" and it barely fit all the parts and they were falling off on the counter and had to be carefully placed to make room. Getting the larger one- "the lawn"-holds everything without any extra thought of organizing which when you are tired you do not have the patience for!</em></div>
<br />

3. Bobby Pillow and Cover<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhovIOl-VvWCbFftLlTzVI7Ua9JNLTjgNW9tTeh_7pNrwtaagnJP_9Icr8pgWzr4UAffpk3gj7sTQteinhf4BE2dpSoP2S5PFR_Rfgz0gSqT4js9e6rsMWD0xbLkjnlOSYWN9g2lx9Zwfy0/s1600/boppy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhovIOl-VvWCbFftLlTzVI7Ua9JNLTjgNW9tTeh_7pNrwtaagnJP_9Icr8pgWzr4UAffpk3gj7sTQteinhf4BE2dpSoP2S5PFR_Rfgz0gSqT4js9e6rsMWD0xbLkjnlOSYWN9g2lx9Zwfy0/s320/boppy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Although I did not nurse, this pillow came in handy for feedings as well as propping up JC on the couch, (while we were with him of course) and he often fell asleep in this position. The cover easily zips off for cleaning. </div>
<br />
4. Bassinet<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim7v_wwjzNFe-U0j-e-nlL9Hi3S8q8H9_KTFS1zjfOMEVLcXm1xnwEHfMxdnygov_79twXq2XEKv8OS0as7wxEgkc_o7mYeww8PYTNtIKRv-qXGVjKGD1EMS69GrqTeuQCxTYKzby5Rfuj/s1600/bassinet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim7v_wwjzNFe-U0j-e-nlL9Hi3S8q8H9_KTFS1zjfOMEVLcXm1xnwEHfMxdnygov_79twXq2XEKv8OS0as7wxEgkc_o7mYeww8PYTNtIKRv-qXGVjKGD1EMS69GrqTeuQCxTYKzby5Rfuj/s320/bassinet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Simmons bassinet came free with the purchase of my crib. At first I didn't plan to buy a bassinet, but it proved to be very useful. The first 3 weeks, we used the bassinet in our bedroom, then transitioned him to the nursery in his crib. We then moved and since stuff was in storage, we again used the bassinet. I often used it while I showered, since I could easily move the bassinet around (on wheels) and roll it up near the bathroom door. JC loved the mobile and music (plays 3 melodies) and also vibrates. The bottom storage sections is nice for burp cloths and blankets as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
5. Monitor<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwccXZPc_lLNQACqUpSxQrx_jR9d8s1fp_JCx86G2pw8Vji2yMqNgKpqVaReKrqKvGUScYqyR_Wu_aDT56veCN6yWcSiJmZemzrrI_1INICws7kPsHegeStggr_Ma1N8TejiMPpOyF_HbH/s1600/monitor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwccXZPc_lLNQACqUpSxQrx_jR9d8s1fp_JCx86G2pw8Vji2yMqNgKpqVaReKrqKvGUScYqyR_Wu_aDT56veCN6yWcSiJmZemzrrI_1INICws7kPsHegeStggr_Ma1N8TejiMPpOyF_HbH/s320/monitor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Gets daily use and worth every penny and needs no explanation to why, but I will say this model is great (<span class="a-size-large" id="productTitle">Levana Keera 3.5"). It is a clear display, long battery life, and even takes pictures and records video.</span></div>
<br />
6. Crib/Dresser/Changing Station<br />
<br />
This furniture is clearly a necessity. There are a lot of clothes, blankets, towels, and bibs that you will want to store, so having a larger dresser or two is handy. Our one dresser we used as a changing table and the crib converts to a bed- so all the items serve more than one purpose/use. <br />
<br />
<br />
7. Diaper Bag and Accessories<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow it was not easy to find a simple diaper bag that was free of flowers, horrid prints, and 5 gazillion outer pockets- which screams diaper bag. This bag from Skip Hop is perfect, simple, and durable- hooks to stroller, can be worn over shoulder, and is sleek.</div>

