Pregnancy Necessities

Since becoming pregnant I cannot put the books down.

I found that "Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay" is the best book for 

expecting mothers & mothers alike. 

It literally could be written by Chelsea Handler. 

This woman is crazy hilarious. 

Go get it now.

I absolutely live in maternity yoga pants right now.

So comfy.

I can't sleep without my body pillow. 

Sleeping on only the left side of your body can be a complete pain.

So I had to get creative with how to reach comfort.

If you are pregnant this is an absolute MUST!

Raw almonds & water are my go to snack.

Full of protein & antioxidants are just what this soon-to-be-momma needs.

What are your necessities as of late?  

Daddy Comes to Visit

My sweet daddy came to visit this weekend!

Friday night, I decided to make him a homemade chicken pot pie 

& some pumpkin white chocolate chip brownies. 

{Check back for the brownie recipe later this week.}

 Saturday, the hubs & I took my dad to our favorite hole in the wall breakfast spot.

& after my dad took me to Raleigh to get some maternity clothes.

We spend the rest of the afternoon and the movies watching, The Family.

That night we caught up on some football & then headed out for margaritas & Mexican. 

{Of course I only had water...}

Sunday morning, my dad left early but I will see him next Saturday morning, 

as I head back to Memphis to visit my family. 

Hope y'all had a great weekend!
