30 Days of Mom-to-Be: Day 6 – Rebozo (Mexican Shawl) for Labor
As you've probably noticed by now, I tend to march to the beat of my own drum compared to the rest of my family. I am a labor doula, and it's just in my nature to be a natural birth advocate. One of the greatest tools I've had the privilege of utilizing during birth has been the Rebozo Wrap, also known as a traditional Mexican Shawl. However, any shawl or length of fabric will work! The Rebozo is extremely versatile during pregnancy, labor, birth, as well as postpartum! (more…)
30 days of Mom-to-Be Day 5: Baby Clothes (makes mom happy)
I apologize for my absence! I blame it on my sister-in-law. I started watching Grey's Anatomy, and she texted me to catch up so that she could freak out with me over the last episode, so that's what I've been doing. Pitiful, I know. The best way to make mom happy during pregnancy is to feed the hunger of getting ready for the baby! The best way to do that is to buy something FOR the baby. By doing this, you're actually giving mom-to-be the gift of happiness! (more…)
30 Days of Mom-to-Be: Day 4 – Gift Registry
Are you planning on doing a gift registry? I wasn't. Frankly, with baby #4 on the way, I don't see the point. HOWEVER, my BFF, Roxanna the Jolly would not stop bugging me about it, and she insisted I register. So I did. For her. Ha! Password protected, and she's the only one who has the password. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember the password. Did you know that you can do a gift registry via Amazon?? Mine were actually through two different cloth diaper retailers, however, with places like Amazon or Babies R Us, you aren't…
30 Days of Mom-to-Be: Day 3 – Unscented Deodorant
I don't know about you, but when I'm pregnant, NOTHING smells good for very long. I'll light a candle, and it will smell good for the first ten minutes, and after that, I have to blow it out. I'd rather smell the smoke than the scent! What is the point of smell aversions during pregnancy, anyway? Really? (more…)
30 Days of Mom-To-Be: Day 2 – Body or Maternity Pillows
Last night, when I was laying in bed, I would find a comfortable position for it to only last about 2-3 minutes. I would stuff a regular pillow here and there, but it just became a cumbersome task. The next thing on my list to get for a comfortable night's sleep is a body pillow. I really don't care what form or fashion it comes in, I just know that it needs to be more than 35 inches long! (more…)