This J Cole pacifier holder is snapped to the outer strap of the diaper bag and fits 2 pacifiers. It sounds silly, but this item is a must and makes getting a pacifier quick without having to dig through a bag especially when driving.</div>

Just as we had hooked to our dogs leash, we now have hooked to the diaper bag. These bags are slightly larger and designed for diapers, they come in handy on the go for storing dirty diapers when a trashcan isn't close by (like a change done in the car in a parking lot).</div>

We began using the Avent pacifier but gravitated more to the MAM pacifiers, which JC seemed to like more and not fall out as easy since they were smaller and not as wide. Both BPA free and approved for 0-6 months of age. We began day 2 using a pacifier.</div>

9. Wipe Warmer<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So many registry lists say that this is not a must have.....well when you are changing a crying baby with a poopy diaper that is squirming around, having wipes pop right up is much better than having to use two hands to try to get them out of those crappy plastic things they come in and then worrying about them drying up! Plus this one from Price Lionheart has a nightlight, so changing at night is easy without having to turn on a bright baby waking light. </div>

This baby water rinser is great for keeping water out of the baby's eyes and the soft rubber is nice to protect baby's head. This cute one is the one we have from Skip Hop.</div>

A swing is a must for newborns. JC naps in his daily. This model from Graco is nice because it swings, vibrates, and disassembles to a portable bouncy seat. Has a bunch of settings and sounds, but we keep it on the highest setting and never use the sounds. </div>

These super soft breathable swaddle blankets are from Aden + Anais (we have the rock star set shown here). They are the perfect size for swaddling and dub as a blanket, burp cloth, tummy time blanket, you name it these are used all the time and get softer with each wash. Worth the price. </div>

I had no clue what this contraption was the first month or so, but glad I found out and got one! This recliner is perfect for baby to hangout in and nap- safe, effective, and honestly looks really comfy! Was pricey ($130 <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=53481626&camp=PLAPPCG-_-PID20128556:BRUS&cagpspn=plab_20128556&eESource=CAPLA_DF:53481626:TRUS">HERE</a> ) but if something makes your baby sleep and stay asleep- well then it is worth every penny! The cover zips off for washing and there are straps to keep them in once they are more mobile. For use on the floor (not in a crib) so great for the living room. </div>

