PREGNANCY RECAP // BRANDS AND PRODUCTS

pregnancy NO. 2 has been so different than the first time around. since the peak of it was during the summer, add in heat, an increase in outdoor activities, and an absence from my true home base (cali); we go to idaho for the summer. oh! and having a toddler. these changes added in so many great aspects but in majority, it felt quite a bit harder. the sun would really evaporate my energy when usually it is my favorite place in the world. the social interactions were at an all time high, which is a fun change but an exhausting one while carrying a baby. and even though i am both an extrovert and introvert, I lean more towards the latter + I am a TOTAL HOMEBODY, so i was craving space, quiet, and a more normal routine.

what has been SO ENJOYABLE during these last nine months has been discovering my pregnancy summer style and also freeing the BUMP. free people has been game changing, and now that the cooler months are approaching, these jeans or these are everything and more. i also loved wearing these - they are not intended to be worn unbuttoned, but they automatically become a cool pregnancy jean when you do. and then they fit styled in the original way post pregnancy.

I wanted to share some more great pieces and products I have used and love during this pregnancy▪️they made the journey feel much more smooth sailing and it helped me embrace the last several months even more!

this halter tank is so comfy and grows well with the bump.

these are an absolute must buy - they stretch so perfectly and then will fit normally post birth, so it is a win win.

i love a good classic black string bikini, and this one has truly been better quality than any i have owned and is under $28

this backpack is so perfect and easy for errands, activities and a diaper bag if you have another kid/kids!

this is a really nice every day tank that will cover the bump well.

these overalls were so cozy and the intended baggier fit made them before for pregnancy.

i have every color of this tank but have used it instead as a bra.

these shorts were great for working out - they adjust really well as you grow.

this jacket has been my favorite for years and is extra cozy while carrying a babe!

these sneakers are so so comfy, cute and supportive

this bikini was my other go to - it fits every figure so well and stretches where it needs to as your body changes.

this support suit is something I have worn so often, and it is so comfy and truly supportive. you can dress it up or down too!

if you follow me on insta, you know these are my absolute favorite pregnancy pants.
