LOVE THIS POST! That is how I am now too! Its totally crazy!
Oh Carrie, you crack me up!!!
I predict post baby your routine will be one step.... close eyes :)
Also, I recommend eating a brownie after your ice cream to be extra extra safe- live it up.
You crack me up.
love it! unfortunately, i relate all too well!
do you have a name chosen?
Nope - no name agreement yet...hopefully one day before he is off to school we will have settled on a name.
ha ha! i can relate! unfortunately i also relate to sarah's post now too. i love it. can't wait to see you!
So tell me about this anti-stretch cream. Does it really work?
And I totally agree about the prenatal vitamin part. It's the one thing will that will drag me out of bed once I am finally comfortable...that and maybe the inadequate size of my bladder!
My mom got it for me at a speciality store in Boulder. But I know you can get it all over the place - probably at the body shop, etc. Mine is an oil, but I think you can get it in cream/lotion format. It basically prevents stretch marks and so far I don't have any. Also some times my stomach gets really itchy - like the skin is pulling apart. That always makes it feel better. They say you really want to use it in your last 3 months before baby is born, and in the 3 months after baby is born.
Good to know because my belly does get really itchy! I'll check it out!
hee hee, carrie! welcome to the world of motherhood (aka, sleep-free zone) the adventure is just beginning...but it's good to see you have a sense of humor about it!