4. Mitts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
People told me these were needed to prevent baby from scratching his face....I put them on constantly in the first few days, although they kept coming off. When I was at the doctor, he advised me that these mitts limit the baby's ability to use his hands and should never be worn and minor scratches are not life threatening and far better than a child who cannot use his hands. In the last two months he still hasn't scratched his face :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This stuff is all great and I'm sure will be used down the road, but the first few months baby is way too young for this stuff. My advice- get the stuff you will use right away and get this stuff later.</div>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
I was terrified to become pregnant and now that my pregnancy is over, I have to say that many of the things I feared or was told were either BS or just didn't happen to me.<br />
<br />
I stayed very active. I worked fulltime, attended my final semester of grad school, completed an internship, and graduated all while trying to sell my house.....And worked out almost daily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure everyone is different but here is what I found to be true and what I found to not be true....</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>FALSE</u></div>
<br />
1. No exercise.<br />
- total BS! I worked out my ENTIRE pregnancy. Ran up to 28 weeks and walked after that. Still walking (4 miles today with 12 days to due date). Also did body pump 3 days a week, just lower weights and at 20 weeks no abs or chest (lying down on back). <br />
<br />
2. Your hair gets thicker and doesn't shed.<br />
-I have extremely thick hair, always have, and it still sheds just as much as it did pre-pregnancy.<br />
<br />
3. Back pain/Sciatica <br />
- Didn't happen to me- guessing because I worked out and kept core strong I was able to easily support the huge belly.<br />
<br />
4. You cannot sleep.<br />
- Slept just fine FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY PREGNANCY once I got the body pillow (which I discussed in an earlier post <a href="http://domesticatedofficer.blogspot.com/2015/04/pregnancy-must-have-body-pillow.html">HERE</a>). Towards the very end, it did become harder to get comfortable- awake or asleep!<br />
<br />
5. You are tired all the time.<br />
- Again BS. I was tired in the first few weeks of the first trimester (probably because I was sick) and now towards the end I am noticing I am more tired (probably because I am huge) but I was not tired for a majority of my pregnancy.<br />
<br />
6. You will swell up- both your hands and feet.<br />
- Up until last 2 weeks, I was still wearing my wedding ring and my shoes fit just fine. After long walks I noticed swelling, but so does my husband and he is not pregnancy- it is because it's 100 degrees out. Since I was a week late, I def noticed it at the very end.<br />
<br />
7. Summer heat will kill you or you will be hot.<br />
-Maryland heat and humidity is hot for anyone. Being pregnant doesn't make you hotter.<br />
<br />
8. You will have weird cravings- ie pickles and ice cream.<br />
-Gross and untrue. <br />
<br />
9. You are skinny- you will be all belly.<br />
- Nope- try belly, boobs, thighs, and face. Yes- it is mostly belly, but it went other places too.<br />
<br />
10. Your boobs will hurt badly and leak milk all over.<br />
- My breasts hurt in the first trimester, but that went away around the same time the morning sickness did which was 10 weeks. It felt like the soreness of PMS.<br />
-NEVER LEAKED, EVER while pregnant!<br />
<br />
11. You cannot keep your beauty routine (color hair, nails, whiten teeth, spray tan).<br />
-Yes you can and yes I did. All were deemed safe by doctor.<br />
<br />
12. You will pee your pants- like when you sneeze, cough, etc.<br />
-Happy to report this is untrue! Yes you will have to go more as baby grows and presses on your bladder and you are drinking a crap ton more water, but I never peed my pants!<br />
<br />
13. Moody<br />
-Not true. Yes I was more emotional, but I felt really happy & excited throughout my pregnancy. People at work even commented that I was being strangely nice! <br />
<br />
14. Bad skin- face<br />
-At first I noticed some skin issues, but I had also just started a new line of products. I stopped and went back to my old routine and my skin cleared right up and stayed amazing throughout.<br />
<br />
15. Stretch marks- everyone gets them.<br />
-NO THEY DO NOT! At 38+ weeks I have none!! I used lotion twice a day beginning of my pregnancy and never stopped. My doc has even commented how I have NONE!! <br />
<br />
16. Your nose will get wider.<br />
-Total BS. Didn't happen and the doc said it's a myth.<br />
<br />
17. You can't have sex.<br />
-Yes you can and yes I did. <br />
<br />
18. You can drink wine.<br />
-I didn't drink a drop of booze....did not want to even take the chance. What is one glass of wine anyway? The health of my baby was way more important to me.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>TRUE</u></div>
<br />
1. Weight Gain<br />
-This is obviously not a surprise and I was told early on by my doc, a pound a week was a good number/goal for me with my starting weight. Went a total of 41 weeks and one day- gained 45 lbs total.<br />
<br />
2. Food Aversions<br />
-I was DISTUSTED by meat for months. The look, the smell, the thought of it- grossed me out. I began to eat yogurt and beans as other sources of protein. After a while it didn't bother me and I went back to eating meat. <br />
<br />
3. Morning Sickness<br />
-The first few weeks of pregnancy were ROUGH. Constant headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain- like a permanent hangover. Luckily by week 10 I was back to normal.<br />
<br />
4. People are nice to you.<br />
-This is totally true. Total strangers will hold doors for you, ask you how you are, etc. It was a strange thing to get used to, but was nice. <br />
<br />
5. People ask you questions. <br />
-And it does get annoying answering them (especially from strangers and especially towards the end of your pregnancy). Some questions are so weird, like "are you having him normal?" Referring to if I am delivering vaginally or by C-section- either of which is NORMAL and will be decided by my doctor and the baby's position- not a choice. Or "are you breast feeding?" Again, no ones business but my own. And my favorite, "are you returning to work?" Having a baby that costs money, not delivering a trust fund.<br />
<br />
6. People share their stories.<br />
-Everyone wants to share their story- either how they delivered, their pregnancy, or their wives (or just someone they may know) story.<br />
<br />
7. You need maternity underwear.<br />
-I did not buy any maternity underwear. I did switch from thongs to briefs about 20 weeks in, but nothing maternity.<br />
<br />
8. Increased urination<br />
-Yes. You drink more water and baby sits on bladder. True!<br />
<br />
9. Skin<br />
-Although my face looked great, my back broke out which never happens. Around 36 weeks, it finally began clearing up.<br />
<br />
10. The GLOW<br />
-Many people told me I had the glow. I think my face was just puffier which filled in some fine lines, but hey not a bad side effect. I noticed fine lines were less noticeable, prob because of the weight gain.<br />
<br />
11. Pregnancy brain aka forgetfulness<br />
-VERY TRUE. Maybe because you are preoccupied & stressed with the idea of a human growing inside of you that you will deliver and care for, but I became very forgetful during my pregnancy. <br />
<br />
12. Constipation<br />
-Occurred when taking OTC prenatal vitamins. Once I switched to prescription, I was fine. <br />
<br />
13. Heartburn<br />
- Very mild and was really like acid reflux. It happened when I ate stuff with tomato sauce- so I avoided it and was ok. Tums helped too.

