Pregnancy Favorites: First Trimester
Despite how spirit crushing morning sickness was, I made a concerted effort to find the positive, no matter how small -- by tackling those times living hour to hour, and if I'm being completely candid, moment to moment.
Below are my favorite things and memories from the first trimester:
Meghan Trainor Concert // Jaws + Symphony on Art Hill // Kevin Hart // Barrels, Bourbon and the Bees Knees + Dinner al fresco at Pastaria on an unseasonably warm evening // Road trip to Chicago (replete with a Cubs game and Shake Shack).
Hydration: Ice Water/Vitamin Water Zero/Nuun (basically anything with electrolytes)
Nausea: Preggie Drops (Thanks Jennifer!), Popsicles
Skincare (in addition to my normal routine): L'Occitane Almond Oil (to keep the belly/boobies moisturized as they grew) + Extra Strength Persa Gel (because, gestational acne)
Clothes: Bella Band/Nursing bra
Comfort Measures: Body pillow (old, from Sams // similar)
Pregnancy Tracker/Info: This weekly infographic (for symptoms/growth to come), Sprout app (journal, weight tracker, Dr. questions), The Bump app (belly photos storage/organization)
