TOTALLY just splurged on a "Power Mama" maternity belly and thigh shaper from Spanx...(FYI, until the 30th of September, the Spanx website is offering free ground shipping. Didn't know that until I was ready to make my purchase - lovely surprise!)
I am excited to get it...
I never feel comfortable when I am pregnant, and shapers help me psychologically, not just physically :)
I am one of those "lucky" people who don't have rolls or back fat or anything like that, but when I am pregnant, my entire lower belly and upper thigh section balloon in ways that are only possible because of pregnancy! Regardless of whether or not I truly have rolls pop out of that, I find that I feel more comfortable when I am wearing my belly band (which isn't really for support as much as fashion and prolonging the use of your pre-pregnancy clothing), but to actually buy something made TO support you, well, that's pretty exciting.
I've never purchased Spanx anything before, but Brian and I were watching late night QVC (we find home shopping networks interesting at times, though we've never made a purchase...lol) and a rep was on for the company talking about their materials (they were trying to sell ladies body shapers and spanx shirts), and I thought "do they have anything like that for pregnant women?"
Yes, yes they do. We'll see how it turns out :)
My little girl turned 1 year old last weekend. It was wonderful. I was at work on her b-day, but called her and we celebrated the next day (which was also Brian's and my anniversary). I brought her a lot of blocks. I want her to be a creative child, and so I am trying to steer away from the more computerized child toys and get her into the stuff I played with as a kid (including cardboard boxes and household things that are benign, but interesting to a baby). heehee. She's such a happy little girl, I love her to itty bitty pieces!
Brian and I are thinking about going back to my old doctor's office. Sure I had 4 doctors instead of just 1, but I knew them all, and they were all female (a big plus for me), and at least I knew what I was getting there....
I've moved hospitals, and it's been a bit of a headache. First of all, my insurance covers 20% less through this hospital and network so I am getting 70% coverage instead of 90%.
I mean, I paid for tests at Reading as per my deductible, but at Chester County the bills keep coming. It's ridiculous. I didn't even GET a bill for my actual delivery, except for a bill for the epidural which I knew was something I'd have to pay separate for anyway. I have a feeling if I go through with this birth at Chester County Hospital, I am going to have many many more bills. It's time to stop the insanity now I think....
45 minute drive to the hospital...*sigh*...Well, labor shouldn't be THAT fast :)