With fall approaching, I'm loving the look of the classic Army Green Military Jacket. This an item that you can spend a little or a lot on!<br />
<br />
I ended up ordering the CHEAP version of this from OldNavy.com and was pleasantly pleased! Thick, decent quality material and I love the cinched in waist detailing to not look so boxy. <br />
<br />
Below is the one I ordered along with some pricier versions. <br />

Little did I know, similar type devices have been used by new moms to recover after child birth. Girdles are basically compression garments that work by drawing in stretched muscles to provide a 360° support structure around the torso, thus, reducing strain on ligaments and joints in the lower back, pelvis, and buttocks. By reducing any stress in these areas may enhance your body’s ability to return to its pre-pregnancy alignment, shape and to lose the post baby tummy faster. </div>

Designed to support the stomach area, these are a little different than the cinchers which are considered dangerous and pose health risks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes the hospital will provide you with a girdle, but I decided to buy two on of the most popular ones on the market, in hopes they will be more effective and more comfortable.</div>

I was really surprised to find a dress similar to an expensive dress I saw at Nordstrom recently at Old Navy- which is where I have gotten some great and inexpensive maternity items!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both dresses are white with a gray stripe pattern and both have a narrow neckline and fitted bust and flare bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both are on sale and even with the sales- the designer dress is about $230 MORE than the Old Navy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I like the look of the expensive one much better, the Old Navy dress is a close comparison and is perfect for a dress you may only wear one time.</div>

<a href="http://www.teesbytina.com/dresses">Tees by Tina Dress</a>- the crosshatch style. I purchased from Nordstrom, it was $98 compared to $120 on the Tees By Tina site. Bought in both red and gray and wore each to a wedding. This one size fits all dress fits like a glove and rouching hides unsightly lines.</div>

Once the warmer weather hit, I fell in love with the simple tank dress. My favorite is by Ingrid and Isabele and sold on their <a href="http://www.ingridandisabel.com/shop/dresses?gclid=CNaLxI_vhcYCFZYWHwodGLUAwA">website</a> and at Nordstrom. I bought the same dress in Aqua, Navy, and Red/Pink/Coral color.- they are available <a href="http://www.ingridandisabel.com/shop/dresses/1256-pleated-tank-dress">here</a> and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ingrid-isabel-ruched-maternity-tank-dress/3522028?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=2375500&fashionColor=Metal&resultback=402">here.</a> $88 each. </div>

So buying maternity clothing can be a challenge since you pretty much can only find stuff online (ALL OF THE ABOVE WAS BOUGHT ONLINE!)</div>

There is definitely trial and error...below was a cute dress sold at both Nordstrom and <a href="http://www.bellablumaternity.com/">Bella Blu Maternity</a> by <a href="http://www.bellablumaternity.com/olian-angela.html">Olian Angela</a>. Looked so cute in the pics but when I got it UGH HORRIBLE FIT! Made me look 50000000 lbs! Lesson learned- empire waist not for me- the tighter the better! </div>

