10 things that make me happy 37 weeks prego

36 Weeks in Birmingham, Alabama

1. Whoever invented chocolate and then whoever thought “wow this will taste good with milk”. Seriously all I am drinking is chocolate milk.

2. My boyfriend. He makes me laugh at stupid things to distract my mind from my hip pain and idea of impending childbirth.

3. My little baby’s ultrasound photos to remind me how sweet he is sleeping in my belly while I endure all this pain.

4. Pinterest. I have read a million and one links, articles, pins about anything from essential oils, oatmeal bars, to baby nursery decor and how to get my bikini butt back by summer.

5. iPad for making all of that happen^ HA! Thank you Steve Jobs.

6. I’m loving the Nordstrom beauty bar right now. It’s hard to try on clothes pregnant when you feel like a whale and I can’t bend over for shoes so hello makeup. I bought just Mac Studio Fix Fluid for my winter skin but went in looking for the Clarins Radiance Golden Glow booster to add to my moisturizer so I don’t have to use bronzers. Google review it now. However, they were out of stock so I’m still pale and waiting to spend 30 dollars on like 1 oz of oil.

7. Leggings, thank you. Yoga pants, thank you. A generic size medium or small makes me feel better about my size to convince myself maybe my body hasn’t changed that much. It has. My butt from these stretching hips looks like Spongebob’s but hey at least I have a good yoga pant.

8. Target baby aisles where I have random conversations about which hand sanitizer is best for baby skin. You make me feel sane about worrying about small things like that while my boyfriend worries more about when we are leaving.

9. Vanderpump Rules. Truly the best form of crazy I can watch. I love you and your drama. Sometimes I want to drink a JalapeƱo Margarita with you people like we are friends but then I remember we aren’t and I’m prego.

10. Heating pads for my cramping legs so I can hopefully sleep tonight in this cold Southeastern weather. Goodnight, sweet dreams for me and my little one. No crazy ones like I’ve been having this prego.
