All I Want For Christmas, Are These...(Part 2)

6. Nursing Bra

Any breastfeeding mother would benefit from a comfortable and hassle-free nursing bra that are easy to unfasten and re-fasten, but still provide the support a breast full of milk requires. After giving birth, the breasts will continue to enlarge as the milk production comes to full operation. So, 1 cup size bigger than the current size should do the trick. No underwires please! Underwire bras, especially those that don't fit well, may block the flow of milk and can even be annoying to wear. 

7. Stretch Mark Cream

One of the most dreaded changes pregnancy brings are stretch marks. They say that it's something that one cannot prevent, but should be a source of pride instead. One of my friends even refer to it as battle scars! Haha! But, a lot of stretch mark creams are available in the market today claiming that they can prevent or improve the appearance of stretch marks. For me, it's worth a try instead of doing nothing about it. At least, even if doesn't work in the end, I won't regret not being able to try it.

8. Jewelry (Heart Earrings and Necklace Set)

Any woman, pregnant or not, will definitely appreciate some sparkly bling as a Christmas gift! It's also one of the best reward a husband can give to his wife for going through the difficulties of pregnancy. I  for one would like to get some dainty white gold jewelry as a present! I'm specifically nuts with  heart-shaped pendants and earrings. A matching bracelet would also be a good addition. ;-)


9. Silver Ladies' Watch

My old silver watch is already broken, so, I badly need a new watch! Haha! I really like the square chain detail of this dress watch from Fossil. It's fun but still lady-like. I can wear this with any outfit! 

10.Nursing Top

I found this nursing tank top from Undercover Mama and I think it's a very useful addition to a breastfeeding mommy's wardrobe. It's actually an undershirt or regular cami to cover your back, sides and tummy while you nurse. It can also be worn in the house as lounge wear or sleep wear. How does it work? Its strapless but has links to attach directly to the outer flaps of a nursing bra. When you unfasten the bra, the Undercover Mama nursing tank opens with it. 

My Christmas Wish List (Part 1)

Holidays are coming and my Christmas wish list is here! Haha! ^_^


Being pregnant during the holiday season has its highs and lows. The most obvious downside are the delicious foods (specially desserts!) that I can't eat. But, the definite high are the gifts, since I can ask for things that I've been dying to have while I'm pregnant or stuff that are going to be very useful after I give birth. This is what my wishlist is all about. I'm sure that many expecting moms out there are secretly wishing for the same gifts this Christmas.


All I Want For Christmas, Are These...(Part 1)

1. Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer

I've been using this product for how many years now and it really keeps my face moisturized, clear, glowing, young-looking and protected from harmful UV rays since it contains SPF 15. It's also safe to use during pregnancy. I'm just a little pissed off lately because I can't find it in malls here. So, if someone can give this to me on Christmas, I'll surely appreciate it! :-)



2. Electric Breast Pump

I believe that breastmilk is best for babies. That's why I'm planning to feed my baby exclusively  on his first year. An electric breast pump will surely come in handy when we travel or when I need to rest and let my husband do the feeding. According to most moms, the most efficient way to express milk is to use an electric pump. From the reviews I've read, Avent and Medela breast pumps are the best. 



3. Black Flat Sandals
I'm already on my 7th month and I don't think it's practical to buy more maternity clothes at this point. So, what's a pregnant girl to do if she can't have more clothes? Splurge on accessories  instead, like shoes! My feet are getting wider and it's time I let them breathe by wearing sexy and comfy flat sandals. 



4. Stylish Diaper Bag
A diaper bag is going to be useful when baby arrives, especially when we go out. Thanks to fashion forward people, diaper bags are now made stylish to look like the usual ladies' bags. Gone are the flowers and cartoon designs! I can even use it before I give birth. No one will know that I'm actually sporting a diaper bag without diapers in it. Haha! This is also the perfect accessory to match the new shoes.



5. Breastfeeding Poncho
This is a must-have for every mom who wants to have the freedom and comfort to breastfeed her baby anytime and anywhere, but in a modest and discrete way. This breastfeeding accessory is versatile enough to be worn in many ways such as a shawl, a scarf, turban or a simple cover-up even after baby starts to eat solid food on his own.