I love online shopping! Using promo codes and being able to shops sales are a great way to get some good deals. <br />
<br />
I also love getting ideas for great outfits from blogs and Pinterest. <br />

Here are a few items I picked up recently for this Spring and Summer (preg and post!)<br />

I was hesitant to order this, since I never used the site before and was scared it would be from China and fit terribly. But after reading the reviews on the item and of the site, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! The material is great and the colors are just as amazing in person.</td></tr>

Being pregnant is truly a learning experience that no one can prepare you for. Sure people say this will happen or you need to buy this, but everyone is different and has different experiences. That being said I had heard of a body pillow or maternity pillow, but I assumed it was just more crap to buy that I really wasn't going to need. </div>

At week 27, sleep had become difficult. Going to bed and getting comfortable was impossible. As a stomach sleeper or back sleeper, now having to sleep on my side, was hard. I woke up stiff every morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubs said I needed a "snoogle" and he was going to buy me one. His co-worker said his wife swore by it during her pregnancy. A snoogle I found out is just another (and very creepy name) for a maternity body pillow. He purchased one for me on his way home from work Friday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave it a try that night. I became frustrated after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out how in the hell to lay with it, but once I figured it out I was finally comfortable! Best of all- not stiff or uncomfortable in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So $60 for an odd shaped pillow- yes....it is a must in my book! And thank you to my amazing hubs xoxo<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it was back in January that I first began to see the advertisements for the Lilly Pulitzer collaboration with Target. Yesterday morning, I woke up early (that happens when your prego and go to bed early) and decided to try my luck at Target after looking on the site and seeing all the clothing items out of stock in my size. I arrived at the store about 20 minutes prior to opening and was surprised to see a line was already formed, maybe only about 50 ft. long. Filled with excited women, we gabbed about how stupid we were for getting up to shop and about what we wanted to buy. The line got extremely long very quickly and the store opened their doors right at 8 am. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say it was mayhem, is an understatement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Picture Black Friday times 10. Limited supplies and people grabbing whatever they could. Only a few racks with clothes and the employees would wheel out a cart full of an item (like towels or chairs) and people would just go nuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure how, but I didn't run or push and a few of the items I really wanted! I was going for a few clothing items, where most girls were going for the home goods. People were stalking dressing rooms and as soon as an item was put down, another girl or two snatched it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I got:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I got lucky, I got what I wanted in the sizes I wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't realize it at the time, but I should have bought whatever and then sold it on Ebay- with any items are going for triple to five times the cost! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was unfortunate to see the women with carts full of stuff, knowing it was just going to be resold and the really unhappy shoppers leaving empty handed. </div>

<strong>What I got:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Illuminating Shampoo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2.Illuminating Conditioner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Brass Color Correcting Treatment</div>

</div>

<strong>Overall:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Positives-</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good lather, easy to rinse out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Left hair feeling soft and clean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Negatives-</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did not see an improvement in my color- blonde did not look any brighter as it claims.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very strong floral/perfume sent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Note:</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not use the color correcting treatment. I get my hair professionally highlighted and it is not brassy. I did not want to take the risk of unnecessarily using a product and having it alter my hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Opinion:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a Redkin girl...I absolutely love their blonde glam line as well as their volume line. I have also used Alterna and Pureology for a while, but have been most impressed with the Redkin lines. Products are really going to have to work for me to switch!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">**I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.**</span></div>

Pregnancy is not an easy thing, at least to me it's not. Lots of worry and stress and a lot of lifestyle and body changes, but I've definitely tried to keep up exercising and have gotten really excited when it comes to planning and shopping for the nursery, clothing, etc. Lucky for me my husband is AMAZING and has been so helpful along the way. </div>

