Free Things!

So for a while I was feeling like I was in this pregnancy limbo.  The initial excitement of telling friends and family had worn off, and I hadn't started buying baby things or showing yet.  So I felt like I was just at this awkward in between stage.  Well, good news! Getting presents is a great way to pass the time until I start getting the nursery ready and all that jazz.  I haven't gotten much, but it's enough to keep me excited.

MY VERY FIRST PRESENT was from a lady who teaches with my Dad (Shout out to Mrs. T!).  She got me the most beautiful spring crib set.  It has duckies on it so I can use it for a boy or a girl!... I need to take a picture so you all can see how adorable it is.

My birthday was last week and I wanted to be selfish and get presents for myself, but then when people asked me what I wanted... I didn't want anything for myself, I wanted stuff for the baby.  That must be what growing up feels like?? So the Hinckley Clan got me Cocoa Butter & a BeBand.

The Cocoa Butter is fantastic. Well, not that I can tell if it really works yet because my stomach hasn't stretched out, but I'm just hoping it works.  I don't want a stomach that looks like a road map because of all the marks on it.  Sounds gross, but trust me, they're out there... apparently at a strip club in northern maine all the ladies look like "road maps"... gross, I didn't need to tell you that. Anywho, here's to hoping for a smooth tummy!

The BeBand is super cool.  Instead of spending money on all sorts of maternity clothes and jeans, which can get expensive... you can keep your regular pants and use a the belly band!  Granted, I think I'll spend most of my time in stretchy sweat pants or gym shorts, BUT on that rare occasion that I want to dress up in jeans and a sweatshirt, I don't need those hideous stretchy maternity jeans! All i do is put on my regular jeans, leave them unzipped and unbottoned, and put the BeBand over them to keep the jeans in place.  It also looks like one of those trendy long tank top layered looks. I'm gonna be so fashionable, I can tell...


...still waiting for El Padre to buy some baby Jordans.  Hopefully if it's a boy it'll be like this nug... besides the whole Asian thing... that would be impossible
