It’s November which means some people have already started making their Christmas lists and planning out their gifts. I thought it’d be fun to create a series of gift guides to help others out as they plan for the upcoming holiday season. Check back every Friday for a new one! We’re kicking off the lists with items you can get a mom-to-be in your life.
Do you have a mom-to-be to buy for this year? Are you wondering what you should get her? Well, I’ll give you one hint – not baby stuff. She’ll be getting plenty of that at her baby shower. Instead, opt for a gift that will give her the chance to practice a little self care before and after the baby is born. I’ve listed a few items that you could buy for her, but I don’t personally know the momma to be that you’re buying for – don’t forget to take her personality and style into account when you’re picking out a gift! A personal gift is always better than a generic one.
Sleep Mask
Chances are the momma to be has been having a little trouble sleeping. Get her something small that will help her sleep better at all times of the day.
Bump Update
Week? 25 weeks
Gender? boy
Size? Prairie dog
Movement? All the time – especially when I lay down
Bump? Yep – it seems to be getting noticeably bigger daily.
Maternity Clothes? All the time!
Stretch Marks? None so far!
Belly button in or out? It’s staying in so far.
Cravings? Still sweets…

What are you missing? I miss being able to move normally. If I move in the wrong direction the slightest bit, there can be pain to follow.

Looking forward to? My best friend from California is flying out to visit for a week. The house is a mess but I’m excited to see her and catch up some!