Yes that's the name! We came up with a few, but this one really stuck with us and I love it!</div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">So at about 21 weeks I had to break down and shell out money (a lot) on maternity clothes. Up to this point, I was rocking leggings, which had become insanely uncomfortable, tight, and not flattering. Many of my shirts were too short and again, not comfortable. <br />
<br />
Here's how I built my maternity wardrobe:<br />
<br />
I bought staple bottoms and where I shelled out the most money. I wanted good jeans and work pants and got these from <a href="http://www.apeainthepod.com/">A Pea in the Pod</a>. The closest store was Bethesda, but it was worth the drive. Again good quality, but pricey, however they fit nice and look good so at this point that's all I wanted!<br />

Next I searched for tops. My go to were my purchases from <a href="http://gap.com/">Gap.com</a> I bought basic t-shirts and tanks. The big difference from non-maternity is the rouching- which when you are pregnant is your best friend! This helps hide your belly button and any bulges. Also the length is longer to cover your bump and you don't have to constantly keep pulling down your shirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely recommend fitted. Anything big, looks terrible. Tighter the better so you look pregnant and not like a huge massive person in a drapey top!</div>

Next I went for dresses! Needed a few good things for weddings, showers, and work events. Found a lot at <a href="http://asos.com/">ASOS.com</a> and loved the fact they have free shipping <em>both </em>ways! Only issue I had was the sizing, but once I figured out what fit best, I was super happy with what I got. Anything that I ordered that was not form fitting, got returned. Again the loose stuff looked like a tent on me and was super unflattering. </div>

Next I ordered some linen pants, similar to what I had seen shopping at A Pea in the Pod, but for WAY cheaper. From Old Navy (online) I bought a very similar linen pant, for only $21 each (sale plus promo code) with shipping. They are so comfortable and cannot wait to wear them!</div>

The hardest part about buying maternity clothes was getting all the basics to make multiple outfits as well as get some pieces to wear to events- all having to be comfortable and flattering- no easy task.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also different than typical shopping since you don't want to invest a lot of money into stuff you aren't going to wear for long. I don't plan on more children, so I looked at these items as short term wear. Most stores have maternity clothes, but ONLY online (Loft, Nordstrom) or what is in store is a really small picked over selection. I found the best deals online especially when using promo code. </div>

It's no secret how much I love Valentine's Day! To some it may be just another "made up holiday" but I love the mushiness! I love the idea of celebrating love. I love devoting a day to just hanging out, one on one, eating great food, and being romantic. </div>

As an emotional pregnant lady, I began the morning crying over thinking about Valentine's Day 9 years ago.....my husband made me this huge card out of poster board (that year I told him he had to make me a card and not buy one). He used pictures of us to tell a funny love story and it is still my favorite card :)</div>

This year, my love and I headed out in the unexpected snow slash wind storm to downtown Baltimore to the new <a href="http://baltimore.voltfamilymeal.com/">Family Meal</a> restaurant. We have previous dined at the Frederick location and were happy to have this new one open close to home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great food, reasonably priced, and not fancy- this was a great place to have dinner on a night were dining out can be over crowded, over priced, and rushed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We sat next to a couple who have been married for over 28 years and we ended up talking with them throughout the meal- literally dined with strangers- but great conversation!</div>

For years I've lusted over the iconic black quilted Chanel bag. I'm not sure if it is the chain strap, or the classic leather exterior- but this simple bag is something I'll be left dreaming after since they are over $5k. Chanel sells different styles, sizes and materials, but unfortunately all carry a hefty price tag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've seen the real deal in person and it's amazingly soft and well made. Chanel also refurbishes old bags (for a charge of course) but can make an expensive purchase into a lifetime product.</div>

I have been a size 0 (yes zero) since high school. By eating healthy and committing to regular exercise, I was able to maintain a regular healthy weight and a body that I liked. When you are a size zero, you can wear <em>anything</em> and everything looks good. Since becoming pregnant, I had to adjust this mindset and quickly came to the realization that not everything looks good....anymore. </div>

Other then that it's been regular clothing. I decided early on not to spend a lot of money on a maternity wardrobe and to buy things I could wear not pregnant or that I could easily consign. </div>

When I began to show, my hubs and I were traveling to NC for a wedding. I felt so super self conscious over the way my stomach looked. The night before the wedding, I wore a classic loose button up shirt with black stretch jeans. I opted for a high waist flare dress for the night of the wedding. </div>

