I can’t believe how quickly the last few weeks of my pregnancy are going. While its been a long 37 weeks, I know from experience that little bundle will be here before I know it. And my life will never be the same (again).
Throughout all my pregnancies I relied on a daily slather of belly butter. I normally avoid lotions, opting for olive or almond oil instead, but its nice to celebrate my pregnancy with a little indulgence. While the jury is out regarding whether or not belly creams help prevent stretch marks, I have yet to develop any so I’m a firm believer in the power of the balm. Plus, a daily tummy rub is a nice way to say “hi!” to the little miracle growing inside!
My stash of Motherlove Belly Salve just ran out, so I was so happy when OGMama Relaxing Lavender Belly Butter arrived from MightyNest.com. Its free from all the icky stuff I don’t want near any of my kids – no parabens, phthalates, or petroleum – and its certified organic. I love the slogan on the top of the container “What Goes On Goes In.” So true! But, the best part is how it feels on my tired tummy skin – so soft and comforting and relaxing. Kinda like a mini spa treatment!
Evelyn has been so interested in and engaged with this pregnancy. She asks lots of questions and talks often about how she will help when the new family member arrives. She even gives her belly a rub with the balm when I do. A little mommy in training!