The following week, my bump became more pronounced....which honestly made me feel better, since it looked like a baby bump and not a beer/fast food diet caused belly. This was also the weekend of my hubs work holiday party, that was of course formal attire. I went for a classic black dress, with a folded fabric design in the midsection.</div>

I tried regular maternity pants, but all are way too big (in the legs, butt, and well everywhere). They looked like MC Hammer Pants! I bought a pair of black leggings from Loft and a few others in black and dark grey from Nordstrom Rack. I also got a loose pair of navy blue from Boston Proper. Hoping these get me by until warmer weather. </div>

As the bump begins to grow, I may have to break down and purchase actual maternity clothing, but for now at 4 months, I'm holding strong :)</div>

I know some thought the day may never come, but the hubs and I decided it was time to expand our family and have a child that does have 4 legs and a tail :) After a little bit of trying, we found out the good news early November. <br />

It's no secret that I love to shop. Fortunately for my closet and unfortunately for my wallet, I am often influenced to buy clothes after seeing them styled online, whether it be on Pinterest or on various fashion blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my purchases:</div>

After seeing this outfit online at <a href="http://girlgonefashion.com/">Girl Gone Fashion</a>, I wanted both the skirt and the top! I love the mixed patterns, colors, and how well everything went together. I looked online and only saw the shirt. I honestly forgot about the it, until I stopped in a <a href="http://www.francescas.com/">Francesca's</a> store. While looking around, I found both the skirt and the top on sale! The skirt came to $16.00 and the top $19....both less than $20! </div>
<br />
Shopping tip: Top is still available online <a href="http://www.francescas.com/product/lorelai+paisley+tunic.do?sortby=ourPicksAscend&page=6&refType=&from=fn">here</a>. So many items were on sale, I recommend going to the store. Also if you text Join227 to 22466, you will get a 20% off coupon for in store purchase!<br />

I did a search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/">ebay</a> and found brand new, with tags, for really cheap. It is great quality and super comfortable. I wore it in late summer with shorts and then again in the fall with jeans.</div>

I really liked this Kelly green sweater seen on <a href="http://www.theclassycubicle.com/category/kelly-green-sweater">The Classy Cubicle.</a> Another <a href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/home/index.jsp?direct">Ralph Lauren</a> item and another item no longer sold on their website. Although the blogger offered some similar options on the post, none were as cute as this one pictured. I did another ebay search and was able to find the sweater at only $10 (if I remember correctly)! Even more stunning in person, this is great paired with white cropped pants just as the blogger styled. It also looks great with gold chunky jewelry!</div>

I think I stumbled across this <a href="http://everlyclothing.com/">Everly</a> chevron top on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. I clicked the link but their site did not have online shopping. After a Google search I saw the brand was sold at boutiques and at Nordstrom. I think I ended up buying this top for $8 off <a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/tiffanymro23">Poshmark</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shopping tip: Poshmark is one of many online consignment shops where you can buy and sell clothing. Although I have had more luck selling on Ebay, there are some great sites to find some good deals or hard to find items. </div>

I found this adorable dress on <a href="http://instagram.com/#">Instagram</a> of all places, on the account of Ali Fedotowsky (I'm guessing a Bachelorette contestant?) The dress she listed as a <a href="http://www.bcbgeneration.com/DRESSES/shop-dresses,default,sc.html#sz=69">BCBG</a> dress and I went to their site and purchased it ASAP. I wore it for the <a href="http://www.sandals.com/">Sandals</a> dinner cruise in Baltimore a week later. I used a promo code and got $25 off and free shipping....dress was around $55.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched high and low to find the perfect, simple, navy puffer vest, like these above!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You think it would be easy, but it was quite hard to find! Many stores had crazy colors, or shiny materials, or bulky hoods. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I found the exact vest pictured above with the gold buttons on the pockets at J. Crew online (stores did not carry the Navy this year), however it sold out in AUGUST in normal sizes....only XL is available.</div>
